| FartinMowler | Neko Case "Blacklisted" I just came back this evening after driving 27 hours from Florida and with my burned and bought CD's I kept going back to this album. I tried to listen to country music channels on the radio down south but nothing sounds as lovely as this girls voice and it does remind me of Portishead but with a twang. |

Let's do this after your compilation. And GSYBE have more in common with (as I hear it at least) Bartok string quartet pieces than a rock group. So, um... contemporary classical. The focus on dynamics sets them a bit apart from everything else (what do you people call mogwai, post rock?) but the basis behind the music still reminds me of some con. classical composers like Philip Glass. |

re: okay, i dig ya'. i have so much shit that i'll never try to type up what i have but i can take your requests, whether it be "give me everything by no neck blues band" or "give me a bunch of shit that sounds like a ceiling fan". i may be a bit slow 'cuz i've scheduled burning approximately 200 cdr's in the next three weeks (i'm putting out a compilation to be due by the end of the month), but i'll try to be as swift as i can. gybe don't seem very classical or rock to me. just because they use those instruments doesn't mean much. same way they're not a drone band just because they sometimes throw it about sometimes. |

| Helm | And that is because indeed GSYBE are more of a contemporary classical essemble than they are a rock band. Good thing your brain seems to understand it. |

| Helm | i'm on soulseek but I'm on dial-up so it would take a week for me to get or send a record (not that that's stopped me from getting a few albums off of it). So I guess for your benefit CD-Rs are a better deal. |

| crash0814 | I don't "get" GY!BE. To me, they kinda just seem like classical with guitars thrown in. |

re: do you have soulseek? my two names are stumblerunfall and stumblerunfall2. for some reason the pc my stumblerunfall2 name is used seems to have a firewall on it. i certainly didn't put one there, but a friend of mine says that i have one. when i get the time to actually give a damn i'll fix it. otherwise, cdr's are rad too. |

| Helm | Yes! I'm glad you liked. Say, would you like it if we traded a few burned CD-Rs or something? If I can make windows media player dump my ripped music list, you could pick whatever you might want. |

The 3rd and the Mortal are excelent. Painting on Glass is one of the better albums I discovered this year. Kayo Dot are amazing. Formerly Maudlin of the Well, who I still maintain are the best experimental metal has to offer. |

re: yep, and even my completely musically unaware friends who have gone to noise shows or heard noise records with me have no problem understanding that this is practically the opposite of pretention. |
| Mar 12th, 2004 04:48 PM | |
| Rez | i never really got the pretentious label(cept for GYBE, but thats obvious when that band tries to classify what music is "art" and what isnt)... its music people like making... |

re: i don't see anything i'd consider pretentious on the list, aside from godspeed (and what listening pile list doesn't include godspeed?). just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not obscure, and certainly not pretentious. it's just not the pixies, for once. |

 ok. (as soon as i read the first ppg, i knew it was iron mitch  )anyway. mine's not too obscure, and i like it that way for now. because even though i like daniel menche, mammal, and wolf eyes, squarepusher, air, and dizzee rascal are the only ones this year that got me excited about music itself, not just what it's doing, which is the case for a lot of experimental people. and fuck xiu xiu and deerhoof. |

re: if you like that godspeed album (which i think it's by far the worst thing they've done, which is way better than almost anything anyone else has done in years) then you should definitely get that silver mountain reveries album while you can... limited press and all. they are making leaps and bounds with this release, i fucking kid you not. |
