I’d thoroughly recommend the p4k documentary mentioned above, it was quite instrumental in teaching me just how good LCW is

It’s shorter than the album itself lol

Not really my type of thing, if I was in the mood id probably go for some Sparklehorse or even Elliott so never given them much of a chance. They do seem a bit genetic Midwestern flannel shirt to me though. Abstain.

will deffo do that over the next week. music is weird and Im fallible. Im sure if i had a mate who banged on about them and i heard them more via osmosis id probably like them. sometimes ill go back to an artist/album Ive written off and love it, or go the other way and wonder what on earth i was thinking :laughing:

I’d also remove:

Shit in Your Cut - turgid

Sugar Boats - too jaunty/makes me imagine Isaac Brock as a comedy pirate with Nerds falling out his mouth

Be Brave - Be Boring

Of Course We Know - bit dull/wishy washy

20 minutes gone and now a punchy 35 minute album that doesn’t outstay its welcome:

Can’t imagine Modest Mouse ever doing this tbh, they’d probably class that as an EP!

Ah man I like Sugar Boats and Be Brave.
But aye the album being 14 tracks (of which Pistol is one) and nearly an hour long is a bit much. The last few tracks kind of Blur around the edges for me.

Eric Judy was a really great bass player wasn’t he? Very distinctive style, underrated imo. Shame he’s left and been replaced by some guy in a big hat

one of the best rhythm sections around, get overshadowed since MM are so clearly Isaac’s project but in every live vid I’ve seen from the old days they stand out. There’s so many cool little drum bits that still take me by surprise to this day

Best band Johnny Marr’s ever been in.

This is probably why they don’t buck the trend as much as I think really. Great drums allow me to live with an annoying vocal for the most part…

Weirdly never seen them live, I should resolve that if the world ever gets back to normal

Big hats + coachella = :roll_eyes::grimacing:

Trying to remember if he was wearing it at the Helix last time they were over.

It does have a proper ending feel with the droning synth and weary repetition.

So many great turns of phrase on the record, and I think Isaac has a real gift for pulling together dark humour and surrealist imagery. These are a couple of favourites- I love the gleeful nihilism of the first and the scene he paints in the second:

the parasites are excited when you’re dead
eyes bulging, entering your head.
and all your thoughts, they rot

and

The hotcha girls at the palisades
Dime store keets, pretty birds, pretty mouths
Mama’s little truck stop rose, her dancy feet her happy laugh
We were dropping dimes on the ponies in the cul-de-sac,
Casting shadows throwing sparks

The rhythm section at the end of It’s All Nice On Ice is so good.

Always think this intro riff lifts a little too directly from Dead Skin Mask by Slayer.

I had the reissue version so never really considered how bad this artwork is

Bought Good News on a whim after reading a tiny review that sounded interesting. (In the pre-Spotify days when you still had to take a risk on new music)

And I really liked it - including Float On. I hadn’t heard of them before, and so didn’t know I was supposed to be rejecting their commercial success, but there you have it.

Bought the boaty one (Dead…?) and Moon and Antarctica, but they never really clicked with me. I tried Moon again the other day and it was alright.

I’ll give Lonesome a go this afternoon all being well. As far as I know, I’ve never heard it before.

He has got a voice like a Jim Henson puppet though.
