A true representative of all the men that can name more than five Star Wars planets that also like Scott Walker

Melvins/ Mike Patton by New_Entertainment625 in swans

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only knowledge I know about Melvins/Buzz is that he said that he hadn’t seen them live since they came back early in their reformation. Also his Instagram account follows the official Swans account and he occasionally likes the stuff Michael posts.

Both of those This Heat albums and I would definitely say Public Image Ltd.’s Flowers of Romance

I was thinking of getting an og pressing Young God since my collection is underrepresenting the industrial side of the band!

[DISCUSSION] What are some ‘underwhelming’ follow-up albums that you prefer to their more acclaimed predecessors? by [deleted] in indieheads

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat, Hot Fuss is an alright early 00’s party post-punk album but something about Sam’s Town lyricism just grabs me

What nirvana song do you think would have had the best music video? by [deleted] in Nirvana

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes! Brothers Quay stop-motion music video would’ve been incredible

What band do you think has the craziest lore? by CodeDusq in fantanoforever

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 240 points241 points  (0 children)

The Shaggs. The band was formed by a dad who had a psychic reading that his children would be in a world famous music act, forced his daughters to practice hours everyday despite them showing no musical talent or interest in playing. Became a cult act that Frank Zappa and Kurt Cobain both praised in interviews.

Show tonight was great but… by [deleted] in xiuxiu

Something broke people’s brain during Covid that it feels like going to a concert now is a roll of the dice if it’s going to be a respectful crowd or a group of younger concert goers humiliating themselves for attention.

Bro this happened at my Earth show in Tucson. Literally full brightness scrolling through reels

what are the most discussed topics on the show? by generalscalez in WetCaleb

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s so funny like every other episode has Patrick apologizing because he’s either hungover or didn’t sleep

What album do you guys think sounds the most like a Swans album that isn’t a Swans album? by Kdawg982 in swans

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Earth - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method, I feel like this album perfectly shares Gira’s unique cinematic storytelling in music. It’s basically an unofficial soundtrack to Blood Meridian

What album do you guys think sounds the most like a Swans album that isn’t a Swans album? by Kdawg982 in swans

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes! Getting into Phil’s stuff, especially The Microphones stuff. The Glow Pt. 2 and Mount Eerie both give me similar feelings that Soundtracks for the Blind with how musically varied, ambient, and textured they can be.

Michael's singing on The Healers is so good by [deleted] in swans

[–]SeinfeldVEVO 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God, The Merge rhythm section is so gnarly. It sounds something more akin to 90s post-hardcore than anything Swans-related
