Papa Universe 06.30.19	hello
JohnnyoftheWell 06.30.19	Aww I like this theme a lot! EDIT: Would you consider doing a random allocation for who recs who, or shall we just pick at whim?
Papa Universe 06.30.19	"a specific regular of your choice" "to appeal to a particular user of your choice"
JohnnyoftheWell 06.30.19	Choice is scary :[ ok
JustJoe. 06.30.19	I think that means it’s your pick.
Papa Universe 06.30.19	whoever you like more
JustJoe. 06.30.19	Good luck to you all. I may be following along from the safety of the shadows.
JohnnyoftheWell 06.30.19	Xinlisupreme - Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella (from Tomorrow Never Comes) https://xinlisupreme.bandcamp.com/track/fatal-sisters-opened-umbrella For garas and I guess also budgie
SlothcoreSam 06.30.19	I'm in. Just going to round out last month before i suggest a track.
budgie 06.30.19	for Egarran: The Rising of the Dark Lord, last track off Mythical & Magical from Pagan Altar this track is the beautiful magnus opus of an old school traditional doom metal band. egarran has epicus doomicus metallicus 5'd yet hasn't anything from Pagan Altar rated so it's possible these guys have slipped by him somehow please enjoy dude! https://paganaltarofficial.bandcamp.com/album/mythical-magical
Egarran 06.30.19	This is bc I said I was gonna lurk this month, isn't it? shakes fist
Papa Universe 06.30.19	don't lurk then
JohnnyoftheWell 06.30.19	You said that last month you scaremonger
budgie 06.30.19	you wouldn't ignore me egarran..............................
Egarran 06.30.19	...................probably not
garas 06.30.19	Heyyo! That's a fantastic theme Papa, this will be a tough one to throw in some recs! And thanks Johnny, I can't wait for it!!! :]
Papa Universe 06.30.19	ty
Egarran 06.30.19	>You said that last month you scaremonger I tried but then Trif was at my door. If I collapse from stress, it's on you guys.
Papa Universe 06.30.19	and if you feel great afterwards is it thanks to us too?
Trifolium 06.30.19	That's the spirit Papa. I'll think of a rec, great theme!
SlothcoreSam 06.30.19	K, got one for ArsMoriendi. Hüsker Dü- Something I Learned Today Off their classic, Zen Arcade. I noticed he has yet to rate this album, a glaring omission in his catalogue. Plus it's only 2 minutes long. https://youtu.be/rktLCGpQ3RA
JohnnyoftheWell 06.30.19	"I tried but then Trif was at my door. If I collapse from stress, it's on you guys." We'll feed you caffeine and Sigur Ros albums until you revive dw, got your back!
Trifolium 06.30.19	My rec: Elza Soares - Pra Fuder (from A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo) https://youtu.be/3sPSWr166N4 A Brazillian samba queen aged 80, backed up by a gang of musicians from the favelas. For Ars. EDIT: Sloth hadn't rec'd his, Ars has two now!
budgie 06.30.19	choo choo here comes the aluminum train
garas 06.30.19	Sure! :] I have a question: we should rate only "our" songs, or we still rate all of them but just after the specific users told their opinions about "theirs"?
Papa Universe 06.30.19	spreadsheet link is up
Egarran 07.01.19	For Garas: I was looking for a nature BM song that wasn't 10 minutes long, and lo and fucking behold, Enisum delivers. This song does everything in under 4 minuites. Enisum - Snow Storm. https://youtu.be/lkcdzEzyKwA Also, you must rate them all asap.
ArsMoriendi 07.01.19	HOLY FUCK PAPA I legit had this thought for an idea a week ago Maybe we're not so different
ArsMoriendi 07.01.19	For Minushuman24: "Make It Known" by Foxygen from their album Take the Kids Off Broadway Catchy indie rock with heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oyrP1XUUj0
Papa Universe 07.01.19	we might not be so different. I would imagine we got called a fag about the same amount of times.
SlothcoreSam 07.01.19	1. Can't Cheat Karma. 4.4, this is great Pappy, i used to listened to the Zounds and other anarcho-punk bands fleetingly back in the day. I need to revisit this scene and delve deeper. The song itself is a catchy lil number, the start sounds a lot like what Fontaines D.C are currently doing, then morphs into bouncy pre-post-hardcore-punk. Vocals are excellent, and lyrics are simple yet meaningful. Zounds seem more accessible than other anarcho bands, having melodic pop sensibilities throughout their tracks, and is evident here with that jangly guitar line. July is off to a good start.
Minushuman24 07.01.19	Oh this is really nerve-wracking
Minushuman24 07.01.19	hmmm I originally was gonna try to find a post-punk song for papa, but I think I'll just go for Sam. 50 Shades of Fuck You - Neighborhood Brats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N2Ai0qA9m4
neekafat 07.01.19	Dammit I literally just rec'd something to Ars specifically
SlothcoreSam 07.01.19	Is that a personal attack Minus? ;) Looking forward to the track, i know I've listened to these guys before, but as you can see from my extensive punk ratings, and since i only joined in January, I'm still playing catch up on checking in all the albums I've listened to. Will have to revisit his one, thanks.
Egarran 07.01.19	Can't Cheat Karma - If I got recd something like this, I would be conflicted and take my life up to re-evalutaion. I suspect this may be a theme for these songs. Song’s ok. I don’t get this style at all. 2.5/5 Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella - Starts out nice, but then nothing really happens. For 12 minutes. 2.9/5 The Rising of the Dark Lord - Wow, how the hell is this from 2006? They do the early 80’s Sabbath worship really well. I get a nice trance-like feeling as this song progresses, like with Epicus. This classic doom thing apparently has certain transportive qualities. This joint probably doesn’t hurt, apparently it goes well with heavy riffs. Thanks, bud. 4/5
Minushuman24 07.01.19	neverrr! I was surprised when they weren't in your ratings already! Makes sense that you already know of them though haha
Minushuman24 07.01.19	1. Can't Cheat Karma - Zounds - Wow, this one caught me at the perfect time. I was just having an afternoon of listening to Flux of Pink Indians and Crass. I've never listened to these guys before, and honestly never heard of them. They're pretty good, I'd say kind of a poppier anarcho-punk b---I guess I should have read Sam's synopsis of this song. All of that basically yeah. Good shit. 3.9 2. Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella - Xinlisupreme - Hazy. Noisy. Long. I like it though 3.5
ArsMoriendi 07.02.19	"Can't Cheat Karma" Catchy bass, frantically fun guitar, and fitting voice. Reminds me a bit of Crass, in a good way. Simple, but good. 4/5 "Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella" Whoa, this is mixed loudly. So far it seems like fairly typical shoegaze. 4 mins in and nothing interesting has happened. This is why I get turned off by so much shoegaze, so many things are happening, yet it ends up sounding like absolutely nothing. Okay, they added some ringing sounds, big deal. Maximalism as minimalism. FUCK that was boring. 2.2/5
Egarran 07.02.19	I Learned Today - Now this punk I like. 3.3 Pra Fuder - Ha, that was good. Great lyrics. 4.2/5
garas 07.02.19	'Can't Cheat Karma' - I listened it yesterday, but not a memorable experience. 2.5 'Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella' - Thanks for the rec, I really-really liked it! I'm very into every music which is based on a simple melody/melodies + has a huge atmosphere built-on. Both two parts of the song were exciting, lot of things happened, never got bored while listening. Additionaly, the song has a certain "ulverish" feeling, so bonus points for that. 4.2 May I ask, where did you get the idea to rec it for me Johnny? I'm very curious!
