Pick your favorite listening room at Unknown

I'll make this quick because my computer is running so painfully slow that quoting is becoming a massive chore.

@Emily Thomas3 : Wow, you really know your stuff... if you ever end up producing LIVE FOREVER, roll with it, Rockin' Chair, rock star, She's Electric, or Acquiesce, it’s going to be absolutely legendary.🙂

@narantxa : MAD FER IT! 😵 😵 😵 😵 😵 😵

Nah, you're wrong... I've got a ton of old posters in my archive that actually say "listening lounge". Honestly, I think I have most of them from back in the nineties. Before I started designing and printing program booklets for KSET a little over five years ago, the posters kind of took a backseat because those booklets were such a killer way to promote things. They’ve made a comeback lately, though. I haven't really been keeping tabs on them recently, so I didn't even notice if they switched up the wording again...

Honestly, I think every single pair of headphones out there should just end up playing Čavoglave.

So, I'm finally popping back up on KSET after forever... 😍

Or just some super weird remix of an old classic you can grab off a niche indie site.😁

I don't know what you picked, but I'm voting for
The 2nd Americana listening room

4. Matt vs Banderas listening room
Number 3 isn't even bad.

And let me know when this happens... so I can clear my schedule 😁 It feels like forever since I've been to KSET; things just haven't felt the same since Matt disappeared.

I’m casting my vote for independent list number 3.
CCC, does anyone else actually remember those Offside listening sessions at the Marsh? It was this perfect little hybrid of proposals 2 and 3—before they finally shut us down because the crowds were thinning out, mostly because people just weren't drinking enough.

Americana listening room - walkabouts, songs: ohia, bonnie prince billy, willard grant conspiracy, Neutral Milk Hotel, joanna newsom, devendra banhart, Calexico, giant sand, Neutral Milk Hotel, sparklehorse, wilco, Tom Waits, eels, iron & wine, Sufjan Stevens... a listening session perfect for both cowboys and indie kids. yeee - haw!

I’d definitely be down for this... 😬

He listed Neutral Milk Hotel twice... does that mean they're gonna play them more often? 😍

p.s. Is Poganj on Waits? On Calexico? On Sufjan Stevens? 🤔

The sheer power of the Wild West is unmistakable! 🙂

Man, just listen to the live version of Telephone Call from Istanbul and you'll see what I mean.🙂

Look, I can't swear to any specific posters right now, but I remember Marinov's sudden input on advice and those arguments with Lep. And considering when Marin stopped showing up at the club, we're talking a long time ago.

Dammit! 👋
Absolute nonsense! 👋

Yeah, exactly that. 😍

Neutral Milk Hotel 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

Aha, my bad, they actually scored a 10.0 on Pitchfork, man... Neutral Milk Hotel really rules 🙂 🙂 🙂

You don't exist to me anymore.

Oh, please—he’s just some artist 🙄

Yeah, honestly, it sounded pretty terrible to me. Time to go wash my ears out.

But honestly—sometimes those two are practically synonyms... 😉
