JohnnyoftheWell: SPUT ROYALE: FINAL

JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	you can vote for one band. list is 5/5 albums only so it should probably be difficult idk. Boris discog > Heads discog though alas, so boris
fogza 09.27.21	Not really big into either band, but I'll go: 1. Talking Heads
nightbringer 09.27.21	guess this is over for me
evilford 09.27.21	Talking heads
parksungjoon 09.27.21	Talking Heads
Trifolium 09.27.21	1. Talking Heads!!!!!!!!!!!
evilford 09.27.21	I must avenge ISIS and other phrases that get me placed on government watch lists
nightbringer 09.27.21	Aye, ISIS have entirely the right approach (to post-metal)
Sinternet 09.27.21	Love both, but will try to even the early votes out a little and go Boris
someone 09.27.21	Talking Heads
Icebloom 09.27.21	Talking Heads
JesperL 09.27.21	idk boris that well but i have never felt like peeling my fucking eyes out while listening to them so 1. boris
nightbringer 09.27.21	I probably have a slight preference for... Boris
Pheromone 09.27.21	did i ever tell you about my boris t shirt
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	yeah all arbitrary (or otherwise) rivalries aside, this is a far more pleasing final than last year and all of Bowie, Coltrane, Danny Brown, Converge, Buckethead, Isis, Unwound, Melt-Banana, Envy, motW and Tim Hecker went out nobly and for a good cause, blessed RIP their names deserve mucho glory for this also based that we got rid of Deftones
evilford 09.27.21	Hell yeah
CottonSalad 09.27.21	This is actually a garbage outcome lol
CottonSalad 09.27.21	“also based that we got rid of Deftones” The silver lining I came for.
evilford 09.27.21	Id be lying if I said I wasn't surprised that boris got this far. I know this site likes them a lot but had no idea they were top 2 sputcore material
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	ez best case scenario from the semi (and probs quarter), sucks that Bowie went down as a collateral but we can't all be grinners "The silver lining I came for." renewable every year, i hope
CottonSalad 09.27.21	Danny Brown v. Hecker was a dream outcome lol
CottonSalad 09.27.21	I should vote tho…. Boris
evilford 09.27.21	Even tho I technically should vote bowie over heads, it's gr8 that heads got this far and they rule ahrd and deserve the attention
JesperL 09.27.21	in all fairness to the finalists: at least there's no alleged abusers among them i believe
nightbringer 09.27.21	now there's your silver lining
Pheromone 09.27.21	johnny boris shirt did i
SteakByrnes 09.27.21	I vote Bowie
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	hey phero jam the fragile
Space Jester 09.27.21	Boris
nightbringer 09.27.21	If you squint hard enough, 'Boris' could be 'Bowie'.
JohnnyoftheWell 09.27.21	if you trip hard enough, Urban Dance could be the second half of Low?
nightbringer 09.27.21	Theoretically, I agree.
parksungjoon 09.27.21	The very notion that any mode of genuinely extreme music could percolate without the celebratory pandemonium generated by the gleefully seditious, and magnificently sordid, Throbbing Gristle is not only implausible; it’s nigh-on impossible. Excluding the creepy Dadaism of The Residents, the ‘70s produced nothing to rival the quixotic and profoundly nightmarish clamour of TG’s atonal debut; with their impenetrable, libidinous ejaculations of corrosive ennui and diabolic kraftwerkian rancour, they inculcated a seething, industrial affront to popular culture; baiting audiences with icy, mechanoid barbarianism that remains as perversely enigmatic today as when originally conceived. Part two the endless not ululates downer, intestinal gurglings, leaking tainted folds of vocal dementia; a murky morass of exhilarating obfuscation, gradually sublimating the listener’s id beneath a clotted, calamitous shroud of despondency. For over two decades they have excelled at ruthlessly conjoining disparate genre’s; brutally dislocating conventional musical motifs, and lovingly reassembling their derisive parody of pop music. That so much of Throbbing Gristle’s inspirational absurdity still retains the power to unnerve, is arguably due to their singular genius of unearthing malefic oscillations, mimicking the covert, quivering squelch of oozing human viscera. Part two the endless not is both eerie and euphoric, transparent and infuriatingly cryptic, diseased and vigorous; this is painfully corporeal music, using not so much scales as living cells of sound which they corrupt and metastasize into shrieking gobs of passion; similar to the bravura way both David Lynch and Werner Herzog deify dysfunction, TG also author mesmeric parables around the extraordinary and defiantly prosaic nature of mankind. Much of part two the endless not plays out like a potent laudanum reverie, engorged with febrile convulsions of naked desire; where Genesis P-Orridge’s sibilant tones offer plaintive, breathy non sequiturs over unctuous, grimy nodes of electronic discord. Incredibly, their beauteous ‘Rabbit Snare’ with its hazy, opiated, jazz inflections and neo-noir allusions is merely one incandescent composition within this fleshy kaleidoscope of galvanizing auditory splendour.
nightbringer 09.27.21	percolate
biggzhc 09.27.21	Talking Heads
SteakByrnes 09.27.21	okay johnny I'm gonna vote are you ready?

