SandwichBubble
07.16.18 | If everyone picks japan, I'm forfeiting |
Papa Universe
07.16.18 | you can pick literally any other country. |
Papa Universe
07.16.18 | also, does Russia count? |
Sharkattack
07.16.18 | Russia counts as long as it’s east of the Ural Mountains |

Don't judge me |
Papa Universe
07.16.18 | Buck-Tick - Darker Than Darkness (Japan, obviously) |
SandwichBubble
07.16.18 | I tried really hard to find something from another asian country (like India), but I'd probably lose the round if I did any more traditional/folk music |
Papa Universe
07.16.18 | any russian punk, bub? |
anarchistfish
07.16.18 | someone pick this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VTm69P93jA
taiwanese |
Papa Universe
07.16.18 | if Sharkattacks previous ratings are of any indication, he will not be into this. |
SandwichBubble
07.17.18 | @uni Only one's I know for sure would work are закрытое предприятие and Grazhdanskaya Oborona cause they're east of the urals |
SandwichBubble
07.17.18 | I'm pretty sure you and butch would be 100x more knowledgeable on anything russia-related |
Papa Universe
07.17.18 | Grazhdanskaya Oborona are decent. |
Papa Universe
07.17.18 | Black Kirin is a great band. Just saying. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | I’m hoping for some Mongolian hardcore or something |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Or maybe some middle eastern goth |
Astral Abortis
07.17.18 | Death Side - Bet On the Possibility |
butcherboy
07.17.18 | i've got some minimalist Russian post-punk from the caucus side, but I doubt you'll dig it.. I'm going southeast.. will let you know which spastic punk band I pick on the morrow.. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | So once again we are waiting on butch. I’m scared guys. I don’t won’t to eliminate anyone. I feel very emotional about all this. I’m gonna eliminate two more, we go to North America and then for that round it’s 1v1. After that it’s all over folks. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | I don’t really mind if this turns into a contest of who is the weirdest Japanese band? |
Astral Abortis
07.17.18 | I mean I could rec a tonne of music from all sorts of countries but when you specify that you like Japunk, they do indeed have a pretty wide pool of classic crazy bands. I almost wanted to rec G.I.S.M. but was afraid you'd alreayd know them |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Once again it’s just a hint. I don’t know shit about Asia all I know is melt-banana kicks ass. I almost used Boris as my hint. Again another Japanese band. I’d love to hear a South Korean funk band or a jazz band from Laos or some shit. But all I know is a few punk bands from Japan so you could either educate my ass or blow my mind with something unexpected. Win/win either way though. |
Astral Abortis
07.17.18 | Actually I'm gonna go out on a limb and recommend something totally different. Fuck off Death Side, I rec:
Vasilisk - Acqua
One of my favourite albums of all times, but I have absolutely no clue if you'll dig. But gotta have some fun with it! |
butcherboy
07.17.18 | sharky, do you like sonic youth? |
butcherboy
07.17.18 | fuck it, I rec Carsick Cars' self-titled (China).. it's relatively tame when compared to some Japanese noise punkers, but Sonic Youth loved their debut and so did I.. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Alright updated. Everyone is in and butcher is the only non-Japanese rec. talk to you guys in about a week or so. Nobody wants to use their handicaps? |
SandwichBubble
07.17.18 | I'll use my handicap, why not |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | You’re a wise man sandwichbubble
|
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | All you guys have great taste. It’s gonna hurt eliminating 2 of ya |
Papa Universe
07.17.18 | could you remind me what's with the handicap points again? |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Well you won the last round so you get a .1 handicap to your score. You can use it anytime but there’s only 2 rounds left so.... you should use it. if you win a round you get a .1 added. It just makes trying to win a round more interesting. Tacos came up with idea and I totally ripped him off but it doesn’t seem like anyone gives a shit so whatever I guess. I just like the idea of achieving something if you win besides just ROUND WINNER. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Which has got me thinking of what happens when we get the winner of the whole like series thing...not sure maybe like... the winner has to give me 50 bucks or something haha. |