Papa Universe 07.02.19	8 recs? really?
garas 07.02.19	Don't worry Papa, I'm sure we'll come up with some nice ideas. I'm on it! I just want to give something memorable or something~
Egarran 07.02.19	He's noticing a worrying lack of submissions.
Trifolium 07.02.19	Then let's bump the crap out of this thread (even though that sounds super gross). I hope to rate on Thursday evening.
budgie 07.02.19	im eating nachos
budgie 07.02.19	can't cheat karma: kinda fun, probably something i'd need to listen to a lot before i really like it 3.0 Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella: this rules. 3.7
SlothcoreSam 07.02.19	Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella. 3.1 Fuzzy distorted slow start, then the noise kicks in. Lots happening here. My brain is struggling to take it all in, like being deep in the amazon at night with a circus, a zoo and an aquarium barely audible off in the distance.
budgie 07.03.19	it's not dead already is it??
Trifolium 07.03.19	How were the nachos budgie? I'm so hungry.
budgie 07.03.19	GOOOOOOOOOD
budgie 07.03.19	u couldn't have any cuz they were mine, nachos
budgie 07.03.19	they were NACHOS!
Trifolium 07.03.19	Noooo laughing makes me even hungrier!
Egarran 07.04.19	It's these slow summer days. People are out holidaying, all stressed and angry. But we must power through, even if it comes down to just bud and trifo rating each other's albums.
budgie 07.04.19	slow summer days huh, everyone is out holidaying where i live!! freeways are packed ofc yesterday on the 5 southbound there was a nasty collision backing holiday traffic up satans butthole and today there was a nasty collision northbound on the 5 at around the same mile marker lol, i was right next to it. of course there were out of state plates on the guy who caused the crash. damn zonies!!! i just want to live in a forest in france away from all this
Minushuman24 07.04.19	3. The Rising of the Dark Lord - Holy shit this is some old school metal worship. He even sounds like Ozzy, jesus. I think I'd dig this if the guitars were beefier or sludgier. This is wearing on me pretty heavily tbh, I was really excited about this but ehhhh. 2.8 4. Something I learned Today - Husker Du - Hell yes, one of my favorite Husker Du songs. I adore the energy and the fuzz and the bass ugh yes. 4.3
Minushuman24 07.04.19	These ads that you cant close on the bottom corner are killing me. Anyway, I don't think I'll get to the rest of these before friday. I might though I don't know.
budgie 07.04.19	pukes a little in mouth
Egarran 07.04.19	What, there are ads here? Sounds good, Minus. No stress. Just relax and let Daddy Cosmos give you a backrub.
garas 07.04.19	Alright, here it comes my first rec: Red Fang - "Wires" (https://youtu.be/vGgwZeYj57Y) A(nother) perfect song from the coolest stoner/heavy metal band ever. For: Egarran and probably Papa Universe. NOTE: Please everyone, listen this while watching the music video ;]
Egarran 07.04.19	Thanks, will do!
JustJoe. 07.04.19	* Kamsky Led -- "Celestial" ~ [Echoes] justjoe.-core for all https://soundcloud.com/hjordisbrittastrom/kamsky-led-celestial?in=hjordisbrittastrom/sets/kamsky-led-echoes-ep-2016
Papa Universe 07.04.19	could you add it into database?
Egarran 07.04.19	Yay! Here come those love waves.
budgie 07.04.19	hate* waves
Egarran 07.04.19	I don't know the difference anymore.
JustJoe. 07.04.19	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Kamsky-Led/115718/ objective achieved
ArsMoriendi 07.04.19	"The Rising of the Dark Lord" Fancy shredding followed by an Iommi-typical guitar riff and Ward-like drums. How does Doom metal as an entire genre feel being Black Sabbath worship bands? Even the vocals sound like Osbourne with a cold. This is way less engaging than Sabbath usually is though. Very drawn out. Also, bass is mixed low. :( 2.9/5 "Something I Learned Today" Good drums, good bass, reminds me of Minutemen so far in fact. Self-identified gay bear Bob Mould has a raspy voice that I'm kind of neutral on though. 3.4/5
budgie 07.04.19	wtf
garas 07.04.19	"The Rising of the Dark Lord" - As Ars mentioned: THE BASS IS MIXED LOW... how could they do that?! As a Sabbath-worshipping band that's unacceptable. Btw, the song is very gooooood tho. But the bass man... I can't give more than a 3.6. "Something I Learned Today" - Not bad, but not extra. I might be weird, but somehow it reminded me to the early Metallica demos. 2.6.
Egarran 07.04.19	It's weird how the eighties generally decided to discard the low end.
garas 07.04.19	Yeah, sad... :[
budgie 07.04.19	i just listened to the track through my headphones and could hear the bass guitar fine. so idk what's up.
garas 07.04.19	Yeah, you can hear it, but sometimes the bass completely lost in the mix - not "Butler-loud" enough.
budgie 07.04.19	look...... the mix on the album is fine. are you listening through laptop speaks or what is degrading the audio reproduction for you
garas 07.04.19	Hmmm, I checked "The Sorcerer" - that was much better. And no, I was listening through my headphones.
budgie 07.04.19	i love that track (:
garas 07.04.19	I can understand why! :]
SlothcoreSam 07.04.19	Got a 3.4 from ArsM, I'll take it. The Rising of the Dark Lord. 3.1, not a fan of the vocals, they sound like a really good local band, big late 70s metal sound, nothing special here to rise above the comparisons of being an "Ozzy" sound-a-like act.
budgie 07.05.19	pagan altar is an ozzy sound-a-like act huh i'll wait for trifolium's consideration but i'm one lousy descriptor away from never talking to any of you ever again
SlothcoreSam 07.05.19	Pagan Altar are good, but they just come across as a local band I'd check out for $5. I think the production of that album, listened to it via spotify through my sonos, is a pretty low standard as well. But to reiterate, it isn't bad.
budgie 07.05.19	ill kill you
SlothcoreSam 07.05.19	Budgie Vs Sloth. Fight! Who will win?
budgie 07.05.19	i win
Egarran 07.05.19	Oof. Now whenever bud hears The Rising he will remember this negative experience and eventually get to loathe this song and all it's tragic implications.
budgie 07.05.19	no i won't no i won't... :(
garas 07.05.19	"Pra Fuder" - The music itself was very good, but I wasn't a big fan of those vocals. 3.1
ArsMoriendi 07.06.19	"Pra Fuder" The music is fun and I actually know a song from this album pretty well (Maria da Vila Matilde.) This one is just as harsh and crazy, but not as engaging. Good horns anyway and I like how passionate she sounds. 3.8/5 "Snow Storm" Bang growl bang growl bang growl bang growl. 2/5
garas 07.06.19	"Snow Storm" - That was awesome!! Very cool track, massive riffs, good vocals. Maybe the drums were slightly loud, but that's just my personal preference. I def have to check the whole album! (And, man... they closed the song with the coolest riff!) 4.0
Egarran 07.06.19	Fuck yeah! The rest is just as good, only more majestic.
