Trifolium
07.23.20 | Elza Soares - A Mulher Do Fim Do Mundo
Don't know if this is your cup of tea at all but I love her. A Brazilian samba goddess, who had the most difficult life, riddled with poverty, growing up in the slums, children passing away, etc etc etc. This provided her with a voice which would even scare Tom Waits. On this album, which she recorded when she was in her 70s, she teams up with a group of young Brazilian musicians with similar backgrounds, resulting in something super cool. |
Trifolium
07.23.20 | Oh wait a second, I see you know her. Hmmm. Would have worked too, a 4.0 I see!
I'll think of something else... |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | Yeah I think got rec’d in season 1. Excellent album! |
Minushuman24
07.23.20 | I just realized I have a near zero knowledge of south american music outside of like, sepultura and a couple hardcore bands |
Minushuman24
07.23.20 | A Divina Comédia ou Ando Meio Desligado - Os Mutantes?
This shall be my placeholder |
Sniff
07.23.20 | Here goes nothing
Amon Tobin - Permutation [come to brasil] |
Sniff
07.23.20 | I guess he's from Brasil but haven't lived there in a long ass time. Let me know if i should pick something else |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | Minushman I’m sorry I’ve already heard that os mutantes record I just haven’t rated it for some reason! |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | Sniff I did some minor research and it seems like dude was jus born in Brazil and moved to England pretty early on. I’m not sure if this counts. But if you don’t have anything else then I guess it’s fine. |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | Botulist is that your rec because I’m pretty sure that’s an English band. |
Trifolium
07.23.20 | Ok, I'm going to go down a totally different road, reeeeaaaaally hope you like this but it's a wild shot. Very lovely electronic/downtempo/house album:
Nicolas Jaar - Space Is Only Noise (from Chile).
He's lovely. Nicely intricate soundscapes, some absolutely weird stuff going on. I still can't really grasp this one, although I've spent time with it since its release a decade ago. What I do know is that I love its mysterious vibes. |
Sniff
07.23.20 | Hmm Mexico is south america to me. Is it to you? |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | It’s Probably technically north but sure Mexico is fine. |
Minushuman24
07.23.20 | you're killin me shark.
I guess I could do AAL. but I don't think you'd dig house that much |
bloodshy
07.23.20 | Mexico is in South America now, so everyone should be fine. |
Minushuman24
07.23.20 | lmao |
Trifolium
07.23.20 | ''Mexico (Spanish: México [ˈmexiko]); Nahuan languages: Mēxihco), officially the United Mexican States (Spanish: Estados Unidos Mexicanos; EUM [esˈtaðos uˈniðoz mexiˈkanos]), is a country in the southern portion of North America.'' Crazy! |
Sniff
07.23.20 | All spanish speaking countries are south america |
Trifolium
07.23.20 | Oh my goodness look at how confusing this is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number
According to this, you mean Latin America Sniff, not South America. Too confusing. |
Sniff
07.23.20 | Okay for real no games anymore.
Nubosidad Parcial - Fractal also from chile |
botulist
07.23.20 | you missed my rec! |
Sharkattack
07.23.20 | Bot I responded by saying I’m pretty sure that band is from England. Are they not? |
bloodshy
07.23.20 | Chili.
Yum |
bloodshy
07.23.20 | I'm submitting Disco Popular by The Mexican Institute of Sound.
Salsa/hip hop from Mexico. |
botulist
07.24.20 | band? the album is Yma Sumac - Inca Taqui, she's an experimental Peruvian opera singer |
Divaman
07.24.20 | What's a Recfect? |
Trifolium
07.24.20 | I don't know. The only thing Google knows about that is that there are two people who are called Recfect on Facebook. |
bloodshy
07.24.20 | He was trying to type "breakfast" like on the last list. You guys know this.
Btw, anyone know the limit on how many albums can be in a list? |
Sharkattack
07.24.20 | I swear that link took me to a moody blues album botulist. My brain is deteriorating. |
Trifolium
07.24.20 | The limit of albums per list is 101.
Ah, "breakfast" makes sense yeah. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.24.20 | Is this dialogue about if Mexico is in south or north America real or am I having a smdh dream |
bloodshy
07.24.20 | Thanks Trifolium. Wasn't sure if I needed to make a "part 1" or do endless scroll. |
bloodshy
07.24.20 | Pots, in this thread, Mexico is in South America. All other opinions and theories are purely academic in nature. |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
07.24.20 | Lol |
Trifolium
07.24.20 | No prob bloodshy! I'm thinking about a rec for you as we speak.
