Stoner Rock for the Summer -- any recommendations?

[lizard]

I wish khan had ripped kirk's arms off.

I have no idea what to call it but so far everyone seems to be on the money with recommendations, so it serves a purpose. Plus the website stonerrock.com seems to reflect what most people would perceive as "stoner rock".

That aside, have you heard Wolfmother & Early Man yet? I have to assume you have by this point, since you're always ahead of the curve in this genre.

"Stoner rock" is just an unfair name for a genre, doesn't mean anything , it is stupid as a "meaning" and it is stupid because it describes music that exists decades before the first so called "stoner rock" bands or the possible beginning of the genre. Also most so called "stoner rock" bands hate that they are being labeled like this. The website is just a fashion victim too.

Off topic: I haven't heard Wolfmother or Early Man, can't find the albums anywhere here.. wtf are Early Man anywayz?

No no no no....give it a fair listen on the MP3s.

I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

I honestly think this is going to be one of those CDs where you'll listen to it again on your Shures, cranking the volume, and think to yourself, "what was I thinking, this shit is smokin'.".

Wouldn't be the first time.

Or you could end up stabbing yourself with a spoon. Who knows.

Right now, smart money is on the spoon.

call it "ode to supermonkeypoopflinging" for all i care, just keep it standard between people and quit sub-sub-sub-sub-sub genreizing. "Black metal" "thrash metal" "death metal" "stoner" "doom" I'll even go as far as Funeral doom and death/doom being seperate genres

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i need to get some fu manchu...man a couple of those sample tracks on stonerrock.com really touched my no-no spot

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

fu manchu rules. as does their obsession with chevy vans!

I guess on second thought you've gotta have labels, but so many groups fall somewhere in between two genres and then you've got the aforementioned "that's blackened forest socialist metal!"
"no it's not!"

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

thats why I prefer comparing bands to other bands, or describing it and not relying upon genres. And more than that, I prefer samples.

[Krilons Resa]

Oh yeah and JayK, there's this group that Doomicifer shoved down my throat, I forget their name but they had a shitload of rad guitar solos and their album cover was dark green with like a yellow sword or something. I liked but didn't love them, but I think you would love the tits off them. Or in them even, I dunno.

????????

If so,

Amazing!

 

[NAD]

I think that's the one. Upload them shizt!0it42oplk.24q

Or I will when I get home, whatvkel.

Today was the first day I got to listen to Colour Haze in warm weather. It rocked. I paid my library fine cheerfully. I waved in a jovial manner to some Guatamalians or some shitz. We are all brothers of the world, amigos! Two immaculately dressed gays ahead of me on the sidewalk evolked not a single chuckle.

Colour Haze is therapeutic.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, the more I listen the more I love it

How does that make a label useless? Only if you expect the label to entail one specific sound. If there is a characteristic that can be used to unite a bunch of music under a common label, why not do it?

My only problem with labels is when they start to describe the attitude surrounding the music instead of the sound of the genre itself, and become too broad to have any sort of accuracy...indie being the most egregious example IMO. Stoner is only somewhat guilty of this IMO.
