 | xxm Love your arguments.
|
 | SowingSeason Sure thing. Would you like to take the reins again?
|
 | OmairSh Mekaal Hasan Band - Saptak for Pakistan on your latest list :-) http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Mekaal-Hasan-Band/33398/
|
 | AliW1993 Twing. I like that word. You should check out Conquering Animal Sound. I'm pretty sure Anneke will satisfy your propensity for hot Scottish singers.
|
| AliW1993 Ah. Only half of my message appears to have posted. But yeah. Glaswegian accents are music's finest gift.
|
 | TheBigLebowski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KmYFY5oOvM The other AiC single. It rocks man, seriously.
|
 | InfamousGrouse Apologies, I'm 99% sure I wasn't notified of any shoutbox posts. Unless I clicked 'em when I was drunk and forgot or something, I dunno. A friend recommended me streamiz for french movies but I haven't really had a chance to look at it yet. Shame about TWFM, on the second playthrough I was sold, I bum practically everything they do though. Pink Rabbits is my new favourite song by them. Will probably 5 it someday.
|
 | DanielNightLewis If you're going in to halls just accept that they'll all kind of look nasty/basic to a point and just roll with it. Those spaces have had so many people go through them and it's all pretty much the same.Same goes for student housing, if you end up moving in with course mates or whatever the houses are pretty much all the same standard and will only be as nice as the messiest person in the house. That said, I was never super fussy so my best advice is just go with your gut.
|
| InfamousGrouse i'll look into them. Intouchables is a definite purchase, heard nothing but great things about it. I do however find french comedies a little hit-or-miss.
|
| InfamousGrouse yeah, i've got a couple of books esp. for uni courses that i've not even bothered to read. gonna grab a tonne of films once exams finish, any recs? i'd say my written french is probably my stronger point, i have no french acquaintances to practice my speaking with really.
|
| InfamousGrouse essentially yes, i've been half-assing it for too long now
|
| InfamousGrouse hey man, do you know of any good french sites for reading articles or listening to podcasts or watching clips? even of any french forums? summer's coming up and i've been stagnating a little recently so i need to get back in the game.
|
 | Atari take your time it's definitely a grower
|
| Atari well if you change your mind this is one of the best songs they've ever done:
http://www.underthegunreview.net/2013/05/07/stream-the-wonder-years-the-devil-in-my-bloodstream/ I don't usually rate albums early but i couldn't help myself on this one ;)
|
| Atari no i cheated. however, there are 4 songs released so far which have all been fantastic. u like them?
|
| Atari Yeah i noticed your ratings are a little bit anal ;) if you do start with track 2 the first track is kind of a turn off lol. some songs suck but some are pretty damn fun idk
|
| Atari you should check that chunk! no captain chunk album lol. you might actually like some of the songs consiering how much you like what separates me from you.
|
 | mindleviticus Oohh man, the rest of them, got cut off. Man get Murcof - Utopia as well.
|
| mindleviticus Algol - The Total Siberian Eclipse / Martin Schulte - Odysseia / Marc Leclair - Musique Pour Trois Femmes Enceintes / Kettel
|
 | TMobotron But yeah I get what you mean, maybe check out Zomby's Dedication if you haven't. It's hard for me to give a sample track because it's so varied which is part of why it's so cool, but it's dark and moody throughout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiyxPeuBf0M
|
| TMobotron Ahh s*** sorry I forgot that ampersands kills shoutboxes - Bohnren and Der Club of Gore (I think you got that), Sunset Mission was the album I was recommending specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECyfX1OR_nk
|
| TMobotron If that's not the kind of thing you meant with that description let me know, I could probably rec you something else.
|
| TMobotron "downtempo/dark ambient stuff which creates that atmosphere I love whilst remaining interesting and meaty on a directly musical level" This might be a departure from Desolate, but if you haven't you should check out Bohren
|
| AliW1993 Flittering between 3.5 and 4. I might do it, It's been far too long since I've reviewed anything, I need to get back into the swing of things. I'll listen a few more times and see if I feel inclined to write anything.