We were just having some fun Pots. I really don't agree with Mexico being in South America. In no system on Earth would this be the case. Ever. |
Sniff
07.24.20 | Thought me saying that every spanish speaking country is south america made it clear we weren't that serious |
Trifolium
07.24.20 | Haha yeah. Also we tried to stretch the rule of this competition a little bit... Don't tell Sharkattack... |
Divaman
07.24.20 | "He was trying to type "breakfast" like on the last list. You guys know this." (Ssh. Don't tell Shark but I was just looking for an excuse to post a comment so this list is now in the "My Discussion" feed.) |
Divaman
07.24.20 | How about Canada? |
Sharkattack
07.25.20 | We still need a official rec from minushman and someone. |
Divaman
07.25.20 | So do you hate Green Day, Shark? |
Sharkattack
07.25.20 | Yessir |
bloodshy
07.25.20 | Have you heard Disco Popular by Mexican Institute Of Sound? If not, I submit that one. |
Divaman
07.25.20 | And Paramore? (The old Paramore, not the new, cleanly scrubbed pop version.) |
Minushuman24
07.25.20 | Fuck I'm always one of the last. South America is hard |
Sharkattack
07.25.20 | I actually like the pop version more haha. But they both suck. |
Divaman
07.25.20 | (Shaking head.) |
bloodshy
07.26.20 | That album cover for Guanaco is pretty sick. |
Divaman
07.26.20 | So I guess emo is right out, huh? |
someone
07.27.20 | Cadaver Em Transe self titled (2014) from Brazil |
Sharkattack
07.27.20 | Yeah already rated that one someone. |
Minushuman24
07.27.20 | FUCK I gotta think of something. I will today for sure. I think this is the round I go out. Who woulda thunk South America would be the hardest one |
Minushuman24
07.27.20 | lol how much do you like/dislike crossover thrash |
Minushuman24
07.27.20 | Fuck it, I don't know.
I am gonna go out on a huge risk.
Brasil - Ratos De Porao
Partially because I know very little else on this continent, but more importantly because fuck Jair Bolsonaro |
Sharkattack
07.27.20 | Still just need someone since his rec is invalid. It was rec’d by papauniverse in some other South American round. |
Minushuman24
07.27.20 | Aw man, I miss papa. He was a godsend for finding cool music |
Sharkattack
07.27.20 | Yeah whatever happened to him? |
Minushuman24
07.27.20 | I'm not sure really. He even wiped all of his ratings. |
Sharkattack
07.27.20 | I know. There was a goldmine there and he just blew it up. I guess he gave us a few flecks of gold before he did though. |
Divaman
07.27.20 | Sadly, I think Papa was dealing with health issues. I haven't seen him up here in months. I hope he comes back. |
someone
07.28.20 | How do even know that album? Like nobody does. Great stuff though, love every moment.
I hope you accept compilation albums. The Sexual Life of Savages: Underground Post-Punk from São Paulo, Brazil |
budgie
07.28.20 | "Partially because I know very little else on this continent, but more importantly because fuck Jair Bolsonaro"
[2] |
Minushuman24
07.28.20 | I do too, he was one of my favorite users
|
Minushuman24
07.28.20 | Papa knows all post punk, and he relayed that to Shark |
SlothcoreSam
07.28.20 | You enjoying the albums Sharkie? |
bloodshy
07.29.20 | Sam, you can't not enjoy Mexican music. |
SlothcoreSam
07.29.20 | Brujeria is Mexican |
bloodshy
07.29.20 | Guess where Mexican Institute of Sound are from. And holy shit they are killer. All killer, no filler. |
bloodshy
07.29.20 | We're agreeing, right? I guess I'm not clear on that. |
Sharkattack
07.31.20 | Yeah I have no idea what to do. I pretty much like all the albums. Whoever gets eliminated don’t feel too bad. I’ll try to finish this ASAP but who knows what ASAP even means with me. Probably in like a couple days or so. After this it’s Europe and then the final round which I guess is just choose your own continent round unless anyone comes up with a better idea. That one seems to make the most sense right? |
Minushuman24
07.31.20 | Well, I’m glad my Hail Mary album was appreciated regardless haha |
Minushuman24
07.31.20 | Final round is Antarctica |
Sharkattack
07.31.20 | I mean hey if the last two people can find two Antarctican (?) bands then I’m all for it ha |
SlothcoreSam
07.31.20 | Go with your heart Shark, I have faith in you. Plus my rec was screaming to be heard by people outside of Ecuador.
Everyone should check it out ASAP. |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Aw fuck I feel bad and guilty. One of my favorite rounds so far. Every album was really good. |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Next round will be up tonight. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | DAMN |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | Love to fight another day. Just
Glad you liked it, now just need others to listen. |
Trifolium
08.03.20 | Oh my goodness what a close one this was! Very glad you liked Nicolas, it went the same for me. Didn't really like most of it at first (except for that amazing title track and some others, but I started to get hooked on all of them during repeat listens.
And "I feel like this dude could make the fattest beats imaginable but instead goes against his instinct and would rather use subtle ways to destroy you." is totally correct yeah, and I think his approach is all the more powerful for it. |
someone
08.03.20 | Well i knew the risk i was taking. good game, fair game |
Divaman
08.03.20 | Damn, dude. Pretty harsh to get eliminated with a 4.0. |
bloodshy
08.03.20 | I hear in China you get expelled for only a 4.0 grade point average. |
