 | Jash I am so here for ?****ing rules? fest 2024
|
| Jash Once again, you?re so sexy
|
 | xxm Hello, I?m not sure if or when you will read this but I want to say that I love your Low
|
 | sixdegrees sputnik has been aids-free for almost an entire year
|
 | Trebor. Hit up my most recent list if you want to see a Lambs meltdown
|
 | neekafat "Former Supposed Infatuation Junkie"
|
| neekafat Is your username an Alanis Morissette pun?
|
| Trebor. 90 is the number of lists he plans on making about his supposed ex and his favorite Nine Inch Nails songs
|
| Trebor. I see you've stumbled upon rodrigo90. He's my favorite new user
|
 | Slex My favorite off of Cocksure is definitely Tom Sawyer as well, but I LOVE Out W a Whimper, Jellyfish, Ticker Tape, and Life is Long so much as well. As far as favorite Laura songs go, yeah that is so damn hard, I really don't think I can pick a #1. It's a basically a tie w L-Dopa, Wheel, and I See Dark, I think. Also SO much love for Renee, Every Tense, Holy Ghost, Halloween, Master of Art. I mean god yeah she is the best.
|
| Slex also, found this out of the blue and idk if it's because i've been listening to Cocksure so much, but it reminds me a LOT of A Record/Sit Resist era Laura, lemme know what you think if you get the chance: http://music.6131records.com/album/sprained-ankle
|
| Slex I'd have to say she's probably my second or third favorite artist of all time, so yeah I am so excited it's unreal. I listened to Cocksure some more this morning and grew on me even more, might be bumping my rating up to a 5. It's so damn hard for me to choose between the 3 but I'd probably go with Wheel as well. What is your favorite song off of Cocksure? What's yr favorite Laura song in general?
|
| Slex I basically feel about the same, I think she's one of the like top 3 songwriters of this generation, hands down. I've grown to REALLY love the record, though yeah not as much as Wheel or Sit Resist. I'm seeing her in Philly soonish and it'll be my first time seeing her and I am just insanely excited.
|
 | theacademy it is making me feel feelings that i never knew existed
|
| Slex curious as to whether you really think the new Laura Stevenson is a 5 or you're just that big of a fan? I'm a mega fan and Cocksure was my most anticipated album of this year, but I'm pretty underwhelmed, though not completely. It's like a 3.7-4 for me right now. What makes it so great for you?
|
 | Atari you should write a review for the new mountain goats. you're a fantastic writer and i know you'd do the album justice
|
 | Pheromone Sup man, you seem to be into sad bastard Indie kinda. Mind spearing a rec akin to The Wrens - Meadowlands, Okkervil River - DTROGD
|
 | eyehategod too busy banging a couple hot fellers er what
|
| eyehategod i havent been gone a while you pecker head im gonna nuck you in a minute
|
 | Jots is it more of a personal gripe against the guy himself?
|
 | ExplosiveOranges Lol, I was just saying that you referenced my username in your post.
|
| Jots wow, talk about polar opposite opinions lol. definitely expected some people to hate it though, but hopefully the review was a decent enough read
|
| Jots why the pom pom hate? just curious
|
 | SgtPepper hey adrian. what are your thoughts on the new tvotr? i was fairly disappointed personally, but enjoyed a handful of tracks (test pilot, love stained, seeds). a lot of the content lacked the urgency and emotiveness that always drew me to them, and the ones that manage to hit those notes, seem weaker in comparison to their other stuff.
|
| ExplosiveOranges https://www.facebook.com/98852079415/photos/a.440560319415.228396.98852079415/10152939868009416/?type=1
|
| Jash still holdin a spot in your fav bands list, niceeeeeeeeeee
|
| Jots "easy there, By Volume" - what does that mean?
|
 | Arcade Tobias Funke, you blowhard
|
 | Snake. nice parks and recreation avi bro
|
 | OmairSh I've been looking for an analrapist that goes by the name anustart, do you know of him?