ArsMoriendi 07.07.19	This needs more songs. :O
Papa Universe 07.07.19	this needs more regulars
garas 07.07.19	A have a few other rec ideas, but I don't want to bomb y'all with my bad picks. "this needs more regulars" [2]
garas 07.07.19	"Make It Known" - It was a great song, nice Stones vibes - I really dug that. The description by Ars was also perfect: "Catchy indie rock with heart." 3.5
Ryus 07.07.19	moulds voice is godly
Tundra 07.07.19	Lights - ...And Counting (Acoustic) https://youtu.be/w3MLZqPCibQ just a nice chill song 1 is a fun jam (usually papa's songs are boring ;), solid 3.5 2 is 12 mins of shitty production, no thanks 2.0 3 is.. ok.. production is not so good, and vocals are meh 3.0 4 is fine, nothing groundbreaking but solid 3.3 5 is weird, not my thing, 3.0
Papa Universe 07.07.19	"usually papa's songs are boring" and the search for a welcome regular continues
Papa Universe 07.07.19	but nah, glad you're in now
Tundra 07.07.19	Just kidding around, or am I.. ;)
Asdfp277 07.07.19	i don't know people enough to rec stuff for them smh
Papa Universe 07.07.19	rec for those you know, maybe they'll show up
Asdfp277 07.07.19	it's people enough, not enough people :[
Papa Universe 07.07.19	just rec you slowsink
Asdfp277 07.07.19	aight for Papa Universe Saiko - "Express" (from the album 'Informe Saiko') https://youtu.be/iBopgUomMAo >:]
Papa Universe 07.08.19	oh no
Asdfp277 07.08.19	here's a better link, it's the full album but the first song is my rec >:] http://youtu.be/JEORO6rx21I
Divaman 07.08.19	Hey, if I can still get in on this I'd like to. I'll make a rec for Neeka: Future Bible Heroes - Memories of Love https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=future+bible+heroes+memories+of+love+ It's slow, slightly dark lo-fi with a sense of humor.
Papa Universe 07.08.19	are you sure about the link there, bud?
Papa Universe 07.08.19	could this work, maybe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYVEPH1opbc
Divaman 07.08.19	Yep, that will work. And you'llstill get to watch the weird video. Do I get to vote on the songs, too?
Papa Universe 07.08.19	yes, absolutely
Divaman 07.08.19	OK. I'm, gonna go with a 2.7 on the Foxygen "Keep the Kids off Broadway". Should I go back to the beginning of the month, or just rate them from here on?
Papa Universe 07.08.19	You can, if you want to.
Asdfp277 07.08.19	gonna 2.5 it myself too !
ArsMoriendi 07.08.19	Ooh more people
garas 07.08.19	[2] Hurray! "50 Shades of Fuck You" - Hmmm, it was another kinda forgettable song to me. The only extra thing was just that sweet flanger effect. 2.5
neekafat 07.08.19	will def be checking your rec diva (:
Trifolium 07.08.19	I'm still thinking about my second rec (is it time for those already?). This might as well have been a bump.
Papa Universe 07.08.19	you could also listen and rate to the songs here, but whatever
Trifolium 07.08.19	Haha! That is true. I'll hopefully have some time for that this evening.
ArsMoriendi 07.08.19	"50 Shades of Fuck You" Standard hardcore punk. Fun, but nothing special. 3/5
Divaman 07.08.19	I liked "50 Shades ..." I'll give it a 3.5.
Divaman 07.08.19	All right, I'm caught up for the month. Here are my ratings so far: 1. Zounds - 3.5 2. Xinlisupreme - 3.1 3. Pagan Alter - 3.2 4. Husker Du - 3.8 5. Elza Soares - 3.2 6. Enisum - 2.9 7. Foxygen - 2.7 8. Neighborhood Brats - 3.5
SlothcoreSam 07.09.19	5. Pra Fuder, 3.7. Cool song, imagine your grandma doing this at 80, amazing. 6. Snow Storm, 3.9, love the start, musically this creates wonderful imagery in my brain. And it keeps getting better, instrumentally that is. The pirate sounding vocalist stuck in the aaaaaarrrrgh, is what brings this down for me. Would love an instrumental version of this band. 7. Make it known, 3.6. Foxygen had some great tracks off this album and their 2013 album "we are the 21st...." but since then, I've found them to be a bit blah. This song itself, is a throwback to 60s rock, with some crazy lyrics. Not a strong standalone track, but fits well in the album. 8. 50 Shades of Fuck You, 3.8. Fast aggressive garage punk, doing everything it should. I spent time with this album when it first came out, and upon revisiting, the tracks are very familiar and fun, would be great to see live.
Papa Universe 07.09.19	Red Fang - Wires music video probably made the song better for me. 4
Divaman 07.09.19	Red Fang - Not terrible, but didn't really do anything for me either. 2.5
Trifolium 07.09.19	Can't Cheat Karma: Fun, nice vox, great energy. 3.3 Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella: Love how this sounds, trance inducing and cold, like a loooooong (12+ minutes maybe?!) walk through heavy rain. (I'm only now noticing the 'umbrella' part, it wasn't a silly joke I swear.) 3.0 The Rising Of The Dark Lord: This is cool! Love the guitar playing. Very melodic. 3.8 Something I Learned Today: Short but sweet, nothing much to say. This is shaping up to be a good month! 3.0 Snow Storm: Riffs are nice here. Reminds me of Mgla and Drudkh, and even some Alcest. Not bad at all! 3.3 Make It Known: Save for the vox this is nice. Don't like them much though, and despite nice drumming this is a little boring. 2.8 50 Shades Of Fuck You: Ha! Nice. Energetic, spiky. 3.5 Wires: Great vid, song is nice too actually. 3.3
JohnnyoftheWell 07.09.19	Incoming huge catchup !
ArsMoriendi 07.10.19	"Wires" Wikipedia says it's stoner rock, but this is way more corporate sounding and boring than stuff like Electric Wizard or Kyuss though. Not that I'm into either of those bands. People who think Greta Van Fleet is saving the music industry would LOVE this. 2.3/5
Divaman 07.10.19	Kamsky Led - 3.5 This was more my style.
garas 07.10.19	Ars... :[
Egarran 07.10.19	Make It Known - Ooh, these vocals seem to have personality and confidence. Yeah I like this a lot. 4/5 50 Shades of Fuck You - Started well, I was thinking 'do I actually like punk now?' But then it got jarring. But then it ended after 1.30! = +0.5. 3.5/5
garas 07.10.19	"Celestial" - I expected something more based on the title. Not bad though. 2.9
Trifolium 07.10.19	Celestial: Super old school beat. Synths are a little cheesy, especially in combination with that bass. I'm all for more electronic music though! 3.0
Tundra 07.10.19	For 10 I've actually been digging some electronic stuff lately so this is good timing, the snare sound, and the drums, in general, could sound better, but all in all a decent song, 3.1
Egarran 07.10.19	Wires - Thanks for this. It may be the most American thing I've seen all year. And there are A LOT of contenders. Stoner mythbusters ftw. 4.1/5
Trifolium 07.10.19	Yeah, they totally reminded me of the Mythbusters too
ArsMoriendi 07.11.19	"Celestial" The production of vaporwave + a simple house beat = wow this is the most mind-numbing thing of all time. My ex-roommate who used to just fuck around on a keyboard and post those noodlings to SoundCloud made more interesting shit than this. 1.5/5
Asdfp277 07.11.19	oof
Divaman 07.11.19	I'll give the Lights song a 3.1.
