@tody neck and neck between Bad Religion and NoFX

[tody]

@Tago-Mago same. wouldn't be able to decide, neither on album or song level. if you take it down to song level, it's Linoleum vs 21st Century Digital Boy.

[Tago Mago]

For me it’s linoleum vs hooray for me

[Tago Mago]

@Graham not sure if you’ve had the chance to check out Sulphur Aeon:

Cranking it right now @Tago-Mago - will report back!

For those into heavier music check out Mutually Assured Destruction. The “Hexer” ep they released earlier this year is awesome to get a taste of what this band is about.

I remember there being a few black midi fans here. I was gutted when they announced their separation a few weeks back, but now Geordie Greep has announced a solo project launching October 5th called The New Sound, with Holy, Holy as the lead single.

Looking back, I think it was Greep's influence on the band that really caught my interest and imagination. He just has such an idiosyncratic, whimsical and surreal approach to songwriting, and I have no doubt that this new release will rival black midi's best output

@T4920 just seen he’s performing in Nottingham in October (random email from a ticket site). Maybe close enough to you to work? Hope I’m not telling you something you already know!

[T4920]

@ARNC
I'll be buying tickets when they're available! Fancy it? Happy to do another city for a mini IH meet if it's easier for you?

[ARNC]

@T4920 the date doesn’t work for me, just passing it on as I got the info while I could still remember your post! Open to other options if timing/location works.

[T4920]

@ARNC if you enjoy the music and would like to go, let me know what dates work for you

If you haven't heard them already, the black midi songs that most resemble his solo output are probably Marlene Dietrich, 27 Questions and The Defence.

[ARNC]

@T4920 sorry, I was meaning more generally. I don’t think any of the published GG dates will work for me, unfortunately.

@GraemeE oh man that’s great…can you imagine sitting in that circle and the guitar gets passed to you? Gulp I love the album he ended up putting that song on and I play “Hometown Blues” a ton. Thanks for posting this.

@SKT this doc single handedly exposed me to multiple heavy hitter artists in that genre

[mclaincausey]

Fruition’s new one “How to Make Mistakes” is brilliant. Three amazing singers/songwriters who harmonize so well in so many ways with each other.

[SKT]

@mclaincausey I got turned onto Fruition late but I’m catching up. Love what I’ve heard and looking forward to checking out this new one.

[mclaincausey]

@SKT I just love them. Each of the songwriters is unique, talented, and has something to say, and the way they work together and support each other is remarkable.

Any Bodeans fans here. Saw them this past weekend at The Bearsville Theatre,in Bearsville,which Is a small town just west of Woodstock,NY. This video isn’t from my show,but it’s exactly what they sounded like. Been following them since 1986 when they came out.
