A lot of fans rate it the best—I certainly do—but it's not like they've produced a bum record. Earlier stuff is more musique concrète oriented, but Allelujah marked a shift to more "song-oriented" work. I'd recommend Yanqui UXO and Luciferian Towers as the next two to sample (Yanquiu was the first record of theirs I heard and it just grabbed my imagination). But I knew you'd recognize your interests and tastes in them. Best fucking band in Canada.

I'm surprised it hadn't been recommended to me before, I can hear a lot of my own work in it. Lots of high-concept, lengthy tracks with mood-noise bookending. Is most of their stuff this good, or was this by far their best?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑15 Jan 2021, 4:45pmThat, too. But being old means practicing more.
Ooof. Glad that you're still employed, but sorry that you're bearing the brunt of that loss of co-workers.I'm expecting a similar hangover tomorrow morning. Since my org laid off a bunch of people (including my dev partner) there seems to be a deficit of understanding that I'm the only dev on the team now. I'm going to need to get completely hammered tonight to get over the stress of people asking why things are taking so long, when they are the ones piling the projects and deadlines on me.
(You should listen to Godspeed tonight. )

The best Canadian band is April Wine.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Not even April Wine's parents like them.

I have no favourite Canadian bands. That isn't getting at Canada, they just have no good bands.

Very few good bands, I will grant you.
