old, dirge-y Swans[views:1755][posts:9]__________________________________ [Mar 7,2005 12:43pm - litacore ""] I took all my old live Swans CDs, put them to repeat play in my CD carousel, and fell asleep to them Saturday night and now all I can hear is repeated clangs and minimalism everywhere. I want to sulk and brood and creep along the streets like Gollum. 80's-era Swans make Khanate sound like Wham>:] |

| __________________________________ [Mar 7,2005 12:47pm - litacore ""] not sure you'd like it, but it's so fucking DARK, it's like listening to a black ritual you may hear the Type-O similarities, Gira's voice is super deep like Pete's |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2005 5:49pm - dunwich nli ""] The only album that I own is Public Castration Is A Good Idea which is interesting but definately an aquired taste and nothing I could listen to all the time. I borrowed a tape from a friend of mine (I think it's Children of God?) which sounded ok from the few times I heard it...totally different from PCIAGI though. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 8,2005 10:41am - Phil E ""] I think FEEL GOOD NOW is a great live set, from the best era. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 16,2005 12:37pm - litacore ""] I played my bass really loud last night for the first time in like a year, I was trying to emulate 'Cop' that was fun. Just pure aggression and open strings. Notes, sch-motes |
