Pangea: Song of the Day Sep 2022: Nature themeðŸŒ³ðŸŒ¿ðŸŒ»

Pangea 09.01.22	Will make this look prettier in a little bit. Also working on the spreatsheet now
kevbogz 09.01.22	fishman's long season
kevbogz 09.01.22	jon hopkin's music for psychedelic therapy.
SlothcoreSam 09.01.22	Ooooh I like nature. Let me think
SlothcoreSam 09.01.22	Kapitan korsakov- In the Shade of the Sun ( off the album Stuff and Such) https://youtu.be/eg6oam97C3g
Scheumke 09.01.22	It's been a while since I participated but I'm back haha. I'll add a little instrumental song from one of my inspirations and absolute hero's when I started out as a classical guitarist: Harry Sacksioni - De Ierse Kust https://open.spotify.com/track/5Y8JGJd9mSsZKPBSmuTeC4?si=md8X6f9cT1CNMj-y1KrSDQ&utm_source=copy-link Tanslated as 'The Irish Coast', I think it fits the theme perfectly and though I've never been to Ireland, it paints a vivid image of what it would be like in my mind. Hope you enjoy!
Pangea 09.01.22	Thanks for the recs Kev. If you pick one song then i can put in here Great to have you back Scheumke!
Pangea 09.01.22	Scheumke can also give a youtube or bandcamp link? not everyone might have spotify
Scheumke 09.01.22	Hahah this is so unknown that I can't even find it on youtube except for a 20 year old live version with bad quality and as a solo performance. I'll link it for the people without Spotify but if you can, please listen to the Spotify version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMy8g27QErs
Koris 09.01.22	Oh man, I've got a gone one for this theme: Norah Jones - Seven Years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwcMlP9ZMZg Not only does the song use the imagery of falling leaves in the chorus, but the whole tune evokes the feeling of autumn in general. Listening to the song always mentally transports me to a chilly morning in the forest
ArsMoriendi 09.01.22	"Flowers of the Sea" by Dead Can Dance (from Garden of the Arcane Delights) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrSPcH5Jdfo
PitchforkArms 09.01.22	Probs a basic af pick - The Wild Hunt - The Tallest Man on Earth. Just gives you an outdoorsy feeling and some whimsical imagery.
Hyperion1001 09.01.22	sweet a theme I can actually contribute to this time. Drexciya - Under Sea Disturbances drexciya is basically the best band ever. aquatic, atmospheric, subterranean bliss, skittering electro rhythms, fully synthetic but feels totally organic. stay deep, stay pressurized. https://youtu.be/VN5ffrlBPrA
rifkadm 09.01.22	Blue Ridge Mountains by Fleet Foxes https://youtu.be/d370CKlg-wk Self explanatory, but its also on my road trip playlist for a cross country motorcycle trip I still have to take. Heard great things about the Blue Ridge Parkway.
rifkadm 09.01.22	Blue Ridge Mountains by Fleet Foxes https://youtu.be/d370CKlg-wk Self explanatory, but its also on my road trip playlist for a cross country motorcycle trip I still have to take. Heard great things about the Blue Ridge Parkway.
kevbogz 09.01.22	boy did i not take a single second to read the description. disregard
Pangea 09.01.22	Update! fucked up and forgot to enter the album art while putting 3 in the database. Hopefully the edit will work That's a shame Scheumke. I included the yt link but hopefully everyone can access spotify
Pangea 09.02.22	Okay making this my morning work routine: sotd + coffee + checking email 2. In the Shade of the Sun - This is a little over 8 minutes Sam! Not going to change it now, but please mindful next time. Anyway i do love this song, it builds very nicely and the climax is awesome. 4.5
Pangea 09.02.22	Made a spotify playlist again! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3S3v70o3MatX2guIGeoWun?si=64f93eef1d414083
Pangea 09.02.22	hell yeah! it's a good routine, i'm trying to get into that more consistently
SlothcoreSam 09.02.22	It's one of those songs you don't even realize goes for 8 minutes, woops. Glad you dig Brothers.
fogza 09.02.22	Baaba Maal - Diahowo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43aLFgguhZY I have no idea what this is about and the sounds of nature don't really persist past the start. It always reminds me of the empty balloon of precipitation pregnant space that precedes a thunderstorm.
Vercetti 09.03.22	The Hu - Mother Nature (from Rumble of Thunder) https://youtu.be/wSkSEvROssU Feels like an obvious choice for me. The album came out yesterday and I'm listening to it a lot.
