Quote from: amazonAMAZON on October 13, 2024, 07:06:14 PMNot sure if I mentioned this already, but while digitizing some records I put on my "Sidewalk Begging" flexi. Flexis have notoriously bad sound - better than lathe cuts but worse then a lot of wacky splatters and other record novelties. Sometimes they don't lay flat and they basically play warped. Sometimes you need to tape them on to the platter or a base disc. Sometimes they're just noisy or irreparably wobbly or lack bass.

The "Sidewalk Begging" is easily the best sounding flexi I've ever played. It had to be forced a little bit to fit the spindle, but it gripped the spindle exactly as it should and lay nice and flat. The groove played perfectly and the mix and balance was awesome.

I can't necessarily say it sounded better than the video in high def, but I really enjoyed it.

Flexis wear out after about 40 or 50 plays generally.

I did not have high expectations beforehand but they absolutely killed it last night in a'dam. I have seen trevor dunn play before, but never before did I see him excel and shine as he did last night. I had mostly read about his bass chops, but last night I witnessed it first hand. in my opinion he made every song 10x more interesting. simply loved the ambiance of the songs. no chatter in between, eerie vibes, slow pace: dark and heavy as fuck. highlights were roman bird dog (especially the final bit, with trevor adding vocals), boris and revolve (again, sick bass line during the verse).

I keep laughing at the photos of Trevor on tour wearing his Blackpink baseball hat. I don't know, he sure is a sucker for sexy girl pop music. Britney now Blackpink!

Obviously this thread has made it to 11 pages, but i was thinking today that it doesn't seem like this tour has generated much excitement or conversation here. In fact i often forget it is even still going on. Isn't tonight the last show of the tour.

saw them last week and it was great, not sure if i liked it more than the first time i saw Buzz on acoustic in 2014 but you can tell that Trevor added a lot with his upright bass playing. Personal highlights were Boris and that new song where Trevor does vocals. Buzz didn't talk too much during the whole set but was in a good mood. Bought the flexi 7" with the Dicks cover, a couple of shirts were available too . Only complaint is i wish they played more songs from Gift of Sacrifice

Yeah, the London Halloween show was amazing. I liked it a little more than solo Buzz, and agree would have liked to hear more from Gift Of Sacrifice, but it was excellent. Didn't sem likeit was anywhere near full, which is a shame. Last night of the tour so next to nothing on the merch table, but still more than we've seen in the UK in recent years! Great King Dunn shirt, but only available in L or XL...bought a Large and maybe i'll grow into it. Redd Kross next week so at least i'll have seen melvins...just not all at the same time...

Dude, they were only £10! And yes, where were all the people? Looked like around a quarter full...

the bbs definitely had more active members and various folks who would pop in to contribute to album and tour talk 10 years ago.