Minushuman24 07.11.19	And back from NYC, hello everyone. Pra Fuder - Elza Solares - This was just a tiny bit weird, but I dug it. I'm a sucker for horns though. 3.4 Snow Storm - Enisum - This is the type of metal I can really get into. Not sure why, but the melody mixed with the raw aggression really strikes a chord with me. Plus it's actually fucking short for once. 3.7 Make It Known - Foxygen - yenno, I always thought that Foxygen was a indie folk band for some reason. I like this quite a bit, it sounds like a nice driving song. It even has a bit of a 60's/70's vibe which is appreciated. nice. 3.9 Wires - Red Fang - Ah, fuck yea Red Fang. Saw these guys a couple years back in Portland, they ruled. That being said, this has always been my least favorite "popular" Red Fang song. It's still a fun jam though. 3.7 Celestial - Kamsky Led - This was okay, nothing offensive. 2.6 ...And Counting - Lights - This was simple, nice. It was pleasant. ahhh that's about it really 3.1
Divaman 07.11.19	I'm assuming you're about ready for everyone to do another round of songs, since we've only got two left. I'll dedicate this next one to Papa U, for obvious reasons. The Good Rats - "Papa Poppa" from the Tasty album. It's a bit of 70s rock with some artistry to it.
garas 07.11.19	Oh, second recs already? Then: Nanowar Of Steel - Norwegian Reggaeton (https://youtu.be/j0YXfeNxJJ0) For: everyone, especially for ArsMoriendi because he will instant 1.0 it. So bad it's good - this song made into the top50 most popular latin song charts, which is amazing.
SlothcoreSam 07.11.19	Second rec time. Just found a long lost classic. So I'll go out on a limb and rec it for Egarran. Scatterbrain- Don't Call Me Dude Of the album "Here Comes Trouble" that only has 13 ratings, surely more people listened to this back in the day. https://youtu.be/NbLhHtaVIO4
Papa Universe 07.11.19	link, Diva link, SlothcoreSam
SlothcoreSam 07.11.19	Fvck, sorry. Got sidetracked. All updated now.
Tundra 07.11.19	John William's - Anakin vs. Obi Wan, https://youtu.be/P1k5zo0w6N8 oh yeah, this is quality right here
ArsMoriendi 07.11.19	For Slothcore: “Do They Owe Us a Living?” by Crass from their album The Feeding of the 5000 I’ve been listening to this recently and Sloth loves punk and this is one of those bands every punk fan should hear. Penis Envy is a better album of theirs though.
Divaman 07.12.19	Sorry Pappa. The link for "Papa Poppa" by The Good Rats is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSWx6fM-Ol8
Divaman 07.12.19	Rating for Saiko - 2.1. Just didn't do it for me.
Trifolium 07.12.19	Ok, here goes number two: Emiliana Torrini - Fingertips (from Love In The Time Of Science) From me to: Johnny https://youtu.be/feYRs0hE5SE
Papa Universe 07.12.19	link, Arse
Trifolium 07.12.19	Oh, what joy one extra 'e' can bring
Papa Universe 07.12.19	I don't think that ArsMoriendi, of all people, will have anything against butts.
Trifolium 07.12.19	Tush-é
Papa Universe 07.12.19	Douché
Egarran 07.12.19	Something something I want some Kush.
Asdfp277 07.12.19	Kush-é

Asdfp277 07.12.19	cuz other people might vote too!! >:]
Minushuman24 07.12.19	do they owe us a living? of course they fucking do
Papa Universe 07.12.19	they do owe us a link tho
neekafat 07.12.19	this theme is scaring me away can I just rec something without doing it? I'm sorry ):
Papa Universe 07.12.19	sure. you will, as usual for neek, be rec'ing something for everyone.
budgie 07.12.19	no one's rec'd me anything suicide
garas 07.12.19	"...And Counting" - Not bad, I expected some boom to happen at the end but it was just meh. 2.6 "Express" - It was boring, I hate this cover, and it lasted 5 fuckin' minutes... 2.3
Papa Universe 07.12.19	this might not be your thing, but my second rec is: The Burning of Rome - Terrible Tales from Tocqueville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4qwBTAMZwg
garas 07.12.19	I'll rec something for you, if I'll have the chance! :]
Trifolium 07.12.19	''idk how this is any different than me just spamming your inbox'' < 3 I know how you felt until you saved me budgie!
Trifolium 07.12.19	And Counting: Cheesy tearjerker. Not for me. 2.1 Express: First few seconds made me think of Madonna. Very 90s, very awesome. Love her voice, that bassline is delish, el nombre es Bond, James Bond. Maybe I'll let this album go on for a little longer. 3.8
Egarran 07.12.19	Well why not give Budgie a Decemberists song we all love? The Queen's Rebuke, in which the arrogant goddess of the woods talks about how awesome she is: https://youtu.be/qeUHUYaT-WU Sorry bout the ending, I'm afraid it is a concept album.
Papa Universe 07.12.19	there's a Decemberists song people love?
ArsMoriendi 07.12.19	My Dad LOVES The Decemberists (100% serious comment, he likes lot of popular indie folk)
ArsMoriendi 07.12.19	Sorry Papa, here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhjpFBGbtvY
Papa Universe 07.12.19	and I LOVE when people give me links to their recs
ArsMoriendi 07.12.19	You're welcome then :^)
Papa Universe 07.12.19	ty
ArsMoriendi 07.12.19	Papa can you change it to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Furrw0VDpWM The other version was the single version and I wanna use the album version
Egarran 07.13.19	>there's a Decemberists song people love? Well it is unusually heavy and has guest vocals.
ArsMoriendi 07.13.19	"...And Counting" HER NAME IS IN ALL CAPS SO I'M GONNA WRITE THIS IN ALL CAPS. HER VOICE IS GENERIC AND POPPY AND HAS THAT TYPICAL MODERN SOFT RASP A LOT OF POP SINGERS HAVE FOR SOME REASON, BUT I LIKE THE STRINGS I SUPPOSE. THIS IS A BORING GENERIC BALLAD, LET'S BE REAL HERE. 2.4/5 "Express" Very 90s alternative, but in Japanese. Not too impressive, but the bass is nice enough and her voice is engaging actually. 3.2/5
Divaman 07.13.19	I like some Decemberists songs. Not all, but some.
Asdfp277 07.13.19	"Very 90s alternative, but in Japanese." ur being facetious right? it's spanish xD
budgie 07.13.19	"I know how you felt until you saved me budgie!" if we were drowning together i would sacrifice myself to push you up no one else though, no one else maybe that really hot girl at school i see everyday
ArsMoriendi 07.13.19	"ur being facetious right? it's spanish xD" Yes.
Asdfp277 07.13.19	ah xD
Trifolium 07.13.19	Ahaha budgie! Best idea ever Egarran, that album rules so hard. I'm going to listen to it immediately.
Egarran 07.13.19	It wasn"t enough to save me from drowning ):
Trifolium 07.13.19	But if we set up something like a buddy system none of us drown. It would take some planning but I'm sure we could manage.
garas 07.13.19	drowns
garas 07.13.19	"Memories of Love" - Nice song. It would be perfect as background music in a bar or something~ 3.0 (+Nice video.)
Trifolium 07.13.19	Nooo garas! Have this life vest! ...Wait, Egarran, are you dead now? How's the afterlife? What's it like?
Egarran 07.13.19	It was only a hypothetical drowning. Phew, right? And this is no place for a talk about the afterlife.
Trifolium 07.13.19	Phew indeed. Memories Of Love: That beat is nice, love the rasp. Vox remind me of New Order. Nice contrast, and those bottle-like synth sounds are nice too. Track is a bit flat otherwise, but still enjoyable. 3.0
budgie 07.13.19	OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo iAmSpeAkIng toOoOo yOoOu froOoOm the BeYoOoOoOoOnd i AaAm aGhOoOoOoOost etc.
Egarran 07.13.19	That's how it sounds underwater amirite?
budgie 07.13.19	blub blub blub 🐟🐟🐟
Egarran 07.13.19	Well 🐠 🐠 🐠 here.
