(and so do eyeball skeleton, actually -- maybe a LOT. but they are young and deserve more.)

ethiopians gots lots of love on ilx. esmerine = yet another godspeed sideproject = not so much love on ilx.

Actually, I've never seen any discussion about Et Sans on ILM!

Their album sounds like just another Montreal noise/improv unit, but then I saw them live and realized that they were in fact an 80's synth pop band that likes to wreak a bit of chaos.

Bizarrely, I do not own a single Godspeed album (and I've definitely listened to a few.) Go figure...

I've never seen that much love for Eyeball Skeleton. They were much better than the kids doing the Black Sabbath shtick in Rock School.

Stoney Edwards, don't know, but I do know Stoney Curtis!

Earthlings' disc on Man's Ruin was okay. One of the last ones before the label imploded, I think. Extol are okay, but why listen to them when you can listen to Opeth? And Ewigkeit I have just never gotten.

MiR, did you see Et Sans as just a duo, or since the recent addition of 3 more members?

Elmer Food Beat's main clame to fame (french lyrics):

Moi, ce que j'aime, chez Daniela,
C'est que l'on peut y mettre les doigts.
Elle est toujours d'accord
Pour me prêter son corps.

Moi, ce que j'aime, chez Daniela,
C'est que l'on peut s'y mettre à trois.
Elle est toujours d'accord
Pour battre des records.

Et dans la bouche de Daniela
Il y a toujours de la place
Pour les copains qui passent.

clame= cool typo

I saw the five-member group. I also haven't heard their first album yet (recorded as a duo).

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 24 November 2005 23:58 (twenty years ago)

I have an Ethiopians comp that's great, and Et Sans were really good when they opened for Black Dice in Detroit. But I still didn't pick up the album.

Stoney Edwards? Is he some kind of country singer, maybe he had a chapter in Peter Guralnick's Lost Highway?

Stoney Curtis? From The Flintstones?

I enjoyed Extol's The Blueprint Dives from earlier this year, and apparently they're Christian rock, according to this Encyclopedia of same I've got. If I remember correctly, the author seemed sort of bewildered at the prospect of Christian dark metal (is that what you'd call 'em?), but was positive all the same.

>Stoney Edwards? Is he some kind of country singer, maybe he had a chapter in Peter Guralnick's Lost Highway?<

Don't know about the Guralnik book, but yeah, a country singer -- a black country singer, in fact, who had some small hits in the early '70s and deserved more than he had.

― xhuxk, Friday, 25 November 2005 15:36 (twenty years ago)

I don't remember him being in Lost Highway, maybe in passing? But man he was good. Irish and American Indian in his Okie bloodline as well. He died in 1997 and never had the kind of hits Pride had but he was as good a singer, sometimes more interesting too. Search out "Hank and Lefty Raised My Country Soul," which is a classic single and on the Best Of that came out on Razor and Tie a few years back (a bargain: 20 songs for 10 bucks). Not an original stylist, but a bunch of good tunes, swinging, and has "Blackbird" which Chip Taylor wrote. Edwards didn't want to record it, as it drops the n word, but finally did, and it's pretty great.

Side note: I checked AMG for discography on Edwards and read the bio written by someone named Sandra Brennan. It reminded me of something, then I figured it out: Brennan's entry is just a condensed version of the Edwards entry in Barry McCloud's Definitive Country, a standard if flawed and out-dated resource. I know it's the internet and all, but is it standard procedure for AMG writers to flat-out plagiarize? Brennan barely changes McCloud's syntax in some places, and near as I can tell contributes nothing original of her own.

I'm probably the only person who cares, but it bugs me, as AMG, as bad as it can be, has become an authority. I don't think every entry needs an annotated bibliography, but still: ripping off another writer is just lazy and lame.

Essential Logic = awesome. I run a small mailing list named after one of their songs. Love almost all of their singles, and "Martian Man" is just sublime...

also: EYEBALL SKELETON EYEBALL SKELETON! Someday they are going to be really embarrassed by that album. And then a few years later they'll realize how cool they really were.

e.s.t are easily the best of the modern jazz piano trios that i've heard, closely followed by tord gustavsen.