AlexKzillion 09.27.21	How long will this stay open Johnny? Wanna actually check some Boris albums so I can vote Also, I guess it makes sense that Talking Heads make the finals every year. Solid, uncontroversial band that appeals to the most people. Kinda surprised Floyd beat them last year tbh

rabidfish 09.27.21	Talking Heads
vacantPlanet 09.27.21	Boris boomers gonna throw this for talking heads rip
kkarron 09.27.21	Boris
Demon of the Fall 09.27.21	Talking Heads is the right choice but I'll abstain as I didn't vote for so many rounds, also I'm protesting as it's clearly fixed. Also will be funny as hell if Boris wins and then we can call them Sputcore forever evil laugh.
Colton 09.27.21	hahahah oh man. if Talking Heads win, the implications of that will be massive in a way that I don’t think this site fully grasps yet. I’ll have to make a list to explain. But this will change everything forever
Colton 09.27.21	1. Talking Heads
fogza 09.27.21	What will the implications be if boris wins?
Uzumaki 09.27.21	Boris
JesusCage 09.27.21	Talking Heads
nightbringer 09.27.21	I imagine the result will have the same implications as the previous result: the users who don't like it will occasionally remember it and wince.
nilsson 09.27.21	Talking Heads
Colton 09.27.21	you're missing the bigger picture nightbringer
nightbringer 09.27.21	I await your illumination!

Storm In A Teacup 09.27.21	Extremely lame. Only good thing is admiring Johnny’s dedication and hard work. 😍
Storm In A Teacup 09.27.21	Yeah I voted talking heads cuz I think they influenced Taking Back Sunday and the name Boris sounds awful. That’s all I know about either. Don’t think they ever had strong community interaction here on Sputnik so it doesn’t really make sense they are the final.
DadKungFu 09.27.21	Boris is basically japanese Taking Back Sunday so good call 👍
sometimes 09.27.21	seems legit

JohnnyoftheWell 09.28.21	"album vs album or band vs band" band vs band! "Yea I think you didn’t pay much attention" this is storm's guyz-unwounds-guitars-are-noisy moment from last yr all over again
Storm In A Teacup 09.28.21	I’m just mad about Hopesfall. I’m aware of them being popular. Mad at Johnny, mad at pheromone. Mad about it. 😡😡😡
Storm In A Teacup 09.28.21	And when I say I’m aware of them being popular that’s not talking heads or Boris I’m talking about 🤬🤬🤬

FadedSun 09.28.21	"embarrassing fuckin website" What a comment. You act like the voting here was representing the entire Sput community, when only a handful of users even voted, and some people likely even skipped rounds. Also, only certain bands/artists even made it into the pools. If you take this at all seriously, or this website, then I don't know what to tell you.
Minushuman24 09.28.21	boris duh
LeddSledd 09.28.21	only reason I voted for Boris is cuz Talking Heads would be a more boring pick

FadedSun 09.29.21	Yeah, and the site hasn't changed since 2005. It's exactly the same. Shit features and all haha. I had to ask Johnny for the voting templates to make our lives easier. Also, don't you have some Converge hating to do or something, Storm? Why you going to hate on me when I'm one of the few people on here who still love Hopesfall? Getouttahere
Ryus 09.29.21	it's past your bedtime grandpa
