on a friggin Monday night, but still...Helmet has to be one of the best bands ever!
Holy crap I didn't know Helmet was still around! Playin in SF!
- Thread starter dh girlie
- Start date
they regrouped a year or so ago. not sure who is left from the original band outside paige. i liked the drummer (john stanier) quite a bit, but he might be playing w/ tomahawk now.
i liked them back in the day, but they lost steam. "born annoying" is still a ferocious 1st single, though, and _strap it on_ is a great record.

I think I'll still try and make it to the show...they are playing with someone called Chevelle? Know anything about them?narlus said:
Also, question for you on the cd's you made for me...how much of that stuff is actually new ??? Like made in the last say...3-5 years?
Tomohawk...that's Mike Patton's 'new' band, right? I don't think I've heard anything from them...any good?
here are the "newer" ones:dh girlie said:
brand nubian/automator - rockin' it
intermission II/mogwai - hunted by a freak
black keys - just couldn't tie me down
songs
hia - tigressdriveby truckers - (something's got to give) pretty soon
RJD2 - the horror
kool keith and kut-masta kurt - the orchestrators
joe strummer and the mescaleros - coma girl
the libertines - the man who would be king
Arab strap - love detective
Super Furry animals - demons
The Streets - turn the page
never heard Chevelle, and am not that smitten w/ Tomahawk from what i've heard.
I heard a Tomahawk tune, don't remember what it was called, but I wasn't impressed. Chevelle has a few songs on the radio, not bad, not great, they pretty much sound like every other cookie cutter band coming out these days. One of the songs they say "seeing red again" over and over and over and over and over...

Hmmm...probably worth checking out. Helmet was so bad ass back in the day...
SO! That supports my theory that there isn't much NEW music coming out that is worth listening to...don't get me wrong, I like about 98% of the stuff on the cds, just a couple songs I didn't get into.narlus said:here are the "newer" ones:

i wouldn't agree. remember that i used about 80 songs, and tried to tailor them to your tastes. if i was doing a cdr set for myself, i could easily fill a bunch of disks w/ stuff from the last 18 months or so, but i stayed away from indie pop (think Belle & Sebastian), acid folk (ie, Six Organs of Admittance, devendra banhart), electronic stuff (four tet, boards of canada), indie rock (Hood), or just plain weird stuff (dred foole, stuff from the jewelled antler collective like thuja, etc). also, it usually takes a bunch of listens for me to fully get into something, so that's another reason why a bunch of older stuff is on there.dh girlie said:

LOL... I though this was gonna be a post about you playing around on your bike while wearing a real old helmet.
DHG... Do you have a work e-mail (or any one that can handle an e-mail over 2.2 megs)
I want to send you a song.

It's only 25% old helmet, Page is the only one left. New CD is o.k., not much more.

yep! saw them last month at the boulder theatre! great show; goo dmix of old and new stuff.
new album (wow, that dates me.....) is good, but a bit mellow compared to much of the older stuff.
