One of my all time favs....

This album feels innovative even today. One of the all-time best to do it.

Defragmentism Project by Robert Ritchiesse (feat. Steve Hunt, Morgan Ågren, Mattias IA Eklundh, Kai Ritchiesse)


Instrumental Fusion. Never heard of the dude before today and he doesn't seem to have been mentioned on SSO, despite playing an 11string(!) with a trem(!) since the late nineties.

you just put me on

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

Yeah, this is my favourite band in the world right now.

I keep meaning to listen to this band. For years now. Where do I start- here or something else?

Start with any of them. They area all good. Sound Awake would be my first choice.

I walked to the record store when I was a kid with like $10 of my dad's money that I hustled off him to buy a The Who cd because I wanted Tommy, but when I got there, the guy who owned it was playing Say It Ain't So and at that point I think the blue album had been out for a couple years because I think it was 1996 I want to say, and it was immediately stuck in my head, so I bought Weezer's blue album and went home with it. My dad was like wtf is this shit and he was pissed I didn't get what I told him I was going to get (he was a classic rock and jazz guy) but I listened to the heck out of it. Never listened to any weezer after that album with the exception of Hash Pipe which was catchy but this popped up on youtube yesterday and man time flies. The guitar tone on this live set sounds so fucking good, I love their distortion.

Japan seems to exist in only one of two possible states:

- Extremely formal and polite.
- Otoboke Beaver.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

ngl I thought this would be a slam band with a name like Girthquake lol

 

[Sermo Lupi]

I've been on a big King's X and Alice in Chains kick in recent weeks. Could any of you make some recommendations for similar bands/albums while I'm in the current mood?

As an aside, AiC's later albums, particularly Black Gives Way to Blue and The Devil Put the Dinosaurs Here, are some of their best work if you usually listen to their earlier stuff. Great production, too. Could gush about King's X as well, of course. Ty Tabor, man...what a master of the riff.

Kyoto is a beautiful city. Combine the rich history and grandeur with four insane local ladies with equal love of Minor Threat and Melt Banana (and a drummer with grindcore chops) and you have a winning combination.



Those cringe comments in that vid... they're real.

Also their Tiny Desk concert rules.

Drain STH is basically an all female version of Alice In Chains.

As for King’s X, I always thought that I can hear a pretty strong influence in Freak Kitchen’s first few albums.

Yeah, some of the songs sound a lot like the early, more experimental Napalm Death or even like John Zorn’s Naked City.
