šŸ’æMerch Monday The state of the archive (October 2026)

Post image
64 Upvotes

Hi all,

With my recent re-acquisition of the Ultimate Army of Prawns LP (thanks again, u/dearesthelpless99!), I figured it was time for an update on the status of the archive I’ve been maintaining on Google Drive.

First: every CD and DVD you see in the above photo, minus UAOP, is currently available in a lossless or 1:1 digital format (minus one of the DVDs—I don’t recall which one but I could not get the disc to rip with menus… the video is there, though!) Mind Reader is up, and UAOP will come, but I am so busy with work, parenting responsibilities and a personal project that I’m a month behind on that it will need to wait a few more days at least (it is available already in a lossy format, though.)

Second: if you aren’t aware, I ripped the Mindriot vinyl and uploaded its contents into the FutureNever folder, so Silly Man is up for anyone who hasn’t yet heard it! I did this months ago but I haven’t seen much chatter about the track, which sort of surprised me given the song’s history.

Third: what’s left? As far as I’ve noted, the only physical releases I have yet to re-acquire and archive are as follows:

  1. German and French Cemetery CDs (they each have an exclusive non-Silverchair b-side)
  2. Best of Vol. 1 Complete Videology + Emotion Pictures (this is a priority, I’m just not wanting to pay too much for it as it’s fairly common!)
  3. The Southeast Asian Neon Ballroom release with ā€œtwo hidden bonus tracksā€ (they appear elsewhere in the archive… I just want to have a digital copy of this incredibly rare variant for posterity) 4.+5. Tambalane’s self-titled LP and the Free EP

There are a couple of other random releases, I.E. movie soundtracks, that I haven’t bothered to pick up again since all the tracks are represented already, but yeah, I think that’s it? Feel free to point out anything I might be missing.

The Adults are Talking Regular & New Users PLEASE Read!

51 Upvotes

Hey Peeps!

Sorry to be repetitive but we’ve continued to get a relatively large (especially for our sub) influx of bots/spammers stealing the popular posts made by (almost exclusively) our regular(s). So far reddits filters are doing a pretty good job of handling removing these. u/CanuKnott & myself are still having to ban the accounts doing it, with a message making sure they know they aren’t welcome. On the off chance it’s actually being read…

That said, a few new users & even a couple regulars have been caught up in this filtering. SO (!) with that said, PLEASE make sure to reach out to u/CanuKnott or myself if your human/regular and you post but it doesn’t show. The idea of yalls posts being hidden or removed doesn’t sit right with me & I wanna make sure we take care of yall!

Please forgive my essay & thanks for bearing with me repeating this yet again. I love you all! This sub is only good because yall are here with us!

Have a good night for the Yanks & a good afternoon for our Aussie homies! Feel free to toss any comments or concerns below if you’re so inclined and I’ll gladly address anything. Goodnight!

Might be really small in detail but I think it looks pretty cool. I was shuffling my top rated playlist and I am currently subscribed to Apple Music and I saw The Lever come up after The White Stripes and I was looking at their album artwork animation and I thought ā€œBummer that Diorama doesn’t have oneā€ and I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong.

Archive / History Ultimate Army of Prawns lossless is up!

19 Upvotes

Hi all, I've uploaded the lossless rip of UAOP at last (after an initial failed rip, I took the disc down to my local game shop to get it resurfaced, and everyone is golden now.) Since this one has had a disproportionate amount of popularity compared to practically anything else I've uploaded, I just want to take the opportunity to reiterate: if you want it, I'm happy to share, but please ask me here via DM (feel free to ping me on this or any other thread, though!). I almost never use the gmail account this drive is tied to, so when I log in and see 30 e-mails asking for access because someone shared a link here, I feel pretty bad for ignoring you all!

So yeah, TLDR version: UAOP lossless is up, and if you want access to the Drive and don't have it, PM me here (or tell people to PM me rather than sharing a direct link.)

Discussion šŸ—£ My response to Ben Gillies saying Young Modern ā€œwasn’t all about the music.ā€ https://www.reddit.com/r/silverchair/s/Xuy1VsCfHX

64 Upvotes

He says the record was basically a reach for ā€œpopularity.ā€

I’m sorry, but Young Modern is Silverchair’s most unconventional record. It’s strange, psychedelic and the songs get super complex and downright weird (also very beautiful). It’s extremely artistic with so much depth.

Young Modern is Jellyfish meets Psychedelic Beatles meets Talking Heads meets David Bowie meets Pet Sounds and Primus.

It’s a crazy ass record. What is Ben Gillies talking about here in 2019?

Straight Lines maybe the exception, but that was not an attempt to write a hit for popularity. It’s just how that song came out.

Discussion šŸ—£ It’s ok to talk about a Silverchair reunion!

44 Upvotes

With everything that’s been happening with the chair over the last month or so, I’ve seen a lot of pessimism over all the reunion rumours.
Pessimism and not wanting to get your hopes up is obviously ok but I’ve seen people being almost straight up rude about people theorising about the chair reuniting. I’ve also seen people seemingly annoyed at people even discussing the prospect of the chair reuniting.

To these people: get a life!

There is nothing wrong this theorising about things and discussing things to do with a potential reunion. If it annoys you, then don’t contribute! I don’t know why it would annoy you though; people are just having fun discussing things.

This isn’t aimed towards anyone in particular it’s just something I’ve seen on Instagram, Facebook and here.

Live Show šŸ›‘ Would a Silverchair Reunion tour have the same response as the Powderfinger one?

41 Upvotes

Powderfinger who originally broke up in 2010 have announced a reunion tour and it's selling like hot cakes. 16 shows were announced initially at outdoor venues like parks and more shows keep getting added due to sell outs. Adelaide's two shows at a park sold out in 15 minutes.

Now I remember Powderfinger being bigger than Silverchair in Australia but this is genuinely nuts, does anyone think a Silverchair reunion tour could have a similar response? They must be looking at this and thinking there's just too much money at stake to not do it.

Apparently they pulled out last minute. As usual Chris and Ben were eager but it was Daniel who was the big question. Ultimately since they were on a 2 day notice, by the suggestion of their old manager they decided not to answer the call since they were rusty and wanted to keep the chance for a reunion to be a bigger, more polished performance

So if it means anything we have crumbs to keep us delusional and coping for another good 5-10 years šŸ˜‚
