acephalousuniverse posted:This is a cool idea. I'm a big fan of the Greed/Holy Money era as well as a lot of the stuff collected on Various Failures. At one point this was my favorite band but I haven't listened to them much since they started getting Pitchfork popular in the last couple years. I've got the Cop/Young Cod CD. The liner notes own

Friends Are Evil posted:As for live albums, I really think that Public Castration Is A Good Idea should be put up as an optional album with Greed/Holy Money. The whole album's up on Youtube. It's loving vicious and it demonstrates just how intense Swans' live show was back in the day. Oh yeah, this would have to be my all-time favourite of theirs. Gets my vote for the coldest, most lifeless album ever made. I used to have a habit listen to it when grocery shopping, not sure why

LtKenFrankenstein posted:Rollins has gone on record saying that Swans were a huge influence on him. It was actually one of his spoken word bits where he talked about listening to Cop that introduced me to them way back when. Really? You wouldn't have a link handy, the image of Rollins blasting "NO ONE RAPES THEM LIKE A COP IN JAIL" is bumming me out

LtKenFrankenstein posted:I don't. It was on one of his early '90s spoken word sets probably, but I haven't gone back and listened to that stuff in a long time. He talks about being hassled by a cop while listening to that album. Rollins suffers from some kind of police anxiety too so I guess he enjoyed that loads

I didn't attend my self last time they played here but Gira turned off the aircon one hour before the show. Think i remember him saying somewhere that he wants to simulate the same enviroment as a slaveship or something by doing this.
