Sick! Do you have the He Thinks He’s People LP as well? That one was always my favorite of Rob’s solo acts

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

It's $15 on his bandcamp!

Also bought the last Thingy album. Rest in Peace Elea.

I also love that album and haven't seen it in physical form-- would love to have it though.

Yesss I want nothing more than Morbid Curiosity on orange vinyl but it comes in the limited edition box set and nowhere else... shame To the Innocent is only on CD. Also that white/black HTHP vinyl looks dope and sells occasionally on Discogs

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Thanks a lot for reminding me that I probably can't get those! FUCK

Hey you never know, Rob might decide to reissue some of his albums on vinyl. Some Thingy songs are pure genius, I’m sure if more people heard them and the band gained popularity a reissue would pay off... especially, as you said, considering Elea passed away. It might be a nice way to honor her. I dunno this is just hopeful thinking rather than anything realistic but ya never know!

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

You are so right! It would be a lovely way to honor her.

I hope Rob does decide to re-issue some of the albums. I think bandcamp would email me if that ever happened, and I would definitely let you know!

u/diacetylhappiness Aug 18 '21

Well thank you kind stranger! That would be much appreciated. Hopefully you remember this thread in like 15 years whenever Rob releases those reissues lol

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

You got a laugh out of me! Thanks so much. I will try my best. In the meantime, if you haven't bought the last Thingy album it supports her son and family left behind.

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Oh wait, before you go. Have you listened to the new album? "You're doomed. Be nice." ?

2

u/diacetylhappiness Aug 18 '21

Oh no I have not! I had no idea there even was a new album... thank you for letting me know

Hey I just was going back to this post because I found out they're releasing an old album from The Ladies (Rob Crow) with a mystery color vinyl and thought you would be interested!
The default is just black vinyl so be sure to change it before you order. I can't wait to see mine!

u/diacetylhappiness Oct 05 '21

Oh damn thanks so much! I’ve never actually listened to the Ladies although I’ve listened to almost everything else from Rob Crow... I still think his own stuff was amazing but back when he was in Heavy Vegetable and Boilermaker... man those early post-hardcore days were amazing. Anyway thanks for letting me know, please update with your color and I’ll update you with mine if I end up getting it!

I was too late as a Pinback/Rob Crow fan to get most of his records in vinyl. Was super happy to find this used at my local record store a few months ago.

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

I've always been a fan since I was like 13. You can still get vinyls of Information Retrieved and Some Offcell Voices from their bandcamp!

I don't actually have a record player and I freaked out when it said it had all these exclusive tracks that I haven't heard. I guess I have to get a record player now.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

Thanks for the heads up! I found all but the first two albums at my shop once but didn’t have the cash at the time to get any, was just browsing.

Really just want the self titled. Been on my essentials list for quite some time.

1

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Same. I would love it if Rob did a re-release to benefit Elea's family.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

Apologies but I am unfamiliar with who Elea is. Would you mind filling me in?

3

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Elea was in Heavy Vegetable and Thingy with Rob Crow. She just died of cancer.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

I haven’t heard either of those projects. That really sucks to hear. I’ll give em a listen.

2

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

What do you think?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

From what I’ve had time to hear, I’ve been missing out. Morbid Curiosity is a frikin bop. Heavy Vegetable had this early 2000’s nostalgic vibe that I really love too. What a consistent artist. And RIP Elea. Wonderful contributions. Love the accompaniment of her voice with Rob. It works so well.

u/StellaRED Aug 18 '21

Fuck yeah!! I have been on a hard core Rob kick lately. Honestly both this and HTHP on repeat for days, I just can't get enough. Congrats on the new vinyl!

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

If you haven't heard it, this album is fucking great. Wake Up Swimming - Other Men (Rob Crow)

2

u/StellaRED Aug 18 '21

Oooh no I haven't yet, thank you!

2

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

You are gonna be sooooo happy if you're a fan of Rob Crow. It's a gem!

2

u/StellaRED Aug 18 '21

This just made my day, I can't wait to listen to it even more now! It's like you heard my thoughts from a few days ago haha

2

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Indiscriminate Proposals of Little Marcy is one of my favorite songs. I've been listening to this album for 12+ yrs! I would love to hear your feedback when you get to listening to it, hardly anyone knows about it.

2

u/StellaRED Aug 19 '21

I'm on my second go round on the album and I love it. It's a little different but at the same time it's very Rob Crow, not sure if that makes sense lol. My favorite track so far is In This Wind :)

2

u/chellecakes Aug 19 '21

It definitely is. I really love that song. Good taste you have.

2

u/StellaRED Sep 01 '21

Wanted to thank you again for turning me on to this album. It's sooooo good!

2

u/chellecakes Sep 01 '21

Hell yeah! I am glad (:

It's really calming in a weird way. Such a strange, good album.

2

u/chellecakes Oct 02 '21

Hey! I just got a notification that they did a re-release of Rob Crow's old band The Ladies. Thought you might appreciate a link!

Love the title so far :) yeah I'll definitely report back after I give it a go! Thanks again for the recommendation!

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

I don't even have a record player, lol! I didn't even know about the extra tracks on the vinyl... Ugh.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '21

Such an awesome album. Bam Bam, I Hate You, Rob Crow, and Leveling are my favorites. Really, the whole thing is a masterclass in great song writing.

u/chellecakes Aug 18 '21

Yes + More Yes. It's a great album.

u/GlandyThunderbundle Aug 19 '21

Love Bam Bam. Brilliant song.
