 | Demon of the Fall "This is so much better than the uncountable list of garbage albums it closely reminds me of" - false, you've gone soft. I was waiting for you to put the hype-train to a stop and a 3.3 ain't gonna cut the mustard I'm afraid. I need to go BIG!!!
|
 | DadKungFu jw we doing the new staff interviews this year?
|
 | BaselineOOO pandas I bet they taste real nice. most clumsy animals are so tasty. don't make me feel bad for not reading stuff life is already like soo boring
|
| BaselineOOO if they don't immediately stop pandering the pandas will be gone
|
 | Icebloom Been obsessed with Four Tet's New Energy recently, great rec!
|
 | JoyfulPlatypus I liked it! Will definitely give it a few more listens to let it sink in, but my first listen was awesome. Titanic Expose was such a good closer.
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Curious Johnny - looking for a good starting point to get into Sonic Youth. Never heard an album of theirs before. You got any suggestions?
|
 | cylinder nevermind, i figured it out. thanks a ton, man! my 2023 list is up!
|
| cylinder Hey, so I made a discord. I've been fiddling with the console thing but I'm not finding the character limit. Think you could show me sometime when you get a chance?
|
 | GiaNXGX I?ve got this box set https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Ringo-Shena/dp/B001FQFAZ8, it kind of ?talks?, when you press it. Really cool
|
| GiaNXGX Check out Domina (C. Craig's Mind Mix), it?s so goood
|
| GiaNXGX she did fell off hard, i may review shouso strip with a contrarian rating just to spite baseline, stay hooked
|
| GiaNXGX What?s your thoughts on Sheena Ringo?
|
 | Manatea Yo this Zorn album is blissed af
|
| cylinder I don't have a discord, but I am somewhat familiar with messing with the console.
|
| cylinder Hey Johnny, I noticed on your jazz list, you have a lot of descriptions that are clearly way past the character limit. How do you do that? Would like to know for the 2023 list I'm working on.
|
 | Havey good choice from ryus but i'm afraid it won't survive the stacked entry hazards set up by the farting thugs below
|
 | Ryus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CYRz-I8Pbw
|
 | Butkuiss What is the secret to a successful marriage?
|
 | Pikazilla how the f do you rate albums a -1.0 on this website, tell me your secrets
|
 | neekafat yoshiko sai was so good urggggg
|
 | JerseyJimmy huh, okay. would it be possible to get rid of that session timer? or at least increase it to, like, an hour?
|
| JerseyJimmy how long are lists allowed to be? I tried making an 84-entry list and this piece of s*** site decided "actually you just wasted 40 minutes of your life retard lolololololol"
|
 | bighubbabuddha It is a very consistent and relaxing listen, look forward to yr review bro
|
| bighubbabuddha Are you doing a review for the new Four Tet? If not i'll conjure something up
|
| DadKungFu What are the ethics of revving a band I have a relation as a member of? Asking for a friend (myself)
|
| Icebloom Thanks a lot! Will add these to my list. Skimmed the Alpe Lusia record the other day but didn't really feel it, we'll see about the rest
|
 | FowlKrietzsche Alright bumped Sentries and had a baller time, but do not feel I can talk about it without also talking about Daughters. Was this the source of your cringe? I def want to try and review it, but I think I'm gonna want a proofreading pre post
|
| FowlKrietzsche Will check Sentries and maybe review it? We'll see, I'm in the middle of a move
|
| FowlKrietzsche hmmm because of that build an album challenge I've been listening to Kino (Rus) pretty heavily, I was gonna work on a review for their s/t maybe sometime if you wanted to dig through their discog
|
 | parksungjoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn68156rHcw - what genre is this, dont say downtempo
|
 | lols make me staff lol pls thx - sach
|
 | Elynna That Eddie Marcon LP is lovely. It has the perfect length for this sort of music. I also like how it stated on their bandcamp page that it has 'very poor recordings', but it sounded just fine to me (just a bit lo-fi). So thanks again for the rec, much appreciated. Ill probably check some of their other stuff another time.
