Scumbutt@ancient_catbus I know Tamaryn did some work on the Dum Dum Girls Too True album. I miss Tamaryn. I hope she does more stuff someday.
Tony@ancient_catbus that's an absolute banger though, so I feel this is acceptable
Hoochie Daddy moved to mas.to@ancient_catbus I feel like beaucoup bands were sampling that drum loop in the 90s. Maybe the original was from Schooly D’s “P.S.K. - What Does It Mean?”?
Schoolly D - P.S.K. 'What Does It Mean'?
Bram Meehan@ancient_catbus A while back I was asked my favorite Steely Dan song and I stammered my way to this — which I still stand by — but in doing so, realized there's no good answer to that question, only what kind of weirdo you want to be labeled as.
@BramMeehan it's an unanswerable question, too many right answers and it changes with my mood lol
this one is definitely S Tier tho
@ancient_catbus such a classic
Vegetable Gremlin ⍼👻@ancient_catbus posting straight outta vh1
reversion to the deoradh™@ancient_catbus From one of the truly great albums
"Last night, I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray
I've had this fever now since yesterday
Wake up darling, they're knocking
The colonel's standing in the sun
With his stupid face, the glasses, and the gun"
@ancient_catbus omg I was so obsessed with this album. I played it all the time and was mesmerized by the art direction on the album cover. Still have it
@ancient_catbus my BIL gave us this album, not sure if we still have it or if it was one of those ones we sold to make ends meet
@SarahKite still have my CD, was never lucky enough to score it on vinyl
elle mundy@ancient_catbus incredible song, i first discovered it on a 4AD comp called “lilliput”
@exchgr 4AD compilations were always 🔥🔥🔥
whothewu@ancient_catbus I love Dead Can Dance. I found out about them via the Gladiator soundtrack of all things.
@whothewu cool, yah they used to be this very very niche band but Lisa Gerrard's soundtrack work got them well deserved exposure
@ancient_catbus the live version of “Cantara” from the Toward the Within album is probably my favorite. Just incredible passion in her singing.
Arthur Wyatt@ancient_catbus thank you (one half of) Lords of Acid.
Roselia De Lescrime@ancient_catbus incredible movie. incredible theme song.
@roselialescrime still the greatest video game adaptation
campbell@ancient_catbus That whole album is just on another level
Mungus@ancient_catbus in college I got stoned and watched the music video and the visual effects blew my mind
