One of the best sets I've seen them play, and so good to see Mike healthy again. Also, Earthless just played an absolutely blistering set, worth keeping an eye out for the video when that posts.

Julie Christmas later showed up in the crowd for Swans, pushed her way to the front, and proceeded to flip off Michael Gira for a solid five sustained minutes.

DEAR RICHARD posted:oh hey, i saw pallbearer/gost on thursday. I saw them with Marissa Nadler and Kayo Dot. They seem to really dig weird lineups. They were already my favorite band, but seeing them live was amazing. I'd been waiting over a year to see them. The only band that's come close to blowing me away as much is Bell Witch. Speaking of Bell Witch, new album teaser today https://youtu.be/Yrc1ch3O9Fs

That's why I said "possible," though it's generally good to believe accusers. Gossip implies that it comes from a third party but the allegations were made by the alleged victim. Benny Profane posted:Julie Christmas later showed up in the crowd for Swans, pushed her way to the front, and proceeded to flip off Michael Gira for a solid five sustained minutes. Also I'm assuming this happened at Psycho Las Vegas? Because I'm talking about the Chicago show with Whores. and Dalek.

His life is pretty much exactly the same. The Glowing Man didn't get the same coverage as the last two albums (it also wasn't as good) and people wrote some thinkpieces but that's it. He doesn't need you to white knight him.

The Glowing Man didn't get the same coverage as the last two albums (it also wasn't as good) and people wrote some thinkpieces but that's it. He doesn't need you to white knight him. yeah, most likely because in the end it was just internet drama. the dark side of social media, some people will always believe any accusation made , since apparently they never bother following what happens afterwards. also i'm not white knighting anyone, just saying that the whole thing was a huge poop throwing fest that would have been better never happened. in the end she admitted there was no "rape" and giras wife says she's admitted as much to her in writing. ps. i'm actually not a fan of the swans comeback stuff, the angels of light is a lot better. to clarify for people who don't know what we're talking about, here's giras statement released after the initial accusation: quote:Eight years ago, while I was still married to my first wife, Larkin Grimm and I headed towards a consensual romantic moment that fortunately was not consummated. As she wrote in her recent social media postings about that night, I said to her, "this doesn't feel right," and abruptly but completely our only intimate encounter ended. It was an awkward mistake. here's grimm's response: quote:This is a perfect example of why we need to have education about consent. In a gentlemanly move he admits the act happened but cannot conceive of himself as a rapist. Thank you Michael Gira for your honesty. This is your truth as you remember it. Unfortunately, this was still rape. I said no to you many times before that day, begged you not to interfere with me sexually, even made it a part of a verbal agreement we had when I signed a contract with you. I asked you to promise that you would never have sex with me. You assured me that I could trust you. That is about as clear a NO as I could ever cry. I asked for this because I had had other experiences in my music career and I KNEW. i know you have a culture of rape in america as well as some unfortunate cases where the supposed victim has gotten caught of lying when accusing someone of rape, so you guys maybe have a hard time putting this thing in perspective.

I just have this weird thing where I'll go through phases of listening to like 2 hour long noisy experimental album bands and think heh enjoy your traditional BORING music normies. Then I realize I don't actually enjoy any of that and go back to listening to more reasonably structured stuff and have a good time. Personal opinion, etc etc. I do like some Swans music but at this point I don't feel like listening to anything like that.

i don't know if you're into like, folk or regular rock but imo giras best albums have been under the angels of light, which is a dark americana sorta band. think 16 hp / woven hand but instead of that old testament feel this one's straight up serial killer dread.

I went on a rollercoaster of emotions: 1) Elder is playing Austin on 10/20! 2) Hmm, better check my calendar to make sure I'll be in town 3) Aw man, I already have something scheduled for that evening 4) It's the Elder show! Because I bought the ticket 3 months ago
