I found the JAMC enjoyable ... need to listen to it more to absorb. The live show on this tour was just so much better than their last go-around too. The Slowdive really grabbed me effortlessly. Listened half a dozen times, and it's nice to have on vinyl too. I didn't care for the Ride at first listen, but I need to give it another go on a day where I'm not being constantly interrupted.

Thanks for this... besides Ride and Slowdive I didn't really catch much in the genre this year. As well...I kind of completely forgot about the Ride, and haven't listened to Slowdive nearly enough.

JAMC's Damage and Joy is a major omission probably. It's definitely better than the Ride. edit: oh lol, page 1 didn't load properly for me on my phone so I only saw the top 6. JAMC are still missing! On page 1, I've really enjoyed previous Airiel (check out The Battle of Sealand from ten years ago), but I'm queuing up all of these. And to think at the beginning of last week I was down to just 20 hours on my Spotify queue. drat end-of-year lists!! teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Dec 16, 2017 |

2018 is the year that Toronto is being skipped by like any alternative act I'd be interested in. A Place To Bury Strangers hurts too.

That new No Joy was quite the trip ... no song quite the same. It was very jarring at first, especially track 2, Dream Rats was perhaps the most aggressive-sounding thing they've done. The final track, Kidder, really stands out for me and is really evocative of Curve. It's almost like every song is inspired by a different band. Got a sense of like Stars, M83 on other tracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lxe-SajjSjI

I literally went out of my way to plug a Playstation 2 back in so I could listen to specifically my Curve CDs, after my PC with all my ripped albums died. They are an annoying omission from Spotify. Also lol ... I listen to SPC ECO on Bandcamp. Weirdly didn't occur to me to look up Curve.

In Canada we literally just get Gift on Spotify -- which I like ... but I want it all. Come Clean was my first, so I remember it fondly and it's what drove me to collect the rest.

That meme lead me to discover all their stuff was being reissued on Domino Records ... and it all 1. sold out immediately and 2. wasn't shipping to any of the Americas. So irritating ... there's obviously a huge pent up demand. (Some discovered they could get shipping to at least North America from the band's official site, but their quantities also sold out immediately.)

I saw No Joy last week and they were awesome. (Though weirdly using pre-recorded bass tracks as far as I could tell.) I missed this at release, but asked what it was at the merch booth. In the noise I could only hear "collaboration with Spaceman 3" and I did a "shut up and take my money". (Looking it up now, it's a collaboration with Peter Kember of Spaceman 3) Not disappointed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1D-MSEZKNs The whole EP is here: https://nojoy.bandcamp.com/album/no-joy-sonic-boom-2 The non-radio edit of Obsession is a bit excessive. The synth on it reminded me of Ulrich Schnauss actually. Was really excited to get Motherhood on vinyl too. Absolutely loved that album and it was a pleasant surprise in a new direction.

So I watched the movie. It was "better-than-fine" but I'd only recommend it to fans of Creation, and totally worth a watch in that case. I feel like it was really trying to be 24 Hour Party People at times, but perhaps to its detriment, it took less poetic license, and may have actually been more authentic? The problem is it's told a a series of vignettes. Some are great, some fall flat. Also it doesn't help that as this movie is being reasonably authentic, after some really great parts, it peters out on McGee's political career. Spoilers for the soundtrack on the case anyone prefers to be surprised. Most of the soundtrack was pretty good, and there are a LOT of tracks. Lots of Primal Scream especially, but I wonder if there were some weird licensing shenanigans going on, like only very bit MBV parts, and a couple tracks from Ride's Going Blank Again but nada from Nowhere. Countless bands were ignored, though Teenage Fanclub at least had posters and t-shirts in the movie. I was surprised that Slowdive was completely absent. I think the poster highlighted ... The Boo Radleys, but I didn't even notice them.

Ofecks posted:no Slowdive is disappointment Yeah 24 Hour Party People takes place in Madchester, and it's almost like a prequel to Creation. But the former is also a great movie where you don't have to be in the scene for to enjoy. I'm not 100% clear on it, but McGee at least was a major donor in Tony Blair's campaign and involved in it. He eventually disavowed the Labour Party and Blair. teethgrinder fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jan 22, 2022 |