Divaman 07.14.19	I actually have two days off from rating songs, as I have two recs in a row -- the last song of the first cycle of the month, and the first song of the second cycle. Yay days off!
garas 07.14.19	"Papa Poppa" - This is a fantastic song, I love it! Especially those solos...! 4.3
Egarran 07.14.19	Celestial - This sounds like those loops I made on a flash player ten years ago. Oh Joe, I want you to come over so I can watch you clean my house to this. 2.5/5 ...And Counting - She's a good singer, but the music was very plodding. Especially that piano, gah. 2.9 Express - Nice sounds. The distorted guitar is delicious. In fact this is so 90s. I wish they stepped it up even more at the climax. 3.7/5 Memories of Love - It's a bit like ^Lights. They just don't seem like they care. Who the hell made this guy a vocalist? 2.9/5 Papa Poppa - It made me think of Atom Heart Mother at first, but then it became just too 70s for me. 3/5 Norwegian Reggaeton - Pretty fantastic, just about two minutes too long. Ars is gonna LOVE this. 4/5 Dude - You know something about me that I don't, because my inner child/American totally resonated with this. It's like Stormtroopers of Death from a benign mirror universe. 4/5
SlothcoreSam 07.15.19	Hey Ega, glad you enjoyed it, i was totally guessing with this one. The album actually has some other good stuff on it as well. It's kinda funky thrash.
JohnnyoftheWell 07.15.19	Can't Cheat Karma - This is fun. A little drier and more angular than the classic punk sound, makes me think of Mission of Burma. Tight band, got me tapping my foot etc 3.8 The Rising of the Dark Lord - Hey, this is pretty upbeat for doom! Crisp guitar tones too, nice. The harmonised riffs are there, but they've got more bounce and energy than I expected; quite enjoyed this for the first couple of minutes, but then it pulled a doom metal and meandered itself to oblivion without really switching gear. Outro is pure cheese but kinda ok 3.3 Something I Learned Today - I'm way overdue when it comes to checking this band properly. This slams as expected; kinda thought it would be a primitive version of Surfer Rosa or School Girl Distortional Addict, but it rips harder than the former and is more immediate than the latter. Extra points for that backing vox and short outro, really nice touches. 4 Pra Fuder - The music here is excellent and her vocal tone has something going for it, but that kind of aspirated, lispy Spanish is one of my pet hates. Still dig this quite a bit, it has a feverish kind of energy that got under my skin 4 [to be continued]
Divaman 07.15.19	Nanowar of Steel - This was very lovely. I'll give it a 3.6. Who doesn't love a Norwegian Reggaethon?
Trifolium 07.15.19	''it has a feverish kind of energy that got under my skin'' < 3 Exactly what I love about it too. The energy is undeniable.
Minushuman24 07.15.19	I'll catch up on this soon enough. But I had a thought after seeing a dad rock band yesterday for a future theme. Great songs by bands deemed "cheesy" or "lame"?
Egarran 07.15.19	Sounds good. Cheesy > Lame though.
Trifolium 07.16.19	Hmm yeah, sounds good! Maybe you should just August, Minus? Or did someone already volunteer?
Divaman 07.16.19	Scatterbrain - 2.1 -- Dude wasn't funny.
JustJoe. 07.17.19	I’m not so good at cleaning. Perhaps that explains things, Eg.
Divaman 07.17.19	Crass - 2.3 -- Do I owe them a good rating? Of course I don't, of course I don't! Emiliana Torrini - 2.5 -- I kind of like her voice, but I didn't feel like the song went anywhere. (I accidentally got a day ahead).
Trifolium 07.17.19	Yeah her voice is awesome.
Papa Universe 07.17.19	Jesus, I still have to put all of those goddamn ratings on the list. Uugh
Trifolium 07.17.19	That was a chore/bore, agreed. But it does stimulate participation I think.
osmark86 07.17.19	yalloha! might as well rec something for this if you'll have it. I've been in a bit of a sentimental mood these past few weeks so there's been less metal and more weepy stuff for me as of late. Bag of cheese or not, this is a song by a Swedish artist from the same town that I lived in for 3 years will mostly studying to a degree I couldn't be arsed about today: Loney, Dear - Sum For all my boys in the casual corner.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-Ie6h7gXrc album link for reference: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=263664 also, will check some of the earlier entries here as I'm kinda starving to get out of my loop of reiterating stuff I've loved throughout the years.
Egarran 07.17.19	>I’m not so good at cleaning. Perhaps that explains things, Eg. I see a cleaning maid who needs to be punished. snaps belt
osmark86 07.17.19	Zounds - Can't Cheat Karma: 3.0 I like the lyrics and the cocky carefree very UK approach. not really a huge fan of the instrumentals however, but this was a fun song all in all. not going into the playlist however, soz paps.
osmark86 07.17.19	Xinlisupreme - Fatal Sisters Opened Umbrella: 2.0 sorry Johnny, but this really wasn't my cup of tea. I thought it started off decently, but it quickly became kind of tedious and the chaotic section that follows, albiet pretty cool and noisy, went on for far too long to be enjoyable. about halfway through I kinda wished it would end ^^.
Egarran 07.17.19	Good to see ossy, just - You must have been absent when we made this rule: You can't say sorry to people because of the implication that they give a fuck.
osmark86 07.17.19	Pagan Altar - Rising of the Dark Lord: 3.5 sometimes it's wanky, sometimes it's heavy, throughout it's epic. really enjoyed the final portion of the song with the singing and soloing sounding like a doomier version of Lynyrd Skynyrd. the vocals have that nasal quality that really works with this genre. is he channeling his inner Ozzy? and the guitars play some fine classic riffs that I really have no complaints with. they bangz! I probably might have enjoyed this slightly more if this genre hadn't been so overly saturated over these past few years, but this is definitely top quality doom. cheers!
osmark86 07.17.19	sorry Egarran
JustJoe. 07.17.19	💋
osmark86 07.17.19	Hüsker Dü - Something I Learned Today: 3.5 I learned that I liked this song and that Hüsker Dü seem like a pretty badass pünk crü.
Egarran 07.17.19	>sorry Egarran Breaks down into fetal position
SlothcoreSam 07.18.19	9. Wires, 3.8. Cool song from an album i listened to a bit when it came out. 10. Celestial, 2.9, summer chill that doesn't excite me. 11. ...and counting, 3.0 great voice, song is gentle. 12. Express, 3.0, a 90s sounding tune that i won't revisit. 13. Memories of love, 3.3, guy sounds like he is singing in his sleep, but it matches the song, so it's all good. The whole song feels like a dream. 14. Tasty, 3.5 tasty surf guitars, or is this on the uke, could easily listen to this whilst chilling on the beach sipping on cocktails. Then it picks up, where is the "fuck yeah" at the end if the song? 15. Norwegian Reggaeton, 3.4. Hello Eurovision. Well that's what i feel watching this. 17. Do they owe us a living? 3.9, love this anarcho punk shit. Thanks CrassMoriendi, i agree they do have better songs than this. 18. Fingertips- 3.7 start reminds me of massive attack. Vocals sound childish in a non-pedo good way. I like this, going to have to explore more. 19. The burning of Rome- 4.2 It's a spaghetti western theme, or was. Just turned into goth-punk, no wait it has changed again. Is this a musical? I like it, is the rest of the album like this?
Papa Universe 07.18.19	the whole Burning of Rome shtick is that they're making a space-age theatrical prog-pop. I think they used to call it a Jewish Cabaret Musical
Trifolium 07.18.19	Nice rating Sloth!!! Definitely worth checking out of you dig that track.
budgie 07.18.19	eh papa never added my rec for trip
Trifolium 07.18.19	Hahaha! There it is again. Super sad about that too, these are conflicted feelings.
Papa Universe 07.18.19	You were being an ass for a while then. I'm going to add it, but you have to promise you'll behave, budgierboy.
Asdfp277 07.18.19	papa dude, do i add my ratings to the spreadsheet myself?
