GY!BE

So I've finally sat around and listened to some Godspeed You! Black Emperor. It was an accident, really, because I made itunes display all the songs that had 'sting' in the tags, and one came up and I was too lazy to change tracks, and it was AMAZING.

I've only listened to five so far, but that's still 2.5 hours of music. I really liked Providence and Storm so far.

They actually moved the exclamation mark before their third album Yanqui UXO, so they went from being GYBE! to GY!BE.

Anyway, brilliant brilliant band, and sadly missed (they're not officially split up but to all intents and purposes they are, I don't see them recording anything again). Three great albums (though my favourite is Lift Your Skinny Fists) and the best EP ever maybe. And that ending to Yanqui UXO is magnificent and yet so frustrating, the way it cuts off so abruptly. One of my favourite bands ever.
