Sugar - ‘Tilted’ (edit) and ‘JC Auto’ (live)
vinyl rip, 9:59.
Copper Blue is their great album. Beaster (which these songs are from) is the one you turn up LOUD and makes you want to play guitar.
exactly. File Under: Easy Listening is good too, but it isn’t a patch on these two.

Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand In Mine
good night.
don’t listen to much EITS but I love this track because of its use on Friday Night Lights (the film and, in an adapted form, the TV show).

This is the kinda photograph I’d describe as intensely meaningful without being able to illustrate its actual meaning.
I remember seeing this cover at 15 or 16 and thinking, in that same way one once would have looked at an astronaut, accountant or cowboy as a career goal and thinking, “Yes, that.” It certainly seemed simple and plausible enough. Write 4 or 5 unimpeachable classics (“They don’t have that many chords in them!”), say what you feel in a simple, true way so the girl will love you, find gritty snow, take a slightly under-dressed walk during which warmth and affection end up working as the same thing. I don’t know if there’s a meaning to any of it, but what I do know is that there’s some incandescent feeling on the other side of it that I’ll probably never quite have the intellectual tools to cut myself away from and will probably die craving.
I got into Dylan through Highway 61/Blonde on Blonde/Blood On The Tracks, and (probably about the same age) someone recommended Freewheelin’ to me, at the same time that I first heard Fugazi’s Repeater. Since then I’ve always preferred the early stuff.
Woods- “Blood Dries Darker”
Woods/Pitchfork.tv/Ray Concepcion live video a-rb. (there only seems to be two, though, this one and ‘Rain On’)
also, Velvet Underground comparisons on that guitar wig-out.
Life Without Buildings - ‘Sorrow’ (Any Other City, 2001)
like an even more minimalist Velvet Underground (especially ‘Sunday Morning’) except Sue Tompkins is both Lou Reed and Nico, and that troublemaker John Cale isn’t around (okay, I like the drone stuff, but the laid-back feel of the latter two VU albums with Doug Yule is - almost - equally sublime)
also, “eyes like lotus leaves, no not even like” is possibly my favourite line of theirs, in that it’s an energetic, skipping alliteration and a profound quasi-Buddhist truth.
no, not even like.

Why aren’t there more bands right now that do the blender-core thing (i.e. every kind of heavy music at once/in rapidfire succession + postrock compositional sense)? I mean, on an album-level it’s a lot of birthday to consume at once, but it still feels like a genre that’s pretty perfectly suited to the modern condition. CTTS need to finish their next record, because we need more conceptually adventurous bands with the chops to make screaming bloody murder into something uniquely sublime.
Also, recs on bands currently mining this territory are more than invited.
I want to know the answer to this, too. preferably in the form of one single, shining band that is an exemplar of hope, rather than a series of recommendations I have to track down, but that’s just me being picky.