Pangea 09.03.22	3. De Ierse Kust - Ah this is lovely! Made me honestly really happy. 4.0
ReefaJones 09.03.22	Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5V9nK7-OkM
Vercetti 09.04.22	1. Rausch 7 â€“ In a lot of cases instrumental songs feel very incomplete to me. Additionally, Iâ€™m not able to make the connection between this and nature. The rhythmic noise in the background reminds me more of working machinery. Iâ€™m sorry, I just donâ€™t feel it â€“ 2.5
Mort. 09.04.22	ryuichi sakamoto - walker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MxvVacrT2M from async
Koris 09.04.22	Definitely go with the Haley one, Mort. Absolutely love that one Edit: it appears we've reached an impasse
Mort. 09.04.22	ok will i go with walker
Vercetti 09.04.22	2. In the Shade of the Sun â€“ Donâ€™t mind a long build up, but this is really long (dude, thereâ€™s an 8 minutes rule!). And there isnâ€™t enough interesting stuff happening to justify the length. I still think it ends in a cool way. But why does it take so long to get there? â€“ 3.0 3. De Ierse Kust â€“ Yes, Iâ€™m still not a fan of instrumental music, but I have to say that this actually reminds me of nature. I guess thatâ€™s a common thing with folk music. It just naturally sounds more nature-ish than something like techno. â€“ 3.0 4. Seven Years â€“ Quiet, short song with an acoustic guitar. 3.0
Pangea 09.05.22	4. Seven Years - well this , is fine i suppose. It's nice. 3.0 5. Flowers of the Sea - fairly cool ritual shit, but i feel like the song never gets as interesting as it wants to be. 3.0
garas 09.05.22	Satyricon - Into The Mighty Forest https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=5ILW3DzuDYQ&feature=share
Pangea 09.06.22	6. The Wild Hunt - ANND III PLAAN TO BE FORGOTTEN WHEN I'M GONEE. 5.0
Vercetti 09.06.22	5. Flowers of the Sea â€“ hypnotizing sound. The strange sounding female vocals just add to that â€“ 3.5 6. The Wild Hunt â€“ I donâ€™t like his voice, but at least he does interesting things with it â€“ 3.0
Pangea 09.06.22	booo johnny
Egarran 09.06.22	Grandaddy - The Group Who Couldn't Say https://youtu.be/esxNH90-j5k When office workers discover the wonders of nature. Ooh it's a lyrics video too. Is good lyrics yes.
Hyperion1001 09.06.22	gonna get caught up today, busy weekend.
Shemson 09.06.22	Nice theme, gonna go for Devin Townsend - Earth Day and Iâ€™ll dig out a YouTube soon!
Trifolium 09.06.22	OK OK OK I've got one: Maurice Ravel - Lever du Jour (from Daphnis et ChloÃ©) https://youtu.be/ovfu-5RO278 Sunrise. Personified. One of the most hair-raising pieces I've ever heard. And it is LOUD ( L O U D ! ! ! ! ! ! !!!!) when you hear it played live, oh my gosh. It overwhelms you yet warms you. And it's gorgeous. Also there are singing birds.
DavidYowi 09.06.22	Type O Negative - Green Man off of October Rust Itâ€™s about Peter Steeleâ€™s job where he worked for the NY Parks and Recreation department. https://youtu.be/EWkh13Efebg
fogza 09.06.22	1. Gas: Rausch 7 - I listened to this twice today but I can't remember much about it except that it was pretty repetitive. 2.5
fogza 09.06.22	2. Kapitan Korsakov: In the Shade of the Sun - I was down with the vibe of this but I feel like I've heard tons of songs with the same progression and cadence that achieve the same thing more economically and with more impact. 2.5
fogza 09.06.22	3. Harry Sacksioni: De Ierse Kust - It's fairly pretty. 3.3
fogza 09.06.22	4. Norah Jones: Seven Years - Norah is one of the few people on the smooth dinner party circuit that has a unique and utterly distinctive voice. Hyper relaxing, but as usual, I feel like it's missing an element to make it memorable besides her voice. 3.2
fogza 09.06.22	5. Dead can dance: Flowers of the Sea - Busy, incoherent, messy, thumbtacks on vinyl. 2.9
fogza 09.06.22	6. Tallest Man on Earth: The Wild Hunt - It's so bad that I'd rather listen to the Lumineers. 1.5
fogza 09.06.22	"unusually insightful today diva, damn i'm excited for this month now" What did I do to deserve this ire
fogza 09.06.22	Johnny, I like you and usually I'm ok with a dig at my expense but maybe using diva as a two for one deal joke is a bit shit considering his absence and circumstance
fogza 09.06.22	Yeah he's got cancer, and I'm actually a little worried about him tbh, which probably sounds a bit stupid and alarmist but there you go
fogza 09.06.22	Ok, yeah sorry for being touchy, not really fair if you weren't aware
MiloRuggles 09.06.22	Malibu Ken - Tuesday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgOYDTkUZsk A bit of a different take on natureâ€”Tuesday frames nature's persistence as a sign of negligence on behalf of our pus-ridden protagonist, whose absence sees fungi and cacti alike thriving.
