That Maxwell's set is crunchy as hell - love it

Okay, I actually dig that clip from Maxwell's. I still probably won't get into Sebadoh, but it's the first thing I've heard that made the appeal palpable

Someone said it upthread but Unrest was one for me, before Perfect Teeth. Tried to listen to the early stuff but nothing doing. In theory I should love them. Young Marble GiantsSwell Maps

I think I've said this before but I love the Young Marble Giants album so much that I rarely play it. Which sounds like a Yogi Berra-ism, but I really never want to wear out its charms with overplay and overfamiliarity. It's one of my favorite records of all time.

Unrest - Imperial F.F.R.R. is one of my favorite albums. Interesting though if that does nothing for someone who likes Perfect Teeth!

There are lots of Big Monolithic Albums that I count among my favourites (Colossal Youth, Suicide s/t, The Drift) that I've maybe listened to about five or ten times only. When the music has a simplistic quality to it, it resonates in your brain longer and doesn't require actual listening, at least, that's my experience

The Drift is a great example of that. I love it, have only listened to 3 times, not going to happen again anytime soon either

also, so far i have only listened to laurie anderson's United States Live once, in full, but it was enough to fall in love

My exact experience as well, though I've dipped into bits and pieces over the years. I'm due for a full immersion soon.

i forget, was the original performance of the material from US Live also 4 and a half hours long? If so, were the performances split across multiple nights, or did she do it all in a single night (with intermission, I'd assume)?

I don't remember, but I asked her about archival footage once and apparently it does not exist :(

The Drift, in particular, has a cinematic or radio-play aspect to its sound and structure, so you can absorb it on a dramatic level as well or instead of a typical musical level.

Wikipedia says United States originally ran about 8 hours and that most of what's not on the box set was chiefly visual.

I saw her on the Strange Angels tour. It was one of the most remarkable performances I've ever seen.
