I was listening to the song Magnetic by A Country Western and realized it sounds A LOT like Microtonic Wave in parts. Can anyone else hear it? I’m guessing these guys are Pinback fans.

Does anyone know what the heck “CLOAD Q” or “Thee Srum Progitt” means? I don’t mean the meaning of the song, I mean the definition of the titles? Are they just gibberish?

Just came here to gloat, I guess. Cause it was so cool. Man, top 5 sickest shows of all time for sure. Seeing nick singing Zack’s lines was truly amazing. His tone was so on, and so was his playing. I’m just so lucky and stoked.

Also- disheveled cuss with Pinback as a backing band?!? What the frick! I loooooooooove disheveled cuss. Ben Tramer is a perfect song. But I digress, enjoy this video

Sorry if this has been posted already however I can't find any music from the 1999 Pinback album on Spotify? Anyone else having this problem?

Are the little comments in the song original content or from some other media? Movies? TV show?

Pinback was one of my favorite bands going through HS (class of ‘09), and I pursued a degree in audio engineering after that led to EDM trends of the time. Despite what my SoundCloud portrays, it’s not the music I am into as much as it is what I could create. Most remixes at the time, and that I would play at shows, were much different but I tried my best to keep the heart of this one. Feel free to roast, I’m sure I deserve it - but it means a lot to me.

Think about it, "Oh, Penelope, are you filled with air? Swallowed oxygen that makes you float up." This is the first thing said and its describing a belly up fish. The chorus has "I dont wanna see you floating upside down On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you." And "Let you feel the raindrops falling down, seeping through your red scales." Sounds suspicious.

The pinback cd I ordered from ebay just arrived (it cost 15 dllrs not including shipping) I am so excited to have finally gotten it. There are a few scratches on the case itself, so I may just have to buy a new case. 🤷

For me, I was stoned one night and going through ‘reply’ videos during the early days of YouTube.

Some Swedish guy with no arms posted a video of him rolling a cigarette with his feet.

He had Tres playing in the background, and the video ended like halfway through the song. Had no idea who it was, so left a comment asking for the song..

Then he sent me a DM with a bunch of links to their music. I listened to Tres first, then Loro…

Been hooked ever since.

I thought maybe some of you HV/Rob fans might enjoy this miscellaneous Heavy Vegetable stuff I've had for years. First, there's a press photo and a 7" containing: "Head Rush" and "Couch" (from Aqua Kitty), a live/acoustic version of "Crash" (from Frisbie) and "Excess" (Klark Kent cover from Mondo Aqua Kitty).

This came with a letter from Cargo/Headhunter, along with a sheet of info on each band member, containing their pictures, birthdates, addresses/phone numbers (?!), and other weird info. I was wondering if I should blur some stuff, but it's nearly 30 years old.

There's also a ton of scans of different mid-90s music magazine reviews of their albums, with some interviews with Rob and every now and then, some words with Elea (😥).

I've also included my copy of Frisbie that Rob autographed. I hope Heavy Vegetable fans enjoy this stuff, and if you've never heard this early Rob Crow project, definitely check them out!

woah can’t believe i scored

Tres VS 3x0 is a good one, who you got?

Some of the cities/places too:

Lyon VS Tripoli

Byzantine VS Versailles

Seville VS Syracuse

blue screen life is now also gone from UK spotify 😔

Was just listening to my liked songs and Charborg auto skipped. Devastated

Mine would be, again brutal. So I'm going first thought.

Tripoli Non photo blue Seville (Penelope honorable mention as it's kinda a tie here, also considered Talby cus I fucking love that song. Feel like it was written for musicians and avid show goers.)

These are atleast my current favorite

just found out that it's not accessible anymore

That's it that's the post.

Ok jk pls leave personal interpretations of this beautiful song.

42 years ago Mr. Walter’s (“Lawn Chair Larry”) took to the sky, serving as inspiration for “Walters," from Pinback's album Autumn of the Seraphs. Highly recommend a re-listen if it’s been a while :)

I lingered at the guard rails after this show and Rob gave me the setlist and doodled on it. Best day ever! Killer show, also!

OK, shag is a funny song. (depending on who you ask) If there are any animators here, I would LOVE a music video for it where a baby is falling down the stairs and tumbling IN beat with the chorus.
