does anyone actually WANT an sy resurgence in 2020? i want the future

Stop trying to be so damned disagreeable all the time, its devolving toward empty schtick

This forum Will Live Forever...

This forum is the best when you're drunk. I read back when sober and think what a fucking literary genius I am when posting on here when wasted on oak barrelled matured for 20 years bourbon whiskey. It's true when they say alcohol sharpens the mind.

Man, you give NR a lot of crap. What's the deal exactly? His top 10 albums of 2015 didn't strike you as edgy or exciting enough? Your "list" was a pitchfork article! It named some damn good records, but it left out most of the best electronic music of the year. Hell, it wasn't even a list!

I like your posts, always have. But I think you have a definite tendency to be a snotty little shit about music, and that's such a stale schtick at this point.

(That said, if one more blog or zine thoughtlessly throws To Pimp a Butterfly at the top of the heap, I think I'm going to go into a coma.)

I don't know, everything is too scattershot.....it would be cool if their feedback/noise excursions were standard. mixed in with the latest sounds of the time. if only slightly popular in a modern way because only certain people can take that guitar sound without being annoyed. we don't realize that sometimes because we're use to it.

who knows....it would be pretty exciting to me if they did. clangy noisy ear disturbing guitar sounds making a comeback? im all for it. hell yeah!

I would absolutely love it if there was more high-quality, experimental, noisey ass feedback drenched post-punk coming out. In the past three years, there's only been a handful of truly memorable noise rock releases by new/newish artists (Black Bug, Dub Thompson, Viet Cong, Big Ups), and a even fewer real mindfuckers from established artists (Ben Frost, Fuck Buttons)...

I would love to hear more. I'd love for the next generation of sonic terrorists to carry guitars instead of, or in addition to synths and shit.

I hope we do get a resurgence of Sonic Youth-inspired bands, or bands inspired by bands inspired by Sonic Youth. Whatever. I'd welcome it with open arms.

Will someone please contact Schizophrenicroom? I have returned to write the sequel to Husker's on a Plane. It's story of drama, despair, friendship and Bob Mould!

Hey Stranger - did we miss the new Thunderbolt Pagoda release?

Nope.
It is mastered and tested, but before putting it out ourselves like the last 2, I thought maybe I would try and see if someone else was interested in releasing it for us.Just sent acetates to a couple select labels. If no one bites, we'll go ahead pretty soon.

I did break down and put the last one up for streaming/ DL on bandcamp.
The vinyl has been sold out forever, do what the hell...

Thanks for hanging in there all these years/bands.