|
 | DaveyBoy Nope, but just reading their description and review, they do sound interesting. Thanks for the reco. Will be certain to listen to their debut and newie when it comes around.
|
 | LloydNewgreen I thought it was time for a change, I had it for almost 2 months!
|
 | Aids hahaha very well played
|
| Aids did The National's new album actually leak?
|
 | Omaha ohh i see haha, my bad.
|
| Omaha edit that post with downloading links, lest you be banned, etc.
|
| SowingSeason Take your time. I'm busy as hell right now so there's no guarantee I'll churn it out right after you submit it. I'll do my best though.
|
| SowingSeason Copy the URL of the image and place it in the exact place you want it, within the rest of the html
|
 | Brostep skeletorrifish? how about that?
|
| Brostep ah haha i was wondering about that. personally i like the question mark but i think a period would be fine too i guess
|
 | EaglesBecomeVultures dude ill be nice so long as you dont stalk me down and kill me is that a deal?????
|
 | Jom That username is already taken, sorry!
|
 | Tyrael Beatrice Martin is one of the women I'd marry instantly, along with Kimbra, Lights, Marina Diamandis and Ellie Goulding :3
|
| Tyrael Well, her voice makes everything amazing it seems :]
|
 | TheNexus100 if you could maybe stop jammin lamb of god and corey taylor for two seconds jam i could live in hope
|
 | GiaNXGX Definitely. I want to visit Bordeaux, heard t's got some great wine haha. Do you find darkness attractive; dark movies, dark films // etc,
|
| GiaNXGX Oh that's sick, I've always wanted to visit France and master the language; hopefully I'll be traveling there on my next vacations! Do you find darkness attractive?
|
| GiaNXGX sorry i had a stream of consciousness babe. Are you really from France or were you just playin'?
|
| GiaNXGX now i am a depressed femme, but i'm nothing now, and god is mine.. Yes, god is mine.. i am worth less now, worth-less.. Now, not-thing.
|
 | Adabelle Gutted, thankfully i didn't have too many of them in my exams! Still, got to do so much work to get my grades now..
|
| Adabelle Ahhh well i got one script back and they'd just been anal about sticking to the marking scheme, not too much you can argue with tbh. But atm it looks like i'm getting A B C C/D haha
|
| Adabelle Either that or loads of schools didn't take exams in January so UMS got changed loads but then idk, maybe we all just did badly..
|
| Adabelle Mmm i'm at a grammar too, last year in biology, my school's average UMS was 105/120, this year only four people got above 105. Ouch, 15 is mental?! Hahaha, they're the only two i've seen (going Leeds in April) and i preferred Nottingham.
|
| Adabelle Yeah for every subject at my school results weren't good. I have 11 exams in the summer because of retakes EURGH. On the positive side of things, I'm guessing your offer/s are going to be harder to get than mine (all AAB). Oh yeah went to Nottingham, it ruled.
|
 | omnipanzer http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=119823
|
 | Underflow The link isn't showing the spades symbol anymore, but now it redirects to google lol. This is bugged out so badly.
|
| Underflow Yeah, the coding keeps messing up now. If everything else is in order, should it be approved and edited by a mod, or do I need to fix it?
|
| Underflow Hey man, I was wondering if you knew how to get links working for news articles? Is the [url][/url] bbc code not used here?
|
| TheBigLebowski I'm just real close with my mum really. Some people thrive on travelling whereas some struggle
|
| TheBigLebowski Wish I had the motivation to, I'd love to see the world but travelling s hard for me. Miss my family and all that
|
| TheBigLebowski Damn that's bad, I have new found respect for you Anarchist. You are a cool guy haha yea xox
|
| TheBigLebowski Dude that sucks, I'm on a 40 hour a week job so I'm ok for now. You not work?
|
| TheBigLebowski Liverpool is cool really tbh, I enjoyed London too but was expensive as ****.