|
| Manatea Oh wow! Didn?t realize that, that?s kind of neat. And thanks! I?m pretty stoked!!
|
| Manatea Johnny you forgot me :[ it?s okay though we?re still friends
|
| Elynna Sounds great! Im always in the mood for some good psychedelic/chamber folk. By the looks of it they have quite an extensive discog to discover. I have a rec for you too! Its minimalistic ambient/new age from Japanese artist Kenichiro Isoda. I especially dig his first two records. Both are available on YouTube in full, as well as many of his other albums.
|
| Elynna Ah it appears the link you provided doesnt work. Could you give me another or give me the name of the artist and/or album you meant?
|
| BaselineOOO I was just testing you hihi, I think Yamane is crappy and Birdy abysmal. The quality of their lyrics is inversely proportional with their musical umph too, they're freaking Boris 182!
|
 | Atari on track 4 of Post! loving the vibes so far
|
| Ryus very nice maybe we can ensnare some unsuspecting sputcorers with the ?metal? in the title
|
| bighubbabuddha Because our fates are intertwined, Buddha and Johnny are the two sacred constants of Sputnik
|
| BaselineOOO I wonder. I found Yamane to be their most clear headed release, maybe after 1 listen I'm too hasty but I'd rather get lost into something and explore than sticking other things inside of me
|
| BaselineOOO Kim Jung Mi is the communist goddess that Romania deserved. Now what do you think is Mikansei 99 an AAA album or indie trash, and I'm too dirty for Jang Pil Soon and you know it
|
| BaselineOOO Three songs from Aoi Ashioto are my religion ngl
|
| FowlKrietzsche hi Blood Incantation are the only death metal band i still jam semi regz, they're definitely charmless and self-serious but some of the riffs sound like they smoke weed. Starspawn is better, but they're both cool
|
 | zakalwe Give it time John and you will be just like ya Uncle Zak
|
| zakalwe Hello mate. Their debut knocked me for six when I heard it a few years ago. I have probably listened to it three times since so make of that what you will. Their other albums are a bit drab and have nowhere near the emotional impact of that first album
|
 | alamo to get your pop slice back you must listen to erika de casier
|
| Ryus am on vacation so ill sit this one out. looking forward to others? picks though
|
| Ryus sounds cool when is my deadline :O
|
| FowlKrietzsche Quickly realizing that "Best Bird User" was less of an achievement and moreso a license to fart all over the page cuz god knows I could never keep upbut yeah I'm working on ittttt
|
 | DoofDoof you are the mysteron, I am impressed
|
 | budgie Ya know u can be a dick but ur the man at the same time lmao. Thanks bro. Been having a lot of fun really diving into animal porn more than I ever have and I know u are an expert.
|
 | Hawks For sure man. Jamming that Shinichi Atobe album now and definitely digging it.
|
 | kildare Just FYI, I bashed rateyourmusic in the 2nd comment block from the top of my new Joplin review. But sadly I came short of shredding them. Maybe I'll try again later
|
| DadKungFu No worries lmk when and I'm here for it
|
| Hawks Ya know u can be a dick but ur the man at the same time lmao. Thanks bro. Been having a lot of fun really diving into ambient more than I ever have and I know u are an expert.
|
| Hawks Gimme some good ambient techno/electronic albs I can't get enough of that sound and I know u know some good s*** plz and thx.
|
| kildare By "open" I mean stuff on the front page, like reviews and review-commentary.
|
| kildare Is it politic to openly criticize Rate Your Music on Sputnik? Or is it best for Staffers if I'm more circumspect (careful, prudent, you know what I mean) about it?
