Go ahead and mess around if you want, but I’m the one who’s going to end up paying the price😳

He had to get rid of 😳

fadedowl, just let it go. This thing is going to be the death of me 😳

Yeah, there’s just something about Americans that feels somewhat generic

🙂

Talk about efficiency 😁

So, there was this one concert held right in the lobby of the AMC theater—honestly, one of the worst possible spots you could pick for live music—so here is the photo:

Honestly, as long as this specific thread remains the first and only informative result on Google for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, I find it hard to believe the event even exists at all.

Look, we're only ten days out now, and man, they really let themselves get caught in their own inertia.

Honestly, these shoes look just like those guys from the Voodoo People music video😳

The beer turned out surprisingly decent, even though it was just a Budweiser, and I don't feel drunk at all😕

For the most part, I'm with what David is saying.

There were plenty of hilarious bands playing.

I’ve been digging through some corners of the internet looking for any actual news regarding the Trans Am lineup, but it seems like everything is being kept strictly on local American sites 😳 while the rest of the web is just a complete void.

Anyway, I happened to stumble upon Munley’s MySpace page... apparently Psychopath is going to be there too. Honestly, all this uncertainty is starting to make me lose my appetite for the trip 😳

He basically boiled it down to this: the first one was gorgeous, the second was just more of the same and got tedious, and the third was a total miss that felt like it had nothing to do with Sigur Ros.

Back when we saw them live, they were playing some strictly old-school stuff, but honestly, it all just felt like a mediocre garage band performing alongside a jittery, animatronic version of Iggy Pop.

Anyway, that’s my two cents. I don’t want to be the one to kill the vibe, so please, go ahead and enjoy yourselves. 😳

So, what hollowseal33 is saying is 🙂

edit: sorry for the slow reply 😳

op 😳

The actual topic wasn't really part of the content 🙂

Basically, just an erotic photoshoot from a squat.

There’s a gig this Saturday, right:







And something you haven't seen before:



As a little bonus... hello, sailor:

Where are the rest of the photos?

Antelope is basically Justin's evolution from his days in El Guapo and Supersystem. They put out an EP and a 7" a few years back, but this is clearly his primary focus now rather than just a side project.

The album is up on Dischord, and it carries that distinct Dischord sonic signature—specifically that rich, driving bass. The tracks themselves are lean and straightforward, built around repetitive phrases that:

a) thanks to some really solid drumming, occasionally evoke that classic post-rock era from before everything eventually distilled down into bands like Gybe or Mogwai,
b) feel much more closely linked to the El Guapo sound—specifically the later stuff that was transitioning toward Supersystem—because they lean so heavily on the basslines.

I suspect that dynamic comes from the fact that the bassist and drummer swap roles.🤔

Everything is wrapped in Justin's signature vocal style and melodic sensibility. On the first listen, my reaction was sort of, "Okay, you've done this before, just perhaps a bit more polished..." but by the second listen, the songs become genuinely infectious.😳
I'm not sure how long this run will last, but for now, I'm pretty happy with it.

Here is a track from the title song. It might take over your Winamp and mess up your playlists, but here it is:😳
edit: apparently opens in QuickTime where available

It might be better to just head over to Dischord and give it a proper listen there.

@ *d*: That’s how things stand, though you probably already know that these kinds of debates rarely lead anywhere productive 🙂

de ž., take a breath. if someone feels like describing those few bands as island rock, what's really the issue? 🙂

and please, try to avoid using phrasing like 🙂:

there isn't some grand artistic vision or pursuit of excellence happening here.

look, I'm not exactly a fan of kopito myself, but honestly, it just isn't that deep... 🙂

WCIF was absolutely stunning tonight 🙏

The Russians play their instruments with such intensity that it’s almost intimidating, but at the end of the day, they were mostly just technically proficient without leaving much of an impression.

shake The Sheets is just pure pop perfection from start to finish, whereas the new stuff and Hearts of Oak didn't really click for me, so I didn't bother digging any deeper (did I get my timing right on that? 🤔 )

Oh, and their live shows tend to lean heavily into satire too 🙂

My only real gripe is that I wish the bassist wouldn't act quite so convinced he's playing in '69

I always had this impression that Elvis was more socially conscious...? 🤔

Anyway, the beer has actually been better this past week than it used to be, and it definitely beats that whipped cream beer they were serving at the campus pub. But if it’s just a matter of luck, then we're stuck in a situation where quantity is being traded for quality, and the only way out is 🙂