|
| TheBigLebowski Damn straight. Liverpool man, s***ty England haha, you?
|
| TheBigLebowski Na dude stay alive, need you on sput! Kids will need you too
|
| TheBigLebowski Scottish go hard, I just have a plain accent really. Gotta **** more French bitches though, lets both make that a bow.
|
| TheBigLebowski oh man, there were loadsa italians at uni all equally hot, its the accent. oh yea, you have female french relatives eh? that accent on a woman is a fastrack ticket to my dick
|
| TheBigLebowski i'd dick em both hard. god bless italian chicks man, bitches can cook and ****
|
| InfamousGrouse indeed, mental fragilities have been a problem for a longer time then i care to remember. that game was eerily similar to the final in May. the only positive i can take from it is the hierarchy are absolutely lambasting the players, so hopefully it'll get their fingers out their asses sooner rather than later. the opinion of most fans on forums seems to be it was a lucky escape, despite the match at the Emirates, so kudos to Arsenal for giving it 110%. PS joy division m/
|
| InfamousGrouse aha, ****ing hell mate, i'm actually embarrassed. if arsenal had got a third i'd genuinely have had no complaints, bayern played a pathetic game of football completely lacking in professionalism.
|
| GiaNXGX You really like girls on yer avis don't ya?
|
| AliW1993 I don't dislike it, it just seems a little, I dunno... shallow? My (sort-of) girlfriend is obsessed with them so I really want to like it, but I'm struggling haha.
|
 | Miracle Paramore is having a book made up of fan contributions. I think your review of the singles club would be a nice addition. :) https://www.facebook.com/ParamoreDecade
|
| SowingSeason I always tried to enforce youtube links, because to stream the song you have to either own it on your computer (so you can upload it) or find a website where there is an active stream (and copy the link).
|
| SowingSeason I'll send it to you. And I can post it for you, man. I may not write reviews very often anymore, but I still check in a few times a week. If everything is laid out, it wouldn't take me long to copy paste and publish.
|
 | IpodMastery Nah kts more about changing things up to get the freshest possible thoughts.
|
| IpodMastery Bored? Na i still work 50plus hours a week. Its just a method i developed.
|
| IpodMastery Put on an old release, something you haventheard before. Start to write the review on it. Then, when almost done. Put on your new release album and the wprds will start to flow again. Try it youll be surprised. After a while, you can do this with 4 new releases at atime, then you can write as much as me : )
|
| SowingSeason Absolutely...as long as you have a way of posting. Do contributors have access to the blog now? The hardest part is getting people to submit on time with working links for the song.
|
| SowingSeason Either way though, anyone who wants to take on the responsibility has my blessing.
|
| SowingSeason But if not, any staff member can copy the template I used for the blog simply by going into the html edit of one of my old playlist posts
|
| SowingSeason You would need to make a list to make people aware and have them post their song selections. For me, I set up a gmail account specifically for submissions, which were required to include the artist name, song title, a YouTube link, and a five to ten sentence blurb about the song. Most importantly though, you need someone on staff who has access to the blog. Real life has kept me off Sputnik, even though I would love to still be contributing...so basically i could do it if I'm around
|
 | MelloYello Dude, I saw that you also gave the new BMTH a 4.5!!! thats awesome!!! what are your favorite tracks?? I like 1, 3 and 7 the most!! you???
|
 | Mardy ohi did you stopping post or wut
|
| TheNexus100 bmth 5/5 mass effect brilliant game you r a GENIUS
|
| IpodMastery Dont worry about all that dude, you were picked for a reason
|
| IpodMastery Sorry dude, i forgot to add a congrats to your page - well deserved : ]
|
 | Trebor17 I claimed the new BMTH but feel free to post your review at the same time or whatever because they'll likely be vastly different viewpoints anyway
|
 | breakingthefragile Nah, still a sausage fest. If we ever get on payroll though I'll request for contribs to be paid in bitches. dw I got ur back.
