stockholm cindy is in your extended network (Jody Beth Rosen), Sunday, 13 November 2005 21:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i liked it for the three years i was there for school, but i don't know if i could live there. the music scene was pretty lousy, limited to mostly jam bands and horrible touring acts (the biggest concerts while i was there were blues traveler and rusted root), although I'm sure Johnny Down does some hometown shows here and there. pretty good cinema scene, though, between the arthouse theaters and Cornell Cinema. Tons of bars, but also a pretty lame white baseball cap-centric social scene. The record stores are (or were) horrible: Sam Goody at the mall, a couple of overpriced and limited-selection stores by Cornell, with the best being the used records they sold in the basement of Autumn Leaves, which is a bookstore on the commons.

But it's a generally liberal city, there's lots of wine-tasting to be done around the area, decent restaurants, the geography of the finger lakes region is really beautiful, and it's a safe place to live. i do think it's a better place to go to school than to live permanently, though.

i just remember everything there being really expensive. like there wasn't much for non-rich kids to do except drink coffee. and if you venture out into the surrounding piss-poor towns (hello upstate!) there's even less to do if you're not an alcoholic or a methhead.

i took a sociology class in which one of the main points of discussion was the division--economically--between Ithaca (which was definitely really rich and white) and the surrounding towns, even the ones just a few miles up either side of the lake. discus.

i had an apartment there my senior year, right over this pizza place called Gino's, near the commons. it wasn't that pricey, considering, but i was still probably paying too much.

ELP - Tarkus

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 17 November 2005 02:40 (nineteen years ago) link

I got Groundhogs - Split. Good stuff. Are the other albums worth getting too?

walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 17 November 2005 02:43 (nineteen years ago) link

One might call Tarkus, by the way ...

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 17 November 2005 02:44 (nineteen years ago) link

... a bro record.

Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Thursday, 17 November 2005 02:45 (nineteen years ago) link

haha I recently got Tarkus at the FMU record fair for $2. The guy was surprised I bought it. First track owns, major chops. The drumming is great.

noizem duke (noize duke), Thursday, 17 November 2005 06:48 (nineteen years ago) link

A lot of the other Groundhogs albums are well worth getting, especialy the ones that came out on UA, w/the mcphee/cruikshank/pustelnik lineup. I think "Split" is the best one of these, and I can very vaugely remember them doing "cherry red" on top of the pops when I was a kid.

the best one overall is the double "hoggin' the stage" which came out in the early '80's. It's fucking rocking/heavy/noisy/relentless.

I've been listening to Black Sabbath quite a bit recently.

scott seward (scott seward), Thursday, 17 November 2005 15:33 (nineteen years ago) link

today i am listening to the tapes i got at the thrift store. i have never heard any of them.

Descendents - all (i think the last Descendents album i bought in the 80's was Enjoy.)

Another Shot For Bracken - V/A (FOD, Scream, Short Dogs Grow, Dissonance, Verbal Assault, Entirely Distorted, The Brigade, Outcry, White Flag, 7 Seconds, 5 Balls Of Power, AOD, Scram, Care Unit, YOT, Action Figure, The Sins)

PIL - LIve In Tokyo

The Proletariat - Indifference

SNFU - If You Swear, You'll Catch No Fish

D.O.A. - True Strong & Free

PIL - This Is What You Want...This Is What You Get

(actually, two tapes i got i have heard. TSOL's Change Today and a Combat reissue of the first DRI album which I still have on vinyl. Now I can listen to it handily in the car. They had that even later TSOL album on tape too, but I didn't get it. When they were all hard rock.)

God, I still remember how sad I was when I heard that Brigade album when it came out. That Youth Brigade album was my fucking bible or something in 1984. New Wind by 7 Seconds didn't make me that sad.
