Elliott was awesome, anybody that doesn't suck that looks at myspace care to give an opinion on these?

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

sounds like elliott's last record. very ethereal.

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

also he's screaming again. awesome.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Sweet, that's awesome.

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

so did you like the bugs or totally hate them? i don't think there's an in-between.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

I liked them, that shit was fun.

TheSandwiches (March 13, 2009)

Future you says it's decent.Would listen again. Would also post in cave.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

I'm glad, wish I could see you dude.

Look forward to spelunking

kneel (March 13, 2009)

i like it.

also frontier(s) the band > frontiers(s) the french horror movie

bolucce (March 13, 2009)

elliott's "drag like pull" vs alexisonfire's "get fighted"

AOF wrote their song with full intention of ripping off elliott. this is true.

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

oh shit matt from the enkindels is in this.

soundforlanguage (March 13, 2009)

On may 1st they're playing with in Louisville with....Guilt?!? And SPLIT LIP?!?!!????!!!!

Holy fucking shit, 1994/95 just came back and kicked me in the face.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Dude, David Hayes (lookout!/very small records) has an mp3 blog, the 90's have been kicking me in the face a lot lately.

soundforlanguage (March 13, 2009)

Really? Gotta check that shit out....

Also, Used bin forever! isn't online anymore...

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Yeah, I was bummed about that. There is always 'the poet you never were' that blog is really good too.

soundforlanguage (March 13, 2009)

what's the URL for his blog?

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

http://k9pho.blogspot.com/

He's put most of his stuff up, there is a 12 song Crimpshrine demo.

ALL of the 'songs about drinking' comps are on there, its so damn awesome.

soundforlanguage (March 13, 2009)

Sewer Trout....Fuck yes.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

So shit, all the Elmer stuff is there too.

President of the Anarchists Club is one of my favorite songs ever.

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

i used to have that demo but lost it when i switched computers. thanks for the heads up.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

yeah dude, if you don't have them, grab all 4 of the drinking comps

Songs about Drinking
Liverache
Twelve Ounces of Courage
Drinking about Songs

the bands are all great and the samples in between songs make everything flow so well. Burn all 4 down to an mp3 cd, you have 5.5 hours of drinking music without changing a disc or a record. That was always my problem. I have these comps on vinyl, but flipping them over and over becomes a task I'm not prepared to tackle once I've been saucing for a while.

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

i hope schlong is on there. i like to put on punk side story a few hours into the party and get people to sing along when they're trashed.

also

i think i've collected everything (digitally at least) that jeff ott has done and now im moving on to aaron cometbus. let me know if you've got any rare stuff with him on it.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Tons of Schlong on there (i really needed to type that)

I've got lots of random cometbus stuff. we will discuss through email

miniblindbandit (March 13, 2009)

i might have to go to that...even though it's headliners. the show with young livers on 4/10 should be awesome too.

leecorsoisapenis (March 13, 2009)

Split Lip!? Oh man, that is huge. Indiana please?

SATAN_the_KOREAN_DINOSAUR (March 13, 2009)

im there!

JohnnyMachine (March 14, 2009)

Holy fucking shit is right!!! Wish I could go to that show. Can you dudes please come to Auckland???

Elliott's "False Cathedrals" and Guilt's "Further" are both in my top ten recordings of all time. Louisville is indisputably one of - if not THE - greatest hotbeds of musical talent in the world: Shipping News, Black Cross, Will Oldham, Rodan, By the Grace of God, Falling Forward, Young Widows, etc etc etc. But most importantly it was the birthplace of one of music history's greatest masterpieces - Slint's legendary and incomparable "Spiderland."

MeteoroHC (March 13, 2009)

I don't know the label neither the band.

MyStereoHasMono (March 13, 2009)

Frontier(s) the movie > Frontier(s) the band

That aside, Elliott was fucking awesome. Anyone else think that "Drive On To Me" would/could be used in a car commercial, for like Cadillac or some shit?

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

It would be fitting, but I'm glad that it wasn't.

It's funny, lots of my neighbors listen to stuff like 'Death Cab' and their ilk...
They come over to my house and hear stuff like Elliott and Texas is the Reason and think I've got some new bands that nobody has heard of. Truth is, they are just very slow.

MyStereoHasMono (March 13, 2009)

When emo was emo and girl jeans were worn by girls. I miss those days.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Me too.

Were you into stuff like 400 Years as well?

MyStereoHasMono (March 13, 2009)

Yes sir. Old school Lovitt records style. I like to take trips down memory lane at work, so it's on rotation with shit like antioch arrow, sunny day, elliott etc.

baldsteve (March 13, 2009)

Yeah, I dig all of that stuff. I'm only cool with SDRE through Diary and the 'thief' 7".

After that, I just didn't care.

MyStereoHasMono (March 13, 2009)

I'm down with with most of their catalog.

maestro976 (March 13, 2009)

Wow, way to name yourself after a mediocre French horror film.

justahippie (March 13, 2009)

Elliott was one of my favorite bands of all time. I got to see them a lot growing up in Louisville. I remember seeing them play their last Louisville show with Your Black Star and Mono in an old church. So epic. I miss them. I'm glad Chris is doing something else, i love his voice.

JohnnyMachine (March 14, 2009)

Mono??? Don't you mean Drum:Kan?

And I agree with you - Chris Higdon is one of the greatest vocalists ever.

SATAN_the_KOREAN_DINOSAUR (March 13, 2009)

CANNOT WAIT for this.