|
 | Funeralopolis Grats on contributor! Awesome to see someone with similar taste to my own with some authority
|
| Adabelle Congrats on contrib, i didn't even realise there had been applications hahaha. I'm so out of touch
|
 | andcas thanks for the kind words and I'd appreciate that very much buddy.
|
| andcas part of me is pretty confused about it but there's always next time and stuff.
|
| Tyrael Jesus christ fish just be happy with yourself for a moment man :P
|
| Tyrael haha I told you you'd get it :]
|
 | Gyromania awesome! really glad to see you got a promotion. congrats man
|
 | ZombieDenial I have over twice as many album ratings as you, as well as a last.fm that should give people like you a raging hard on.
|
 | LilLioness I didn't mean it to insult you or come off as a bitch. I just find it interesting as I approach rating from a very different perspective.
|
| LilLioness So, peeps still giving you s*** over your ratings?
|
 | Wolfhorde I agree with Tyr basically. That's more of a soundoff than a full fledged review and it doesn't seem like you got s*** for your review but more other infantile sputnik "blahblah this that" bulls***.
|
| Tyrael It's not bad (I didn't neg) but the review is just too short. I have a feeling there is so much more you want to say, it's basically a massive tease :]. Not to mention it's a well-liked band/record around here so ghost negs were to be expected, sadly
|
| Tyrael Eh... I've been trying to write stuff constantly but I can't get anything done I'm afraid :[
|
| Tyrael They might promote you halfway through the year or something if you make yourself stand out, go for it! :]
|
| Tyrael Just improve your writing based on what John said and you'll be fine bro, don't worry about it ;]
|
| Tyrael Hmm? With your review? I don't understand lol :P
|
 | Metalstyles Aw, well that is sad. Whenever you change your route, you let me know! And yes, we do have beautiful and bountiful nature down here. My data might be dated, but we at least used to have the highest percentage of forest (per territory) in Europe. As for merry ol' England, people rave about it down here as well haha. I myself don't exactly rave about it, but I would most definitely want to visit it. Probably will as well, just not in the near future.
|
| Metalstyles Also, I have always wanted to say this but haven't found the right time: you're supporting the right football club ;)
|
| Metalstyles Yeah man, I am indeed. If you ever come to visit we can always meet up. Essence from Sputnik, for example, came here this summer. I'm not gonna lie man, it's a relatively boring country tourism-wise, but hey, maybe I think that because I live here and have exhausted all the opportunities haha.
|
| Jom Almost all gifs cause problems on the forums as well as the reviews site. There are exceptions, of course (most notably, having the filesize be a reasonable amount -- and that's if/when users win contests). They're rarely, if ever, handed out for the hell of it. Cheers.
|
 | Sanders Meh, we all do, don't worry about it. Try it again in the future though, yeah? There's always some nice guys around toobut yeah, see you around mate
|
| Sanders Well for the mostpart the guys over there are sound, it's just those one or two that'll pick up on any kind of mistake in one sentence and try to punish you for it, it's pretty random. You can usually ride it out, but I know it's difficult to be arsed dealing with the s***You're a good guy though, they're just being douches.
|
| Sanders Don't be daft pal, I wouldn't have been conversing with you if you didn't have anything to add to the conversation :) and thanks, it usually takes me ages to find something I have a strong enough opinion on to write about and to articulate that opinion though
|
| Sanders I see :( it is only a select few who act that way though, and they tend to come and go in waves. I'll try and hang around this side more and keep in touch, I want to review more but my previous attempts have been fairly pathetic to be honest haha
|
| Sanders Boooooo, man :( how come? I might try and get back into the review site, but there seems to be a lot more immature people here (although the dicks are more diluted over this side)
|
 | DarkNoctus never mind, i misread what you said. i thought you were saying that the early Norwegian bands didn't use long song structures and textured atmospheres but i then read that you meant the earlier, thrashier bands. sorry. :]
|
 | Black Ink They suck up to him for whatever reason.
|
| Black Ink I don't. He's 100X the spammer block head is though.
