Riding the subway. It needs some febreeze in a bad way.
I have heard Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished and Danse Manatee and Here Comes the Indian.
In comparison, the album Feels appears to much more tame and well composed than the above, whereas before it appears as though the band seemed to be intravenously dosing themselves with near lethal quantities of LSD and/or pituitary juice. Would you agree?

I just learned recently that he was an original member of Television.
Guitarist/singer Tom Verlaine, drummer Billy Ficca and bassist/singer Richard Hell first appeared together as the Neon Boys. Hell and Verlaine were childhood friends who had moved to New York together in 1972 with the intention of starting a band. The group lasted from late 1972 to early 1973. A posthumous 7" featuring "That's All I Know (Right Now)" and "Love Comes in Spurts" was released in 1980.
I really am not aware of many of the bands mentioned in this and other threads, much to my loss I'm sure. It gives due respect to the members of RHP that you don't see many references to the media darlings like The Killers, Incubus or other redundancies that I here on mainstream radio.

But I'm surprised you've heard the obscure three while you haven't heard the AMAZING "Sung Tongs" which is much more along the lines of Feels and is just as incredible.
Originally posted by darvlayIt just so happened that those three were more easily available than Sung Tongs at the time, so I've yet to get that album. I haven't even heard it yet, but it's on my list.

Originally posted by hopscotchYeah, the three albums you mentioned are very hit and miss. Not worth purchasing and only a few songs off each that you can consider as enjoyable.

Originally posted by RagnorakNah, it's designed to make you feel a bit sick. I guess I just enjoy floating in their nauseating sea of sound.
I'm half way through my first listen of Feels
I have to say it isn't what I was looking for: melodic, upbeat choons. Maybe I have to listen to it some more times?

Originally posted by EsotericI know what you mean, the 'Open and Close' bit wasn't that same without Cut Chemist doing it.
G Love is great to watch. I saw him on tour with Jack Johnson and they did a Sublime medley. Was awesome.
Saw J5 about two years ago and they were amazing. Don't know how i feel about them since Cut left. Their new album is missing something. I remember the set Cut Chemist and Numark did in the middle of the show and it blew me away.
Hey check out Katalyst. I reckon you would like him. Great producer.
Will check out Katalyst - cheers.
