GVSB came up to mpls to record an album and they did a residency night for a while on wednesdays at this bar, it was super awesome they would play & have guests & dj and stuff, p cool

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:01 (nine years ago) link

i still f/w all that stuff though

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:02 (nine years ago) link

i cant really deal tho in theory some of it is still p cool

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:03 (nine years ago) link

i'm actually a gvsb fan, though i checked out after freak*on*ica. which is probably not as terrible as its rep but still kinda terrible.

i never listened to gvsb, i did jesus lizard, shellac, scratch acid, the band with the terrible name who had members of scratch acid and shellac

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:06 (nine years ago) link

I've probably seen Shellac the most of any band that I wasn't friends with

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:08 (nine years ago) link

i saw them at least a few times tho jesus lizard more i think, not sure who i saw most of all, maybe the melvins

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:10 (nine years ago) link

i love all those bands but never heard SFS. Remember Brainiac?

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:11 (nine years ago) link

I saw the jesus lizard once,was pretty great that 90's amerindie was my fave music back then

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link

what do we call this type of music

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link

fyi melvins were nominated in this poll and got zero votes, rip melvins

gr8080, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:12 (nine years ago) link

Brainiac was great

Great band out of that scene that is awesome but no one outside of Minneapolis or Albini & Cory Rusk love is Arcwelder

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:13 (nine years ago) link

indie is more insidious now tho, secret indie histories revealed itt, sad

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:14 (nine years ago) link

does silkworm fit in here somehow?

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:14 (nine years ago) link

Melvins are weird cuz the are partly this scene, partly Am Rep, and partly metal scene

was thinking that tho cldnt be sure, i def never uttered that word or heard anyone say it tho maybe i read it in a magazine

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link

Skwm were more trad & had some classic rock influences but are def core Albini posse members

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:15 (nine years ago) link

yah I think FE coined it? xp

brain floss mix (sleeve), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:16 (nine years ago) link

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:16 (nine years ago) link

It's crazy now they are like the Grateful Dead, dudes will pay crazy amounts for limited vinyl or small shows, they were charging like $100 for this thing where Buzzo bartender at Tom Hazelmeyer's bar

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:18 (nine years ago) link

haha wut

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:19 (nine years ago) link

Yeah wasn't even a show just a hangout

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:20 (nine years ago) link

oh early red red meat is part of this scene too I think. I'm not sure what the topic is right now though.

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:21 (nine years ago) link

remember being really proud i d'led this one brainiac album on napster

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:22 (nine years ago) link

Yeah it wasn't really a sound so much as some aesthetic I know instantly but can't articulate... Like Slint was a part too & they are way different

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:23 (nine years ago) link

just figured out that Toko Yasuda from the Brainiac spinoff band Enon is playing moog & guitar for St. Vincent

Darin, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:25 (nine years ago) link

it's so great that t&g stuff is on spotify, i am jamming some brainiac rn

call all destroyer, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:26 (nine years ago) link

when i hear 'indie rock' i think of a lot of that stuff in addition to the pavement gbv matador mid 90s indie rock but i guess they really arent related at all

ciderpress, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:27 (nine years ago) link

def strongly overlapping fanbases tho

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link

indie rock and indie in general was a lot of things not an actual 'sound'. You forget that sometimes in todays climate of all things 'indie'.

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:28 (nine years ago) link

xp
even if yes there was overlapping audiences at times. It was a far cry from 90s uk britpop or whatever you would label post millennium indie

Eric Burdon & War, On Drugs (Cosmic Slop), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:29 (nine years ago) link

yeah, that's why it strikes me as weird when people categorize Haim or whoever as being "indie'. It's as useful of a descriptor as "hipster".

Darin, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:29 (nine years ago) link

iirc the label that was involved also influenced that definition ;)

brain floss mix (sleeve), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

im interested in the hipster/indie divide i lived in new york so long i didnt know there were still indies left but then i visited portland and it was full of em i was like wow

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

I said upthread somewhere that indie to me just describes a demographic

Evan, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:31 (nine years ago) link

indies buy records, hipsters buy cassettes

brain floss mix (sleeve), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link

there's plenty of indies in the bullshit college town i live in now but scant dear hipstros

flopson, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:32 (nine years ago) link

sad

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:33 (nine years ago) link

the greatest trick the devil ever played was teaching indies to be sexy (hipsters)

lag∞n, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:34 (nine years ago) link

there's a class element to indie / hipster imo

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:35 (nine years ago) link

ur a class element

flopson, Friday, 30 January 2015 20:35 (nine years ago) link

i am it's true

languagelessness (mattresslessness), Friday, 30 January 2015 20:36 (nine years ago) link

it def requires less money to be indie than hipster
