Sharkattack
08.03.20 | I feel really bad for Sniff. He’s rec’d great albums every round. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | A Kiss in the Dream House - Siouxsie? |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Huh weird that I haven’t rated that yet... yeah you’re gonna have to pick something else. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | dammit
Boomerang - The Creatures |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Wait is that the Siouxsie and budgie side project? Yeah that probably doesn’t work either. I don’t remember much about it but I’ve definitely heard it. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | Blah, yeah it is.
You should re-listen anyway, it's amazing. |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Ok I will! But yeah there’s plenty of European bands I’m sure you’ll find a record I haven’t heard yet. Sorry I really do need to update my ratings. It’s so tedious though. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | That's fair. I'm fairly certain that I can find some deepcut post-punk easily. Siouxsie is just always my go-to |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | You should have broken up Europe to Eastern and Western. Then you would have had 2 rounds.
But it works either way.
Have you heard, Love and Rockets - Express? |
botulist
08.03.20 | Jacques Coursil for placeholder, but I’ll check back in a day. Glad you dig Yma |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | aye yo, do you fuck with x-ray spex? |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Holy shit I haven’t even rated the spex? Jesus Christ. Yeah. I’m old man I’ve heard most of the big name punk bands and shit. |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | lmao alright alright fair, haha, sorry |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | Answer me Sharkie |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | Alright, well.
Let’s do this for a placeholder at least
Street worms - viagra boys |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | Hmmmmm, should I rec the new Fontaines D. C.? |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | I was thinking about that. Seems like a safe choice |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | Yeah, it's maybe too safe for this round |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | Mm yeah. I’d go deep cut goth. Maybe something French. Hm. |
SlothcoreSam
08.03.20 | I might have to stick with Love and Rockets - Express.
But will have a think about it |
Trifolium
08.03.20 | Oh man this is going to be hard, but this time because of too many choices! |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | No haven’t heard em slothy |
Sharkattack
08.03.20 | Everyone take their time and craft the perfect rec. |
bloodshy
08.03.20 | Does Mexico count as part of Europe this round? |
bloodshy
08.03.20 | Never mind, found one. Black Tongue - Nadir, from United Kingdom |
Trifolium
08.03.20 | Hahaha bloodshy that was perfect! |
Minushuman24
08.03.20 | oh yeah, I forgot to say, Viagra boys is of Sweden! |
Trifolium
08.03.20 | Ok this is super difficult but I'm going with:
Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport (from the UK, but based in Berlin if I'm correct)
Huge record, totally pulverisers you. Hear this at maximum volume and nothing will be left. As with every round I'm very curious if you dig it. |
dedex
08.03.20 | hell yeah Trif |
Trifolium
08.03.20 | deeddeexxxxxxx that record is so good isn't it?! Was also considering their debut, have you heard it? With the screaming and the tribal and stuff? But Tarot Sport could be a better way in I think. |
Sniff
08.03.20 | It has been real vros, well fought. And I'm happy that you got so many cool new recs too Mr. Jaws. |
SlothcoreSam
08.04.20 | Lock in
Love and Rockets - Express.
From the UK.
I think you'll be pleased with my choice. |
dedex
08.05.20 | Trif I don't think I've heard the debut, and if I did I don't remember any of it x) |
Trifolium
08.05.20 | Oh no! It's really cool, you should check it sometime. |
Minushuman24
08.09.20 | How's it going sharkkkk |
Trifolium
08.09.20 | Yeah I'm very curious as to how hard you fuckbuttoned.
... This sounds a little weird. But hey, that happens with their band name. |
Divaman
08.09.20 | Still watching. I coulda been a contender. |
Minushuman24
08.09.20 | coulda had class, but now you're just a bum |
Divaman
08.09.20 | (Nodding sadly) |
Sharkattack
08.10.20 | Yo sorry I’ve been camping for awhile haven’t really had access to Sputnik. Still need to hear sloths rec.
Botulist have you decided on your album yet? I just picked some random album of his. |
SlothcoreSam
08.10.20 | What did I miss? I've been camping too. |
Minushuman24
08.10.20 | Jealous of you guys wtf |
botulist
08.10.20 | Can you give me one more day, please?! Sorry, slammed at work. |
bloodshy
08.10.20 | did i win yet? sorry, i've been camped up at the campgrounds camping |
SlothcoreSam
08.10.20 | You're so camp bloodshy.
|
ArsMoriendi
08.10.20 | I miss going camping, it's been years
So many fond memories... |
Minushuman24
08.10.20 | Man, I haven't been camping in well over a year. And I haven't been to a national park since 2018. That makes me so sad |
Minushuman24
08.10.20 | Actually, I did go to Voyaguers last summer, but I was only there briefly and barely even hiked at all. |
Trifolium
08.10.20 | Camping is the best. I do it every year. Just finishing a two week stay in Denmark right now. |
Minushuman24
08.10.20 | Trif, that sounds amazing. Damn |
Trifolium
08.10.20 | It's a lovely country! Very hilly, but I think a Dutch guy like me is easily impressed that way haha! Still, I dusted off my driving up and down slopes skills for sure.
