Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven.

Fixed and accurate.

God, facepalm @ me.
I must be tired.

I think I've gotten about 80% of my favorite music from DTF-recommendations, so yeah.. great place, great people.

This thread caused me to check out GY! BE. F#A# Infinity and Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven are bloody masterpieces. F#A# Infinity sounds like, hell, I don't know, someone recorded the music made by the ghost of a city. And LYSFLATH is just so HUGE sounding and epic. Never really got much into post-rock but I love those two albums.

Get the Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada EP next. It's just as good.

That'll be next then. Btw, I've never heard ANYTHING like "The Dead Flag Blues." Such a haunting song.

zxlkho · « **Reply #147 on:** October 02, 2011, 09:32:00 PM »

Dude, you should listen to Skinny Fists more. When I first heard this band I thought F#A# was their best, but Skinny Fists grew on my after like 10 listens and it's probably a top 5 album ever for me now.

Jaq · « **Reply #148 on:** October 02, 2011, 09:36:34 PM »

I haven't gotten to the point where I can determine favorites yet-I'm still at the point of where I'm going "holy shit this band is awesome where have I been all this time"-but Skinny Fists is really good. It's just that Dead Flag Blues sounded so otherworldly, it just grabbed my attention so.

Really, really good band though. I probably should start working through all their various projects too, they sound interesting to say the least.

zxlkho · « **Reply #149 on:** October 02, 2011, 09:40:08 PM »

I just checked out A Silver Mt. Zion the other day and they're pretty good.

Jaq · « **Reply #150 on:** October 02, 2011, 09:47:10 PM »

That's where I was heading next.

Listening to Slow Riot now-HOLY SHIT THIS IS GOOD.

So, I've been listening to Yanqui a bit lately and I think I've come to the conclusion that:

Yanqui U.X.O. >> Lift Yer Skinny Fists...

Every song is pretty much consistently interesting, which is something I can't say about LYSF. My mind tends to wander a bit during that, but still, both really, really great albums

zxlkho · « **Reply #153 on:** October 02, 2011, 10:44:17 PM »

I find it the exact opposite tbh. What makes Skinny Fists so interesting to me is the change in dynamics throughout the songs. It's even interesting in the quiet parts and vocal samples. Yanqui on the other hand doesn't have that dynamic range...

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #154 on:** October 02, 2011, 10:50:31 PM »

All three of their albums are on par on the amazingness scale for me. Yanqui is dragged up greatly by having Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls though, by far my favourite GY!BE song.

zxlkho · « **Reply #155 on:** October 02, 2011, 10:51:08 PM »

Yeah that's definitely the best song on that album.

Yeah, I can see that, but I think the dynamic changes in LYSF results in more 'patchwork' songs.

Maybe I just need to listen to it more. Still, great album.

Yeah it took me like 10 listens to really get it...

I hope the new CD will come out soon.

FretMuppet · « **Reply #160 on:** October 03, 2011, 12:03:38 PM »

What's the new album called again? I remember reading it a couple of weeks ago but now I can't find the source $:-\$

zxlkho · « **Reply #161 on:** October 03, 2011, 12:22:17 PM »

I don't think they've announced a title, just that they're working on new material.

Jaq · « **Reply #162 on:** October 04, 2011, 08:40:49 AM »

Moving on to Yanqui U.X.O.-god I love this band.

bump

Anyway just picked up F#A# infinity

i'm honestly having a really hard time trying to decide if I like this more than LYSFLATH

Anyway this is all I have from them so far but they're fucking amazing

aparadoxindeed · « **Reply #165 on:** January 02, 2012, 12:03:11 PM »

I was definitely a big moment for me when I first listened to GY!BE. I love the dark epic theatrical feel. It's like watching a movie without actually watching a movie.

Listening to Skinny Fists on vinyl...wow.

GUYS

Is it wrong that I want to make sweet, careful love to BFF3 (the song, not the guy)? At first I loved Moya the most and thought I would get tired of the interview in BFF3 but it has grown on me and now it's actually my favorite track along with Sleep (I have to admit I haven't spun Yanqui or F#A# enough to absorb them yet though). I think the samples work beautifully with the music, I love how they grow angrier in tenser moments and then calmer on quieter parts, they really work as an additional instrument in this song.

I'm so glad I bought them all on vinyl, now I just need more alone time at home to be able to give the whole discography a proper vinyl listen.

Zantera · « **Reply #169 on:** April 17, 2012, 12:29:20 PM »

I really need to get them on vinyl. LYSF is first in line.

Maybe it's the alcohol talking, but I'm not really all that excited. *shrug*

Will still listen of course.