|
| Slex you should review Familiars, it's streaming on Spotify now
|
 | klap my body is a finely tuned microchip, a grain of sand wouldnt literally destroy it
|
 | NoSons It is not even your recent activeness, it is just me browsing around and seeing you respect music in a generous manner!
|
| klap wow they're canadian and you still never heard them? actually robin was the one who turned them on to me when champ came out. i'd listen to that first
|
 | TenSecondsToThink Gonna try my best to like this then. Their first LP was one of my favorite albums at some point.
|
 | Deviant. It's his usual break-y wobble stuff. Not the best around, but it's a fun enough ride
|
| Deviant. Opiuo: http://uploaded.net/file/80h53iy3
|
| NoSons Yo man, just wanting to say I dig your music credibility and style. Definitely always take your opinions to heart.
|
| klap glad you dug the hospitality
|
 | StrangerofSorts 2 things. Thing 1: Benji rating makes me sad. Thing 2: been jamming Waxahatchee's American Weekend like all day and reckoned you were the person to ask for similar recs?
|
 | JWT155 Nah it was sincere, Luo was a good guy and was under-appreciated by management.
|
| JWT155 My condolences to the Vancouver Canucks in regards to Luongo.
|
 | TMobotron GL on staff man, you would get my vote. Especially if you hit on a couple more things like VIVEK in '14!
|
| Deviant. Nah I get that. I've always found it kind of funny that I can absolutely hate "heavy" dubstep (well 90% of it anyway) and yet I get a huge kick out of really violent drum and bass. I guess I've always considered the genre to be quite aggressive (if you ignore the more chilled out stuff). And sweet, you really can't go wrong with Big Bud. He gets reaaaallly dubby on his more recent LPs too
|
| Deviant. Also, drum and bass tune of 2013 (turn the bass up): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7mADamRuRI
|
| Deviant. He's got some good tunes (the Blue Eyes EP and the stuff he's put out on Commercial Suicide) but I find him to be a bit of a one note producer, he never really steps outside of his comfort zone. Kinda follows a similar template to Big Bud, but the latter likes to mix it up more - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssf1a8NK-Ok
|
| Trebor. Aids if you saw the review before he changed it you would neg too
|
 | crowing51 Is it some curse that doesn't allow any user to truly leave this place or something? Jeez.
|
| crowing51 Not really, I mean he is persistent in a sense of not being bitched out to leave lol. That's why I asked if he left. Maybe a personal reason.
|
| crowing51 When did andcas leave? Why did he leave? Wtf.
|
| Trebor. did you even write any blurbs I forgot
|
 | demigod! jeez of all the ppl in that Sput FB group I'M the turn off?? damb
|
 | FearThyEvil That jon idiot 5'd 12 albums this year. LMFAO
|
 | anarchistfish nothin, just in general and the fact you were hanging around the site :)
|
 | Hep Kat you should listen to marci beaucoup
|
| Deviant. Haha, I actually just found out that a producer I really like, a guy called Fis, literally lived down the road from me
|
 | Brostep here ya go https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P-oeTqTV-kyRSiLf3ZSqRs4S5M18TPj0Fkm9MXchL8I/edit?usp=sharingknock yaself out
|
 | LambsBread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DmYLrxR0Y8
|
 | luci glad to see you're as down for r 7!
|
| Trebor. Thank you for setting up a great ****ing joke
|
 | tommygun thanks a bunch man that will get me started for sure, p excited about this!
