Seeing as I have never heard of the other 2 bands, I would have to agree.

how are things going? werent you going through some shit recently or did i get you confused with another poster?

Report

LinoleumMagazine (June 29, 2009)

No that was me... yeah going through lotsa shit. Diagnosed with MS and also had my girlfriend who I went out with for over 3 1/2 years and moved to TX with, dump me.
We're moving into new apts this week. I mentioned this here before, but when you live together it feels like a fucking divorce (and you have to see them a lot, so it makes getting over them so much harder. grr!)
I started the MS treatment (Copaxone).. it's a daily shot... its actually not that bad.

So, I'm hangin' in there... I figure my luck's gotta change soon.
Thanks for asking man. How you doin? (try to not say that in a Joey voice, lol!)

Is there anymore dates announced for that tour?

I checked the Bridge Nine site, but couldn't find anything. I'm sure it'll be a pretty major tour.

It makes me sad that I'm not going to experience driving up to Austin for shows and crashing with all my friends at UT anymore.

But I know this is going through SF so it'll be good.

Reminds me, when the hell is the new Autolux album coming out? The last one was heavy as shit.

what about this reminds you of Autolux and how can you hate Sonic Youth and dig Autolux.

Also -- supposed to be sometime this year, but they've been saying that for 5 years.

Report

MattRamone (June 29, 2009)

Any kind of showgazy music.

Also, many Autolux songs go places instead of just diddling around while Kim Gordon rambles tunelessly about whatever art movie she saw this week.

Report

the_other_scott (June 29, 2009)

you need to listen to Sonic Youth when the wrote songs. I'm paraphrasing here, but there was a Buddyhead quote about Autolux a few years back that said something like "Autolux sound like Sonic Youth when they write actual songs instead of just fucking around with vacuum cleaners and spoons."

MattRamone (June 29, 2009)

I remember that, but I've tried that already. Sister was pretty dull.

The only silvesun pickups song I heard was absolutely horrible. Don't get what people see in them.

maybe you should try some of their other songs?

i would think the same thing about the riot before if i only heard the song where he keeps screaming WHAT ITS LIKE or whatever. i'm sure i could think of other examples if i werent too lazy.

Report

XberraXcudaX (June 29, 2009)

Yeah, maybe. But I hated that one song so much I can't find the energy to give them another shot.