Papa Universe 07.18.19	Didn't you until now?
Divaman 07.18.19	Is there a spreadsheet somewhere I should be adding the ratings to?
osmark86 07.18.19	I second that question as I might be doing this all wrong
Asdfp277 07.18.19	"Didn't you until now?" i act now, ask later
Trifolium 07.18.19	Yeah you can add your ratings in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yo9Aj7t1IZwG41xFgX9kzIugIsVckENq5RnQace1WDw/edit#gid=677184529
osmark86 07.18.19	Want to add another one for Trif because I think you'd dig + it's one of the best covers I've heard (original bangs too): The Sea And Cake - Sound & Vision https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAyQgegEjzI album link: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=102745#a I'm sure Papa has already heard this and approves ^^
Papa Universe 07.18.19	oh yeah, that's a nice one
ArsMoriendi 07.18.19	I'll catch up on this tomorrow probably
Trifolium 07.19.19	[2]
Divaman 07.19.19	The Burning of Rome - 3.1 - It would be higher, except for the parts where it slows down and the female vocalist slides in. Nothing against her voice - it just goes from rocky to theatrical in a way that feels off to me.
Egarran 07.19.19	Do They Owe Us a Living? - Well this further underlines the fundamental split between ars' and my music taste. We agree on a lot of things, but punk vs. metal is an age old cosmic conflict. 2/5
Trifolium 07.19.19	Papa Poppa: Too long, yet not bad. 2.5 Norwegian Reggaeton: Sillyyy! Obvious joke around music. The real reggaeton-elements do still annoy me a lot. 2.0 Don't Call Me Dude: What is it with all the parody tracks? Or isn't this one? I'm confused. It's quite nice, but nothing I would listen to again. Veeery long though. I'm beginning to wonder if I have a short attention span... 2.5 Do They Owe Us A Living?: Hahaha Ars again. Ok. At least this one's short, it's also very ugly. 2.5 Terrible Tales From Tocqueville: Very musical-like. The cover is nice. Music is ok! 2.8 The Queen's Rebuke: This album is totally amazing and I should have rec'd something from this months ago. One of my faves, super mega hard 5.0
Divaman 07.20.19	The Decemberists - 2.9 - Not bad, but I prefer The Decemberists in REM mode.
Trifolium 07.20.19	Is it time for third recs by the way Papa? I've got one for budgie, super weird that I didn't think about this earlier...
Egarran 07.20.19	Ooh trifo I like it when you're like that. I have another song, mostly for budgie because BIRBS. The Last Sighs of the Wind - Bird's Song https://youtu.be/c0xlm1g-uhI This lovely post-rock album is a total secret on sput, I hope we can change that.
Trifolium 07.20.19	Haha, like what? Bowery Electric - Fear Of Flying https://youtu.be/KRw67JydRDM From me to budgie It's cool. Pure 90s shoegazy, trip-hoppy goodness.
Egarran 07.20.19	Those harsh ratings except mine makes me feel special.
Trifolium 07.20.19	You've earned it completely.
Egarran 07.20.19	I surely hope Budgie can deal with all this attention.
Trifolium 07.20.19	Yeah, was wondering the same. From 0 to 4 recs in 13 days...
Egarran 07.20.19	Knowing him, he will get just a bit too hyper about it, but in an adorable way.
Divaman 07.20.19	Here's my third. Eurythmics - This City Never Sleeps (from the Sweet Dreams album) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITuBoXM4jPo&list=PLWprWK6AVnu7eSM9NzDkJclQ1KKqjrTdb&index=16&t=0s It's for Trifolium, and also for anyone who lives in a large city. It's a mellow song from their electronic pop days.
Trifolium 07.20.19	Oooh nice! I've always wanted to check them out.
ArsMoriendi 07.20.19	"Memories Of Love" Sounds cool so far. Very electronic and floaty and there's one of rhythm sticks. His voice is kinda bland, but the cool sounds make up for it. 3.4/5 "Papa Poppa" Acoustic guitar, deep bass guitar, soloing electronic guitar. Those vocals suck and the direction is really bland. This is like the least special hard rock song I've ever heard. Is it bad? No. Is it good? No. It is. 2.5/5 "Norwegian Reggaeton" Reggaeton metal? lol Probably 1,000x times more interesting than actual reggaeton. I bet Mike Patton would approve of this tenfold. Like would a regular reggaeton song use xylophone? I THINK NOT! IS HE PARODYING ZOMBIE BY CRANBERRIES? What. -.1 for being Italian and not Norweigan. Oddly, this is actually tolerable in its novelty. 3/5
ArsMoriendi 07.20.19	"Don't Call Me Dude" Doo-wop funk thrash? Ugh, thrash is so lame that it's ruining the better elements. Fun lyrics though. 2.7/5 "Fingertips" Sick beat. I like the rattling machine sounds. Her voice is sweet. Trip-hop is such a damn good genre. It's very sensual and the strings and piano brighten it up. Ooh, that acoustic guitar works well too. Best song of the month. 4.4/5 "Terrible Tales from Tocqueville" Not big on the vocals or honestly anything happening here. Just without interesting substance. 2.2/5 "The Queen's Rebuke" Since when have they been edgy nu-prog? I thought they were indie folk. I was never big on Decemberists, but this direction is just so ugh. It's like, we get it, you wanted to be Muse for 1 song, but hey guys guess what? Muse sucks. 2/5
Trifolium 07.20.19	ARS < 333333333333333
ArsMoriendi 07.20.19	For Egarran: "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station" by Frank Zappa (from Zoot Allures) Prog/hard rock that's awesome, euphorically crazy, and critical of society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOhVbjsxlH0
Egarran 07.20.19	I'm emotionally torn rn.
ArsMoriendi 07.20.19	Who is hosting next month? If no one, I can I have a good theme
Trifolium 07.20.19	I don't think anyone volunteered for August yet.
Divaman 07.21.19	Loney, Dear - 3.1. Liked it.
Asdfp277 07.21.19	"Norwegian Reggaeton" is a good rec, pos. Better than actual reggaeton [2]
ArsMoriendi 07.22.19	"Sum" Boring, very poppy, and empty sounding. 2.5/5
Divaman 07.22.19	Teen Daze - 3.0 -- I like the sound, but the song doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Trifolium 07.22.19	I'll play catch up on this when I return from France, on the last day of the month. Bye for now!
Divaman 07.23.19	Sea and Cake - 3.3 -- Might raise it at some point, too.
Divaman 07.23.19	(singing:) "Poppa Papa, where have you gone?" We're out of songs after today, although there are some new suggestions in the comments above.
ArsMoriendi 07.23.19	Papa update
SlothcoreSam 07.24.19	Yo I need my paps! Here is a rec for Papa, if there is room left. King Krule- Dum Surfer Off The OOZ. It's like Tom Waits had a kid and he wanted to rap in a post punk vocal style. https://youtu.be/K5-f1Bnltu8
Divaman 07.24.19	Well, here were the songs that were rec'd since Papa last updated (artist - song) 24th - The Last Sigh's of the Wind - Bird's Songs 25th - Bowery Electric - Fear of Flying 26th - Eurythmics - This City Never Sleeps 27th - Frank Zappa - Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station 28th - King Krule - Dum Surfer Room for three more recs before the end of the month.
Divaman 07.24.19	The Last Sighs of the Wind - 3.1 - I loved the opening, but was a little disappointed at where the song went.
Divaman 07.24.19	I added those last five songs listed above "Bird's Songs" through "Dum Surfer" to the speadsheet. But the list will have to stay as it is until Papa gets home from the strip club.