|
| tommygun sup man where's the best place to start (say, three or four albums) for the mountain goats? that's a big ole discog
|
 | SeaAnemone if that's the case it's probably the latter... love, seaanemone (the guy who can't find a dealer at the moment)
|
| Deviant. Yeah I'm a big sucker for those grandiose epic buildups, the extended intro is such a live highlight. Just the buildup, where you feel your body anticipating what's to come. Speaking of which: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtSsCbrvGAU and here's some liquid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dk50T033vg
|
 | sniper it's also filled with fantastic stuff that you would probably love
|
| sniper get tim hecker's discog dude
|
| Trebor. Your ears are only fine tuned to Laura Stevenson and Hop Along
|
| Trebor. Female singer/songwriter on Topshelf: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbE0kGhXuXY
|
| Deviant. No, no we're just getting started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysPKCPsouOc
|
 | Typhoner "we need more with good taste in bleepbloops writing reviews" - my latest one bleeps/bloops hard, taste is of course debatable
|
| Deviant. The time to get you into drum and bass starts now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_33wOvzLv0
|
| Trebor. Adrian how do I talk to women?
|
 | unclereich you're really going to dig dude, the production is so crisp definitely reminiscent of DARE I SAY mr. jaime meline himself
|
| unclereich get on that new danny brown you mountain goat
|
| Deviant. Yeah he's not bad, has kind of a more funk-laden sound to his breaks than the usual stuff, like Tipper etc. Think I'm seeing him around new years
|
 | YourDarkAffected thank you! And sweet, I'm looking forward to reading yours! It just baffles me how confident and talented she is at only 16. Maybe that is making me a little less critical of her, idk, but there's really nothing I can find that is imperfect. In any track. period.
|
 | turtleflu Great review of Cerulean Salt! It's easily my favorite album of the year.
|
| YourDarkAffected good to see another serious minded writer really dig Lorde haha. I couldn't believe the heat I got from 5ing it! She's freaking amazing!
|
 | Scoot word. just as long as you check out white lighter ;)
|
| Trebor. You should check out Modern Baseball. They kind of sound like if the Weakerthans were emo
|
| unclereich yooo aids peeeep this beast https://jatlas.bandcamp.com/album/deviation
|
 | clercqie Currently most looking forward to Lion Charge 003 (Kaiju - Unity Dub) and the new DMZ. Both sick sick tunes. And although those VIPs are really awesome, it's still a bit disappointing that VIVEK decided to release yet another version of Asteroids. Imo, he needs to surprise a bit more, for the System label to really become god-tier. Josh will probably disagree tho. :]
|
 | twlight Hey thanks for rating my EP Different Waves! You should review it. ;)
|
| clercqie System003: Asteroids VIP / Soundman VIP !!!!!!
|
 | ResidentNihilist Hey, sorry for the whole ordeal with the review. I did not mean to creep you out with the information I used because I thought that was just common knowledge on Sputnik (i.e. you going to Africa and liking Laura Stevenson and the Cans). If there was anything else that was accurate or touched on a nerve that wasn't my intention. I was a bit apprehensive about the humour because I didn't know how far to push it when it came to the 'jokes.' I was aiming for laughs not to offend/creep so I apologise
|
 | Casablanca yea, i really failed to see the greatness when everyone went nuts over it. chance has potential, but his gimmick wears very thin with me
|
| ResidentNihilist Tbh yes and no, simply because I don't know you (I never conversed with you on any thread) and I didn't know how you'd react. I was 50/50 about it originally because even though the majority of Sputnik wouldn't give a **** I felt some would probably turn into some kind of ridiculous vendetta or some bs. Maybe I'm just too paranoid lol.
|
| ResidentNihilist i wrote a review of Prurient's A History of Aids and saying it was a concept album about a fictional version of your life. All of it's made up bar the allusion of you going to Africa but then what actually happens there is made up too.
|
| ResidentNihilist I should give you fair warning about this dude, it's about you or more specifically I kind of twisted it to sound like a concept album about your life. Dw it's nothing obsessive, I just saw the album title and I couldn't resist. I should emphasise it's all parody and nothing serious so if you want me to take it down I'll get it removed (that's if you're okay with it first).
|
| clercqie **** yeah, just snagged myself a copy of Asteroids, still. Goodbye neighbourly love! :D
|
 | Rev thanks for checking out the album boo. glad you like it!
