Heapers making up fake bands

It was funny at first, but it's getting old. There's no such band as Merzbow or Steve Albini or Chic.

    We can do anything if we do it together.
    Chic is actually pop, in all seriousness.

    In fact, you probably know this song from somewhere:

  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

    You are correct, although at one time Merzbow was a band of sorts. Kiyoshi Mizutani was the other constant member, with the performance artists Reiko Azuma and Tetsuo Sakaibara often contributing live, particularly during Akita's 80s tours. There is even an acoustic live Merzbow album—or mostly acoustic. It is pretty damn cool.

    90s, actually, in the case of Reiko A and Bara. Sorry for the mix-up. That said, Live in Khabarovsk CCCP: "I'm Proud By The Rank Of The Workers" is from 1988 and is a Mizutani-era album, and it is indeed about as close to Merzbow Unplugged as one is likely to get.

  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    I only listen to Megalithic Death Parade, Fight Five Kings, Supermassive Cheesecake, Hyperion Hits Hell, Sanctus Hunter, Exactamundo, Hoy! Hey! Hets Go!, Layered Plasma, Fuckfaster, and 一刀两段.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I like Bongripper and Seedy Jeezus.
  • Gotta say, Fuckfaster disappointed me with their latest album. I'm definitely more attuned to their synthy jazz stuff than I am to the faux-power pop they did this time. It's probably going to have to grow on me, though; I wasn't a huge fan of Cockboard when it first came out and now it's one of my favorite albums.

    . . . it's really weird seeing you using language like that tbh

    kill living beings
    yeah, it's pretty weird seeing anyone use a phrase like "faux-power pop", in my opinion
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    it's true, i actually have no idea what that means

    Spoiler:
    there's no such thing as faux power pop and AFAIK there's no band named Fuckfaster either; I was channeling an old TVT Forum Games thread about nonexistent music but clearly the joke didn't read as such
  • kill living beings
    i was making another joke because i assumed aphid was referring to your using forbidden terminology

    what's it like being so owend
  • You've successfully dunked on me twice now: in name and in wit.

    Bravo, Klino.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I own every album by The Crucial Three and treasure them dearly.
