Shellac - Copper

[TheDogfacedboy1]

thank you

[SgtZaqq]

bass in Shellac kicks some serious ass!

[Hakudohshi]

Copper, you'll never be gold. :'(

[sickpoola]

one of greatest concerts i've ever been :)

[DukeSecom]

if its off the futurist then how the hell did he get a copy? didn't they only make that album for there friends or something?

[uebarbosa]

i prefer the other version. heavier. stronger.

[jokster2k]

albini is a god among men

[zombiefeast78]

Love, love this track!

[heitmanek1]

The Futurist

[OllieTheBum8182]

Where did you get this version? What EP/single/whatever the hell is it on?

[hckytwin]

there very cool. Kinda like Minutemen and Saccharine Trust.

[drownedracoon]

If only it was longer... I keep replaying!

[hckytwin]

I like these guys. but what are they all about?

[mrtones73]

@hckytwin They are about turning sound into electricity and ionizing the air surrounding you with this released energy. They are about music.

[djgeeter]

@hckytwin well, they all have long musical careers for one, you really should check out steve albini, cuz rapeman and big black are also very good.......those are his other bands god damn this guy fuckin produced NIRVANA's records for fucks sake and not anyone recognises him...he's from MISSOULA MONTANA too my home town...

[asib578]

hey what version of the song is this it sounds considerably different than the one on terraform? i like this version much better btw thanks for the upload

[grindking88]

nice one :)

[TheTetrarch]

Why do I get the feeling that "copper" is the actual elemental metal and not a metaphor for a girl? Makes this song all the better! :D

[modernmusickicksbutt]

people, frame this song and hang it on your wall.

[ElectricMusicNeed]

oh my fucking god yes

[robair9911]

never heard Shellac until today. this , prayer to god, my black ass, all awesome songs

[ixal95]

For EPE class.. I have to do make a imitation Facebook page.. for an element on the periodic table? (I have copper).... for bonus points, we can include favorite songs, etc.?... and this song is insanely convenient. :I

[gizmo3250]

This is really cool music, just found out about this band today throug a quit unlike source - my wife was wathcing a program on Animal planet on dogs! and there they were - playing for about 2 sec. but it was enough for me to get curios and the main focus group annoid - and that just because of the drummers italian greyhound! Thats could be called a new approach regarding public relations...!

[pajdash08]

i've been reading about shellac since over a decade but for some reason i never gave them a thorough listen. i'm glad i finally did, like their no nonsense approach to making music.

[abrokenheartfixd]

anyone know a good place to download some rapeman, shellac, or big black?

[abrokenheartfixd]

anyone know where to download shellac, big black, or rapeman?

[officernarc]

you know, steve albini has never been known for his lyrics, really, but i think the lyrics to "copper song" are some of the best i've ever heard.

[eldouglador]

This is the version off a comp called Ground Rule Double IIRC. The Terraform version doesn't have the guitars.

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

@eldouglador Yes it does LOL. I do have this version on my i pod though. They are played the same but just recorded at different times. Check out my film of them playing this song in Amsterdam last year here on You Tube. That's better...if i do say so myself LOL LOL

[yolovema]

Sexy Music

[TapiaBernie]

i found out about this band because of another band called Slint

and i found out about them because of a good review i read about their album

BOTH ARE GREAT BANDS

[McKJudo]

The best Shellac song of all time. 

[zodiakfolk]

best breakup song.

[TheRavenEffect88]

@zodiakfolk

This or Prayer also by Shellac

[zodiakfolk]

best break up song.

[tcmlr]

this is ggggggggaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy

[kfiyfdkfkji]

yeehaaaaaaaaaa!

[kfiyfdkfkji]

yeehaaaa!!

[VomitBubbles]

One of my favorites, thanks.

[phucketification]

this is just another reason why steve albini is the man!

[AL3Xmotodude]

I finally find some new awesome music!

Fuck the mainstream bullshit!

[hdrevolution123]

This is good chemistry revision for me.

[Icantunderstandyou]

I can't get enough of this track..

I love the flow, ups, downs, and that god damn weird sound which starts at around 1:24. My only complaint is that it isn't longer, but I guess Steve like's too leave you wanting more!

[simpsons2170]

cool weird noise=(harmonic percolator+travis bean+ 1965 fender bassman) x steve albini^10

[ChrisTheContagion]

Anything for some instant epic and almost microphone-like feedback.