|
 | fromtheinside omg, even you know math doesn't matter to anyone in a state school, which btw, you know this, everyone on this is in, because otherwise, hello, they created their own sput aka manic, but he's like 19 so whatever
|
| fromtheinside i did that on purpose, how are we not friends, we're identical, i didn't drop out on purpose but you reached the same plateau as i
|
| Trebor. I'm having a hard time getting off my ass to review this summer yes. Need that school structure
|
| Jash You post rock ****
|
 | Banion Well I do live quite a bit closer now so maybe I'll head that way. We definitely do need to catch up!
|
| Trebor. Can you take a look at my newest review
|
| Banion "Banion just move to BC already and we can drink away our troubles. Well, move to BC in like September. Way better boys in BC than Alberta (haha this is making me sound so gay)."And then I did, and even with all your promises there were no better boys.
|
 | Winesburgohio wonderful, danke so much dude! the same friend who showed me 'Sunflower' swears by 'C'mon' too so i'll check that after the canonized ones
|
| Winesburgohio Aids m'lad where should i start with Low? A friend showed me 'Sunflower' and i was absolutely blown away. xx :)
|
| Trebor. Thanks I appreciate it, I didn't really realize I keep writing the same review
|
| Trebor. "review started out very promising but then turned into a trebor review" what does this even mean?
|
| Scoot http://droppedflyer.bandcamp.com/album/electronic-cigarette check it nigz
|
| Hep Kat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWaZhnwdTio
|
| anarchistfish listen to Phaeleh's new album if you want some bumpin bristol dubstep
|
| demigod! damn dude well get pumped cause it's probably even better than the first, especially towards hte middle/end. it's definitely more consistent at least. some of the new characters they added are just hysterical, and they've made the overarching story a lot more concise and clear-cut.
|
| Deviant. I legitimately hated that track for awhile, because I kept wanting something more to happen in the song. That, and it's been blasted to hell and back on NZ radio and tv lately, but yeah it's grown on me. Gf dragged me along to a show she did in wellington and yeah, the girl has mad talent
|
| clercqie Oh nice! He seems like a cool dude.
|
| clercqie Nice work on the ByVolume Sorrow review man!
|
| SgtPepper Hey Adrian, I thought I'd share this with you since you're a big AD fan. I found a free HD ringtone of "Get Away, Getaway" from season 4. I'm tempted to use it as my own for awhile. Anyway here's the link: youtube.com/watch?v=FdPywdxicGQ (the link to the ringtone is in the video description)
|
| Deviant. I'm (fingers crossed) going to try and review it myself. The US release date was about a week ago so it's still kind of relevant from a staff perspective. I'll give it a read after (or if I don't cover it), only because I hate reading other opinions when I'm trying to expand on my own. Just run the risk of being swayed, or saying the same thing, y'know?
|
 | andcas already checked it out dude.
|
 | greg84 Hey. I've actually done more than one interview. 5 or 6... I guess. Feel free to check them out. Cheers.
|
| Hep Kat i have been drunk...FOREVER
|
| Hep Kat y hav u bcum so preachy n up ur own ass lately bro???
|
| TMobotron Aids bro check out the new Zomby album if you get time.
|
| klap not really just saw shout out louds last week probs thermals in a couple
|
| klap you patrollin my ratings? i liked it when it came out, probably less so now. i'm not too fastidious when it comes to those boy
|
| luci "oh helllllll naw, someone hold my purse" is this your signature phrase right now? hah love u
|
| Atari Lol nah wasn't joking. not sure if u heard the band's older material but their vocals have improved as well so the combination of the improved vocals laura Stevenson = A
|
| Atari I'd be surprised if u didn't like 'the devil in my blood stream'
|
| Atari i'm supposed to tell you that laura stevenson is featured in the new album by the wonder years : P
|
 | BigPleb Don't hate me man, I just hate Godspeed haha.
