Why are we alive?

weird
kayo dot was my bedtime music last night
I always listen to something on headphones in the dark
I must say it was a good choice, it needs that sort of attention

the only swans I have is a cassette I found in a sale for 20p
it has a rabbit holding a carrot on the front
something to do with 'light' in the title

I thought it was good, a bit goth maybe, but never got round to getting any more
the jarboe sacrificial cake album has perked up my interest again
must get some

White Light From the Mouth of Infinity, that tape is probably worth some $$$.

Kayo Dot makes excellent sleepy time music, particular the endings of Marathon and The Antique.

 

[unhinged]

thats the one
wouldn't sell it, I liked it more after i had it a couple of years
thats a good sign to me
also i like the cover

 

[NAD]

Oh yeah, it's awesome. I'm on the hunt for the CD now, just paid $26 for it's companion album, Love of Life

Then there's the twin gatefold LP set, I haven't seen what it looks like though.

 

[unhinged]

thats class - any more good covers ?

 

[NAD]

They have a real thorough discography here: http://www.swans.pair.com/

Those two are my favorites but Filth is pretty cool too:

 

[unhinged]

they have some great designs there
fucking expensive mailorder though

think I'll have to bargain hunt

 

[NAD]

Ebay.com and half.com are the cheapest it seems. That and the various re-releases, but not everything has gotten that treatment. If you want some CD-Rs let me know, because Scald kicks ass and I owe you one.

 

[unhinged]

that would be cool
filth sounds pretty good, I listened to one of the clips

I'll be posting some good news about scald soon

 

[NAD]

Just PM me your address whenever, and I hope the good news is the gatefold album will be released soon.

Filth is fucked up, you'll love it.

 

[unhinged]

just looked at your trade list
youre probably looking for the originals but I could burn you some anathema
or antimatter is pretty cool

got an isis bootleg from the belfast gig

 

[unhinged]

whats a Pm?

 

[NAD]

I'll send you one.

 

[Nate The Great]

Filth is so far ahead of its time it makes me want to eat my own feces.

 

[NAD]

Anyone that has heard Filth knows exactly what you are talking about.

Also I think World of Skin is becoming my favorite Swans album, even though I guess technically it isn't Swans.

 

[NAD]

Bump because Swans are quite possibly the greatest band in HISTORY, man.

I'm really diggin' Soundtracks for the Blind lately, even without a bunch of Gira vocals (my favorite aspect of the group) this is still some amazing shit.

I need to get that Cop/Young God/Greed/Holy Money thingy, and I still only have illegal CD-R copies of Filth, the s/t EP, and White Light From the Mouth of Infinity. Not that it really matters to get the originals I suppose, but it just feels good to have them.

Yar.

 

[KILL TULLY]

I wish this thread was about what the title said because it would lead to another huge stupid argument of rullingness.
