Now they're going to have to forget how to play proper guitars all over again.

 

[Dwight]

What a sound fucker to give the stuff back!

 

[Beak]

bonkers, I remember reading the news of that theft in school.

great news n all, but the best bit in that Pitchfork article for me is discovering there's a band with members of Liars and Young People in it, can't wait to hear that.

Rain on Tin rules!!!

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Rain on Tin rules!!!

yeah its ok, im sick of it though and that kinda guitar playing they seem to do on every song these days. wildflower soul is cooler for that sort of thing.

Yeah I guess I know what you mean, it will be nice knowing that there's the potential for them to pull any one of the oldies out of the bag. Man! Can you imagine if they were asked to do one of the Summer 2006 ATP Don't look back gigs?! Sister, Daydream Nation or Evol in glorious entirety? Ohhhhh boyyyyyyy...... dribble.....drool...

yeah it's a great album. "Ono soul" is one of my favourites.

Beh yourself. i was talking about washing machine/atl/the first few syrs where kim also played guitar and nobody really bothered with bass too much. a thousand leaves is brill. kims is the best.

 

[chickenham]

...Just that there's no lack of bass on the regular albums. AFAIK Jim played bass on Murray st. ATL etc.. and certainly brought something different to the role.

jim didnt really get stuck in til murray st. he may have done some lap toppy stuff on nycg&f and syrs 3,4 & 5 but he wasnt on atl at all. theres a little bit of bass on ATL and WM but mostly kim was playing guitar by then.

he played guitar a lot too on the last 2...

[Charlie Bucket]

has kiim got osteoperosis?

thurston has a brittle bone for her....

 

[the departed]

thats deadly news cos i remember lookin at all the gear theyd stolen and there was mad shit like a travis bean like matty bolgers and stuff.
i also heard that the dude who stole it couldnt do shit with it cos it was all so customized or scratched to bits that it was easily i.d'd as SY's.

so who's got waiting room's gear eh??
fess up..