MiloRuggles 09.07.22	1. GAS - Rausch 7 One second in and love how fucking dusty this sounds, that kick drum can kick in my backdoor any time. Being real, I hear no nature here, but this is fucking great. 4.2 2. Kapitan Korsakov - In the Shade of the Sun Again, not feeling naturefied, but that was cool. Maybe a bit hamfisted, but anthemic shit. 3.8
someone 09.07.22	man if you have Ichiko and Ryuichi, youve covered all the basics, i have nothing to add here
someone 09.07.22	but then that means i will have to listen to all the other songs too. jeez i will try listening to this, but it will be blasting at work, so if any vaguely death metal or whatever song comes on, i'm stopping it instantly.
fogza 09.07.22	7. Drexciya: Under Sea Disturbances - Maybe I'm just in a bad mood but I don't understand why people like this kind of thing. Sounds like someone flipped on a beat and is testing out the keyboard to check the action on the keys. I don't mean someone the user though, like in the random person sense. 2
someone 09.07.22	I submit Archy Marshall - Thames Water cause you know, it's water. not that much in London can be considered nature https://youtu.be/Ze_4qwsqDgU i'll be brief 1. GAS - Rausch 7: rudimentary ambient music with a mildly foreboding edge. tis fine, but i guess i've just heard too much ambient music in my life to be impressed by it. a very biased 3/5 2. Kapitan Korsakov - In the Shade of the Sun: this got post-rock-ey all of a sudden. likeable 3.5/5 3. Harry Sacksioni - De Ierse Kust: eh (sorry for the lack of comment-y-ness) 2.5/5 4. Norah Jones - Seven Years: adorable. 3/5 5. Dead Can Dance - Flowers of the Sea: classic of weirdo-instrumentals, making white people all over think they're listening to "world music". 4/5 6. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt: his voice is much more nasally than i remember. still a touching tune. 3.5/5 7. Drexciya - Under Sea Distubances: used to blast this like 10 or so years ago. thanks for the throwback. 4.5/5
Egarran 09.07.22	Rausch 7 - Foreboding is a good word. Must admit I don't hear how this is a forest, he must hang out in some pretty oppressive ones. 3.4/5 In the Shade of the Sun - I feel I have heard this song in a thousand post-rock guises. But it's a good song. 3.7/5 De Ierse Kust - That is indeed very Irish. I can't think of anything else. 3/5 Seven Years - Very chill. Boo that slide guitar. 3.2/5
Hyperion1001 09.08.22	1. GAS - Rausch 7 i love everything voigt has done but somehow i never got around to listening to this album. sublime track, i love the sampling. gotta check this whole thing out asap. loop it until infinity 4.5 2. Kapitan Korsakov - In the Shade of the Sun not "bad" music in the technical sense, but so bland and ordinary that the nearly 9 minute run time seems like an eternity. no one here is a good enough musician to make this even slightly engaging. sounds like what an AI might make if you fed it the right words. 1.7 3. Harry Sacksioni - De Ierse Kust my parents loved blasting music like this during my childhood so i have a soft spot for it. very dynamic for a folk song, goes all over the place. fun listen. 3.7 4. Norah Jones - Seven Years not really my thing but probably great for someone into this style. 3.0 5. Dead Can Dance - Garden of the Arcane Delights great tribal ambient stuff with good vocals. ive liked what ive heard from this band so far, i should check out more of their stuff. 3.8 6. The Tallest Man on Earth - The Wild Hunt not my thing, bad vocals. 2.0
fogza 09.08.22	8. Fleet Foxes: Blue Ridge Mountains - I usually find FF boring, but this one is engaging and all the elements make sense. 3.7
Pangea 09.08.22	7. Under Sea Disturbances - cool shit. Definitely has some of that cold aquatic atmosphere. 4.5 8. Blue Ridge Mountains - all non-crack up fleet foxes albums only have one really good song and unfortunately this is not the one. I like the pretty piano in the beginning but otherwise meh. 2.8
evilford 09.08.22	I'd like to take this opportunity, in the wake of Scott Kelly's admission of abuse, to remind people that Neurosis is more than Scott Kelly and has accomplished truly beautiful things. (But yes he's a terrible person) I've selfishly struggled coming to terms with the fact that the frontman of arguably my favorite band of all time is an absolute piece of shit. I guess the moral of the story is don't idolize celebrities. But it's not about me, or anyone really but his (former, most likely) friends and family. I really hope the family gets whatever help they need, and I challenge music listeners to remember that there are/were many other people involved with Neurosis' music, legitimately good people who poured their hearts and souls into their craft, and it showed. Sorry for the dumbass cheesy monologue, here's the song, "To the Wind," off of Given to the Rising. (LP, 2007) https://youtu.be/d-O4wHgzzCs
evilford 09.08.22	Inb4 i get copy pasta'd for that
evilford 09.08.22	Also ill try to check some of these out soon
anat 09.08.22	I will do a rec but Iâ€™m thinking ðŸ¤” ðŸ’
Egarran 09.08.22	>the empty balloon of precipitation pregnant space that precedes a thunderstorm Suddenly poetry, very nice.
