Quote from: Pentagrimes on May 25, 2026, 11:10:28 PMWhy sugar coat anything? I just don't have time for shit music and I dont care about bands who run on"vibes" (apart from bad ones, obviously) :laugh: . What I think doesn't matter anyway in the grand scheme of things, tis just my experience of them.

Incidentally,  it was them opening for Katie Kim.

Absolutely! I just find it good craic.

Give me recommendations for bad vibes bands though, always want more of that

:laugh: I do really enjoy that you never sugarcoat it  :abbath:

Totally depends when/where you encountered them I guess, they tend to run fairly different lineups and sets, some work better than others.  Or if it's just the entire vibe of the band fucks you off, can't argue with that  :laugh:

Yeah I'm a huge fan of her solo stuff, that album she put out, Pyrrhic, was may favourite that year I think and gets fairly regular listens. Cracking live band as well. Hoping she has another in the works. There's another member in this band who I'd apply that to as well, her other bands Ana Palindrome and Trá Pháidín I'd definitely rate more.

That said, I'm enjoying this much more than I did when they started, really didn't think they sounded of much beyond a linear jam but they've grown on me. And it's a pretty recording, lol

Katie Kim is actually playing at The Conncert near Ballina in August so hopefully that's her starting up the solo stuff more again rather than a one-off

Picked up the pôt-pôt album at the gig they played last night in Cork (very fun)

It's not reinventing the wheel by any stretch, the sticker on the cover states FFO Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacemen 3, Spiritualized, Velvet Underground, and that's about right. It's a very nice listen on the turntable for a Sunday morning in this weather

Quote from: Naraka on May 18, 2026, 06:16:17 PMNeil Young - On the Beach. Possibly my favourite Neil Young album, although that changes weekly.

It's prob between that and Rust Never Sleeps for me. Though he does have 6 or 7 contenders...

Well thanks for reminding me to give this a spin again

Quote from: ochoill on May 16, 2026, 01:58:53 PMRe.  Wire - I also only know "Pink Flag" but must try out some other albums.  Enjoy it a lot.

Some non-metal highlights lately:

Boards of Canada - "Geogaddi"
Nothing to say here, love it, just rotating this and Tomorrow's Harvest still.

Aphex Twin - "Druqks"
Again nothing to add, love it, know it inside out, just back in rotation lately.  Savage album.

Fixity - "Assurance"
This is class.  Only know one other Fixity album and love it but saw this appear on Bandcamp and chucked it on.  Quick and tidy jazz, surely mostly improv by the sounds of it, plentygoing on but anyway it is great.

Listen to all Fixity's stuff, it'll be time well spent. Those who know know, but I think Fixity/Dan Walsh may be the most underrated/appreciated musician in the country, just consistently class. I was at the album launch for this in Cork and it was excellent, they had a string section so the stage was pretty packed.

I'd say Assurance is somewhat less improv than some of the earlier stuff, but that's definitely a big part of the Fixity project, the lineup is pretty fluid. This album (The Things In The Room) was done over in Malmö with 3 Swedish musicians and it's pretty much all improv around a few central ideas. It's one of my favourite albums of all time I think.

Muuntautuja by Oranssi Pazuzu.

Revisiting this for the first time in a while, had it on repeat for a good while after they released it before giving it a break. It holds up so well, no weak moment on it for me.

Came across this and it pisses me off that they are not, in fact, from Waterford. Very misleading

Quote from: Eoin McLove on April 13, 2026, 09:07:28 AMI wonder how that will go down with the Christian right. You'd imagine they'd be disgusted and outraged, but these days all bets are off.

Sure he's already done plenty blasphemous things, remember that craic with the bible in the White House garden?

I'd expect no fallout over this, insane as it is.

You cannot tax break your way out of 20% of the world's supply being taken offline, it's going to cost more, simple as that.

I don't see what extra is being achieved by forcing a fuel panic (it's tailed back 500m from the petrol station up the road from my gaff all evening) that couldn't have been achieved by a work stoppage - they are after all as they claim, bringing food and other essentials to the table. Is that not enough leverage? Why the fuck ensure no one else has fuel? Which everyone else is paying more for also?

Of course it will need government intervention to keep delivery infrastructure alive and I do respect them for standing up for their livelihood and trying to get the government to the table from their break during an obvious crisis period, but that's where it ends because I don't see any proper thought on display here that acknowledges the reality that it's just a massive US-Israeli fuckup that has changed material conditions. They can't work for free, they're going to have to charge more, and it's going to affect every single thing.

There's nothing we can do about that simple fact with out current setup of chasing the biggest margins through cheapest and quickest energy source. There is no magic button to press here and I'm not seeing anyone at all even attempt to drive that point home. That's why I don't really support the protests, because it's fundamentally fucking thick. The oil shock hasn't even hit properly yet either, but again, I don't see anyone discussing that seriously, just more hoping for business as usual.

The clientele is getting increasingly "left" shall we say and by the looks of it the acts are as well .



I want to be as cool as you when I grow up!
