The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[Joe Gress]

The drummer from Minsk recorded an ambient record in North Dakota. It's really fucking good -- need to find the CDR.

Ambient record in North Dakota?

After listening to stories from my dad and visiting a few times for family reunions, this is what I imagine it sounds like:

Wasn't North Dakota, misremembered. You can hear snippets of it here:

hate deafheaven cause of the music, hate ghost bath for the same reason. nothing else particularly matters to me... also to boot they have some ugly titties on that album cover.



that kerry king marshall looks far better now.

[misterstomach]

Just refinished my Kerry King 2203.

I fucking hate tribals.

that looks a lot better. does the kk not have a low input? i always run into the low on my 2203.

No good shows are coming to FL this month except Torche(which they're from here so it barely counts) and The Dwarves/Queers show tour is making a stop. Very stoked on that one.

But I'm playing down there in April so at least you have that to look forward to.

You have been pm'd sir.

Man, Bassman RI combo back on my want list. A V2 is my dream amp but they're so hard to come by and spendy. That Bassman sounds fantastic...bet it's great live. Love what you're doing.

The one I have is a silverface, so I don't know how it'll sound compared to the combo, but I've owned a lot of bassmans and bandmasters over the years. Loud and Clean. Also, thank you.


I can't get behind any of the Kerry King sig products because of the god awful tribal paint jobs.

Anybody else pick up Dorthia Cottrell's solo album today?

Doh, I forgot about that!
It has a digital release, right?

Also, Nick, you might like to know that my opthalmologist really like my Dunwich Wizard shirt

[new05002]

lol very good

[Iommic Pope]

He said, "Yeah, I like your shirts, (he then tried to determine what the logo read, I explained it) yeah, he looks like Gandalf or something."

Surgeons of Doom.
Slicing up your eyes.

Edit: just grabbed that Dorthia album on vinyl preorder.
Shipping was brutal. Gota think of another album to grab to make it worth it.
Not sure what to get. A lot of good options in that Forcefield catalog.

[t-rey]

If you love stacking fuzz then you owe it to yourself to get one of these. Goddamn this thing sounds so good. Massive MASSIVE chugging when stacked into my Pharaoh. Controls are all pretty interactive. Got it set up as a low gain OD for them dirty cleans and I love it. Demo video coming as soon as I eat a bowl of cereal and blast a dook.

Cereal, shits, and riffs? Add in a few cups of coffee and that sounds like an ideal way to spend the morning

Just refinished my Kerry King 2203.

Vastly improved.

I'm on the westside of Michigan. Some decent tours come through Grand Rapids and the city is growing at a pretty quick rate so it gets a good deal of tours, just not everything. Over the next few months I'll get to see Torche/Nothing/Wrong, Weedeater, Andrew WK (confirmed I'll be hitting those). May also hit up Jucifer. May go to Sepultura because why not. In the past year-sh I've seen Weedeater, Full of Hell, Swans, Saint Vitus, Pallbearer, Pilgrim, Spirit Caravan amongst others that I'm surely forgetting.

That being said most tours end up coming to Chicago or Detroit. Chicago is a three hour drive (but I have very close friends there that I can crash with) and Detroit is about 2.5 hrs. I do both at least a handful of times per year. I have no qualms about going solo if I have to but I'd always rather have company as I'm sure most of us do when required to do some traveling.

Anyway -- I'd make the two hour trip solo for OMG and Coliseum.

That's a solid list of shows. We don't get much out here on the coast, but we do get better than we deserve from heavy bands because of people wanting to play Reggie's and bands that are friends with Weedeater or ASG coming through town.

Also, is anyone else starting to suspect that Andrew WK is quietly starting a cult with positive vibes? I love the dude and what he does, but I also kind of really want to see him do something nefarious.

[odontophobia]

It's an Andrew WK solo set. It will probably be kind of whack but I'll go anyway.
I try to go to shows that come to town to make sure that stuff keeps coming to town. Word of mouth shit.

"You ever play Grand Rapids?"

"Yeah, it was a bitter cold February and 150 people came out of the woodwork to a venue that has a bunch of pinball machines and tile floor reminiscent of the Black Lodge."

"Bitchin."

So yeah. I will likely hit-up Jucifer and Sepultura because they're playing here.

[Iommic Pope]

Listening to that Dorthia Cottrell album now.

Makes me wanna put out a country album.

Do not give a fuck what anyone thinks.

For the record, this whole "#DarkAmericana" thing is just hipster talk for country that is ok to listen to.

[samzadgan]

just heard the one track on Forcefield Records site...

sound nice and bleak...like you say pope it is country...but good country...townes van zandt type country...the only type of country i like...country!

I can see the utility of having a term that excludes the current radio-friendly "young country" bullshit, though. I'd be interested in other recommendations along these lines (besides Mark Lanegan).

She does a Van Zandt cover on the album, IIRC.