|
| Black Ink Don't play into Chad's game. He just antagonizes and antagonizes trying to lure you into giving up more info to continue antagonizing.
|
| DaveyBoy Probably not. Dunno when Im gonna build myself back up to reviewing.
|
 | NorwichScene Crikey 1.5 for the Blackout. I ain't heard it yet, really that bad?
|
| DaveyBoy Nope. Forgot all about it tbh. I did have my concerns over the few songs they had already released.
|
| Adabelle Ohhh, yeah I see, not exactly an ideal situation. Did you not have to interview? Haha, that would be amusing
|
| Adabelle Niceswan. Guessing the rejection was Oxbridge then.. Sounds like you're sorted.
|
| Adabelle Ohhhh, I sent mine through to school like beginning of December (late, I know) but school didn't send it for ages, then Xmas happened and so far I've had 3 acknowledgements and that is all hahah. You got your offers already I'm guessing?
|
| Adabelle Nope! Applied to Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Notts, Sussex for Neuroscience. No rejections and no offers yet. Leeds and Notts are first choice, then Sussex then Bristol then Manchester. You were applying for Geog no?
|
| Adabelle Always the solve in range questions, ALWAYS. Yeah, same year as you.
|
| Adabelle Haha, nice, must feel pretty bad, good luck with the A* hopes. I made so many dumb mistakes in my C2 paper, oh well, pretty sure I'll get a high B and that should push me into A territory overall for Maths.
|
 | Recspecs I posted a link in Willie's shoutbox and he did it for me haha
|
| Wolfhorde Well, you should never take me too seriously. Despite all my Germanness, being all explicit, understated and s***. Also, I actually think you're pretty chill now.
|
 | Deviant. http://uploaded.net/file/98y16q0l - Noisia's DMC soundtrack
|
 | silentpotato i dont really i have a bad attitude if u put a sad face i might feel bad tho thats usually the deciding factor
|
| silentpotato ill even supply the knife it would be my pleasure
|
| silentpotato lol you are a ****ing idiot do yourself a favor stab yourself in the throat and choke on your own blood while you throttle yourself to some bring me the horizon you waste of coagulated matter
|
| silentpotato you 2'd world music by goat. its better than literally every single thing you have 3'd and higher. when are u gonna learn to not be an intergalactic retard?
|
 | ASnideRemark Hey mate a news article about my band just got approved if you're interested in looking at it - http://sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=25213
|
| ASnideRemark Lol well that sounds like quite the situation, meh. My original account on here was a troll account, but then I made my main account, ditched the s*** trolls and got overly cynical, but now I'm not really that cynical anymore and I basically enjoy all music.
|
| ASnideRemark True man, but unfortunately in my case, I have some REALLY questionable things (such as Blood on the Dance Floor's newest EP at a 3 [although I wrote a review for that]) and if I didn't, my ratings would be considered troll lol, my ratings have actually been reported several times by people.
|
| ASnideRemark Thanks! I figured since I have some questionable ratings, I felt it would be best if I backed up all of my ratings with an explanation so that I wouldn't get labeled as a troll lol.
|
 | Jash I started recording my own music when I was 17 and just ****ed around until stuff started sounding right, I'm going to actually go to school for audio engineering starting next year. I use Ableton as well as a few VST plugins, a lot of the sounds were live recordings, be it guitar, piano, various field recordings I took. I made a lot of the drum samples too, just hitting stuff and recording it then processing the samples and putting them into abletons drum rack.
|
 | Buzzkillr woah sorry, just noticed your shout. I don't really check my shoutbox very often -.-. I'm from Switzerland, the region where they speak french, so the south western part. "Suisse Romande" if you've ever heard of it. you?
|
 | MunsuLight Trying to speak in french ? Tu me sembles avoir encore beaucoup de chemins à faire pour pouvoir l'utiliser. Mais je crois plutôt que c'est la syntaxe et la grammaire qui posent des problèmes comme à la plupart des anglophones.. Sorry I've just seen one of your comment on KL's album and I was just trying to know how good was your french(I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just ****ing curious like always)
|
 | sspedding awesome mate, you won't be disappointed if you end up going there. Best of luck with the rest of your offers.
