It's my least favorite GYBE album, that being said it's pretty good.

Yeah, bad GY!BE is still like 8/10

Been listening to the new one nonstop since it came out and it hasn't gotten old yet. Definitely gonna say it's their second best after Skinny Fists

Very valid points. I have not got a physical release of GY!BE since Yanqui UXO, but the latest is probably the one to break the trend.

Also, to be fair, the price includes all taxes and fees (which can usually double the face value), and two meals a day on the performance days.

The name of the event makes me think of a hipster Camp Candy. I'd watch that cartoon.

So attendees are on their own for dinner? I'm guessing there will be stuff like food trucks there to gouge the captive audience.

Camp Caspian got canceled due to lack of ticket sales. I wonder if it was because of the price.

Wasn’t it tent camping at cabin-camping prices? It being tent camping at that price point was honestly pretty hosed up. I’ve been to lots of events at that price, but that was cabin and food included. This appeared to be just an insanely expensive camping ticket with food options? Yeah that’s a hard pass.

They should have just played a set in the Poconos of they wanted that rich PA money, like when the Chainsmokers played that superspreader for all the rich kids last fall.

Yep. I understand they'd be different experiences, but they were charging the same as like Bonnaroo for 7 bands and lol

I’m sure lots of people would, but not at that completely absurd price point. You have to understand that compared to basically any other event that size and style they were asking for over double what you could expect from a bigger event.

Like at that price I’m expecting a bed, hot food, and some kind of amenities like a pool or something, ive been to lots of stuff like that.

A couple years ago I picked up Jakob's Subsets of Sets remaster from Bandcamp. Great album, has a real energy that they have not captured on any of their other LPs, imo. It's almost... upbeat on a lot of tracks, I dare to say, which is very different from their usual aural tragedy MO. Around that same time, something else I realized I enjoy is watching travel videos (on mute) while listening to music. Especially new-to-me music. It typically gives something neutral to look at while mindfully listening, but rarely, a magical combination occurs. I don't remember if this was the exact video I was seeing when I hit play on Subsets for the first time (as there are multiple videos on the travel channel with the same motif), but it is similar and works pretty well.

1. Load the album version of Drive Here and Then (1st track from Subsets) from whichever source you please. Pause if it autoplays and move slider to 0:00

2. Load this video, mute volume, start at 1:26. Normal speed.

3. Unpause Jakob track and let it play. Enjoy.

New Mono album coming out on September 17th, titled Pilgrimage of the Soul. First track, "Riptide" is available and I'm really digging it :

I'm listening to it now and it's definitely making me miss seeing them live. It's been a few years since the last time I saw them. setlist.fm says it was 2017. It's been too long :(

I saw them open for Shellac in 2016 (?), and they blew Shellac off the stage. Different styles but still.

Isn't Shellac Steve Albini's band? That's a rather odd pairing.

Last time Jakob played in NA, they opened for Tool.

Albini records most of their albums. I think they were in Chicago to record with him, then left on a short Midwest tour with his band.

I was living in Philly at the time and was just smoking weed in my room and wondered if 65DOS was touring… the Robert Smith show had been in Philly literally the night before.

Somehow I think I missed that 65dos released a new album in 2019? Or maybe I listened to it and forgot it. Listening to it now and it's not very memorable :(

I miss when 65dos were making loving jams. Radio Protector is the song I always credit with getting me to pick up the keyboard. That song still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

I remember back in high school I was making a bunch of mix CDs, both for myself and other people. Drove Through Ghosts was for sure on one of those, as was Mean Low Water:

Hm, I've been thinking in recent years that there might be some overlap in musicality between Post-punk, Shoegaze/Dream Pop, and Post-rock. Like, a triple-circle Venn Diagram. I definitely hear aspects of Slowdive when I listen to Jakob, for example.
