He also runs The tUMULt label.

NOT CRAP

I picked up this album the other day.

NOT CRAP at all but I can agree with the statement that it's somewhat easy to tune out.

Maybe I just have the wrong album. Flemish Altruism doesn't do it--harmonics, screaming, all the elements of what makes a post-Slint/post-rock/post post post band great, I guess. There is another band that does it better, and their name is Paul Newman.

Crap.

yeah, yeah, I know this is all subjective 'n shit, but I just don't see how one could vote crap for this band. Do you like drums? They have real good drums. Do you like guitars? Their guitars do all sortsa shit. Do you like rockin'? THEY ROCK!

In my opinion, any fan of either Hella or Deerhoof is indebted to Andee Connors--both of these cats rip his beats, style, and actual snare tone off. Willingly or not, I don't know--I would guess not in Deerhoof's case--but it's still there.

I just don't see how one could vote crap--particularly if you've heard their records and not just seen or heard about them.

PORNO SLINT

Ike

I'd rather just listen to Slint.

Kind of boring.

a fine band.

i always thought this band was considered 'metal'. a comparison to slint confuses me a bit.

The drumming is very Brit Walford and the guitars go jing jing jing a lot. (or is it gling gling gling?)

I had roommates circa 1997 who were mad about this band. I listened to their music all the time, saw them live once, and considered them a very good band.

For some reason, I have absolutely no memory now of any of their actual songs, which is strange. I mean, if I really think about it, I can conjure up reasonably accurate audio memories of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Liverpool, for fuck's sake.

Probably not crap, but I just can't remember.
