why? - Alopecia (march 2008)

knomadix  said about 4 years ago  or at  12:15PM on Monday, January 7 2008 in music

You know the deal.. one part of cLOUDEAD, Reaching Quiet, Greenthink, Hymies Basement

why? seems to be continually getting better with each new release. If the single 'the hollows' is anything to go by this next one will be no different.

Aussie tour???

the cover of 'Close to Me' up on Pitchfork is the sauce! Now to get the album...


trafficsounds  said about 4 years ago:

hey carlos, does your mp3 of close to me have this weird glitchy noise all over it? i don't mind how it sounds but wondering if mine was a dodgy download or somethin?

Lucky!


carlos esq  said about 4 years ago:

Hey traff, I think there's meant to be a layer of fuzz/glitch over it. Didn't really notice it at first but, yeaah, I really like it.


Orange Julius  said about 4 years ago:

can someone put the new album in gmail?


djbollocks  said about 4 years ago:

This should be good. Why? is easily the best of the ex-cLOUDDEADers.


trafficsounds  said about 4 years ago:

this new album is amazing now there's a name for that amazing vibraphonic piece i saw on youtube a year ago too 'a sky for shoeing horses under'.


djbollocks  said about 4 years ago:

Don't know if I like it as much as Elephant Eyelash but I'm sure it'll grow on me like that album did.


Orange Julius  said about 4 years ago:

lots of love for this new album.


trafficsounds  said about 4 years ago:

Oh damn - didn't realise Andrew was from Fog. Would have said something nice to him while he was rollin' up a doob backstage.

''they were the highlight of saturday. and it wasn't just because an insanely hot woman with awesome shoulders and killer foils was dancing next to me the whole time.''

Don't lie, Jose. I saw her and the way she looked at you. Did she end up meeting you at the cigarette shop in the Pink Flamingo at 8 o'clock?


whale  said about 2 years ago:

if i was closer to the stage, i would have requested fog songs.

Yoni is fucking hot. So much eye candy at the East last night. sigh.

Yeah, I know who you had your eye on Lilo...

Yeah, well, DITTO.


bigdaddykane  said about 2 years ago:

I woulda gone to this had I not had the Terrible Tuesdays.

Don't they realise that after Meredith, alot of us are out of commission until Thursday? See the sights, take a day off, watch some Kerry Anne and CHILL, that's what I've been doing.


feralmedia  said about 2 years ago:

They were talking about how some of them really wanted to move to Melbourne. But, you know, once they arrive back home they'll probably forget about it.


tadatadatada  said about 2 years ago:

well, hopefully they'll tour again in a year or so.
the set felt like a greatest hits show, it was crazy


jimm  said about 2 years ago:

No 21stC, but still awesome.

I could hear the shouts for it but you got drowned out by the Hollows people.

I expected them to be looser and there to be heaps of banter but instead it was just great performance of song after great performance of song. Awesome gig!

Starting with the opening track of Alopecia, followed by the opening track of Eskimo Snow was pretty damn great.

the set felt like a greatest hits show, it was crazy

So True!


whale  said about 2 years ago:

yoni's such an entertainer. judging by his demeanor in that mockumentary, he seems to go into this fairly intense character onstage.


carlos esq  said about 2 years ago:

Yeah, so unfortunately I didn't make it to any Why? shows but I found the Hymie's Basement 2xLP in Newcastle yesterday for $14. What do you people think of this release? I've only had a quick listen to Side A and it seems rad, especially the first song.


whale  said about 2 years ago:

it's my favourite yoni wolf related album. andrew broder and yoni balance and level each other out perfectly.


josejones  said about 2 years ago:

oh, i'm gonna get this tomorrow. the stuff i've heard online sounds great!


poofpoof  said about 2 years ago:

''What do you dream of while I tongue you down''

Malkmus has been stood down as the hottest song writer


whale  said about 2 years ago:

it's even better than that: ''What do you dream up while i tongue you down''


anok  said about 2 years ago:

first cLOUDDEAD record is the only thing of his i dig. oh and the guest spots on hood's cold house. that was him, right?


poofpoof  said about 2 years ago:

simeon's dilemma should become the new auld lang syne of the 21c

'stalker's my whole style, and if i get caught i'll deny'.

that's so 21c beer song.

'you're the only proper noun i need'. true grammar nazi romance.

such a great song. my fav on alopecia


trafficsounds  said about 2 years ago:

yoni solo daytrotter live set featuring eskimo snow songs


whale  said about 2 years ago:

they're so so sad stripped down


yoghurt  said about 2 years ago:

almost brings a tear to the eye.
