ELITE GYMNASTICS - NEU! '92

[alaska]

This is a cool album and I am glad he's still making music!

[rich uncle skeleton]

I started boarding bc i liked elite gymnastics so much

Yeah that was definitely when I went from lurking to actively trying to register but it still took me awhile to figure out how to do that lol.

I’ll upload the stuff for everyone tonight, just may not be for a few more hours at least

[ric_joe]

this is the first album i've been legitimately into in what feels like years. i'm not sure if it's just coinciding with a general more upbeat time in my life but i'm really all about it. also it feels like j brooks has been responsible for a lot of the more thoughtful boarders here so i'm grateful for that as well!

[Beaver King]

james brooks is BACK

[rich uncle skeleton]

Actually here it is. Apologies if the metadata is fucked up or anything. Here's everything in there:
Gizzard Greens V1
GG V2 (this has the amazing Fuck the Club Up jungle mashup)
Andreja 4-ever
Ours cover
Sa Sa Samoa remix
Where Has Everybody Gone remix
Come Back to Mine remix
All we fucking care about is kpop whitehouse and our cats mix
I want a 38-minute truce in which there is no rape mix
Life/Trap (Grace Period remix)
We Fly High (Original Version)

I'm not sure where those last 2 came from. The Grace Period is Chris Ott right?

Is this it? When you said “some asian classical pianist guy” the only one i can think of who would cover something like elite gymnastics is conrad tao, so i did a search and this came up

lol yup that's totally it. there used to be a video of him playing it too. thanks for finding it!

[doublethink0]

just wanted to echo the love for the new one, just got to listen today

[Althea]

This rules. I didn't look at the tracklist before my first listen, so when secret garden started that was a great surprise. By coincidence I found my old RUIN shirt like a month ago and started wearing it.

[saul grass]

Here is Ruin 4

[angel eyes]

reverse chronological order pt. 1 is my favorite right now. ugh mom your mind!

[angel eyes]

also i just remembered like 2 years ago i was at the local burger spot alone and a woman was there also alone wearing a RUIN shirt. i said hi and we had a nice lil convo about EG. never expected to see that shirt in the wild. the words "message board" were never exchanged but if you post here, hey!

[endless dave]

I once wore my RUIN shirt out to get chips at my bodega and the middle-aged Korean women behind the counter laughed at me and asked I would wear that shirt

[building jumper]

This is so good. Really glad Brooks is still making music.

Also, just dusted off my watermelon Ruin and played that. Good memories while listening to it and still sounds incredible

[landspeedrecord]

I've only seen a ruin shirt out in the wild once: on some dude who knew j brooks from mn at a pc music show the night I met milknight

[Rainbow Battle Kid]

anyone else feel like a Fake Boarder cause u don't have a ruin shirt or a slim-fit plaid william?

[Milquetoaster Strudels]

I forget--was the RUIN shirt only available with the purchase of RUIN 3/4? Feel like that was why I never had one and I also slept too long on getting a FUCK REAL LIFE shirt

[came to wreck]

had the white and the black ruin shirts but i think i took them both to goodwill once i realized in 2018 in nyc a white guy cant wear a shirt with big korean characters on it without getting looks

[hoopdog]

I've only seen a ruin shirt out in the wild once: on some dude who knew j brooks from mn at a pc music show the night I met milknight

I was at this show too and distinctly remember seeing this dude as well

I need to check this out and revisit those old records, Ruin 1+2 are a time capsule for me personally

[odilon redon]

reverse chronological order pt. 1 is my favorite right now. ugh mom your mind!

yeah mine too.

its reminiscent of the washed out song with caroline palochek which was always a fave

[Milquetoaster Strudels]

I enjoyed the Everyday People name drop in christmas card from a scammer in minneapolis. I miss those dang thrift stores.

[joe bitch tv]

love this

[Autarch]

yeah, fuck, listening to this and it's def the best thing i've heard so far this year.

[camping]

just getting around to this but christmas card from a scammer in minneapolis is insanely my shit. digging this album a ton.

[Autarch]

yeah that song is amazing. lyrics are good on this thing.

[camping]

heart emoji xo

fuck

[Autarch]

yall catch that dig at musk on that one song? black pill skyline i think

[ric_joe]

i like the gerstmann in vietato

[mego]

i'm happy for brooks that his album is getting some love but this isn't a direction i'm all that into

[Brevity]

Conversely, I never really liked his music before but I'm into this. His lyrics and melodies seem stronger. Dunno what the "secret garden" and "holy ground" covers add, though

[Ralph Vaughan Williams]

His lyrics are amazing, this is an amazing album
