Someone post their best deep cut

[Jorge]

Yeah, "The Decline" is obviously their most impressive song. I always really loved an old outtake of theirs called "We Threw Gasoline on the Fire and Now We Have Stumps for Arms and No Eyebrows." But if you're allergic to the 90s skate-punk sound you're not gonna like either of them. "Gasoline on the Fire" especially is pure buttfuck-tittyfuck power-chord pop-punk

im not convinced that Fat Mike fully understands Plato's allegory of the cave

I started the day with The Decline, which I always enjoy, and listened through most of what I had in my collection.

Lot of coke mentioned but no Cokie. Really great read and it is something to hear it right from them.

I fell off listening with Pump Up the Valuum but I may give the subsequent albums a listen now that it's on my mind.

Gotta say I did not have an inkling to seek out anything new.

The last album of theirs I was super into was Heavy Petting Zoo. Valuum had some cool songs but was quite patchy overall. I stopped caring after that.

And yeah, Fat Mike seems like a d bag. I will always remember the story he told about his room mate hanging himself and he and his other buddy picking through his record collection before even alerting anyone.

I recall that but did it actually happen?

I will always remember him faking an audience that they drank his piss... aside from the music of course.

Fat Mike seems like an unbearable guy to play in a band with.

I was actually laughing my ass off reading that because I was in an almost identical situation.

The main difference is that I was smart enough to quit the band and block the Aaron Hernandez/Roseanne/Captain Beefheart figure as soon as the "I'm the leader of this here band now and I'll write incoherent fragments and you'll do all the work making them good songs and then I'll be unsatisfied and blame you for ruining my music" thing and the obnoxious paranoia about covid and the embarrassing PR incidents and the phone calls and abusive texts at the 3 in the morning started to become a thing. Other band members make excuses, but they'll learn their lesson after you're gone. Sure, your name will be removed from the album credits even though you did 90% of the work, but you won't want them on there anyway. So it's a big win.

whatever happened to Die Antwoord? Remember when they were a thing for ten seconds?

[Ello Sailor]

I liked their tunes and their music videos were bonkers. Weren't they canceled for being shitty people? I vaguely recall something like that going down.

[LoathedVermin72]

Yeah they're still around but there was a ton of really damning stuff that came out about them, such as this: https://consequence.net/2022/04/die-ant ... loitation/

And this: https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/zheani-die-antwoord-ninja/

Too bad, I really liked them.

There's this amazing Irish bar in my neighborhood. We popped in last night for a pint. While we were there a woman came in and pulled the bartender aside to speak privately. Of course we were at the end of the bar where they talked.

The woman said she was working for a band that was playing the Paramount theatre that night, the band were from Dublin, and they wanted to come into the bar after the show, but she wanted to make sure that was cool with the bar.

That band was Fontaines DC

Pretty rad that they had the courtesy to ask the bar before just descending in the place. Cuz it ain't a big spot. Made me like the band even more.

[Ello Sailor]

You didn't like them before? Get a load of this poseur!

I'm ready for a Phoebe Bridgers solo record. Can someone please forward this message to her.

[Ello Sailor]

Maybe next time Jorge slips her some molly he can pass it on.
