Xiu Xiu

one of the bands straight people will never get.

My favorite Xiu Xiu album is actually Angel Guts: Red Classroom. Shaking rage seems to be the mood that fits Xiu Xiu the best, not fragile sadness or anxious fidgeting.
Fabulous Muscles is a close second.

Jamie's Twitter page is insufferable.

My favorite band ever. Personal favorite album is either Women as Lovers or Fabulous Muscles. But the first one I ever heard was Dear God I Hate Myself and it got me hooked instantly, so I recommend that.

Why do you think it's insufferable? I think it's kind of endearing. Pic related

Here's a flowchart I saved long ago from /mu/, I find it pretty accurate (just, by god, don't fear the 'pop')

Just saw them play Twin Peaks live last night. Absolutely amazing performance. Had me terrified at some parts and had me almost crying at others.

Why are they considered a gay band? Is it Jamie's voice?

His voice and lyrics are bretty gay

>>69028706
listen to the lyrics. also I don't see a straight guy listening to this unless he has a feminine side

>>69028706
Jamie is a diva
He's not as much gay though, as he's just the kind of 'I can fuck anything that moves' type of guy

is it an unpopular opinion to like knife play more than a promise
pretty much everything i've read seems to suggest that a promise is just knife play but better
i also think knife play is more accessible than a promise

bunch of left-wing assholes. listen to this.

>>69029280
I like Knife play better than Promise too
like FM>KP>AP

my friend booked these guys once when they were touring europe
he said they were really fucking rude and unpleasant towards him and the other people who were involved with making the show happen
so i never bothered to listen ot em

>>69025050

I know them as that band from that viper video

>>69029353

Straight and "get" it
>>69026697
Angel Guts is great, but Fab Muscles is overrated. A Promise and La Foret are where it's at. His twitter page is certainly strange but I've never seen anything I'd call insufferable. Examples?

>>69029940

>>69030243
the one thats depressing and noisy with a gay guy whining about his life. Yea that one

>>69030002
what the fuck are you talking about. Stop browsing /mu/ and pitchfork. No wonder you're a cuck.

>>69030332
you're being ironic right? You DO realize you are currently browsing /mu/ at this moment.

Is A Promise their noise-ist album? Cause I really like that aspect of it.

>>69030372
i'd say that women as lovers,la foret, and angel guts are their other most noisiest albums

THEY DID SOMETHING WITH GROUPER

OH FUGGGGGGG

>>69030462
I thought I post the one with Dr. Brule looking intensely him winking doesn't fit tonally with my post.

>>69029353
your friend was probably being a dick since they're known for being really nice. Or maybe they were just having a bad time

It's mostly the little breakdowns he has where he says something radical and deletes it a few hours after. There was one tweet where he said the troops were possibly the worst types of people and while I'm not particularly patriotic, I could tell by his demeanor and writing tone that the only legitimate reason he tweeted that was for shock factor.

>>69030792

>There was one tweet where he said the troops were possibly the worst types of people

Nah, it's the same thing as with the Support Our Troops song - irc it's about some family member(s) who he hates very much and can't get over it.

>>69030792
I can understand your aversion to that. I haven't been following him too long and I don't go on twitter too often so I've not been exposed to anything of that nature

>>69029353
bullshit

>>69030792
I remember this he said all US soldiers are bad and that anyone that supports them are bad too.

>>69031883
he right. Military is cancer

Recently started listening to them. They're good and all but are literally all of their songs about being gay and domestic abuse?

>>69028613
It's pronounced schwee schwee? I don't no why but I've always said shoe shoe

>>69031902
they have a lot songs that arent about those. Are you even listening?

>>69031902
yeah, who cares - what's wrong with an artist sticking to a theme throughout the career if he's finding ways to do something different with it every time. Even Twin Peaks album fits right into this theme.
