Listening Party Requests v.2.0

[Jom]

1) Have a picture
2) Have at least 2 working [full] mp3s [on sputnik]
3) Are underground or lesser known bands (for exposure reasons, and the fact that they often put free mp3s over the internet).

Stop requesting artists that don't have any MP3s on their page!

[charlesfishowitz]

just wondering, would 3rd party sites be like myspace and last.fm?

[Angmar]

I would like to suggest Raison d'Etre for the other listening party although all of the audios up on his page except "Reflecting In Shadows" are dead but if the others are deleted I will put up 3 more songs that are active, the group is ambient but is under other because there is no ambient sub-genre.

[NortherlyNanook]

I know, I posted this in the other thread, but just in case you didn't recognize it or whatever, since it's in the old thread, here's my request again, with MP3s. Sorry if you already got it.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/band/Unwound

I personally see them as post-hardcore, so yeah. I guess they could work as Noise Rock if you reeeeeally wanted.

And for the Off Minor request, I'm looking for more legit mp3s, but I doubt I'll find any others. "Cadaveric" was the only one on their site.

[FlawedPerfection]

Oh hey this thread. Sorry.

rawk- The War on Drugs- http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=10243
alt/indie- We Vs. Death- http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=10247

[Jom]

Hooray, three new listening parties!

[cometuesday]

I've asked before but Murcof would be a nice other/electronica listening party. There's a picture, mp3's, and i'd say its not a stretch to call him lesser known.

[Jom]

Murcof can come next after that French guy.

[Zoo]

I would like to formally request Manegarm for the metal listening party. I have just added seven full tracks from the band's official site.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=7964

Thank you.

[Jim]

Alchemist after that for progressive metal please.

I also wrote a bio please approve

[Electric City]

Shangrala for Alt/Indie please none of my other requests have been able to work

[Dave de Sylvia]

Unless they have some new songs available, they were featured before with the exact same tracks.

[Electric City]

really? I don't remember :(

[Iluvatar]

yeah they def were featured
they have new record coming out this year/early next though so

[pianotuna]

Robert Pollard for rock or indie/alternative or something. He's got a new album out this year, plus there are a bundle of mp3s from his site there.

[PatchworkNeurology]

I would like to request a band called "The Blue Letter" i'm currently trying to find mp3 links to put up on here.

They do have a myspace (www.myspace.com/theblueletter) with mp3's,
but I really haven't a clue how to put them up.

Great band though.

[Jim]

Alchemist after that for progressive metal please.time for a changeover?

[Polaris]

108 for Hardcore

Foetus for industrial.

http://i37.tinypic.com/144396b.jpg

Foetus is the primary musical outlet of industrial music pioneer J. G. Thirlwell. Until 1995 the band underwent various name changes, all including the word foetus. Monikers adopted at different times include Foetus Under Glass, You've Got Foetus On Your Breath and Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel. After 1995 the name permanently became Foetus, though the related project The Foetus Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1997 and continues.

Thirlwell acts as the sole instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter and producer for all Foetus works and as such is the only member of the band. Other artists may occasionally collaborate with Thirlwell on Foetus works but are not considered members of Foetus. Thirlwell is solely responsible for the musical output of the band.

Steinski for Hip Hop

It's essential for people to hear

[earwhig]

ec sure knows the hip hops

[Dave de Sylvia]

tru dat homes!

[Electric City]

well you know, bitches and hos

[Electric City]

Can the Steinski listening party get featured on the front page next?

[ujuj]

nope

[Jom]

Can the Steinski listening party get featured on the front page next?

The listening parties are all randomly automated on the main page, but only from the big four: metal, rock, alt/indie, and punk. There isn't enough interest in integrating pop or hip-hop into the algorithm, and it will likely remain that way.

[Electric City]

I remember SOP did something with the Flashbulb where he temporarily moved the genre to Alt/Indie to get it some time on the frontpage. Since Steinski is one of the year's more critically acclaimed releases but has gotten criminally little attention from the sputnik base, could a similar action be executed here? I'm sure it would get more attention in the alt/indie section than The Verve are getting right now.

[Jom]

Yes, it can. We'll adjust for the middle of next week unless Dave does it earlier.

[Electric City]

bump for steinski- alt/indie

[Meatplow]

Foetus for industrial.

http://www.foetus.org/ - links in audio

no for this?

[Jom]

It can be a yes, but we're not responsible for adding artist art/MP3 links.

[Meatplow]

k. i've got no idea how to do it

[Electric City]

find an mp3 link, click add mp3 et voila

[Meatplow]

on the official website it's embedded in some fancy flash player where I can't get at a link

at least I think so anyway

[Electric City]

TV On the Radio for alt/indie

[hismajestythepope]

Could you guys maybe do Embrace The End for metalcore? Maybe reference them being one of the innovators of the deathcore scene and what not?

[Jom]

Dude, look at the first post. How can you NOT see the size 300 text?

[Cesar21]

A Red Paintings listening party? Idk if it has been done, but at least on the current "previous lp" list they do not appear.

[Jom]

I spoke with Trash and we're going to do one for them when he wants to share some new material. He says it's not ready yet.

[hismajestythepope]

Dude, look at the first post. How can you NOT see the size 300 text?

my apologies user jom

but in all srsness ill find authorized mp3s then

[Doppelganger]

Magrudergrind for grind/punk/whatever it is they're under, I can't tell. Just uploaded tracks so it should be good.

[Iluvatar]

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=2064

a good band for the punk listening party

[Doppelganger]

cwv is okay

[AtavanHalen]

If there's a pop listening party, I recommend Keane's new album.

[Electric City]

Lights Out Asia for Post Rock

[Electric City]

^Is this gonna happen? I uploaded mp3s and will probably have a review for their new album done in the coming week

[Dave de Sylvia]

I decided to save it for next week since nobody is going to request anything for then anyway. Luckily, this week there was a new album out I could put up an LP for. But yeah basically you are one of about two people who ever put in the work for this so I need to save parties up sometimes.

[Electric City]

alright thanks dave

[Cesar21]

Goldfinger listening party maybe?

Their new album (not so new anymore) was pretty *** kicking, and the 2 mp3's are from that album which is the one that needs a bit of recognition.

[rasputin]

Can I request Australian melodic death metal band Vespers Descent?

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=10902

I've put up two mp3s, one from each of their releases. Their latest release has been reviewed and I'm going to get their older album done once I pick it up.

[DFelon204409]

Wow: http://www.playlist.com/

It searches the internet for hard mp3 links. Listening parties are now super easy to put together.

[SnackaryBinx]

how about a listening party for Ehnahre?

[Ruins]

Wow: http://www.playlist.com/

It searches the internet for hard mp3 links. Listening parties are now super easy to put together.

Yeah I found that last year. Pretty handy, but the selection for lesser known bands is not to great.

[Dave de Sylvia]

They have to be legal mp3s though. If I find mp3s link to some randomer's blog I'll just delete them.

[Electric City]

you know who has legal mp3 links? Lights Out Asia :)

[Doppelganger]

Benoit Pioulard for Other, please. His new album Temper just came out on the 14th and also recently (past couple of months or so) put out a 7" Lee. I just put up one track from each of those as well as a few from older albums Pecis and Fir. He has more links to other tracks on his site but I thought there were already enough I guess.

Sunday/Monday is usually when Dave does the rotation, so no worries.

[Electric City]

[ASberg]

I want to suggest a band called Detektivbyrån. They are getting really popular here in Sweden and i would love it if they got featured. I have just made a profile for them with mp3s and everything. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands.php?bandid=11379, really great stuff.

[Electric City]