z00sh 09.09.22	Robbie Basho - Night Way https://youtu.be/QPe8gLe8OXk
Pangea 09.09.22	9. Diahowo - yeah great vocals, but without any backdrop, it gets tiresome pretty quickly. 2.3
Vercetti 09.09.22	7. Under Sea Disturbances â€“ Relaxing techno â€“ 2.5 8. Blue Ridge Mountains â€“ Itâ€™s okay â€“ 3.0 9. Diahowo â€“ Sounds interesting, but I would have preferred it with more instrumentation. During the end, when you hear a bit of drumming, it sounds much better â€“ 3.5
Vercetti 09.09.22	Not sure how much this matters to anyone, but since a full translation of Mother Nature is hard to find, I thought I post the lyrics here. This translation is taken from the albumâ€™s cd booklet. No guarantee that itâ€™s 100% correct: [Verse 1] A raven arrives from the east and lands at the gate Calls caw caw Does it say be aware of the culprits from far and near Fear not A black-billed magpie hops and waggles its tail Chatters wock wock Do you beseech and say to stay away from disputes Fear not [Chorus] Dear mother, are you worried about your child Did you offer milk in the early sunrise Dear mother, is your soul troubled Did you fly your words to your child with no hesitation [Verse 2] In a straw valley a noble crane flies up Calls in echoes Telling your son, the rainfall of the high heaven is underway Your son is well Dark clouds swarm and sounds thunderously Downpour and spill Granting loving heart to common sense It is a great destiny [Chorus] Dear mother, are you worried about your child Did you offer milk in the early sunrise Dear mother, is your soul troubled Did you fly your words to your child with no hesitation [Verse 3] Gentle breeze whistles and kindles faith Did you say be aspired Did my mother whisper, be confident in mind Your son is well White falcon flies in circles over the Toono Hastens and dives It folded the time and conveyed the ancestral spirits and mettle It is a great destiny Dear mother, your royal wisdom is a precious treasure for your children It is a great destiny Dear mother, your royal courage is the supreme force of Mother Earth
Egarran 09.09.22	Those are good lyrics. Reminds me of Amorphis.
Shemson 09.09.22	Ok so sadly Devin Townsend Earth Day is a whopping nine and a half minutes so hereâ€™s my unexpected counter song clipping. - She Bad This is not a celebration of nature, rather a Blair Witch inspired horror story. Daveed is a master of description through slick lyricism so I hope you all enjoy natureâ€™s sinister side especially the use of a squeaky gate sample https://youtu.be/abN2Hqlvz9E
DavidYowi 09.11.22	1. Gas - Pleasant enough but kinda falls into the background, which was probably the point. 3.3 2. Kapitan Korsakov - Good build up but way too damn long. 3.0 3. Harry Sacksioni - Fun jaunt through the woods. 3.5 4. Norah Jones - Short, sweet, but nothing particularly amazing. 3.3 5. Dead Can Dance - Ominous yet gorgeous, will probably check more from this group in the future. 4.1 6. TTMOE - Listened to this earlier for the sput competition and man I'm not crazy about this guy's voice. 2.6 7. Drexciya - Pretty cool track and didn't feel like 8 min at all. 3.9 8. Fleet Foxes - Beautiful track, really fond of the chord changes. 4.1 9. Baaba Maal - Very captivating for a near vocal only track. 3.9 10. The Hu - Remember thinking their first record is just fine but this I like this more than pretty much anything on that album. 4.0
fogza 09.11.22	10. The Hu: Mother Nature - Wow Roger Daltrey does not sound like I remember him at all. Jokes aside, there lots of elements I don't like, but actually a fair amount that I do. 3.4
fogza 09.11.22	11. CCR: Green River - Quintessentialy CCR, no-one sounds like Fogerty, just sweet southern riffs. Spent years denying this band is great, dunno why. 3.8
fogza 09.12.22	12. Dream Dolphin: Ichiban Tsumetaku, Ichiban Yasashii Umi - Sounds like the sex scene music in a early 90's made for TV movie involving a guy with a ponytail. 2.5
fogza 09.12.22	you're welcome ðŸ¤£
Divaman 09.12.22	Renaissance - Carpet of the Sunbr /> In hospital. Canâ€™t provide link. Itâ€™s on the Ashes Are Burning Lp.
SlothcoreSam 09.12.22	Oh damn, sorry to hear Diva, wishing u the best, if you have any medication questions hit me up.
