Every so often an album comes along that will consistently startle your dog. Thee Oh Sees "Help" is such an album!

So glad I went and found a joint to smoke before I put the needle down on this one! Listen as soon as you can!!!

it's a good one!

i can't stop listening to it. so close to a perfect 10. i love when they do some turtles on side 2.

and the flute on that one song on side one... NICE!!!

That's rock flute, it killS!

Why are all of my favorite records always from SF?

you really want me to answer that?

Why are all of my favorite records always from SF?

THE LAND OF FRUITS & NUTS!

as Michael Savage says…

And why isn't anybody talking about the new Wooden Shjips album too?

as Michael Savage says

somebody needs to croak that blowhard.



And why isn't anybody talking about the new Wooden Shjips album too?

killer?

This record is great! Went to see them play the other night too. So freakin' good. One of the best surprises from Gonerfest last year IMO. Dwyer wins again!

killer?

Totally. SF is ruling it right now. Best 2 NEW records I've bought in years. AND amazing reishes are dropping like crazy what with the Eddie Hazel solo album and these MONK blues reishes and stuff. It's SICK!

I dig it but prefer ...Master's Bedroom....

Is that sooo wrong?

Master's Bedroom was fantastic. This one is just more bombastic and wild!

Think I'll go get the Kid Congo and Wooden Shjips records this weekend, and catch up with the rest of the current ITR roster.

This OCS video rules:

so like... how many typically non-itr/ goner/ etc type music fans will buy this album? it's gonna be huge across the board, right? how come every time i turn on the philly station they play garbage? they need to play this album all the time.

i needs it

I'm REAL into the Wooden Shjips at the moment. Must get new one. Eric? You got it? I need to place an order.

Why are all of my favorite records always from SF?

Rip Off Records is out of SF, my friend. Do you want me to autograph your Chinese Millionaires LP now?

got new Wooden Shjips. It's good. (it's not on the cart now but i'll update it in a second... we have a few copies in the store not being bought by walk-in psychedelic fatsos.)

Also get that Charles Albright 7"... killer.

Coming next week: Eat Skull... and after that Tyvek lp!

Anybody know what the press amount is on the ice cream pink vinyl?

Pretty apt review for Oh Sees here:
http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4954


damn, i wish i wasn't too dumb to write like that! i can't describe shit for shinola. at least i know why i like stuff in what's left of my mind.

i wished he'd talked more about how reverb, fuzz and echo kick ass

i can do that!

joe, in 300 words or less, tell us what reverb, fuzz and echo mean to you on the new oh sees lp!
go!

FUUUUUUCKED!!!

eric pastlame has offically become too big for his skinny little gay britches:

"Had high hopes, but it mostly just sits there. The "hit," "Ruby Go Home," is the high watermark; from then on, however, it's mostly fair-to-middling stuff, and there are a couple of songs that strike me as dead throwaways. Really like 'em live, though."

Yeah, I'm sure I Am Not Marty Feldman could do a lot better...

Master's Bedroom was fantastic. This one is just more bombastic and wild!

conquered this dilemma w/ a back 2 back cd burn of both for the beach and the car...'meat step lively/ghost in the trees' wuz a head turner on the sand last Sunday from the ghetto blaster!

it mostly just sits there.
So out of touch. Sad but maybe we'll see a good set sale out of this.

is anyone else a bigger fan of the OCS/Cool Death of the Island Raider's era stuff??

walk-in psychedelic fatsos
Those guys were great at Memphis in May last year!

Boogiddy...

s anyone else a bigger fan of the OCS/Cool Death of the Island Raider's era stuff??
I really dig that stuff and especially Sucks Blood. The new stuff is great, but I like their spooky folk a lot as well.

they so killed me at gonerfest 5!!! just in case... gonerfest is a music fest that happens every year in september in memphis hosted by the good people at goner records... ;)

What's the name of the song with the flute on it?

From someone who is consistently nonplussed by so much new crap...

I LOVE THIS ONE!!!

I was at that show! Name of the flute song?

I found it.

i just found out i'll be seeing thee oh sees in san francisco on friday!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!

You suuuuuck! I'm dying for a chance to see them, looks like they're hitting a bad ass stride live from what I've seen on YouTube!

thank you! hahaha lol

I'm dying for a chance to see them
GFVI amigo

Too much goin' on in Memphis this summer! Maybe they'll swing down this way before or after, of course the Gamblers won't though. If it were entirely up to me it wouldn't be much of an issue to go twice, but, you know . . .

i just found out i'll be seeing thee oh sees in san francisco on friday!

maybe going to see them in June here in L.A." EH WHO KNOWS?

can't get enough oh sees..
guess they're doing something w/ WFMU and Free Music Archive...here's
a pretty good live show from a month ago + peanut butter oven ++

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Thee_Oh_Sees/

I wish that Larry would join the mp3 download with purchase of vinyl club, because I'm far too lazy to do it myself.

a.h. kraken & submarince races come with free cd's.