Egarran 07.24.19	Thanks, good work.
garas 07.25.19	Big catch-up: "Don't Call Me Dude" - Kinda cool and sometimes really irritating, but not bad. 2.6 "Do They Owe Us a Living?" - This is just bad. 1.8 "Fingertips" - I felt like I heard this sometime, but I can't recall where and when... 2.7 "Terrible Tales from Tocqueville" - I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not in the beginning, but in the end: this song is excellent. 4.0 "The Queen's Rebuke" - Very good stuff. I especially loved the second half of the song. It was like a great mixture of Red Fang + Church of the Cosmic Skull. 4.1 "Sum" - I didn't like it, and it was boring. "Four More Years" - Surprisingly good, I ended up listening to the whole album. 3.7 "Sound and Vision" - It was okay. 2.5 "Bird's Songs" - It was good, maybe "less could have been more". 3.0 "Fear of Flying" - It was okay. 2.5
ArsMoriendi 07.25.19	Someone doesn’t like punk
garas 07.25.19	Yeah, punk is not my thing, I prefer hardcore mixed with other genres.
Egarran 07.26.19	Punk isn't dead, it just sounds like shit. Wait, that's not how it goes. Sorry, Ars.
garas 07.26.19	"This City Never Sleeps" - It was okay. Nice song, but wasn't any extra for me, it was good in the background.
neekafat 07.26.19	31 taken? I'll finally rec something (:
Divaman 07.26.19	There are still a few spots for July, Neeka. Papa has been offline for a few days, though, but we can at least add it to the spread sheet.
Egarran 07.27.19	A few days? I feel like when dad went for cigs and never came back.
Egarran 07.27.19	Fingertips - Damn this girl is clearly on shrooms. Strong Morcheeba vibes. 3.2/5 The Burning of Rome - Now strong Ayreon vibes here. Would fit seamlessley on one of his albums. Very nice. 3.8/5 Sum - I wish something more happened at the halfway point. This doesn't really lift off. But it does sound like good weeping music. 3.2/5 Four More Years - Even if this riff was played on a distorted, down-tuned guitar I would probably dislike it. And then the song just weirdly ends. I feel like I'm looking at a painting, going 'sheesh, my budgie could have painted this.' 2.9/5 Sound and Vision - I always disliked Bowie's sleazy disco version, so this is better. But it stil gives me a slight nausea. Nice video. 2.7/5
Divaman 07.27.19	Nothing we can do, but to be honest, I'm concerned about him. Last time he just disappeared like this, he had some major health issues. I'm sending him my best vibes.
garas 07.27.19	I hope Papa U. is alright...!
Egarran 07.27.19	His twitter profile doesn't help a lot. I also quit the same month I made an account.
budgie 07.27.19	egarrraaaaaaaaan
Egarran 07.27.19	Buuuddgiiiie! I thought of you again: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/ci3ydd/he_feels_very_accomplished/
budgie 07.27.19	i've never felt so connected with another beast before maybe this guy https://i.imgur.com/yRRPhls.jpg shout out to r/partyparrot r/birbs r/birdsbeingdicks which are collectively the only reason i think i ever go to the site anymore
ArsMoriendi 07.28.19	Time to catch up! "Four More Years" Psychedelic so far. Shitty drum machine. This seems like background music. Nothing is grabbing me I suppose. 2.6/5
Minushuman24 07.28.19	re forever ago, I probably won't host for a while, considering I can barely get myself to sit and listen half the time. But feel free to steal the theme anyone. I need a break from this fucking Chance the Rapper album, jesus. 12. Express - Saiko - 13. Memories of Love - Future Bible Heroes - Kind of a 80's goth feel to this, but a little too light sounding to fully capture that sound. This is fine, I dig the vocal melody, but I don't think I'll ever come back to this. 3.1 14. Papa Poppa - Good Rats - This is some dad rock if I ever heard it, holy shit. I really like the chorus in this song, but I hate those verses. 3 15. Norwegian Reggaeton - Nanowar of Steel - I don't think I know what Reggaeton really is, come to think of it. I kinda hated this... and then It grew on me really fast, I kinda dig this. I feel like I'm not supposed to, but I kindddda do 3.4 16. Don't Call Me Dude - Scatterbrain - I didn't really listen to the lyrics on that one, so I didn't pay attention to the "comedy" that others have mentioned past some certain lines. Seems par for the course in the realm of thrash/crossover bands. This was pretty fun sounding metal song though, which is rare for me nowadays. Not as good as Norwegian Reggaeton tho. 3.2 17. Do They Owe Us A Living? - Crass - Of course they fucking do. 4
ArsMoriendi 07.28.19	"Sound and Vision" Spacey sounding so far. Pretty guitar tone, the bass is mixed well, and I like those staticy drums. It's a pretty original cover and I usually scrutinize covers pretty hard. It's taking a while for the lyrics to come in hmm. The vocals are bland and robotic though, certainly the worst part of the song. Abrupt ending... 3.6/5 (Bowie's is like a 4.8/5, so it's a downgrade) "Bird's Song" So, it's just soloing? Meh. +.2 for being talented soloing. 2.7/5 "Fear Of Flying" Sick as fuck percussion, great bass too! The guitar and vocals make this so shoegaze which is meh. It's weird how certain elements of this song make me go "wow!" and others make me go "meh" so I'm conflicted. 3.5/5 "This City Never Sleeps" Well, I already like their biggest hit, so here goes nothing! The synth bass is good, the atmosphere is foggy which is neat. Those vocals are super 80s hmmm. This is kinda creepy in a good way. 3.9/5
Divaman 07.28.19	Frank Zappa - 2.3 - never really got into Zappa, except for We're Only in It for the Money, and few odds and ends.
ArsMoriendi 07.28.19	D:
Divaman 07.28.19	Um, sorry about that.
Egarran 07.28.19	Ars is such a fragile flower.
Divaman 07.28.19	Guys, I think we need three more songs for the 29th through 31st. I already recommended three songs for July, so I don't want to e a song hog. Who else has songs to carry us through the month?
Divaman 07.28.19	Bowery Electric - 3.0 - it's repetitive, but I liked it. (I forgot to write this one down earlier.) Dum Surfer - 2.0 - I liked the video a lot, but the song not so much.
Minushuman24 07.28.19	I got one for big papa. Frustration - Electric Heat Heard it on the radio, it jams, hopefully you'll like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsRpBMgNc6Q
Minushuman24 07.28.19	And if we are in dire need of a third rec, I got one for neeks Pressed 2 Death - Illuminati Hotties Kind of that nice indie pop rock, this is one of her more "aggressive" songs. Hopefully you get to it, and more importantly, like it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMPrvE6tbQE
Divaman 07.28.19	OK, I added those two to the spreadsheet, Minus, for the 29th and 30th. Neeka, or anyone, have you got one last song for the 31st?
Divaman 07.29.19	I'll give Frustration a 3.0. I only gave it a 2.3 the first time, but I think I was just grumpy last night. Sounds better to me today.