fogza 09.13.22	13. Ichiko Aoba: amuletum - Ichiko is usually a bit boring but I like the arrangement and more fleshed out instrumentation on this, quite beautiful. 3.6
Vercetti 09.13.22	11. Green River â€“ Old classic that stood the test of time and fits the theme â€“ 4.0 12. Ichiban Tsumetaku, Ichiban Yasashii Umi â€“ the quiet, almost whisper like, vocals support the dreamy atmosphere quiet well â€“ 3.5 13. Amuletum â€“ I could imagine this as part of a soundtrack for a very poetic movie â€“ 3.5 @Dedex: Happy Birthday!ðŸŽ‚ @Diva: Itâ€™s great that you found the time to come by and rec a song! Wish you the best!â¤
fogza 09.13.22	oh shit is it dedex's birthday? happy birthday ðŸ¤œðŸ¤› here is a hippo emoji because they are cute looking (although quite deadly, don't go near any hippos) ðŸ¦›
Egarran 09.13.22	virgins unite! dedex and diva are love
Pangea 09.13.22	No problem Diva, glad that you're here! lemme update and catch up in a sec
Pangea 09.13.22	10. Mother Nature - weird vocals but cool music. 3.3 11. Green River - it's okay, very 60s music, but kinda passed me by. 3.0 12. Ichiban Tsumetaku, Ichiban Yasashii Umi - nice, chill stuff. Really enjoy the beats. 4.0 13. Amuletum - it's Ichiko, it's pretty. Not one of her more engaging songs though. 3.0
Pangea 09.13.22	Updated the spotify playlist too! misses the dream dolphin, grandaddy & Robbie Basho tracks though
Pangea 09.13.22	HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEDEX ðŸŽ‰ðŸŽ‰ðŸ¥³ðŸ¥³
fogza 09.14.22	14. Ryuichi Sakamoto: Walker - I have a feeling that if you're really into ambient, this is probably very good stuff. I'm not all that invested in the genre so I'm gonna score this a completely in the middle 2.5
MiloRuggles 09.14.22	3. Harry Sacksioni - De Ierse Kust â€”Hurry up, Freddy! You're gonna be late for school! â€”Don't worry, Mom, I've got my skateboard! Smell ya later! EXT. SUBURBIA, MORNING FREDDY weaves his skateboard between pedestrians, causing many a minor slip, but miraculously avoiding any truly damaging accidents. He almost careens into a BAKER carrying a precarious armload of baguettes, but swerves at the last second. He nudges the baker, sending a single baguette tumbling end over end [high speed camera] toward the pavement. Freddy drops his torso to the sidewalk, arresting his skateboard's momentum in a circle so perfectly scraped it could have come from a compass as he deftly flicks an arm up to prevent the bread's demise, even manages to send it sailing smoothly back to the top of the baker's armload. â€”Why you little... begins the baker, before catching sight of Freddy skating into the shimmering distance, waving in a manner both apologetic and cheerful as the title card rises from the horizon in a blazing typographic sunrise: "DE IERSE KUST" 3.5 the guitar's fun
MiloRuggles 09.14.22	4. Norah Jones - Seven Years Perfectly pleasant, kinda nothing song with a surprisingly active arrangement at work aightaight 3.5
MiloRuggles 09.14.22	5. Dead Can Dance - Flowers of the Sea The internet appears to think that this song is an instrumental and yet I can quite clearly hear vocals. What a fucking conundrum. hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm, there's not really that much going on here, nice as it is. 3 Portrait of the artist IN HECK indeed
Mort. 09.14.22	i dont know who anyone is anymore because of name changes
MiloRuggles 09.14.22	but sputnik tells me it must be my real name!! (I really wanted Senor Ruggle but the appropriate accents were broked) 6. The Tallest Man On Earth - The Wild Hunt If I heard this at an open mic I would probably fill my daks and cry, but I am appraising music on the internet and will just thump a fuckin [[3.2]] on it instead
fogza 09.14.22	"well FUCK YOU fogza for uno reversing your typically stalwart basic bitch credentials" i am still a man of the people johnny, next rec i will choose a take that song
Mort. 09.14.22	should have done the haley heynderix track
fogza 09.15.22	15. Satyricon: Into the Mighty Forest - Oh my god did my guitar explode into fuzzy matchsticks? Abuse those drums my friend. 1.5
Pangea 09.15.22	14. Walker - really nice ambience. Definitely not the most immediately appealing song, but it has so much going on under the surface that's exciting to explore. 3.5 15. Into the Mighty Forest - nice & cool bm. the acoustic bits in the background really made it for me. The riffs at the end are badass too. 4.0
Pangea 09.15.22	Okay it's time to open it up for 2nd recs!
Mort. 09.15.22	2nd recs? haley heynderickx - bug collector from i need to start a garden
fogza 09.15.22	Benguela - Eshowe Cicadas https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=-ucPCKtxJzo&feature=share or https://benguela.bandcamp.com/track/eshowe-cicadas
Egarran 09.15.22	Bad ratings coming up, apologies in advance 5. Dead Can Dance - I've always thought that I should love this band. On paper it sounds just right for me. But I don't and it isn't. They're more about style than actual good songs. 3/5 6. The Tallest Man on Earth - Count me as another not fan of this guy. 2.5/5 7. Drexciya - What fogza said. 2/5 8. Fleet Foxes - Sure it's nice but it's so bland. 2.5/5 9. Baaba Maal - Subtitles would be great, it sounds like they are making some profound observations. Dig the vibes. 3.3/5 10. The Hu - "Dear mother, your royal wisdom is a precious treasure for your children." Very topical. I like the sound but the songwriting is not quite there. 3.8/5 11. CCR - Great band to know when you're learning to play guitar. But I don't like this song much, It's icky, like a dirty beard. 3/5
fogza 09.16.22	16. Grandaddy: The Group Who Couldn't Say - Grandaddy sound like the B team version of a bunch of other indie fave bands. This one reminds me of them doing a B team take on "Kamera". 3
Egarran 09.16.22	Yeah but that's not about nature is it
Pangea 09.16.22	one more spot! how exciting, who will claim it???? Nujables is at the 30th because it got screwed up somehow before
Pangea 09.16.22	16. The Group Who Couldn't Say - this is good indie, but it feels fairly standard as well. 3.3
fogza 09.16.22	"Yeah but that's not about nature is it" i hath courted the wrath of the goat, and for it i hath been smote
fogza 09.16.22	"lol dismantled" i see you chortling on the sidelines don't think i don't threatening stare
Egarran 09.16.22	It was the best comeback I could think of. Now I've heard Kamera and I can hear some similarities, but Grandaddy is clearly better.