Papa Universe
07.17.18 | I'll use my handicap. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Right on |
Papa Universe
07.17.18 | I figured it right, cause even if I get to the finale, it'd be shtty to boost up like that. |
butcherboy
07.17.18 | So do you like sonic youth or not?! |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | True true. I feel bad for you because you’ve been reccing quality albums each round but like you’ll get second a lot so you miss out on those sweet sweet handicaps. Same with astral. Butch and sandwich are almost hit or miss as some of their recs barely survived and others were my favorites. I really feel bad for diva though. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Sonic youth? Never gave them a fair shake as far as like jamming a full album by myself. When mu friends put on songs by them I’m usually into though. Like from the bit of sonic youth I’ve heard of give it around a 7.5 or so. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Hahahaha come on thrust rip em apart! Hurt my feelings goddamnit! |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Hahahaha yyyyyyeeeeeeesssssss!!!!! That’s exactly what I was hoping for. I’d love to see them live. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | What can I say? I love annoying music. |
Sharkattack
07.17.18 | Lmao |
Divaman
07.17.18 | Never realized I had to tell you if I wanted to use my handicap. Thought you'd apply it automatically if I needed it. Oh well. Not sure if it would helped anyway.
Would have had to do some more research for this round. The only things I could come up with for Asia off the top of my head were Shonen Knife, who I had a feeling you'd hate, and Tomita, who is great but totally outside of the genres you seem to like best. |
Divaman
07.17.18 | >any russian punk, bub?
I don't know, what part of Russia is that Pussy Riot band who got in trouble for sending someone out on the field to protest during the World Cup? Bet they're from Siberia now. |
butcherboy
07.17.18 | they're from the european side.. it'd be a bust rec anyway, the politics were good, but the music was absolute shite.. |
Divaman
07.17.18 | I suspected as much. Used to watched Bourdain's travel show, and I seem to remember his Russian episode featured a segment with a pretty decent-sounding band, but I can't remember their name. I think I even looked them up at the time the show aired, but their music didn't seem to be available in the U.S. But I'm sure they were from the European side too. |
SCREAM!
07.17.18 | no Ling Tosite Sigure
I coulda had this round damnit |
Divaman
07.27.18 | Geez, you guys are still in Asia? |
Papa Universe
07.27.18 | it's a big place, needs a long time |
SandwichBubble
07.27.18 | Last time on Shark Tank |
Sharkattack
07.27.18 | I’m pretty much done with this I just need to listen to number 4 a few more times |
Sharkattack
07.29.18 | Damn. One of my favorite rounds... |
Astral Abortis
07.29.18 | Yaaay! |
Sharkattack
07.29.18 | How did you find that album dude? Like I had to search individual songs and I still missed like 1 or two I think. |
Astral Abortis
07.29.18 | Well I dont remember how I found it, but I probably initially got it off Soulseek. I own it physically now, but its actually on bandcamp: https://steinklangindustries.bandcamp.com/album/sk79-vasilisk-acqua-2014 |
butcherboy
07.29.18 | damn.. oh well.. competition is a blast, Shark.. good luck, fellas! |
Papa Universe
07.29.18 | I wonder if I stood a chance at all, when even a 4.3 is not enough... |
Papa Universe
07.29.18 | Not one of my most embarrassing losses. |
Sharkattack
07.29.18 | I didn’t want to eliminate you guys. Butcher you would have stayed alive but Astrals rec just kept climbing up the ladder higher and higher and I couldn’t stop it. |
Sharkattack
07.29.18 | Papa I’m still disappointed in you. Ever rec this competition has been fire. Maybe a different album from buck tick would have suited better? |
Papa Universe
07.29.18 | I didn't want to go with the accessible... I guess I paid my price. |
Sharkattack
07.29.18 | I mean it wasn’t that inaccessible imo. Nothing too hard to listen to. I did like it a lot more the first couple listens but it just wasn’t up to your usual standards. |
