Thanks John, that was very well written and I applaud you for keeping with the schedule and still putting it in perspective.

The luck did not hold. Probably Italy.

Glad you like it!

I also listen to Loscil a lot while working. He was on my most listened many times for that reason.
Glad you gave it a shot. My favourite is Endless Falls which I always found best through earphones in the dark, if you feel like giving him another try. It also reminds me of Vancouver.

Oh yeah I love Autechre and Confield is very challenging, and I don't think I've listened to it for decades at this point.

It was probably me... And that critique is fair enough.

My other recommendations from the List in this vein would be Labradford, Fixed::Context, and Loscil, Triple Point. Although that's a very early Loscil album and I think his mid/late 2000's work is his best.

It's quite good, isn't it?

Hey I saw Modest Mouse at Bumbershoot! Yo la Tengo was right before them.

Oh and Wagon Christ is on there too, and The Constantines! Nice

It's great, and still gets listens here.

Thanks! I can tell that I am going to be out of step with the general voting group here, as half of what I loved isn't even on here yet.
And my favourites are either Ambient (Labradford, Loscil), really quite odd (Rufus W, Roots Manuva) or Mogwai.

btw the Labradford and Root Manuva are FANTASTIC

Gave Disintegration a fair shake and it's good at what it does but what it does is so fucking limited. Doolittle is more electric, weirder, funnier, more varied, more exciting, more inventive - it's even gothier! Just as thrill-powered as it was in 1989

They're also considered a bit of a joke band by some.

Dreadlock dude in the picture is (was?) in the band 311

Fair enough. For Habs, I find that things are noisier when the team is doing well. At least with my feed.

Muting the names of the people involved helps a bit with that.

Hard Agree. "Cuz I'm charmin', I'm dashin', I'm rental car crashin'"

lol I get that now. We just thought that "mackinest" was one of those made up words that sounded cool.
November 19, 2025 at 4:37 PM
Is that the actual line? I always wondered what the hell it meant.
November 19, 2025 at 3:29 PM
Voting for the Beasties cuz I'm the most mackinest