fogza 09.16.22	oh sweet sweet egarran grandaddy is the never the better version... it's always just the version
SlothcoreSam 09.16.22	2nd rec. Somewhere South of Here - Pines Off their new album Leave Me For The Crows https://somewheresouthofhere.bandcamp.com/track/pines For those that don't know, it's fellow Sputbro PitchForkArms band.
Egarran 09.16.22	damn fogz that was mean ðŸ˜¢
fogza 09.17.22	17. Clipping: She Bad - If you're into ghost stories round the fire, then the lyrics are pretty good and there's lots of speed and skill in the delivery. It's niche though, and I don't find the backing adds up to much, like great foley work but I'd rather listen to a radio play for that vibe. Just not for me. 3
fogza 09.18.22	18. Maurice Revel: Lever du Jour - Outside my comfort zone but quite lovely, I get what trif is saying, it's very sunrisey. 3.8
Vercetti 09.18.22	14. Walker â€“ This is more interesting than I thought it would be. At first, I wasnâ€™t even sure if I can consider it to be music. But I think it could work really well as background music. And it fits the nature theme. â€“ 3.5 15. Into the Mighty Forest â€“ Like the guitar, donâ€™t like the vocals â€“ 3.0 16. The Group Who Couldnâ€™t Say â€“ Sounds boring to me, but I have to admit that the lyrics are pretty good â€“ 3.5 17. She Bad â€“ I feel like I have to give it points for A) being unconventional B) keeping story telling rap alive and C) keeping horrorcore fresh and alive. Besides this Iâ€™m not a huge fan of the sound and the minimalistic â€œbeatâ€. Made me think of Yelawolfs Sabrina. 3.0 18. Lever du Jour â€“ Classical, instrumental music â€“ I usually just like it when itâ€™s in a movie I love. Idk â€“ 2.5
Pangea 09.19.22	17 She Bad - creepy shit. 3.2 18 Lever de Jour - pretty shit 3.5 19. Green Man - why does the vocalist sound like a gnome eddie vedder. -0.5 for that sudden cut. 2.0
fogza 09.19.22	19. Type O Negative: Green Man - Some comic rolling of R's, but surprised by this, I'd always seen their album covers in second hand stores and thought they'd be ghastly bad, but this is actually a palatable slice of goth rock. 3.4
Egarran 09.19.22	Bloody Kisses and October Rust are the two best goth rock albums ever made so yes (this cannot be discussed)
someone 09.19.22	dedex over there giving a Nujabes rec trumping us all with his superior taste
Pangea 09.20.22	20. Tuesday - goofy but very fun. 4.2
Egarran 09.20.22	12. Dream Dolphin - Nice but vapid. 3 13. Ichiko Aoba - That's a bit more like it. I'm a sucker for harp, man. 3.5 14. Ryuichi Sakamoto - Damn, it's too early to observe the weed number. OK this is too zen for me. After these 3 recs I'm actually looking forward to Satyricon. 2.5 15. Satyricon - They've never been my jam for some reason. Still you gotta love that early BM sound. 3.6
Egarran 09.20.22	I stretched that rating to a 3 to not trigger your anger. And it almost worked!
Mort. 09.20.22	should have recced grass by xtc from skylarking FUCK
fogza 09.20.22	20. Malibu Ken: Tuesday - Would I listen to this again? Probs not. Was it pretty good? Sure. 3.3
fogza 09.21.22	21. Anchy Marshall: Thames Water - Anchy says one line way too many times in the middle of this. I kept eyeing that Iggy Pop 82 interview in the YT suggestions, and hoping this long ass track would finish so I could check it out. It was, btw, quite amusing. 2.5
Pangea 09.21.22	21. Thames Water - yeah this didn't really hit me either. The atmosphere is pretty cool, but i never feel myself getting invested in what's going on. 2.8
Pangea 09.22.22	22. To the Wind - yeah basically [2]
fogza 09.22.22	22. Neurosis: To the wind - I actually wouldn't mind this so much if it wasn't for the vocals, and I'm not really even saying that based on the recent stuff that's come about this guy. But frankly the band should just be an instrumental act anyway, would be far cooler. 2
DadKungFu 09.22.22	22. Just ok, did nothing for me. And yeah Scott was pretty integral to Neurosis' sound. They'd have gone nowhere without his vocals.
fogza 09.22.22	"instrumental neurosis would have been a stoner's garage band and wouldn't have influenced shit" i think everyone here knows me well enough to know that i'd rather they'd influenced all their contemporaries into being stoner post rock bands.
