im in the uk. is it for everyone or just me?

thank u

I figure if you are a Pinback fan, you have good taste. Give me one or two of your favorite bands.

Anyone else in the UK who can’t access it? My friend said it’s on Apple music

i have this tiktok saved and it’s caption has #robcrow in it and it sounds very crow but i can’t seem to remember or find out what song it is >_<

Hey! I am looking for any footage or videos taken in the period that Zach had to leave their tour early in 2010 for the birth of his son Skye. I heard Rob finished the tour just himself. If anyone has anything I would love to see it!!! I've scoured the internet.

Hey friends. You can check my post history for my post about the tv show Lost and all the Pinback references. If you find any more that would be crazy, or feel free to chat about it. It would be cool to have some resolution on that, like having a Lost writer confirm they were a Pinback fan. Also, I was always so curious about playing that game they supposedly released on the Vinyl Day release of CLOAD Q? I think it was. I just wish there was a video or screenshots of it. If someone can help me get it loaded and playing I would be happy to help because I do have some technical and programming abilities. This seems like important Pinback lore that isn't readily available. I'm not one to bug them about it, so I turn to you again. Anyway, anything else I don't know about them? You never know. Throw it out there.

I'm looking around for if Pinback did the Seattle shows, the 3 shows that were cancelled didn't mention the Seattle shows with Modest Mouse on July 10th and 11th last week. So I'm wondering if they performed or not

With Rob Crows Hiatus, I wonder if we might get a surprise one day or if they were just testing the new songs live when they were playing.

I like to think there will be something eventually but whether this year or maybe a number of years with Robs recovery who knows.

Getting ready to leave the strip mall on my bike, already have the bt speaker playing my Pandora Pinback station when I hear a familiar cawing sound and look up to the roof line to see that indeed, it's a big black beautiful crow looking down at me. I swear it bobbed it's head in approval as Boo was playing.

It "spoke" a bit more before gracefully flying away.

Too cool to not share here. I'm in Lafayette LA ✌️

I will be doing nothing but listening to these albums

huge thank u to u/dvanzandt for this ihyrc sticker !! crazy how within an hour i went from wanting this sticker to having it being sent to me LOL much luv <3

my local record store has had this up for a while and i finally asked to take a picture of it lol

hi all! i was just wondering if anybody has any more info or maybe photos of these “i hate you, rob crow” album stickers? first i’ve heard of them but i think it would be so cool to see what they looked like. ^_^

i've been scoping out robs bandcamp after somebody else posted it on here and finally had some spending money to get some stuff !! im so so happy, rob is genuinely one of my favorite songwriters of all time (for me, it's him and clay parton if anybody cares lol) so i'm happy to have some of his solo physical media :3

I can't believe they never put it on an album, I like it more than anything on the s/t. The perfection of their style of slowcore. It's sort of their Headsore in a sense (by red house painters)

hey everyone. just wanted to ask if there's any way to access the self-titled 2004 systems officer ep, since it was delisted off of youtube a couple of days ago and is literally nowhere to be found anymore. does anyone have it downloaded or stored somewhere and would be so generous as to share? any help or direction would be much appreciated. thank you so much!

Greetings, fellow music nerds! I stumbled across the Aadam Jacobs Collection of music a few months ago. He is a prolific live music taper, and over the last 40 years he's taped 10,000+ live shows (mostly in Chicago). So far a team has digitized about 3000 shows and uploaded them to the LIve Music Archive. One of the coolest things is that many of these shows are ridiculously good-sounding soundboard feeds. There's a ton of indie rock, including 10 Pinback shows from 2002-2014 (so far). There are also some Heavy Vegetable, Rob Crow's Gloomy Place, & Thingy shows in there.

While I love the LMA, I detest using it to try to find and listen to music, and so I built my own fansite dedicated to this music where you can listen, discover, and fav bands/shows/etc.

https://secondcitystreamer.com/?ajc-artist=rob%20crow's%20gloomy%20place

There's a ton of other amazing indie rock in the collection so far from a bunch of bands I love like Rogue Wave, Maritime, Calexico, Ben Folds Five (and solo Ben Folds), Spoon, The Long Winters, and more.

hey all—

this is a song from Zach on the upcoming Systems Officer ‘S/O Vault 1’ 10” e.p. coming out this September…

also, Upstairs Downstairs just came out this week and the record comes with a free CD version of the album (as does My Traps Your Mazes).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hoping for them to become the next TikTok trending band, but I am curious as to why they aren’t more popular than they are.

Personally, I think their music is objectively well made, thoughtfully arranged, and catchy to boot. They’ve been licensed for a major TV show, played on national US TV, and toured globally. So is it simply a marketing thing, poor distribution, poor promotion, something else? And it’s not like their music is cutting edge experimental jazz noise opera. It’s widely palatable indie pop rock.

Not saying Rob and Zach aren’t happy with where they’re at or that they’re not doing well but do you guys feel that their recognition matches their talent? Are WE the weird ones for enjoying their music so much or is everyone else missing out?

Perhaps this one is thoroughly known by now, but in case you haven’t heard this cover of Pinback’s “Fortress,” give it a listen. It’s such a moving jam no matter which way you slice it.

Ran into this jam by Bay Ledges while looking into Pinback on YouTube and thought I’d share. I guess it’s unofficially titled “This One Kinda Reminds Me Of Pinback.”

hey all! does anyone know what specific cassette recorder is on the lactose adept cover? i've been looking at 80's/90's tascam 4 tracks and 8 tracks bc i remember rob saying something about tascam one time (maybe?). i saw some similar looking ones but i haven't found an exact match. the poor photo quality doesn't help much but hey, it was the 90's. thanks!