|
 | barcafan21 i love the uptempo tracks so much and pink rabbits is amazing its their most immediate album
|
| klap are you telling me you've never listened to cut copy - in ghost colours???? this is something to be rectified immediately and frankly i dk how it is even possible
|
| klap hahahaha nice that is so random. i am pretty jazzed my gf found me a used vinyl copy of in ghost colours she shipped from japan. legitimately difficult record to track down and wasn't gonna pay $300 new to some twat on ebay
|
| klap dude same. i had been meaning to listen to it for a while but it wasn't really what i expected. still good tho
|
 | Ire congrats on making staff gj
|
| Deviant. With the rate I'm going armageddon might hit first
|
| klap i honestly just retweet NBA jokes bc i am so lazy
|
| klap no it's quite boring actually
|
| klap veils followed me on twitter after my review haha yesss
|
 | slipnslide that house is just down the street from me so if youd like to buy it i can vouch it is a nice neighbourhood and i will maybe consider a discounted price for a fellow vancouverite ;)
|
| slipnslide yo aids wanna buy a house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcJWjKFZTLM
|
| klap like "dancing with the tornado" is them doing ye olde blues shtick and the whole middle is kind of dreary but the last half is ace
|
| klap yeah a high school friend of mine gave me Runaway found like 10th grade and i dug it. listening back on all their stuff now it's really almost as good as Nux Vomica imo - the only song i really am bleh about is Guiding Light. Sun Gangs hasn't aged as well but there's still a few classic songs there. the new one is interesting - more sparse than the others but i like it. kind of hits a lull in the middle and a couple bad songs
|
| klap trying to review their new album
|
| SgtPepper Thanks. I'm not very creative when it comes to names so I just end up going with whatever comes to mind. cheers.
|
| Rev It pains me to say it too dude, but to me all the music seems recycled and the lyrics aren't as hard hitting and the album as a whole feels like the band on auto-pilot. It bums me out cause EGN is in my top 5 favorite albums and SITB is my jam
|
| tommygun mate where's your wheel review I feel like I'm waiting for a cumshot thatjustisn'tcoming
|
| klap don't worry i won't be reviewing it. probs around a 4 off initial listens tho. it's just an album i associate with sputnik because of the sit resist hype train
|
| klap I THOUGHT sit resist was ok (like average power-pop 3.5 i mean where is my she AND him) but i must say i do appreciate wheel quite a bit. **** you sputnik!
|
| Hep Kat you've srsly never heard night birds? they're only the single greatest punk band in existence today: http://gravemistakerecords.bandcamp.com/album/fresh-kills-vol-1
|
 | FromDaHood nah dude i'll hook you up. what's your dropbox e-mail do you use for Dropbox?
|
| FromDaHood Ah **** I never should have hooked Rob up, I'm not ready for this kind of responsibility. Can it wait until tomorrow?
|
 | geasoftime I intentionally recced him the albums that I did, and that's far from every electronic album I've ever heard. Maybe 1% of them. If he's trying to get into electronic music, he should hear those albums, even if they're not exactly like the ones he posted. Excluding the Tim Hecker album, they're all much better.
|
| klap first recap up tmrw! god i hate writing these things have to pretend like i was sober the entire time...
|
 | taylormemer Thank you. It was, at the time, an appropriate response.
|
| anarchistfish No :\ this site is so easy to troll when it comes to certain bands, it's too easy to resist
|
 | toxin. are you reviewing the new eluvium? i would love to see your take on it
|
| Jash Yeah his LP was one of the more consistent ones for sure
|
| Ire frank turner is gay
|
| Jash Hahaha nice one, what have you heard so far?
|
 | Spare aids aids aids check my record http://troubledmedium.bandcamp.com/
|
| clercqie The Trentemoller track is obviously the tits.
|
| clercqie http://nodata.tv/76506 Since you want some more deep house. Wonderful mix.
|
 | wabbit It's like you don't even read infowars.com
|
| wabbit I'm trying to bang this girl and she's trying to convince me chem trails are real.
