[the ikara cult]

Taken a while, but what ive heard (Todays active lifestyles and Celebrate the new dark age) is really really bloody good.
But yeah, i never see their CDs for sale so i had to download what with being short on funds and somewhat distrustful of internet buying. They really should reissue their stuff, alot of what ive heard is a bit like Modest Mouse only with a million times more nuance and imagination. Im sure theres a real audience for them out there now.

[Rob Instigator]

they fucking rule all.

I got the crawfish down
I guess I slept all day just so i could be awake right now
I'm flying south with a running start from the roof of my house
you've got to see it
to believe it
go get your camera, and perceive it

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

I just recently got into them. I stole my sister's copy of Exploded Drawing. Since then I've listened to Shapes and Todays Actice Lifestyles.

So fucking good.

[ricechex]

I was hardcore into them for a while back in the mid 90's!!.. jesus christ... But since then i play them sparingly, b/c the continual stop/starts and breakdowns can wear you down. That's just me. But yeah, excellent stuff..

[atsonicpark]

hah why do you think i made that classics album thread last week? because they're classic!

anyway...

1. celebrate
2. today's
3. this eclipse
4. cor-crane
5. exploded
6. polvo ep
7. shapes

Anyway, they're amazing ,though Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 basically do the same thing a lot better.

blasphemer!

[atsonicpark]

nah, it's not blasphemy, polvo, thinking fellers, and boredoms are my all time favorite bands.

but thinking fellers delivered 8 or 9 consistent albums with not a single bad song (please excuse the filler), whereas polvo.. well, exploded drawing is pretty good, but shapes? ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

anyway, i've probably said this before, but all scissor shock songs are in ash bowie's tuning for today's active lifestyles.

[atsonicpark]

"my kimono" is so beautiful...
tune to B, F#, F#, E, B, B...

hmm the sonic youth board made that a bit unreadable but you can copy it to notepad and it should look okay.

[Rob Instigator]

my kimono is GORGEOUS

[the ikara cult]

Yeah My Kimono is my favourite, probably the best piece of instrumental music ive ever heard. Its only a couple of minutes as well, i wish it would go on and on. GORGEOUS indeed.

[atsonicpark]

it honestly makes me want to stop playing guitar. it's so great.

this band was the masters of the whammy bar. more so than mbv. i played today's active lifestyles for a friend and he said "they sound like they're going out of tune but doing it beautifully." and i said, "they are!" (since whammy bar abuse makes you go out of tune...) heh.

their best music in my opinion is the end of the fucking stinger.

[Everyneurotic]

no shit, sherlock.

awesome awesome band.

[atsonicpark]

yeah, no one listens to me. i'm suspecting a "whoa hold the phone -- deftones are GREAT!" thread soon.

[king_buzzo]

all curled up just like a scare that a candle lit
all prepared to take the high chair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!


vibracobra>all polvo songs.

I dont know, i just love it.

[king_buzzo]

so come on and put your cards in
maybe on the second try you'll win


i love this polvo lyric as well.

[atsonicpark]

when you asked me what was on my mind and said that you could keep it to yourself you lied cause i've got the feeling you can't i told you things i should have kept inside and i know it's my fault cause i opened up the vault but i will never think of you the same

i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness
i want to touch you with the feather of forgiveness
i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes
i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness

when you asked me what was on my mind well i thought that i was talking to a friend of mine but i get the feeling that you're not something strange is gonna come your way and i don't want to sound like a paranoid clown but i will never think of you the same

i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness
i want to touch you with the feather of forgiveness
i want to wash you in a river of forgiveness
i want to wrap you in the fabric of forgiveness

i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes

i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes

i want to put you in a light that will hurt your eyes


i want to cover you with flowers of forgiveness

I'll come quietly man, please don't use the performance art mace!!!!

[SpectralJulianIsNotDead]

I couldn't get that stumbling intro guitar part to thermal treasure out of my head today.

[atsonicpark]

yeah, i like when he steps on the flanger or whatever for about 1.5 seconds.
