This has been bugging me since I heard of the band. Is it pronounced Unwo-u-nd (wo-o-nd) or Unwo-u-nd (wo-w-nd)? I think I found out at one point but I’ve forgot

#333

the latter, becuase the former isn’t a thing.

That’s what I thought… also if I’d just read further into your article I wouldn’t have had to ask

“Strangely, the name Unwound would become more relevant with every passing year; all their music has an inherent tension to it…”

Yeah winding up, it’s ironic yeah?

I deliberately avoided this thread up to now as I can do nothing about it during the day at work, but now I’ve gone and read it and all I can think about is what playlists I might knock up when I get home!

Planning on a Rocket From The Crypt one and modifying a Jesus Lizard one I did a few years ago that is currently 1h 5m and 20 tracks.

I may also have a stab at a NIN one as well.

I was going to attempt this today but was trying to figure out how to handle Cassandra Gemini taking up more than 50% of the the run time and 25% of the song count.

Yeah, aside from an early or MCIS-era Pumpkins show, that would be my number one choice too. I wonder if there’s anything equivalent taking place now and everyone will be talking about it 20 years later.

#341

so stupid that it’s still divided up into all those tracks. that was my immediate thought too to end with it but decided against it!

#342

Ok so I quickly knocked up a Jesus Lizard playlist on my phone. Not listened through so I may change the order later but anyway here you go, 12 tracks 40 mins.

Think the UK had quite an exciting scene about… shit 10 years ago!

#344

Went and made a Silver Jews one didn’t I:

  1. How to Rent a Room
  2. Smith & Jones Forever
  3. Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed
  4. The Wild Kindness
  5. I Remember Me
  6. Animal Shapes
  7. Random Rules
  8. Horseleg Swastikas
  9. Tennessee
  10. Candy Jail
  11. Trains Across the Sea
  12. Pretty Eyes

Just an amazing band and I love all their albums, but I find it almost impossible to explain their appeal to people who aren’t into them. There’s just something intangible in their outlook, or approach to music-making I guess that’s super understated, but also funny and heartwarming, and weirdly profound.

Oooh, Nin, that’s a fun one.

anais?

cheers for this (& @Yesiamaduck) having a total Modest Mouse sesh now combining both of your playlists (Germany doesn’t get Moon & Antartica either it seems) as it can be fun to put some of their songs in difference contexts and see what comes out

Also taking a shot at Built to Spill. I think this might be the hardest one so far and the most likely to change every few hours. The ones in bold are the only 100% locks. 11 songs, exactly an hour.

  • Revolution
  • Cleo
  • Twin Falls
  • Stab
  • Velvet Waltz
  • Kicked It in the Sun
  • Untrustable
  • Carry the Zero
  • Temporarily Blind
  • Pat
  • Things Fall Apart

Some thoughts:

  • Ultimate Alternative Wavers needed representation. “Get a Life” almost overtook “Revolution” for that spot given its Neil Young solo, but the latter was shorter and has arguably the greatest guitar riff not written by Billy Corgan or that isn’t “Whitewater” by Kyuss.
  • “Twin Falls” only made it due to its length. I exchanged one four minute song that I couldn’t decide on for it and the very overlooked “Pat”.
  • “Broken Chairs” was a casualty of its length, and “Made Up Dreams” got left off due to not wanting to include half of Perfect From Now On / not wanting to exclude UAW entirely.
  • The playlist might even be improved by exchanging “Twin Falls” + “Pat” + “Revolution” for “Broken Chairs” but whatever.
