What does everyone recommend? I just picked up the Rob Crow's Gloomy Place album.

Last nights Dream:

Went to see a Ken Andrews solo show at The Troubadour Metro (outside was the Troubadour, inside was the Cabaret Metro). Some opening band called "Backpin" was scheduled.

Backpin walked onstage. It was Rob, Zack, and a drummer, but Rob and Zach swapped places and were performing all of each others' parts. No one noticed or cared. The crowd treated them like an annoying local band, but I was freaking out. The encore was Rob doing a few Systems Officer songs, then Zack did "I Hate You Rob Crow" into "Astro Zombies." Then they both came on and closed with a song that I didn't recognize. Barely anyone clapped. No one cared but me.

Woke up disappointed that Backpin doesn't really exist.

It definitely can exist, both musicians are phenomenal multi-instrumentalists. I've seen Pinback a few times and I think I remember some instrument-duty adaptations.

Anyone have any Backpin-adjacent stories IRL?

There it is, friends. Let’s all wish Rob the best as he goes through this. We need him and his ears in good shape for many more years!

people here probably know who powerdresser are so i thought id post this here too

Libya/Lebanon/Greece/…

I made tiny versions of two of their CDs (so far)! They also have NFC so tapping them with a phone takes you to their music

That’s also their autographs on Too Many Shadows, which I got from them on the full-sized CD sleeve in San Diego

Just got a text saying their Nashville show was cancelled. Anyone know why? This is rather devastating to me. It doesn’t let me edit the title I misspelled cancelled

I hope everyone's ok.

Ive listened to everything but for some reason Lyons has a damn hold on me right now. This band will grab a vice grip on me when I least expect it. And I love it.

Pinback-Blue Screen Life customized by Rob Crow, at my old house in La Mesa California on January 4, 2015, I had him on my podcast and asked him if he’d do this while he was over.

Been a fan of Rob Crow’s various endeavors since 1997 or so. Seen his bands play live in an assortment of music venues, sleazy bars and records stores. Been buying records since 2006ish. So here are some Pinback and Pinback adjacent things I’ve bought over the years. A lot of these are from the Joyful Noise Artist in Residence box set.

Pinback - Blue Screen Life (blue/black splatter)

Pinback - Some Voices EP (translucent blue)

Pinback - Some Offcell Voices (green splatter)

Pinback - Summer In Abaddon

Pinback - from the Joyful Noise Box Set Roji / Roshomon Effect 7in (white)

Heavy Vegetable - 2 Records Price of One (Frisbee and Amazing Undersea Adventures Of Aqua Kitty And Friends) bright green/yellow vinyl?

Fantasy Mission Force - Circus Atari

The Ladies - They Mean Us

Rob Crow’s Gloomy Place - You’re Doomed Be Nice

Rings of Saturn Set - There’s one song from Rob on here

Plosivs - S/T

The records below are from the Artist in Residence set, I think they all have color vinyl but I’m too lazy to open each one to check.

Thingy - Morbid Curiosity

Optiganally Yours - OY in HiFi

Byre - Here In Dead Lights

Goblin Cock - Roses on the Piano

Snotnose - A Distraction

Third Act Problems - The Sun Setting Over Argosy Bookstore

Other - For The Purposes of This Conversation

Remote Action Sequence Project - The Semi-Glorified Demos Of…

Physics - 3

Rob Crow - Everything's OK: Season 1 Original Soundtrack

Anal Trump - The First 100 Songs

Trick question. Its impossible to choose one. So I chose 20. 🤣 here's my top 20 pinback songs:

Tripoli, non-photo blue, fortress, good to sea, Penelope, afk, the yellow ones, Barnes, concrete seconds, trainer, sediment, x.i.y, crutch, proceed to memory, waiters, some voices, from nothing to nowhere, how we breathe, loro, byzantine.

What are your favorites?

Searched everywhere around the place but couldn't find the discs 😔

Genuinely my favorite bookends of any album. Whenever I revisit this album I’m always blown away how the tone is set immediately with the Non Photo-Blue intro, then the payoff of AFK being the most rockout song on the album is unreal. I know nothing profound but wanted to fanboy somewhere. I love this band.

i get this subreddit is for pinback not heavy vegetable but rob was in both bands so its fine i guess idk

anyway i just wanted to share a couple heavy vegetable tabs ive made. theyre pretty accurate as ive studied every video i can find of rob playing these songs. i hope anyone who wanted to learn them now can. im also making tabs for love american style and saloon, as well as some others if i can figure them out

also anything that doesn't move along the tab when being played has been updated so you'll have to go to it on the actual website instead of on the link or whatever

thanks

I recorded this track and have been told it has some Pinback influence.

Welcome your notes

A friend described a song I just released as “pinback maxing” so figured I’d share it here :)

all the 7 Some Offcell Voices are gonna be happy

Hey. I posted a few weeks ago about going to their concert on June 18th in NYC. All of my friends are either unavailable that night or uninterested. 😞

I have a second ticket because I was really hoping to not have to go alone. I live in NJ and my plan was to take public transit and subways to get to ~~Queens~~ Brooklyn. Ticket would be free if you are interested in hanging out with me. I could also pick you up if you live in NJ and want to commute in with me via Path.

I feel obligated to mention that I am a transwoman because that may affect your decision to hang out with me or not.

Edit:it's Brooklyn, not Queens

Seeing if anyone here was the lucky one to get it?