|
| bighubbabuddha Also check my latest list- top 30 songs o.a.t I think you'd like it dude
|
| bighubbabuddha and my next review will be the new Adrianne Lenker , wait w anticipation
|
| Ryus yes indeed, one of the most emotionally affecting techno releases for me. he is a reclusive dude, from what ive read he basically dropped off the face of the earth for a while and had to be tracked down convinced to release new stuff. will check sa pa
|
| Ryus that duration constraint is not very techno-friendly [2] but looks pretty good given the circumstances, i wouldve definitely picked a maurizio track as well!
|
| Havey looks like a fun competition, but that duration constraint is not very techno-friendly... Sa Pa - Womb would be great as a wind-down if you made this playlist for me, not sure about sinternet? this would be a good time to dip into the SND discog, you're mostly safe from e's in there (and the alphabet at large) and you might like their style of glitchy minimal techno (EPs more relevant here, set aside the LPs for a glitch playlist)
|
| kildare Whoops, missed your ms. last night. Got a variety of tin hats in my closet, so I think I'm with you. But my fear of (being left in) the dark is one of my major neuroses. Thanks for taking the time to shed some light!
|
| DadKungFu My Jarrett experience is limited to his big live albums and Survivor's Suite we're prob at similar levels of Jarrett exposure if I had to guess. Honestly though I'm happy to try out either format or even both and see what works
|
| DadKungFu Would be cool to do like a dialogue of sorts, trading paras and building off of impressions, think our mutual approach is close enough that it could work
|
| JoyfulPlatypus Aye Johnny - is the new Jeremy Renner like BAD bad or is it at least FUNNY bad? I feel like I can trust your judgement on this one.
|
| budgie dont ignnore me u gub hubber
|
| budgie riffs dont have names u focking british sewer muck
|
| budgie all u listen 2 is baby riffs
|
| budgie foop foop foop foop foop
|
| bighubbabuddha If it was as simple as smearing super glue on your genitals I would do it //
|
| FowlKrietzsche Ayy swirlies are super cool, I'll give all of them at least a listen tho and I'll work on a review or smthn over the weekend, thx a bunch!
|
| FowlKrietzsche hmmm try The Lounge Lizards if you don't know them, only their debut has a review and its the only one I really know, but I think you'll like their jazz/punk sound
|
| Ryus wow that is exciting. big things happening
|
| Demon of the Fall I really like this Citrus comp, nice. I have been enjoying The Necks too, as promised. Aquatic is a viiiiiiiibe (also heard Hanging Gardens Drive By)
|
| Ryus i am inside your brain gl on the interview mate
|
| DoofDoof you just caught me at the end of transferring about 2000 ratings from RYM to here including all my 4.5s and 5s - that album is pretty entrancing, some of the writing is maybe a bit slight but it doesnt break the spell for me at all. Souvlaki is a bit of a hit and miss album for me!
|
| Ryus review multila :*
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki hey its not my fault the site de facto makes my thoughts public i didnt even realize that until 2 weeks in LOL
|
| bighubbabuddha Ouch, he is a spiky lizard but he is our spiky lizard and that means I have a soft spot for him
|
 | AnimalForce1 Welp, Supercar is now officially on my must-listen list. Great rec!
|
| bighubbabuddha Johnny take a look at my 5s, what do you think now in 5 words
|
| Ryus peeped the traumprinz from this year? its bliss

| Butkuiss Front row at the Caroline Polachek show rn should I tell her she?s airless and contrived y/n
|
 | Mort. hey man, idk what everyone is saying about you, but I think you're a great guy. let me know if you need someone to talk to.
|
| Butkuiss She covered Believe by Cher; close enough for me!
|
| Butkuiss Front row at the Jessie Ware show rn do u have any messages you?d like me to pass on?
|
 | Comatorium. Does it make you sad knowing you get a thrill from having edgy opinions on possibly the worst music site?
|
| SlothcoreSam Cool, will check. Moreru is ****ing bonkers. only had 3 hours sleep, due to sick kid, but after listening to this, i'm ready to broker a peace deal in Gaza
|