The best thing about camping is being outside all the time, living outside, with the rhythm of the day. Love that so much, truly puts 'normal life' in perspective. |
Sniff
08.10.20 | You might be the first and only person to think of Denmark as hilly tbh |
SlothcoreSam
08.11.20 | The best thing about camping is mushroom hunting. Got a box of Morels in no time. Check out the ones we are drying.
https://ibb.co/Gv6dTwL |
Trifolium
08.11.20 | Hahaha Sniff! To be fair, the South East of Jutland is known for being hilly, right?
Omg Sam those are gorgeous. Mushrooms are the best ❤️ |
SlothcoreSam
08.11.20 | Tasty too, just cooked some up with garlic, chives, parsley, butter and white wine. Then had them on olive ciabatta with olive oil.
The rest are in the dehydrater. |
Trifolium
08.11.20 | There's drool everywhere now, that sounds perfect.
It's time I got out of bed and had breakfast. |
botulist
08.11.20 | fuck it, dog faced hermans - hum of life (scotland) |
Sharkattack
08.13.20 | Alright gonna do a few more listens but I’m pretty sure I know who’s dying this round. |
SlothcoreSam
08.13.20 | Hopefully not me. |
Minushuman24
08.13.20 | It's me, I'm gonna be dead |
Divaman
08.13.20 | Well I know it's not me. |
Trifolium
08.13.20 | Eeeeek it's scary, don't know whether my rec appeals to your tastes at all... |
Minushuman24
08.13.20 | He seems to really dig experimental music, but he also really digs post punk which is all three of our recs outside of yours. I have got to believe that Love and Rockets is going through at least. |
Sharkattack
08.13.20 | Hold up one of these albums may be a grower. I NEED MORE TIME I’m sorry! I’ll try and get this done tomorrow hopefully. Maybe tonight if I can find the time. |
Divaman
08.13.20 | You little tease. |
Minushuman24
08.13.20 | The anticipation is killing me |
Trifolium
08.13.20 | No problem Shark! I like it that you are so thorough with this. Makes us think about our recs a lot longer too. |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | Who won? |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | You did. You won a birthday party. Happy birthday Sam! You're alright by us, and every negative you've ever heard has made you such a strong man over the years. We want you to know how proud we are of you, and that we support your sloth interests even if we don't all always understand it. That's okay! It's what makes you unique, and it's why we love you.
m/ forever, forever m/
P.S. I borrowed your pillow for Dutchess because she will bark all night without it. I'll wash it in the morning. |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | Yay.
That's OK, that pillow was full anyway. |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | Full of what? |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | I’m torn on two albums but I think I’ve finally decided which one dies although the reasoning might be controversial. I will say i eventually or immediately got into all these albums to some extant. |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | Full of sloth juice.
I'm excited sharkie |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | Did my rec make it through or not? It's torture! |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | Fuck |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | Great albums everyone but Botulist destroyed you all. He’s like that boxer that lets you gas out for 9 rounds , letting you throw everything you got and just studies your style. Then when you are fatigued and you’ve given everything you have he just starts throwing haymakers in the last round. |
Minushuman24
08.15.20 | god damn! I need to check that out I guess |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | Damn, eliminated with a 4.
ooh well was fun whilst it lasted.
Thought you would have been all over Love and Rockets, considering half the band are from Bauhaus, and they heavily influenced The Cure. I agree on your critique of the production, and rating. So if i rec you a 4, i'm not deserving of the final.
gg all |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | First perfect score in Continental Recfest history... |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | Don’t feel bad sloth! You literally lost on a technicality. |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | Should just call it now.
Botulist wins |
Sharkattack
08.15.20 | He’s got a shitton of momentum |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | Daaaaaamn. |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | I thought I had this round. |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | So close bloodshy |
SlothcoreSam
08.15.20 | you can always cry into my sloth juice filled pillow. |
bloodshy
08.15.20 | Gross, plus Duchess is still on it. |
Trifolium
08.15.20 | Oh my goodness that was a close one!!!!!! I'm glad my weirdo of a rec turned out to be alright. But eeeeeeeeeeeeek! Without that bonus it probably wouldn't have happened! |
dedex
08.15.20 | brutal round |
