peener weener Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Both were great and I'm definitely gonna check out the rest of Thee Silver Mt. Zion's stuff since they have a moderately sized catalogue, i'd personally recommend checking out at least one of the following: horses in the sky, he has left us alone but shafts of light sometimes grace the corners of our rooms (UGGHHHHHHH), and this is our punk-rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peener weener Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) god yes it's fucking terrible other hilarious examples: born into trouble as the sparks fly upwards 13 blues for thirteen moons "this is out punk-rock," thee rusted satellites gather + sing (the full name) not to mention all the fucking names the band's had (in order of increasing pretentiousness): a silver mt. zion thee silver mt. zion thee silver mountain reveries thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra & the tra-la-la band thee silver mt. zion memorial orchestra & the tra-la-la band with choir Edited February 17, 2016 by fuccboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 this is a good thread a lot of these songs are really good i'm pretty sure this is the first sf thread i've ever followed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dijon Mustard Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 ty fuccboi for making me aware of this thread. gonna post thoughts here somewhat often (that's a threat btw sns) for similar things there's... maybe melt-banana? they give me a similar vibe. i don't know a lot about melt-banana though. ooh i'll field this one. imo the best melt-banana album is cell-scape. some of the funnest guitar playing of the 00's, plus the songs aren't complete lo-fi spazfests like some of their earliest stuff, so it's a good place to start (just make sure you ignore the 10-minute ambient outro. it's whatever). scratch or stitch is also good; the vocals are fuckin chirpy tho (yes, chirpy) and might turn ppl off. you'll know if you like it or not within 5 seconds. if you listen to those albums and simply must have more, you fiend, their other good ones are teeny shiny, fetch, and bambi's dilemma. [spoiler="All I Wanted Was the Moon" -- Josephine Foster] strong contender for best non-kanye psychedelic folk song itt. lisnin to hazel eyes now, it's cool and good. makes me wanna revisit the works of vashti bunyan and also herd sheep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disinnocence Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 yo, kudos to fuccboi for pointing this thread out to us people who don't pay attention to things. (also, <3 silver mt. zion) let's hope this thread lasts longer than the late sf music clubs i and ii rip in peace. Both were great and I'm definitely gonna check out the rest of Thee Silver Mt. Zion's stuff I'd like to second that "He Has Left Us Alone..." would be a good starting point for them (also conveniently being their debut), as I think it's probably the best album to convey to you what the band is, even though later albums seem to be including more singing and such. tbh, he has left us alone is pretty much godspeed with a little singing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'll start with that one then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) is your campaign for vicar funded by a Super Pac ;) It's supported by the Jewel Runners. On a more serious note, I actually have the full week planned out so that people will at least appreciate rap a little more after this.

peener weener Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) up next is charles mingus' moanin', and i'm having trouble coming up with a blurb for this record that isn't entirely pretentious because this track means a lot to me, not only for it being my introduction to charles mingus (shoutout to sf user rehab) but also because it is, to me, the swinging, unapologetic, definitive expression of cool. it is braggadocio and it is nonchalant coolness at the same time. he shows you around a little, takes you to all the people he knows and places he owns, he tells you he's the greatest, and immediately afterwards shows you he is the greatest, and hey, it's absolutely true. charles mingus swings, even when he's bopping. this one just slaps Edited February 19, 2016 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapbar Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 can anyone else confirm that there is something wrong with that spoiler. because there is for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Falchion Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah, it's behaving oddly for me too. It's open and showing the video but only shows the extra text after clicking on the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disinnocence Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) today's song sure had me "moanin'" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) but yeah i like the music where they play saxophones and stuff (also, any suggestions for further listening?) and yeah, the spoiler is acting up for me as well, but i think we already confirmed that. edit: yeah looks like it was JUST fixed.

peener weener Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) mingus stuff above: Better Git It In Your Soul (Mingus Ah Um) very bop Duet Solo Dancers (The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady) a lot more formless Hobo Ho (Let My Children Hear Music) kind of a weird record to the point i didn't know which track to best represent it lmao oh and Cryin' Blues (Blues & Roots) you'll see what i meant Edited February 19, 2016 by fuccboi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disinnocence Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yo, thanks for the suggestions, man. Been trying to get into more jazz/big band/swing/whateverthefuck music lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
