Best Track On Rodan - Rusty ?

Think I'll go with The Everyday World of Bodies

Shiner for me - a Touch and Go great...

I was tempted to vote Shiner at 1st. But I listened to the album again and made my choice.

they had a song besides "the everyday world of bodies"? huh.

I think that to a certain extent, the album's reputation is solely due to "EWOB." I like "Shiner," too, but I don't think this album is quite so well remembered if it'd been released without "Everyday World of Bodies."

If anyone were laying odds at ilxor on poll results, I'd take 1:3 on the long song.

Actually, now that I think of it, my second favorite track from these people might be "Darjeeling."

lovelovelove this album.

Bible Silver Corner started off a few mix tapes, back in the high school days.

A bit late here. But did a search on Rodan- after just getting a hat trick with their 12 minute winner ^^^

Slint was in there being from Louisville and all, but these truckers took it further.

Anybody else see them at Duchess (RIP)?

man. hadn't thought of this one in forever. buying it was a real moment for me - it sounded so different and apart at the time, and it felt alien to me but also like it was part of something growing & vital. I didn't know anything about the scene in Louisville or anything - it just sounded like some really focused effort from way out somewhere. Haven't heard it since '95 I think.

Anybody else see them at Duchess (RIP)?

The Duchess of York? I saw them on the same tour in Brighton with Eggs and Tsunami and maybe someone else if I'm not misremembering things. Really fine band to see live. Album reminds me a bit of earlier Unrest, that same mix of gentle meets bent rage going on.

Anyone remember the UK band Gauge who I guess were named after the Rodan song? They were around at about the same time as Navigator and stuff like that. Solid band.

Same tour!
- thanks for reminding me of those wonderful support bands too.
I was familiar w Tsunami but Eggs were an added bonus

how did i miss this band? it's kinda like slint but better.

lol i should listen to more than the first song, though i guess tweez slint isn't that far off

I was thinking of Rodan when reading the Emo thread / Braid vs Promise Ring vs Get Up Kids thread. I hadn't / haven't listened to any of those emo albums and thought a lot while reading them about the alternate version of age 17-22 when it was instead about Polvo, Rodan, June of 44, Eric's Trip

Anyway this album is the best thing

it is. spent a lot of late 90s looking for this. getting napster in 2000 was so goooooooooood

now i'm listening to "a taste for bitters" by chokebore

always liked them more than slint

good record. they were cool. saw them live in the back of a coffee shop in Columbia MO playing with the Grifters.
