And I can’t even get a bort show rec.

SU&R bro. I’m sure between @cshore, @gatroe, and @opsopcopolis there’s some JOTY discussion back in 2021 or 2022.

Found this pretty quickly, but surely there’s more.

@cshore

If anyone here hasn’t checked out 3/19/21 yet, definitely do so. Absolutely brilliant show, maybe Dopapod’s best ever. Idk what the fuck they were smoking that night but the jams go so deep and go into grooves that IMO nobody else on the scene can touch.

@gatroe

Boston S2 is the SOTY so far without listening to Portland yet. Excluding the Echoes set but that was pretty tight

[WhoDatVols]

Bold of you to expect me to SU&R when I can just shout into the oblivion and bitch about it when I don’t get an answer

Glad to hear they’re playing well recently though

Sweetness! Much Obliged for the heads up

[WentzyMcGee]

Like that set and LOVE XL club. Would have loved to have been there. Glad you have a good time!

Jealous you got an aquatic ambience, pretty rarely played and it’s one of my fav video game songs

[OSUmBeaverPhreak]

Haven’t listened to much Dopapod in my life but threw this on and I’m looking forward to 10.30 seeing them here in Portland. Hope to be regretting not seeing them until they were hanging it up.

9/2 is pretty tight

Cool interview with Rob

9/4/24 Present Ghosts is a cool alternate version of the song. Mellow and beautiful.

This was a really good listen

[NikoEstevan]

Glad they’ve been reviving the lounge version. It’s something I’ve wanted to request for a while. Good song and that alt version brings a cool vibe.

[chicagostylehotdog]

Any other lounge or alternate versions of songs out there? I know of a handful of UM ones (CtC, Nopener, Turn & Dub) but this is the first I know of Dopapod having any.

On a similar note, Aqueous was doing a porn funk version of Eon Don for a while and calling it Eon Ron. That cracked me up.

[NikoEstevan]

The Bubble Brain from 9/2 is definitely a different arrangement even though it’s not noted on Nugs. I’d call it lounge adjacent.

But outside of Present Ghosts they don’t have alt arrangements that can pop up in a set like a CtC can.

[NikoEstevan]

The 9/6 stuff has some alt versions. The Turning Knobs doesn’t seem like a predetermined choice to switch it up, more that they kept the groove from the prior jam and it turned into an extended → for the first section.

But the Nuggy is explicitly labelled as a “metal style” version.

[NikoEstevan]

9/11 show is good, they were definitely feeling loose
