Ravenheart · « **Reply #281 on:** August 02, 2011, 05:36:12 PM »

The Mantle is still my favorite by Agalloch.

Discogs. dude was selling for about half the usual price you see it at. still too expensive, of course, but what one should expect when hunting down the limited run Agalloch stuff!

I'm at the portland show. I can't decide whether our not I wasn't to get the Whitedivisiongrey vinyl. It's $35 and I don't have a way if listening to vinyl but white is really hard to find on cd and grey isn't too common either so I would have it physically way chapter than I could get otherwise.

How's the show? I was going to go, but unfortunately couldn't make it.

Only one opening band had played so far but Sedan was really fucking good.

Appreciate the update. Gutted I couldn't make it.

I am quite jealous as well. Not so much to be, "jelly," but I would like to see them in the future. Hell of an atmosphere, I bet.

zxlkho · « **Reply #292 on:** October 08, 2011, 02:42:35 PM »

I thought you didn't like them.

glaurung · « **Reply #293 on:** October 08, 2011, 03:16:48 PM »

So it turns out there were only 500 copies of this vinyl I got at the show (whitedivisiongrey, basically the white and grey EPs along with bonus tracks). When they were selling them at some shows earlier this year there were copies going for about $150 on ebay and I got it for only $30.

Man you could turn quite the profit if you wanted to. So yeah, anyway...you didn't answer my question.

Not true. I have AATG and love it. Amazing shit.

zxlkho · « **Reply #296 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:34:25 PM »

I remember you saying you hated the growls.

That's awesome that you like it though. It's one of my favorite metal albums.

Heretic · « **Reply #297 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:36:22 PM »

I listened to AATG earlier today and it was really cool, I loved the music. The growls were a bit jarring at first, though.

I was dumb back then.

Now you just need to listen to Sigur Rós and your transformation will be complete.

That was me singing Sigur Ros

zxlkho · « **Reply #301 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:42:28 PM »

Which song is that? Starálfur?

You're really out of tune on those high notes.

Heretic · « **Reply #305 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:45:02 PM »

I listen to Sigur Rós when I feel like being ethereal.

zxlkho · « **Reply #306 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:45:39 PM »

I listen to Sigur Rós when I want to smile in my pants.

73109 · « **Reply #307 on:** October 08, 2011, 07:47:22 PM »

If I want dense, atmospheric, and epic music, I can listen to Aggaloch.

Oh, sorry. They were really good! The highlight was definitely Falling Snow, which is probably my favorite Agalloch song. They didn't talk with the audience much but they (especially Don) were a lot of fun to watch.

Am I the only one that thinks moshing to Agalloch (or in general) is stupid? I was pretty close to the edge of the pit and it was pretty distracting.

73109 · « **Reply #309 on:** October 08, 2011, 09:50:12 PM »

I'd close my eyes and just let the music flow...

No, you're not the only one. I believe in standing at rock shows as you know (Blackfield), but have always hated moshing, even back in my Slayer days.

Glad you had a good show!

We'll have to meet up at a show sometime.

HarlequinForest · « **Reply #311 on:** October 09, 2011, 09:33:58 AM »

Moshing is retarded. I was stuck between two pits at Opeth this week. I wish I could just sit there and listen to the damn music.

Pretty hard to close your eyes when there are a bunch of teenagers slamming into you.

The King in Crimson · « **Reply #313 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:09:14 AM »

Agalloch really doesn't seem like moshing music at all.

"Hey, here comes the atmospheric, acoustic section... LET'S BEAT SOME FUCKIN' HEADS! YEAH!"

zxlkho · « **Reply #314 on:** October 09, 2011, 10:11:48 AM »

Yeah they definitely aren't moshing music... some kids are retarded.
