post dischord bands that are getting lost to time

Q and Not U was probably the first "indie rock" band I got into, how are they looked back on?

First two LPs and their 7" are all good. The change between the first LP and the second is pretty dramatic.

Their third LP, Power, is a complete mess.

I guess that's how my opinion falls out, though Different Damage was the one I got into first. I wanted Power to be really good and pretended it was for a while. :-/

Just realized that Dan MM from black eyes is a Pitchfork contributor now, covering mostly electronic music

Not sure how I feel about that

Chris Richards from Q and Not U is a Washington Post music reviewer/commentator. I like it, gotta make a living.

Relating to that, Jacob Long from black eyes plays as Earthen Sea, an ambient techno (?) project that I really like. Great tunes to listen to at work. I didn't realize until today that his stuff was out on Kranky.

He also released stuff as Mi Ami.

Q And Not U/Black Eyes were cool because they were pretty young when they were playing and at the time in DC (early 2000s) most of the established bands were folks that had been playing since at least the early 1990s.