The vinyl should be free too. In fact, In THe Red should pay us!

Helluva record. I (and my next door neighbors) have listened to it 3-4 times today. This record reminds me why life is all worthwhile after all.

gonna be leaving sf in a couple hours. at daggerman's place right now. we went and FLIPPED at thee oh sees show friday night. john dwyer dedicated a song to me! these motherfuckers cannot be beat. christine who really doesn't even care about most current bands was up front going berzerk the whole time with me. got loads of pics, but i just used my digital camera instead of the pentax cuz i was sure i'd blow it. also, just went on bought the "zorks tape bruise" lp (weird tinted clear wax!) around the corner from here at grooves, next door to it's tops diner. which by the way was tops! peanut butter and chocolate shake was deadly good.



oh motherfucking sees, motherfuckers.

Please don't tell my parents I had more than three beers tonight, faggot.

john dwyer dedicated a song to me!

HIGH FIVE!

I saw Thee Oh Sees on Saturday @ a roadhouse near Woodland, CA and they went off. My sideburns got a shout out from John Dwyer at the beginning of their set. Chris Woodhouse played a second set of drums on the last two songs. Shit was killer.

We are selling tons of Help, Zork's and the new Woodsist 7". Oh Sees rule. I Am Not Marty Feldman should go back to Chicago. And take Gaylick with him.

I was up front going wild last time they played Glasslands while you were probably back at the homestead, dumping talc in your long johns and typing Bazooka "Matt Drudge of the Message Board Underworld" Joe love letters.

Your Chrome Cranks worship is pretty sad too.

Probably not as sad as the Action Swingers reunion that approximately three people gave half a fuck about. Cue the cute lil' scumrock shittalk, but remember that Bob Bert still has all his hair, asshole.

You come off like an idiot when you bad-mouth bands like The Oh Sees and The Action Swingers. But then again you must be filled with disappointment since you can't have your own great band. You and Elrick are like the remedial students of Rock N Roll. You got it all completely wrong. Now go listen to your Chrome Crank Cd's poseur.

who's matt drudge? i ain't that hip and don't really keep up on alot.

and cecil, i finally realized that ridiculous "review" you wrote for "help" might have actually been a pm you sent to matt v, and not a published opinion. if so, he's dumb for sending it to me, and i'm sorry for posting in public if it was indeed supposed to be private. you're still wrong about the album and deserve to be humilated though.

I need a zork tape bruise.

I posted it publicly, but good god, who cares? I defended the Coachwhips some four years back much in the same way you're currently defending the Oh Sees and the worst songs on their current LP sound like Coachwhips redux with a lesser impact. Big deal. I like the 'em and I just didn't & don't think this LP is the big deal I was led to believe it was but my opinion hardly matters and I wasn't trying to pretend it did. I'll continue to go see 'em anytime they're in town and I won't buy the recs. Hardly a crime. Now continue picking your ass with Ned's false teeth.

the worst songs on their current LP sound like Coachwhips redux with a lesser impact.


but compared to the 99% killers on there (and might i add briliantly sequenced killers) your lack of enthusiasm leads me to believe you have become a crotchety gray haired curmudgeon. new york was apparently the worst move you ever made. you should come down here for a visit and let me and 16 help you out with an attitude adjustement. i think maybe all that hanging out with mike diaper has dampened your happiness.

Pastlame doesn't like it because it's not some limited edition 12" that only he and Mike Stiper know about and is on a label with actual distribution so regular people can buy it too not just creeps who hang out all day in the Academy me'ns room .

Been playin it alot to check if I wasn't trippin'.
I wasn't.
The more I hear it, the more I hate it.
It's not a bad band, but this record sucks ass.

It's Broadway Punk.

you musta got confused when you were looking for records on the NEW RED ARCHIVES label.

back to the Oh Sees, here's Zac quoted in article on Dwyer & HELP!

you musta got confused when you were looking for records on the NEW RED ARCHIVES label.

I was born confused, so nope.
But I just cannot believe this turd of a record does it for you. You must be goin through penopause.
Coachwips records suck too. But not as bad as Help.

All y'all are stoopid.

you're stupid, stupid.



article on Dwyer & HELP!

that about sums it up. i'm gonna post that shit everywhere.

Stupid Stupid?
Hey, tone down or I get my sister to kick yo' ass.


