THIS WILL DESTROY YOU, postrock, and 2008 in general

[Indifferent Clox]

Rather than make several posts I decided to post a bunch of different shit in one thread.

OMG everyone who enjoys mogwai, explosions in the sky, sigur ros, post rock in general needs to listen to this band.


It's one of my favorites of those released in 2008 so far...

among other 2008 releases I love are:
Times New Viking
Vampire Weekend
Evangelicals
High Places
The Field's new EP
Lykke Li
Nada Surf
Blood on The Wall
and Drive By Truckers

You guys heard of them?

Other good post rock I've been listening to as of late:

God is an Astronaut
Do Make Say Think
Godspeed You Black Emporer
Mum (pronounced moom)
Red Sparowes

[Indifferent Clox]

I really liked Inside of Love off of that album as well

[El Fangel]

I agree

[ron the dial]

I really liked Outside of Love off of that album as well
inside of love and it was off of let go, not high/low.

[FakeLaser]

I like a lot of this stuff, yes.

[Blitz]

Post rock is probably the stupidest genre name out there.

[The Destroyer]

Post rock is probably the stupidest genre name out there.
I think "post-metal" is worse, personally.

[Kane Knight]

Post rock is <s>probably</s> the stupidest genre name out there.

Most post-rock doesn't even sound alike.


It's just a catch all, head-up-your-ass this-shit-needs-a-genre-desperately name for overindulging in soft instrumentals and wanting a pat on the back for it.

[The Destroyer]

It's a bit of a dumping ground, really.

Which isn't to say all the stuff that gets dumped in there is bad or anything, just that a lot of the bands are very, very samey.

[Kane Knight]

Is Pink Floyd Post Rock?

[The Destroyer]

They were the innovators. :shifty:

[Indifferent Clox]

inside of love and it was off of let go, not high/low.

I know. I was sleepy lol

[Indifferent Clox]

Post rock is more sound based and basically classical composition with traditional rock instruments, various ambient effects, with limited emphasis on vocals. Usually containing songs longer than 6 minutes, although there have been notable exceptions of this.

All the bands I've listed as post rock with the possible exception of sigur ros are very similiar in sound.

You know, if you had taken some music theory, you wouldn't say stupid shit like this.

[FakeLaser]

I'm really feelin some Baroque Avant-post-emo-skatepunk-grungabilly-breakbeat-garde Canterbury Scene-psychedelic death thrash-pre-algebra myself

[Kane Knight]

:love: RZA :D

[Kane Knight]

Can I use that when I put out an album?

[FakeLaser]

I was merely trying to place your album into a genre, so of course.

[Kane Knight]

Sweet. :D

I used to use Folk-Core until I learned Tenacious D had done the same. Motherfuckers. :mad:

[Blitz]

I love zeuhl. There's a genre that doesn't get much respect.

[St. Jimmy]

You forgot Industrial-Jungle-Pussy-Punk.

[St. Jimmy]

Also how the fuck is Ska not it's own genre?

[Kane Knight]

You know, with all the people picking on Clox, he's gonna end up blocking like 90% of TPWW. :D

[Bad Company]

I have never heard of any of those bands.

[Kane Knight]

Don't you read Pitchfork, BC? They tell me what to think!

[Bad Company]

Pitchfork? Now I am confused.

[Kane Knight]

Pitchfork? Now I am confused.

It's a website that tells me what to think about music.

[Bad Company]

You know, with a name like pitchfork I expect to be hearing Moonshine bottles and washing boards.

[Kane Knight]

I think it's called "Pitchfork" because of the hardon they have for musicians who sound like they've had a pitchfork up their ass.

[Indifferent Clox]

None of those post rock bands are in pitchfork... why is bad company mentioning pitchfork?

[Kane Knight]

None of those post rock bands are in pitchfork... why is bad company mentioning pitchfork?

I know he has me on ignore...Well, I know he claims he does, but Clox can't possibly be so stupid he can't fill in the blanks in terms of context, can he?

[Bad Company]

Clox needs to chill cause he's way out of his depth here.

[Kane Knight]

None of those post rock bands are in pitchfork... why is bad company mentioning pitchfork?

So...I went to pitchfork, and typed in the first name on his "Post Rock" list, and found a review for their new record. This begs the question: How fucking stupid is Clox?

That's pretty much true of everywhere Clox goes.

A whole new style, 'poststupid' perhaps?

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, he uses traditional stupid in a more classical style.

[Indifferent Clox]

Well I didn't know they were on there, but if they are if it is it's because it's the newest post rock album.

[Kane Knight]

LOL. You lied, just admit it.

[Kane Knight]

By the way, Clox gets pretty whiny when you call him a liar. Even when he's guilty of lying. I told him the best solution was simply not to lie; I guess he doesn't learn.
