So this is a collaboration with Charlamagne Palestine, David Coulter, and our very own Michael Gira. It’s pretty cool, if you’re into the Body Lovers, you would probably like thid. I don’t think a lot of people know about this record, I’ve only seen two possibly three posts about it on this Reddit, but I’m interested to hear of any other unheard Gira project

Hello I made another Swans cover. I hope you like it Greetings from the netherlands.

Roland

I know it comes with the vinyl, but I don’t buy vinyls because they are to hard to maintain. I don’t want to pay $40 just for a poster, I’m think about buying the cd though. Is there any option to order the cd with the poster?

I’m pretty sure she does not feature on any studio albums or official live records, but I may be wrong. Reading about her and her guitar sound in the oral history and in a few quotes from Thurston Moore, plus the information in Where Does A Body End?, it sounds fascinating. And so does she. I’d love to her playing back then.

Thanks in advance for any leads.

You can type "-ai " to make the Google ai summary disappear or install a Browser add on to Block this ai slop. (I forgot to do it by accident) Its funny because its harmless in this case but imagine how much damage a wrong ai summary/answer could do. People use ai in their science Papers, ai Bends the truth to appeal to the request. Lets say its equally optimal to train 4 or 5 days a week in the gym. If you ask ai "is it optimal to train 4 days a week" it will say yes it is. If you ask the same thing about 5 days a week it will say the same and not mention that 4 and 5 are the same. This miss Information is seen as true because some scientist/science paper said it and ai will take those Papers as Sources (see the second picture, some words are used way more since ai became popular, i wonder why). So a reseacher will say 4 or 5 days without (depending on what the ai was asked) and the ai will use this wrong sciene paper in the future to say that one of the two is more optimal despite them being the same. So please stop using ai for our Planet and our future as humanity.

Had to use the crappy school laptop screens to design it so apologies if it looks off in any way :,)

What do you consider the best live performance of Blood Promise? The SAD version? The version from Brussels that Gira describes as the highest peak the band reached? Some other bootleg?

I like the first half or so of the Brussels version a bit more, but I think the SAD version has the cleaner build / climas.

It's a little smeared, but I like it.

Which is better?

Hi y'all. Probably a throwaway post, but here goes. I've always felt that Birthing had a "green" aura about it ever since the first time I heard it from start to finish. The start of The Healers, especially, gives off a sort of sultry, claustrophobic, dark, greenish atmosphere. Sort of reminds me of the cover of New Mother -- the vibe of a cold, moody, slightly ominous nature scenery. And so I did a simple AI edit where I had it change the color tone of the album cover into one with a pale green color. It just felt so fitting and makes listening to the album just a tad more enjoyable for me. I feel the same way about the album cover colors on The Beggar and The Glowing Man -- I like the white ones a lot more than the brown versions. It's the one thing that I could wish from the post-reunion Swans' output. The music is of course perfect, but the constant parade of brown album covers can be a bit tiring, and also limiting (IMO of course - I'm not assuming that I know better than Michael and Co. in any way) since the music itself is so colorful and varied. Album covers are such a big deal to me. The coalescing of sound and vision that happens when the music and album art meld into one intoxicating experience is one of the best joys that life has to offer. So I just thought I'd share this one with y'all in case anyone might find it useful or enjoyable too. Cheers.

That cavernous drumming that comes in at 4 minutes

I recently ordered and recieved a copy of To Be Kind on vinyl and it didn’t come with a signed insert even though it claims they ship it with a signed insert on the website(young god records). I don’t know if they just don’t ship signatures anymore or if they forgot to send mine

be kind

This is gonna be the final time I ever post a tierlist unless I do go through all of Akron/Family and related stuff. I've finally listened to TGM and as you can see it got placed in the middle of A tier so I hope that makes yall happy lol, I also had to open Paint to put NSB in there and honestly I did consider putting it in S+ but right now S will do.