Egarran 09.22.22	that was my exact thought
fogza 09.23.22	23. Robbie Basho: Night Way - I'm a sucker for this type of guitar. The vocals are unexpected and I like it, sounds like a big clunky bird being pushed around by gusts of wind. 3.8
DadKungFu 09.23.22	Robbie Basho is always a 5
fogza 09.26.22	24. Renaissance: Carpet of the Sun - One or two nice flourishes and very professional. Something about this is too clinical for me, but they're good at what they do. 3.1
fogza 09.26.22	25. Cali: Roeder blade - Pretty, but I wanted something to happen that was more more. 3.2
fogza 09.26.22	26. Haley Henderickx: Bug Collector - Some nice elements, I like the horns at the end. Ultimately, it is too familiar and slightly half baked. 3
Pangea 09.26.22	23. Night Way - Beautiful guitar work, i am really feeling the nature in this one. 4.0 24. Carpet of the Sun - happy & upbeat, really nice listen! reminds me of ABBA a bit. 3.8 26 The Bug Collector - very nice guitar work and i can appreciate the horns. Nothing else is really grabbing me though. 3.2
Vercetti 09.26.22	Time to catch up a bit: 19. Green Man â€“ Song is okay, but I never was a fan of this manâ€™s voice â€“ 3.5 20. Tuesday â€“ Nice flow, cool video â€“ 4.0 21. Thames Water â€“ I donâ€™t have anything to add that hasnâ€™t already been said. This isnâ€™t for me - 2.0 22. To The Wind â€“ When he sang â€œto the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiindâ€ I felt that â€“ 3.0
Egarran 09.26.22	17. She Bad - Nice, haven't heard this kind of rap before. Wish the video had lyrics. 3.5 18. Lever du Jour - Yup, this calls for morning coffee. 4 19. Green Man - Love it. Gnome Vedder ftw. 4
Shemson 09.26.22	Iâ€™ve been really busy all month so havenâ€™t rated anythingâ€¦ Iâ€™m off work Friday so might do a mega run down in one day ðŸ¤£ Glad to see a few digging She Bad, because she do be bad. Agree with Egarran I looked for a lyric video too as that would definitely enhance the experience. Also Johnny is right Something Underneath absolutely destroys if you enjoy experimental beats, storytelling and an insane flow.
Pangea 09.27.22	27. Lamp - woah nice piano, this is nice. 4.0
Pangea 09.27.22	Anyone that would like to host next month?
Mort. 09.27.22	i could maybe host. spooky songs is the immediate thing that comes to mind seeming as it will be october.
Pangea 09.27.22	Okay great! It's yours if you want to
Egarran 09.27.22	20. Malibu Ken: Tuesday - It was a mistake to watch this while eating. More weird rap. This sounds more like a gimmick. 2.6 21. Thames Water - Bored out of my little mind here. 2 22. To the Wind - Pristine and powerful: yup that's Neurosis [3] 4 23. Night Way - Loved the guitar, don't love the vocals. 3.5 24. Carpet Of The Sun - Those are some heavy 70's vibes. Cute song. 3.5
fogza 09.27.22	27. Haruka Nakamura: Lamp - holy shit johnny recommended music! 3.5
Pangea 09.28.22	28. Eshowe Cicadas - cool jam yesss 4.3
Vercetti 09.28.22	23. Night Way - Loved the guitar, don't love the vocals.[2] â€“ 2.5 24. Carpet of the Sun â€“ Those vocals are almost too high for my taste, but I canâ€™t be mad at a song that sounds so much like sunshine and happiness â€“ 3.5 25. Roede Blader â€“ Fits the theme, doesnâ€™t really fit me â€“ 3.0 27. Lamp â€“ It makes me feel melancholic, which I weirdly like â€“ 3.5
Egarran 09.28.22	25. Roede Blader - Very pleasant and autumnal. 3.8 26. The Bug Collector - That's a good follow up to 25. The trumpet seems unnecessary. 3.8 27. Lamp - The acoustic guitar theme continues. Excellent. I never made it through Anchorman. 3.8 28. Eshowe Cicadas - That fuzz thing kinda ruined the song for me. 2.7
fogza 09.28.22	" That fuzz thing kinda ruined the song for me" you can't deny the fuzz thing sounded very natural though
Egarran 09.28.22	Well, like, everything is natural, man
fogza 09.28.22	so then "kamera" is about nature too then, sweet. undismantled
Divaman 09.28.22	Havenâ€™t been able to rate songs this month, but I am enjoying reading all of your comments.
