I just enjoy the cover art of Soundex Code, looks like it could fit into any number of eras. I'm gonna guess that record is late 50s or early 60s with out looking it up.

Also just so you know crock pot chili turns out better when you play vinyl records while preparing it. This is scientific fact and I won't hear otherwise. :colbert:

Worst snipe on ugliest page, here's a vain attempt to make it better:

Are there any post punk peeps in this thread? I skimmed through discogs latest clickbait article on what the best selling albums so far of 2021 were and was surprised to see that Molchat Doma were on it for their reissue of Etazhi. Of course if you want it on vinyl you'll have to get it from Sacred Bones.

I have a hard time getting into post punk myself, but I figured others here would like it. I do like one of Molchat Doma's "peppier" songs, Discoteque off of their latest album.

I just checked those out actually and I would describe this more as new wave than post punk, but the lines can get pretty blurry. It reminds me quite a bit of New Order.

This album rules and feels like the perfect example of being both post punk and new wave.

Yeah, I probably should have picked the new wave or synth labels that also get bandied about in regards to Molchat Doma. What's hilariously aggravating is that if you google "what genre is Molchat Doma" it spits up alternative/indie aka the way too broad genre label for everybody who's not rock, pop, or country.

However that song you linked, that I like very much, thank you!

I think post-punk and new wave meet just about at the corner of coldwave and darkwave with a shortcut from minimal wave alley, which happens to be pretty much my neighborhood.

Some names that spring to mind immediately are Martin Dupont, Martial Canterel, John Maus¹ and, a bit friendlier, Motorama and no I don't know what it is with that broad genre and names with M

_{¹yes, yes; look you can't talk about early 80s Manchester indie without mentioning Morrissey, either}

I'm pretty big on post-punk but thus far it's just all the old poo poo. I probably like a bunch of modern post-punk bands but all that comes to mind right now is Pop. 1280. They're also on Sacred Bones. I'd recommend them.

Devo is a pretty good example of the punk to post punk to new wave pipeline.

I love post-punk but I feel like the problem is it thrives on minimalism which becomes a bit restrictive

Once Gang of Four and Wire perfected it where's there to go? Like, Protomartyr whips but it's nothing new

New wave.

Listen to new wave and compare to post punk, and it builds on the post punk.

the most interesting post punk bands of the last ten years or so are either:

(a) coming from a background, both musically and lyrically, beyond just straight white british/american dudes
(b) adding really interesting textures and layers to the sound rather than sticking with generic angular guitar and bass riffs
(c) are just really really good at writing hooks so you ignore that it definitely could have come from 1981

tbf i feel like "post punk as a genre" kinda encompasses like... all pre-mtv new wave/synthpop? like the first four omd albums are more like joy division than duran duran

otherwise, "post punk" does become an incredibly narrow genre with an arbitrarily limited palette

The Flesh Eaters record is another example where you can pick any band off the Return of the Living Dead soundtrack and strike gold.

Pollex Christi was eventually revealed to be the first Hardy Fox solo recording credited to The Residents that only had a one-off pressing of 400 CDs in the early '90s, which of course has a fun hook:

quote:

Pollex Christi ("The Big Toe [or Thumb] of Christ") is a work by the mysterious N. Senada, which had never been recorded until The Residents created this album. It is one of Senada's "blueprints" and was created around 1936-37, just before he fled Germany for northern Canada.

A "blueprint" is a set of instructions on how to construct the piece out of existing works. Essentially, Senada steals bits from famous German composers and have the performers assemble them into a "house of bricks", much as some of the composers being plagiarized used existing folk music to build their own works on. The difference is that not one note of Senada's composition is original.

N.Senada's blueprints often had "holes" in them, meant to be filled with whatever the performers felt should go in. His reasoning, based on his "house" metaphor, was that the people should contribute to the construction of their homes. In this recording, The Residents fill the three holes with famous television theme songs. In part 1, they use the theme form Peter Gunn. Later, they use the original Star Trek theme and the Popeye the Sailor Man song.

Had to pick it up on Discogs, it was sold out by the time you posted that sale. I had looked it up a week prior, too. It was still in stock, but I was in-between paychecks.

Nice. My 2003 Plain Recordings copy of Loveless is kinda scratched and doesn't really sound that great but I'm not sure if it's bad enough to want to replace it with a new ~$30+ copy.

I have the same pressing, mine came a bit warped. It just added to the aesthetic.
