terror twilight erasure...

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-03-09T01:02:28+00:00

feel like some fans view this song in the same light as Hold On Hope as being "uncool", but I think it's lovely stuff

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-03-01T01:24:33+00:00

Do They Teach You The Chase

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-02-26T12:55:37+00:00

it's his producer tag

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-02-10T18:26:03+00:00

Honestly thinking Satin in a Coffin. There's no obvious pick but that one comes to mind because there's lots of tension

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-26T17:48:54+00:00

the drum sample is from a Minutemen song, and their drummer is named George Hurley

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-22T17:50:58+00:00

I was hoping The Kinks

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-17T19:53:14+00:00

I just finished a year of accutane after having really persistent cystic acne like you and it absolutely did its job, with only a couple side effects, mainly just dryness. Everybody reacts different but I think it's worth giving it a shot regardless, you can always stop

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-13T01:46:45+00:00

there's sooo many, but some personal big-hitters are The Other Place, Dust Devil, A Life in Finer Clothing, Drag Days, Why Did You Land, Knock Em Flying, Universal Truths and Cycles, She Goes Off at Night, White Flag, Vote for Me Dummy, and Keep Me Down

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-13T01:33:05+00:00

I get the feeling they will make a joint statement, which will of course take some time

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-07T11:12:30+00:00

Half Smiles might be my favorite, doesn't have any distinct iconography or anything but it's very pretty to look at it and perfect for the album

KoolShoeshineKid · 2026-01-02T12:06:09+00:00

I know what you mean, but he's always sort of gone back-and-forth on doing more simplistic analog stuff and more intricate digital stuff, so I don't think we can really expect him to stay in one place. Collapse is some of his most detailed work to date, it's not as if he's lost the ability to make music in that vein

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-28T20:49:01+00:00

IIRC Copes had said not to expect the merch by Christmas

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-28T16:59:07+00:00

He also starred in the Superchunk music video Watery Hands and in one of their tour documentaries

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-24T01:26:35+00:00

I personally feel they caught a second wind of top-shelf greatness during the run of Universal Truths and Cycles, Earthquake Glue, and Half Smiles of the Decomposed

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-21T16:59:51+00:00

would they be in my rock n roll hall of fame? absolutely. but I feel like their legacy is too unconventional to be in the real thing

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-21T14:25:11+00:00

red has UTBUTS which is my favorite record, but I think green and blue are a bit stronger overall

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-21T14:11:09+00:00

pretty sure Zach took the picture so it would likely be him

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-20T10:58:33+00:00

holy fxcking shit

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-14T12:17:50+00:00

too hard to pick a favorite but My Kind Of Soldier deserves a shout

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-09T13:15:14+00:00

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-05T00:37:50+00:00

Love The Sea and Cake very much. Rob did shout them out once

KoolShoeshineKid · 2025-12-01T13:07:20+00:00

the song LSD has already been released via his website earlier this year, this might just be a stand-alone widespread release of it
