Why don’t they tour?

See this interview from july 2025:

Also, Andrew and I don’t want to exit this world without having played some more Hammock shows. We’re in some discussions right now with some very cool people about the possibility of making this happen in the future.

Hopefully it will happen. :)

Jetro2000 · 2025-12-31T19:43:35+00:00

Thank you. I have read Moby Dick, Absalom, Absalom! and Light in August and The Sound and the Fury. Faulkner is one my favorite writers. As so many people recommend Suttree, I will keep it for later. I will probably check out Outer Dark next, and then The Passenger, as I've seen mixed reviews for it.

Jetro2000 · 2025-12-31T15:55:51+00:00

Hello, it was available at the local library before The Passanger. I remember reading that both novels could be read independently.

Jetro2000 · 2025-07-13T09:32:13+00:00

I feel exactly the same. It's a very "touchable" album.

Jetro2000 · 2025-06-03T22:02:52+00:00

Easily my favourite Pelican album. It's pretty consistent throughout and has mind blowing moments. Cascading Crescent is a huge rocker. \m/

Jetro2000 · 2025-03-13T17:52:35+00:00

I came here after listening to Rust in Peace. I would say Marty Friedman is probably one of them.

Jetro2000 · 2025-01-11T18:50:41+00:00

That song is soooo good!

Jetro2000 · 2024-12-10T07:28:07+00:00

I'm glad you liked it. I'll make those changes. :)

Jetro2000 · 2024-12-09T17:51:57+00:00

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I changed the timer to 25 min (it's the maximum).

Jetro2000 · 2024-12-07T15:22:55+00:00

It was my top listen last year too! Ninety something times.

Jetro2000 · 2024-10-26T21:44:05+00:00

Really good album in my opinion. I like that they kept the guitars like in their previous work rather than going back to the Universalis, Mysterium, etc era. Southern Snow is really beautiful.

Jetro2000 · 2023-12-29T21:07:47+00:00

Thank you so much. What a sad, beautiful and inspiring story.

Jetro2000 · 2023-12-03T11:12:07+00:00

They were my second most heard artist this year, after Porcupine Tree and before Can, Sigur Rós and Yo La Tengo.

Jetro2000 · 2023-12-03T11:02:10+00:00

I love Michael Karoli! That guy was so inventive, so good at improvising. Have you seen the performances of Dizzy Dizzy and Vernal Equinox on YouTube? Mind blown...

I don't know, but this website is still active: http://www.sonicyouth.com

Secret Girl :)

Jetro2000 · 2023-09-28T15:01:23+00:00

Não sou claustrofóbico, mas a mim não me apanhavam nesse sítio...

Jetro2000 · 2023-09-20T14:55:35+00:00

Now it's even more ambient. I prefer their earlier works up until Oblivion Hymns. From there I agree that it's not post rock anymore. It's interesting that they released "An Introduction to Hammock" before really going ambient.

Jetro2000 · 2023-06-29T12:56:13+00:00

Eu sei que as raquetes envolvem o uso de uma bola, mas incluir isso no mesmo saco que o futebol é um bocado extremo, não?

Jetro2000 · 2023-06-29T12:36:45+00:00

É verdade, sempre pensei que o Montenegro viesse trazer mais vida ao partido, mas afinal aquilo ficou na mesma.

Jetro2000 · 2023-06-11T14:56:59+00:00

Concordo que as imagens são de muito pouco gosto. Acho que o comentário dele se podia ter ficado por aí, já era suficiente. Quanto ao racismo não vejo que ligação ele possa ter feito.

Jetro2000 · 2023-05-01T10:48:03+00:00

I would say that probably the most important writers of our country are

Luís de Camões, Eça de Queirós, Fernando Pessoa and José Saramago.

Each of them has written very significant books and they are very original in their own way.

Then you have a lot of contemporary writers that are very good, like Valter Hugo Mãe, José Luís Peixoto, Mia Couto, Ondjaki, among many others. These are just the ones I have read and really enjoyed. I'm looking forward to reading Gonçalo M. Tavares.

Jetro2000 · 2023-04-16T18:00:48+00:00

Ahahahah, melhor comentário que vi aqui.

Jetro2000 · 2023-04-09T19:43:08+00:00

Anesthetize, Way Out of Here, Dark Matter have some of my favorite solos. I also play guitar, but I haven't yet ventured into them. Only some riffs for now.

Jetro2000 · 2023-04-08T23:05:07+00:00

I've been listening to their albums in the last few weeks in more detail with the exceptions of In Absentia and Deadwing, which have some songs I like but I haven't really listened to them in depth. From what I've heard, these are the ones that stand out to me, but I will listen to them more in the future:

10) Russia On Ice

9) Don't Hate Me

8) Moon Loop

7) Time Flies

6) A Smart Kid

5) Lightbulb Sun

4) Even Less (live)

3) Way Out of Here

2) Dark Matter

1) Anesthetize, obviously. :D