I am playin The Hospitals - Rainy Day a lot.
You should be doin that too.
And if you scream for help, I'll get my sister to save yo' ass.
Deal?

back to the Oh Sees, here's Zac quoted in article on Dwyer & HELP!

Best part of the article!

That medium will be tested again later this year, as Thee Oh Sees already have a full album's worth of material ready for the studio.

There are "show-ers" and "grow-ers" and this'un is definitely in the 2nd category.

(I'm all like...Whaaaat? I'm diggin' it now?)

two measures in and i was hooked

two measures in and i was hooked


that's what it took for me, too, and then it just kept on with these levels and highs and lows and melodies and rhythms and noises and...

The Tidal Wave single is dope. The a-side sounds like it could have been on the Tropicalia comp.

the Eat Skull LP is great too.
http://www.myspace.com/eatskull

Eat Skull record is great! Supposedly they're disavowing it? Huh?

And haven't deciphered "Fuck Eat Skull" on the new In The Red Intelligence record... hmmmmmmmm.

pretty sure jay's doing a split oh sees/ jay reatard single. wheeeeee!

FUCK OCS And anyine whos name startr wiith an L.

"Doyouknowyourenemy!BlaalbalaEnemy,Blablablaenemyblabarf!l

Boy this record is worthwhile. I listen to it all the time and I'm not just saying that.

"zorks tape bruise" lp

Picked one up at Goner this weekend. Haven't gotten to listen to the LP part yet but thoroughly enjoyed the zoned-out sound of the companion CD despite the fact that that freakin' "Kingsmeat" song nearly killed us! My girlfriend was driving and we were all so spaced out from the weekend and the music when she falls asleep at the wheel flying down 78 and drove us off the road into a dramatic slide on the side of the highway!

No harm was done in the end, and in fact, because of that incident I no longer had to answer for any of my shenanigans of the weekend.

I blame Thee Oh Sees for nearly killing us though. Definitely some wizardry on that disk!

You bout to get a cap popped in yo azz

cuz 2pac is still alive and reading the Goner board!

us anyone else a bigger fan of the OCS/Cool Death of the Island Raider's era stuff??
I really dig that stuff and especially Sucks Blood. The new stuff is great, but I like their spooky folk a lot as well.

Sucks Blood provides excellent soundtrack at my weekly D&D game! Gotta get Cool Death now!

Last night Thee Oh Sees and Fresh and Onlys played our little house (The Compound) here in Provo, Utah. It was honestly one of the best nights of my life! Everybody in the bands were super cool, I bought Mr. Dwyer a carnitas burrito, and Deadcityrebel was crowd surfing!

I'm sure DCR himself will be awake sometime this afternoon to tell you all about it...but I just had to add my testimonial to this thread.

DCR - WAKE UP ALREADY!!!! Waitin' all day!

Where's the pics? How long did they play? Will OCS play MY house??!?

the pics are in my camera, and i think they played a goo 30-45 mins. very fun set. john kept walking the dog.
the crowd surfing was accidental. i was trying to get a good shot standing on my couch and lost my balance teetered into the crowd and before i knew it i was surfing. got some good photos of the ceiling.
john kept kissing me on the forehead.
things didn't work out between lady oh see and i, so you'll all be seeing her at gonerfest in a few days.
also, petey dammit may give eric a run for his money in the tucked in shirt dept.
i gotta be honest, fresh and onlys made it tough for me to decide which band i loved more, holy shit. go see these dudes if you can. and buy all of their records.

fresh and only's have alot more in common with thee oh sees soundwise than king tuff, so how come so many people were recommending them to me when i went off about how much i love thee oh sees? also, i've only heard the fresh and only's single on trouble in mind, and that was yesterday. really cool record.

i've only heard the fresh and only's single on trouble in mind, and that was yesterday. really cool record.

so you got your records? - good.

that sure was a sweet package, mah man.

i need to order that shit. got their new lp, haven't listened yet though

Will OCS play MY house??!?

Maybe, or you can move to Utah and be DCR's roommate and see lots of cool bands. Like next month when the Fresh and Only's and Box Elders are coming through!!!

Its been two days since those guys played and I'm still on sort of a high. Thee Oh Sees totally blew my mind, and that new Dog Poison record kicks ass. I got the cd at the show and I love it. Lots of layers and crazy sounds on there, and more flute!!!

more flute!!!
and its different from the flute on help. the dog poison cd rules. fun catchy upbeat shit.

also, fresh'n'onlys grey eyed girl lp is very solid.

Cool Oh Sees video, some familiar faces in there!

I can't believe the drool.

Loved that.