|
| sspedding I have no complaints about the University, Sheffield has got a lot to offer. What are you doing?
|
| sspedding Good. It is very pretty, think it was voted England's 'greenest' city and it has been hugely renovated over the last 10 years or so. In terms of going out, there is quite a bit of choice, two universities about a mile apart you can imagine it has to be. Depends on what your hangout is really.
|
 | RedCrown Just curious, did you actually listen to empire by the word alive or just base the rating off their new albums? I thought Empire deserved a better rating than 1.5.
|
| SowingSeason As long as the song has been OFFICIALLY released, it's fair game.
|
| SowingSeason that's fine submit it tomorrow. i was just asking for it now because i have the thing pretty much ready to post. and nobody has done that one yet, so it will make a great addition to the playlist...thanks!
|
| SowingSeason absolutely you may. send it to sowingsputnik@gmail.com today if possible
|
| Recspecs RVP ='0
A friend showed me a hypothetical lineup without him and it was actually solid, but I'd love to have him back :(
|
| Adabelle Oh, well you pick your team the same way but the subs are different. You can't change things around after each day but if one of your players doesn't play, he gets subbed out. You get 1 free transfer a week (sometimes two) and a wildcard for each half of the season. One big difference is the player prices change a lot (worked out by how many people transfer a player in/out each week). Good fun, there was a Sput league this year, will probably be the same next season
|
| Adabelle Yeah but say you got 40 points from 9 players using the free transfers. That would be better than taking a 6 point hit to get 11 players who then might be on the losing team and so only get say 2 points, so you'd actually end up with less points. Unless you're gambling on one team and so having 11 Spaniards/Italians as your team haha. Dream team = players with most points overall. If that's what you meant?
|
| Adabelle Had saved my wildcard, used it now. 9 is still a decent number, I wouldn't worry too much about having the full 11 seeing as you'll lose 3 points for each extra transfer and chances are, 3 will be a reasonable score/player. And yeah, you're 3rd for the knockout stages in the league, the leader, whoever it is has been ridiculously good throughout..
|
| Adabelle Already picked my fantasy football team, #2keen. Balotelli captain again I'm pretty sure..
|
| Recspecs Holy hell that is a lot of points.
|
| Recspecs Lol it's never too late to get GTA 4 it's really cheap now and definitely worth it. Plus the single player and multiplayer are crazy fun.
|
| Recspecs Get FIFA 12 it rules, do you have gears 3 or gta 4?
|
| Recspecs L Zine6, my FIFA 12 got laser burned.
|
| AliW1993 Yeah I was planning on writing something if I can find the time..
|
| Deviant. http://www.mediafire.com/?i8886yv2gfk5vfh - Ghost Inside
|
| Adabelle The league one is the regular style one, where your overall score is against everyone else in the league. The H2H one, for each matchday/round you get drawn against one other person from the H2H league and if your score for that round is higher than theirs, you get 3 points (if you get the same number of points you get 1 point each). Hope that made sense?
|
| Tyrael Ew no :[ plus I'm belgian man all our of football teams suck ass haha
|
| Tyrael Haha don't worry about it
|
| Tyrael I hope to god you're trolling... There is a nice little button called 'message boards' at the top of the page ;]
|
| Tyrael It's Brandon (Maniac!) :] and are the forums down? Haven't noticed anything like that :/
|
 | TheJackal no problem, cant really be bothered to repost. I'll live...
|
 | Ovrot thank you man, i'll look through them for some seeds
|
 | mangasm His day will come, and when it does. God bless us all, every one.
|
| mangasm Lol just report him, I'm pretty sure he is close to getting banned.
|
| Jash Dev doesn't post about a lot of stuff from that scene in the genre, but I'm going to do an introduction to deep/dark/minimal dubstep list in the next couple days with 15 artists to start out with so I'll let you know when it's up man!
