The Default Thread: Music Edition.

I didn't know that Volcano Suns released anything on Touch and Go. Some good stuff by that band.

[TallGuyCM]

Pretty sure that list is a Touch and Go + Quarterstick (T&G's sister label I read?) combo. The playlist took so long to put together, I didn't bother looking into which label put out what.

[TallGuyCM]

Whew. Just spent the past few hours compiling a Spotify playlist of every album available from this list here.

2,782 total tracks...I think I'm just going to listen to it on shuffle and really sink into it. Massively, massively looking forward to this.

Been listening on shuffle for the last half hour or so, and it's been loud, noisy, and dissonant as fuck. So, in other words, exactly how I imagined and hoped it would be.

[fastmusicfan]

The Touch any Go 25th anniversary in Chicago was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Every single artist gushed over the label. And fucking Big Black played.

[TallGuyCM]

Big Black is the one glaring omission on that Spotify playlist, unfortunately their stuff isn't available.

[bmack86]

Them and Shellac both. Albini doesn't really support digital distribution.

[bmack86]

Actually, Shellac is probably the more glaring, as Big Black was, for a majority of their career, on Homestead records.

[TallGuyCM]

Them and Shellac both. Albini doesn't really support digital distribution.

That's weird, all of Shellac's albums are on Spotify.

[FEELS]

Just thought I'd share this here in case any of you haven't heard..

One of the best albums ever is getting reissued again on vinyl; Marquee Moon on Dec. 4th. You can pre-order it now!

[bmack86]

Oh yay!!!! Is it getting a remaster? Are they going to finally press on vinyl the full version of Marquee Moon, the track?

[bmack86]

That's weird, all of Shellac's albums are on Spotify.

Really? I can't find any of them on my phone or on the desktop app.

[FEELS]

Oh yay!!!! Is it getting a remaster? Are they going to finally press on vinyl the full version of Marquee Moon, the track?

Hm the most information I've found on it was here. So I'm guessing not remastered? And not sure about the track length, I read somewhere that that's how Verlaine wanted it. But wouldn't mind if it was or not. Also, on Insound it says it features three alternate versions of See No Evil, Friction, and Marquee Moon, and a previously unreleased instrumental. Whatever it comes out to be, fuckin' hyped and this is a must buy! Pretty impossible to even find a decent price of the 2003 reissue.

[bmack86]

Well, my copy (an early 80s repress) has a cut-off Marquee Moon, and there doesn't seem to be enough of a runout groove to fully complete the song to the recorded 10:40. The fade-out kind of really kills me, because that shimmering finale is so perfect on the full song. And yeah, this is on my short list for all-time best albums, and the title track is short list best songs and without a doubt has my two favorite guitar solos of all time.

[FEELS]

Oo I see, that's a shame. Hoping to see a full recording then! Yeah I know what you mean. That song (as well as the album) is absolutely perfect, always wish it was ten minutes longer.

[fastmusicfan]

Maybe there's a thread, but, holy shit, Trapped in the Closet.

[bmack86]

Hahahaha. I switched that on after I saw your post. So great.

[fastmusicfan]

I know. Right?

[knytt]

So someone lately claimed that wearing a band's t-shirt to their show is considered faux-pas, a practice I've been following for a few years. I asked a couple of my other friends and have gotten mixed answers. Can anyone shed some light on this? I honestly will probably continue to wear my shirts, because fuck it, I like supporting bands AT their show, but I'd like to get a consensus on the topic.

[SoulDischarge]

It's a wasted opportunity to show off how superior other aspects of your musical tastes are.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Also, simply being at the show is showing your support, isn't wearing the t-shirt kind of redundant?

[knytt]

I guess that's me. Oh well.

Edit: Well if I was in a band, I'd appreciate the hell out of someone a) buying my shirt and b) caring enough about my band to specifically wear it to the show. I understand it's redundant to other people, but then why is it OK (even encouraged) to wear sports jerseys to games?

[TallGuyCM]

I'm definitely anti-wearing the shirt of the band you're about to see as well. Very.

[Gribbz]

but then why is it OK (even encouraged) to wear sports jerseys to games?

Need to know who I'm going to heckle.

This seems like proper fodder to drop in here

[FEELS]

Soo I love when I go to my iTunes and listen to albums front to back that I haven't had the time to yet, and they turn out fucking amazing. That just happened with Mission Of Burma's Vs..

[swhite423]

Just read Nick Oliveri is also collaborating on the new Queens of the Stone Age album....

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

He should just fucking be back in the band.

[bmack86]

Agreed. I don't know how much he contributed to the songwriting process, but Era Vulgeris and Lullabies to Paralyze weren't nearly as good as the ones he played on.
