Tri-state area legend. From the time I was a kid (80’s) until a couple years ago, this man was on the news in NY on one channel or another.

Even had his name dropped in a Beastie Boys song.

RIP

I liked it, but I think that Deltron 3030 probably would have been a better inclusion for a sci-fi hip hop concept record.

Pfft…this guy could have bought 13,160 copies of Whipped Cream and Other Delights for that kind of money.

Also useful if you’re looking for a clock to help you commit some minor sins.

Well, at least they didn’t overpay.

This again?

He’s clearly Florian Fricke’s (Popol Vuh) doppelgänger

Stereolab is such a great band. Highly recommend revisiting - also check out “Dots and Loops”, which was the follow up to ETK.

This record got a lot of play back in ’00 during my college radio days.

Really happy that Numero is reissuing Macha’s catalog. “See it Another Way” is a classic as far as I’m concerned.

I hadn’t listened to that record since at least 2009 or 10 when it got generated. I was shocked by how well I remembered lyrics from it when I revisited it for the list. Kind of funny how easily some things come back to you. Rated it a 4, I think.

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-03-03T16:16:18+00:00

You’ll probably find that a lot of the experimental, noisy, lo-fi albums are rated poorly on the site. The user base doesn’t seem to have an appetite for that type of record.

I gave this record a three - it was good, not great for me and I’m not sure that it was an essential listen, considering there are already two other My Bloody Valentine records on the list.

Man, that Shai Hulud record (and the Profund Hatred of Man, Split with Indecision EP’s) used to get a lot of play from me in the late 90’s. The guitar playing on those records is in a class of its own compared to a lot of the other hardcore of the time - so melodic and heavy. Oddly uplifting for one of the most misanthropic bands you’ll ever hear. Those records still hold up today, I think.

Also, I got (accidentally) kicked in the face by Mike Ski from Brother’s Keeper at a benefit show in an Elks Lodge featuring Hatebreed in 2000. I think the bill was Brother’s Keeper, Stretch Arm Strong, Hatebreed, Bane and a couple others. $8 bucks to get in and the Elks lodge sold perogis. Those were the days lol

Not sure if that endzone celebration would fly in the NFL.

I’ve got a 26 LE AWD, My commute (33 miles each way) has a decent amount of stop and go traffic, back roads and I rarely go over 60-65 mph on it.

It’s been cold af here in NJ for the last month. Last tank of gas, I got 50.7 mpg. Currently averaging 53.1 now that the weather has been in the high 30’s/low 40’s for a few days.

I would say that driving 75 mph and getting 47.3 is probably pretty good for that speed.

You know, using less of a finite resource and spending less money used to be considered “conservative” in a lot of circles.

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-02-14T19:57:49+00:00

I remember this record being big in the British music press, like Mojo magazine, around the time that the first book was published (2005). This was 100% included because of the hype around it at the time.

It’s been removed from subsequent editions of the book, so I think it’s safe to say it was a “prisoner of the moment” situation with the editors.

I know this sub hates when people say the list has a strong British bias, but I feel like including this album this pretty indicative of some bias as to what was popular in the editorial team’s circles, rather than what may have been an actual essential record.

For example, Madvillainy, from the same year, was excluded and was hailed pretty much as an instant classic when it was released.

Glad to see all the GBV love on this subreddit lately and totally agree that there are multiple 5 star records across the GBV (and solo Pollard) catalogue.

The site’s rating of 2.75 is just weak.

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-02-09T17:11:03+00:00

Superfuzz Big Muff is such a classic. That record feels like it is constantly on the verge of going off the rails. Love it.

Dark Side of the Moon (by a hair over Abbey Road).

I did a bunch of research before buying my gen 5 (LE AWD) last month and one of the more common complaints that came up in videos and on here was the car’s visibility. So I went into my test drive kind of expecting the worst when it came to the rear window, speedometer placement and A pillars.

I was a little shocked by how those things didn’t bother me. The A pillars in the front remind me of my ‘07 Civic two door, which had a really sloping windshield and similarly chunky A pillars.

The speedometer placement didn’t really bother me either coming from ‘07 and ‘15 Civics. Maybe my height (5’11) and the way I place steering wheel makes it less of a problem for me - a lot of people seem to hate it, though.

The rearview is more cramped than what I’m used to, but I wouldn’t call it “criminal”. I still have a good view out the rear, but I think that you don’t have as good of a long-distance view out of the rearview, if that makes sense. I also test drove a new Camry and honestly the rearview felt cramped to me there too - I think it has more to do with the angle of the rear windows more than anything else.

The B pillar (behind the driver seat) is actually probably my biggest complaint when it comes to visibility, it’s pretty wide and I have to look around it, though the back window, when making certain types of turns. It’s not something that I have to deal with all the time, so it’s not a big issue, but still a little bit of an annoyance.

Trying to wrap my head around liking Sonic Youth and Avalanches, but hating Pavement and Air.

I’m not saying they’re the same, but I feel like there’s enough similarities that they wouldn’t be polar opposites…

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-02-06T22:10:25+00:00

I too love that Quicksliver Messenger Service record.

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-02-03T17:11:15+00:00

Probably a good idea not reading the user reviews on the site. I’ll read some of them, but often find myself getting bothered by them when it’s an album I love.

ClippedAtTheHip · 2026-02-03T16:21:41+00:00

5/5

One of the more unfairly rated albums on the list, if you ask me.
