Come and Fuck

Maybe it was an invitation.

As for Fuck? I've never listened to their music, but if they have to resort to tactics like calling themselve "fuck," I can't imagine they're anything much to write home about.

Well, it is a compare and contrast. I suppose some Come is better than other Come and sure, even pre-Come qualifies.

Oh, Alex. Really, the name Fuck is actually great since naming one's band/project something that is bound to keep them from getting listened to is so wonderfully conterproductive it's a turn on right there.

Sure, you could sit around and contemplate what the fuck Fuck would sound like...and chances are all your ideas would be wrong. The songs are utterly beautiful and Fuck Motel is rapture in under 3 minutes. When my tv mini series is out, this will be the theme song. Fuck, it's the theme song they play when I enter the room now...

...or at least it's the tune I can't get out of my head today.

I've never listened to much of either, but Fuck.

What I like best is that they feel like they fill the whole of the sonic landscape, that I can feel the chords dripping out through my speakers. Another k-classic from the tail of indie-rock's heroic period.

Fuckin' SHAME on you, Sterl you girl!

i saw them play a few years later and they had some kinda wooden robot gadget on stage that i remember a lot better than any of their music. i think their albums came with 'fuck' crayons and balloons and other things too.

WATCH THAT!

There's something about the spiralling way those guitars scratched and clawed at each other that seems to me completely original and unduplicated. And maybe I caught Come on particularly good nights, but their gigs: transcendent.

I like Zedek's new solo stuff, as well, but I miss dem loud gueetars!!

(This is my first ILM post by the way. This place pretty much rocks).

I find these bands pretty difficult to compare, by the way. They're bands for completely different purposes. I mean, Fuck is music you might play at 4 in the afternoon. Come is more like 3 a.m.

puh-lease, this is CLEARLY a BurmaKitty incarnation.

Just remember, the more I talk about it generally means the less I am getting. I only have had two full length Fuck's (Pardon my French - Conduct) then there's some sampler. I seem to have plenty of Come though.

Flounder, I am truly honored and inspired that you introduced yourself in my bed, ...I mean thread. It almost makes it all worthwhile... the shame, public humiliation, electric bills, back owed taxes, excommunication from the church, etc.

...thank you! I need to make a new thread now because of you!

...now if I could just figure out which one...

Come or Fuck?

Shall I queue up for "In/Out" or just "Straddle"?

That picture of you in front of the WHEAT PASTE posters will have to get me through until then.

Have you checked your text message yet?

Fuck had a funny thing about celebrities on their website. Britnery Spears went to a Fuck show!

Wasn't it Arthur Johnson who had played for the BBQKs prior to joining Come?

Now if someone could just help clear up this nasty rash...

I also found a Prolapse cd

CDs