Egarran 07.29.19	Fear of Flying - Despite my best efforts I'm picturing Trifo and Budgie making lazy love to this. 3/5 This City Never Sleeps - What, this is also a lazy porn song. Could be worse but YAAWN 3/5 Wind up Workin' in a Gas Station - Ah, Zappa. He's clearly a genius and most excellent on the guitar. But it's all so tongue-in-cheek. Ah it eventually gets groovy, nice. Thanks! 3.5/5 Dum Surfer - WTH IS GOING ON. Do I like this? There are many ugly elements, but it's somehow strangely alluring. Great rec! 3.7/5 Electric Heat - Damn there's a lot of punk this month, it hurts my average a lot. 2.7/5 Pressed 2 Death - Another great rec. Good, fun, original. 3.7/5
neekafat 07.29.19	Yes! Okay, this is for budgie: Shawn Colvin - The Facts About Jimmy (from A Few Small Repairs): A slice of cold, stark female singer-songwriter feels from the 90s, whose minimalist instrumentation and pained lyrics I feel largely acted as a precursor to the current revival of the genre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPhPM7pwags
neekafat 07.29.19	Thanks for the patience guys, sorry for my lack of participation as of late (:
neekafat 07.29.19	Oh budgie got three recs! My last memory was him begging for some, oh well lol
Papa Universe 07.29.19	so ive put the songs up. i hope you wont mind if i dont update the ratings or finish listening to the songs this month (or probably the next one either). its been tough lately.
SlothcoreSam 07.29.19	Dum Surfer is one of those songs you should hate, but every time i hear it, i want more. The rest of King Krule is nothing like this.
ArsMoriendi 07.29.19	"Dum Surfer" Good bass so far. Wow, he's so English, almost to an obnoxious level, but this is fairly original sounding and I kinda dig it. Discordant and atmospheric and with a saxophone. Neat. 3.9/5 "Pressed 2 Death" Is this late age Devo? Pretty boring honestly. 2.5/5
Divaman 07.30.19	The Illuminati Hotties - 2.4 - the stops and starts and speed changes annoyed me.
Egarran 07.30.19	Hi papa, good to see you. Just be patient and know you are in our prayers and other rituals.
Papa Universe 07.30.19	Why am I in your prayers? I ain't dead yet.
Egarran 07.30.19	You can pray for living people. At least my gods accept it.
budgie 07.30.19	barbaric laughter CROM doesn't care
Egarran 07.30.19	This year I learned that Conan and I have the same alignment. So yeah, I should look into that Crom dude.
garas 07.30.19	"Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station" - I still need some time to truly appreciate Zappa. 3.0 "Dum Surfer" - Ugh... I hate this. 1.2 "Electric Heat" - I don't like this either. 2.0 "Pressed 2 Death" - A silly, catchy fun song. 3.2
Egarran 07.30.19	Haha I want to hear more reaction to Dum Surfer, garas.
Papa Universe 07.30.19	Dum Surfer sounds like what Soundcloud rappers would have been like, had they all been into post-punk, instead of emo.
Egarran 07.30.19	Is this the fabled 'Dream Punk' that was promised?
SlothcoreSam 07.30.19	@ Papa. But do you like the song? I did rec it for you after all.
Papa Universe 07.30.19	I've heard the album. The ratings are corresponding.
SlothcoreSam 07.30.19	Yeah, i noticed you listened and rated the album a 3, but hoped you like this song more than that, as it unique compared to the rest of the album. This song was the stand out off the album for me, and it didn't match my album rating of 3.
Divaman 07.31.19	Shawn Colvin - 3.2 - laid back, but good.
Trifolium 07.31.19	I'm going to catch up today, at the last possible moment. I hope...
ArsMoriendi 07.31.19	"Pressed 2 Death" Kinda obnoxious, but in a fun way. Not bad. Reminds me of that Garfunkel and Oats duo a bit though. 3.5/5 "The Facts About Jimmy" This one's catchy and certainly has good drums. This is a woman, so why the fuck is she named "Shawn" DAMN YOU HIP NEW AGE PARENTS! This is very adult-contemporary. It makes me wonder if neeka is an old man trapped in a young man's body. 3.1/5 ALSO whose hosting next month? I can if no one else wants to.
ArsMoriendi 08.01.19	New SotD is up
budgie 08.01.19	how many more days left in july
Divaman 08.01.19	You rock, Ars. None, budgie.
budgie 08.01.19	terrible tales from tocqueville: i guess there's there an undercurrent motif from one of the morricone tracks in one of the spaghetti westerns in this track but i cannot remember which. this track overall just had way too much going on and i don't like that jumbled shit, probably would have liked it if it stuck to one gear, sorry bro. 2.0 the decemberists - queens rebuke. vocals were nice but i don't like the 90s alt rock grunge whatever rhythm sound and then all of out of nowhere we're doin occult proggy 70s shit 2.0 sorry bro srsly wtf you guys dont know me at all bird's song - bird songs with chilled post rock instrumentation wtf why haven't i heard this before i am gonna buy this album asap. reminds me of saxon shore but saxon shore doesn't even have birds 4.5 fear of flying - uinghhhhhh this is so sweet. dreamy vox brought from a certain 3.5 to a 4+ for me. is the entire album so chill? 4.0 with room to grow gotta check the full thing for sure. also the soundscape in this track really makes me think of france for some reason. the album art matches the sound perfectly shawn colvin - pretty much didn't like this but halfway through the song i was bumpin along with it so 3.0+. pretty lukewarm in general with country vibes which explains my low rating but it's a good track through and through
Trifolium 08.01.19	Yes budgie yes it is, the album is super worth it. Glad you dig!
Trifolium 08.01.19	Thanks Ars for the new one, and Papa for this cool theme!
SlothcoreSam 08.02.19	20. Queens rebuke. 2.9 21. Sum. 3.6 Is this bon iver? I like it. 22. Four more years. 3.0 23. Sound and vision. 3.3 24. Bird's song. 3.5. 25. Fear of flying. 2.3 26. This city never sleeps. 2.6 27. Wind up workin in a gas station. 3.3 29. Electric heat. 3.1 30. Pressed to death. 3.5. This is one of my last favorites off this album. It's a killer album though. 31. The facts about jimmy. 3.0 Done, thanks for the hosting Papa
Trifolium 08.02.19	Hey Sloth! You did exactly what I'm doing now, catching uppppp. Ratings incoming!
Trifolium 08.02.19	Sum: Like the pulsating bass synth, love the vibes, vox remind me a bit of Bon Iver or something, don't know for certain. Not bad at all! 3.0 Four More Years: Thanks budg! Great beat, love the echo and that vocal effect is cooool. Makes me think of Blanck Mass with less noise. Now some Justice vibes come in. Cool track, will check the rest of this little thingy! 3.8 Sound and Vision: Os you were so right, this is awesome. I dig big time, what a smooth, consistent cover with superb flow. 4.0 Bird's Song: I'm not that big on instrumental rock music, I always feel like something is missing. 2.3 This City Never Sleeps: Another big bulls eye this. Thanks for the rec Diva, love it! I'm putting this album on top of my list for sure, whoa. Super mega dig these vibes. 4.3 Wind Up Workin' In A Gas Station: Some cool atmosphere here for sure, love how this is mixed. Plus the guitar playing of course, great. 3.5 Dum Surfer: I've checked this album once, loved it, put it in my Discogs wishlist and never checked it again, although it keeps popping up daily. Maybe I should finally buy it because I still enjoy this. That low bass, echoing drums, weird guitar layer and those cool vox. 3.7 Electric Heat: Not really my thing, especially those vocals. 2.1 Illuminati Hotties: This on the other hand is quite cool! Love the dynamics here. Big energy and relax in the sun vibes in two minutes. 3.3 The Facts About Jimmy: This is totally great! Now I get where Melody Gardot got her inspiration for Currency Of Man (which is a great album!) from. This album is also going on the list! 4.0
Egarran 08.03.19	> instrumental rock music Err dude, it's called Bird's Song? So I guess now it has to be a human singing, ok then, racist.
Trifolium 08.03.19	Haha, touché. Birds singing in music is adorable.
budgie 08.03.19	typical racist hollandaise
Trifolium 08.03.19	Hollandaise is made out of unborn birds :-(
