Man Or Astroman.
Saw them play a reunion show last night. Always a good time.
What??? I somehow missed this???
I have a video I shot of the Clone Project Alpha tour at the Somber Reptile in 1998 where the band sent out ‘clones’ to play the songs which they supervised via satellite. Fun times.

It was at Whirlyball in Roswell and not very well advertised. I think pretty much just word of mouth, but it was sold out.
Never heard Earth, but have heard Sunn O))) before. Not sure how I could describe them if I were to talk about them to be honest. I guess a good mix of Jesu/Final/Lustmord?
Been listening to random stuff though. Soundgarden’s Down on the Upside at work earlier. Some Tears For Fears. Queens of the Stone Age/Them Crooked Vultures (which btw, JPJ has a very interesting bass if you check youtube).
Oh, and I listended to Pure by the Flesh before work this morning. At the bus stop, I was just randomly in the mood for “I wasn’t born to follow”.
I saw Sunn O))) two days in a row, opening for Wolf Eyes. The second day the show was at an old warehouse turned art gallery/venue. There was a huge wooden maze set up. And each band would play in a different area. Quite an experience indeed.
Taking a break from constant Gorillaz to spin the new Zola Jesus EP, it’s nice - dark yet sexy vocals, dirging synths, lo-fi aesthetics and a hint of pop.

Wow that sounds like a fucking dream come true for me. Awesome. I am creaming my pants with jealousy!!! [pirate]
Whenever the topic of Sunn O))) for instance arises here, it’s generally followed by a lot of head scratching and indifference.
And yet, mention Jesu…
I’ve only heard bits of Sunn O))) and have always thought of them as Sunn O)))ZZZzzZZZZzzzz…in saying that I’ve never given a whole album of theirs a chance…and I always get the urge to buy their vinyl album “Monoliths and Dimensions” at my local record store just because it’s a gigantic gatefold monster.
Sleep & Earth are two other bands I’ve never bothered with…I do however own the Shrinebuilder vinyl…does that count?
Shrinebuilder is bad-ass.
And Sunn O))) is definitely not high energy music. If you’re not into dark ambient/experimental, there’s really no reason to listen.
I realise they’re a bit ‘artsy and wanky’ for some but you need to dig a little deeper and ignore the fanboy hype.
Monoliths And Dimensions can change your life. It’s that good.
I know a guy who is a death/black/doom metal fanatic and whose record collection is a virtual library, who swears it’s the best thing he’s heard since the first Sabbath album.

If that’s not a compliment I don’t know what is.
I may just buy that massive slab of wax then. It’s pretty friggin expensive though at £30…but it is gigantic.
