Guest W32MyDoom Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I've been really into Deerhunter since Halycon Digest. Them and Lorn were the highlights for me of the 2010 Bleep 100. Be sure to grab all of the Halycon Digest B-Sides. Edit: The track Coronado makes me so mad. Such a perfectly beautiful track and then that nasty wailing saxophone solo comes in. the sax is what makes that song so good. love hearing the sax come back in deerhunter, destroyer and pj harvey's latest releases.

Ha, well I'm glad someone likes it. Wish I could get a run without it in it though. The piano + his voice is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually deleted it from the album it drives me so nuts. also agree about lorn. need to check out those b sides... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 From what I've read, Bradford has been doing lots of batshit stuff lately. In one of his recent shows, he had a bizarre monologue with a 13 year old boy that he invited onto the stage who was supposed to represent a younger version of himself. Apparently he went on for 20 minutes about people who have disappointed him and he referred the boy as "just like me, only cuter." I can't really blame him for losing his shit, looking the way he does. I mean he's been a good enough sport about it to have two music projects at the same time and tour, be a high-profile indie artist, etc. Oh I can't wait to hear how my brother-in-law's weekend goes then. Better to be strange person than an asshole musician I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I like Halcyon Digest an awful lot. There are some pretty cool tracks on there, I love the gritty lo-fi production but the big sweeping epic tracks. It's fair to say he make's Thom Yorke look like Lemmy, and I prefer my rockstars not wearing a dress or poncing about like he does. It's a massive turn-off for me, but the music is good, so respect. All I have is HD (white vinyl, nice) but mean to get other stuff by them some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I listened to Microcastle today and it's even better than I remembered. Top notch album, it ends with a 1,2,3,4 punch of great psych/shoegaze/post punk greatness. Rainwater Cassette Exchange is a great little EP too.

Guest cult fiction Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Watching the videos I don't how know how anybody could think he was mentally disturbed or scary, seemed like he was putting on a good-natured show and most of the audience was having a great time. Reading some of the initial reports you'd think he was GG Allin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 the new atlas sound 'paralax' record was a bit blah to me... quite nice considered aesthetic and a few nice songs, but just felt a bit boring and safe to me. I didn't really enjoy most of Paralax either but I yeah, he makes a lot of music, I enjoy a larger percentage of his catalog than I do for say Richard D Jams LoL who made a lot more so, It doesn't really make me think they are any less genius. For right now I still think Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel is the best Atlas Sound album. http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/11160-let-the-blind-lead-those-who-can-see-but-cannot-feel/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQcK9BDjoEI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I watched some of the clips of this impromptu hour long My Sharrona cover and It was every bit as awesome, hilarious and groovy as I could have hoped for. I don't think I ever respected a gay dude anymore than Bradford. oh my gah his arms He has Marfan syndrome http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marfan_syndrome People with Marfan's tend to be unusually tall, with long limbs and long, thin fingers.