[nelson138]

i just came

[victorwhogo]

best finale ever

[Icantunderstandyou]

Call me undereducated but just found out about Shellac, I've been listening to Big Black for ages!

It's quite rare to find great music so I'm happy that I found it now..

[monkeymanNr1]

wow that's long

[bread86]

you're in the top 1% of educated americans.

[Icantunderstandyou]

Are you trying to insult me..?

I'm British mate!

[getsetgo13]

@Icantunderstandyou me too! check rapeman out, Albini did that in between the two and it kicks ass! CHUNG! CLANG! KRNNGGG!!!!!

[420MACBOSS187]

@Icantunderstandyou big black is less popular than shellac



[Icantunderstandyou]

@420MACBOSS187 Not in the circles I move in

[kleenexliliput77]

thanks for post lady

[bebowilliams]

Was this a 7" B-side? or Should I say Single picture disc? The album version is a bit more dramatic....but I really dig this version since it reminds me a bit of TAR's monotone vocals.

[A1CFree]

I see them june 15th :D

[hermetschloo]

great song!

[davidaw68]

yeah it is different to the album version. still beats all the shit out there today.

[jamjargod]

This sounds different to the album version

[xeroid69]

Love this comp version the best. Cheers !

[fishingrhod]

the FUCK brand (sorry FCUK) have a men's perfume called Copper. it smells nice.

whenever i put it on i know i'm going to have a good day coz it's blessed by St Albini.

i think it may actually be his sweat. at least i hope so.

[rabrabrabbit]

yeah, this does sound different from the version on terraform

[paulinho1432]

It's the version from the Ground Rule Double Compilation from '95. I'm not proud to say I didn't even need to think about which version it is but you can never have too much Shellac.

[jamjargod]

any one else notice that the copper riff is the prayer to god riff sped up

[YHAVR]

No dude, it's Stepping Stone sped up. No, wait, it's Duran Duran's Rio...

Anyways, next to New Number Order and Squirrel Song, I think this one has the best lyrics. Can't wait to see Steve et al. next month in Amsterdam! And I will be lucky if he busts out crying.

[rockandrollnigger]

i'll be there too come say hi to a shitty memphis guy !

[YHAVR]

Sure. Will you be wearing your Elvis shirt?

[ebpm4life]

bursts out crying?!? why?

[YHAVR]

Because they were squirrels!

REAL SQUIRRELS!!!

[DJHarrie]

'cause it's a SAD fucking song

[jos0531]

this aint some kinda metaphor.

GOD DAMN THIS IS REAL

[ebpm4life]

O.O

[fishingrhod]

thank you

[emilyrl]

No, thank you! That's a cute cat you've got there!!!

[fishingrhod]

she's my baby with a small head and a big belly. a noticeable feature of Shellac fans is that they tend to be intelligent and sensitive people i.e. they are cat lovers

[jamjargod]

im a cat person

[fishingrhod]

i rest my case

respect

[lcmtvbreath4]

YOU ARE? AWESOME! I've never met anyone who is half person half cat before, well, considering you're an evenly mixed cat person. I think you need to be at least a 80/20 split to officially be a cat person and not just Part cat.

[chinovier]

it doesn't sound like the version i have on terraform. but it still awsome. haha

[emilyrl]

Really?!? Is it the base?

Also, I usually make videos 100% louder when I make my videos. Well the awesome bands anyway - it lakes a couple of minutes to convert it louder. ;)

[cshx99]

@emilyrl I know this is an old post but.... May i ask how you do that???

[emilyrl]

@cshx99 Do what?

[godFlintstone]

@chinovier This song was released on a comp. titled "Ground Rule Double comp." and I have that version & the version on Terraform, and it does seem like there are subtle differences in the two. But 100% honest, with the way youtube takes a bit of quality out of each upload, I can't tell which version this one even is (or maybe there is no difference to begin with and I'm hearing things).

[godFlintstone]

@chinovier

For what it's worth tho, off of the Ground Rule Double comp. d/l I have it was listed as "The Copper Song" (though still credited to Shellac). It was also around 1:56-2:00 or something in length on that compilation. Whereas on Terraform it's under 1:50 I'm pretty sure- at least on my version. Admittedly I don't own the album on vinyl (don't eat me) so maybe that has something to do with it...

[ZUOERZUOER]