Egarran 09.28.22	these blurbs somehow make for good reading
Divaman 09.28.22	They do.
fogza 09.29.22	29. Nujabes: Imaginary Folklore - I don't understand how sput thinks this guy was better than Neil Young. Peak slightly better than averagecore. 3
Pangea 09.29.22	29. Imaginary Folklore - fogza is still not over that loss, and after listening, i realize i am not either. 3.0
Koris 09.29.22	I have a good concept for the October SOTD if no one else has dibs on it yet :]
Pangea 09.29.22	Mort already expressed interest Koris so he gets priority. I can save November for you though
fogza 09.29.22	mort had some sort of pathetic, half hearted motion to host, but didn't confirm anything and is frankly a bit weak and wishy washy
Pangea 09.29.22	Eh he still expressed interest so i don't think it would be fair to give it to someone else without discussing first
fogza 09.29.22	but you agree that his offer was like day old dishwater? it had the spinal integrity of a small caterpillar, or perhaps a silkworm? I AM POKING THE BEAR
Mort. 09.29.22	'mort had some sort of pathetic, half hearted motion to host, but didn't confirm anything and is frankly a bit weak and wishy washy' i love this lol 'but you agree that his offer was like day old dishwater? it had the spinal integrity of a small caterpillar, or perhaps a silkworm?' i love this even more, gave me a big chuckle pls mr koris if you have a sure idea for october feel free to take it i dont mind : )
Koris 09.29.22	Alright cool, I won't let you down :']
Pangea 09.29.22	Okay it's settled then! lemme know if you would like to host in November Mort then i can save that for you
fogza 09.29.22	shit even my banter is lovable
Egarran 09.29.22	Banter improves just by moving to England, the official home of banter.
Mort. 09.29.22	luv me sputnik luv me banter hate me mods simple as
Vercetti 09.29.22	26. The Bug Collector â€“ Beautiful lyrics â€“ 3.5 28. Eshowe Cicadas â€“ Cool beat. Iâ€™m especially enjoying the drums â€“ 3.0 29. Imaginary Folklore â€“ Artsy, dreamy, somethingy â€“ 3.0
Vercetti 09.29.22	I already rated lamp. I accidentally skipped The Bug Collector last time
fogza 09.29.22	johnny of the unobservant
Egarran 09.29.22	29. Imaginary Folklore - Miss, there's almost no melody in your vocal lines, it makes me uncomfortable. And the beat is too busy - I need more dreamy and less something. 2.7 30. Pines - I was about to complain, but then came a delightful change and the song became a sweet jam. 3.8 pats self on back
Egarran 09.29.22	You seem extra tense today? Also you can't hurt me cos I finished this on time and I feel fucking invincible.
Egarran 09.29.22	Aw be happy for me, once? I don't like when we have these fights in public.
fogza 09.30.22	30. Somewhere South of here: Pines - solid slab of alternative rock. 3.3
Egarran 09.30.22	Thank you dedex. It's not easy being in a public abusive relationship.
Vercetti 09.30.22	30. Pines - Let the month end with a bang. Good stuff - 3.5
fogza 09.30.22	"i dont like when you guys have these fights in public" i dunno if it's fighting, feels more like foreplay
MiloRuggles 10.01.22	7. Drexciya - Under Sea Disturbances Lacks a bit of the audible WEIGHT that defines the stuff of theirs I like the most. The way the keys skitter over the kinda half-assed churn elevates things tho 3.3 8. Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains Solid track for obvious folk-is-wholesome reasons 3.7 9. Baaba Maal - Diahowo Takes a bit too long to take off I think. Sounds like it would make a sweet interlude, but not digging it in a vacuum 2.7 10. The Hu - Mother of Nature Great solo tucked away in here. Feel like I'd love to see this live. Final run is pure fun, but the overall direction/emoting doesn't quite land for me. 3.3 I (sorta) promise I'll catch back up over the next few days, sorry for being shit. Love your work, Pang. Looking forward to the next one; I find heaps of cool music through these even if I kinda suck at participating.
Pangea 10.01.22	Looking forward to it Milo! your takes are always good to read. Will finish up & update myself tomorrow as well
MiloRuggles 10.02.22	11. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Green River At some point I disliked this band, and these days I quite thoroughly do not. This track is a pretty stock standard v i b e for them. 3.5 12. Dream Dolphin - Ichiban Tsumetaku, Ichiban Yasashii Umi I feel like I'm in a PS1 menu that's gonna transport me into noddyland as soon as I hit select or smth and I like it 3.5 13. Ichiko Aoba - amuletum Man, what a logical artist to pick on this theme, noice. Very very beautiful and delicate stuff, of course, but inertia definitely sets in in the last minute or so. 3.7
SlothcoreSam 10.06.22	The lyrics Johnny, the lyrics. "You were there when the pines gave way to the sand You were there when the tide came up to our feet" What's not nature about that, lol, even though it's a metaphor about the dudes love life.
Mort. 10.06.22	hmmm i dont think so
Divaman 10.06.22	Have we officially called this month yet for Vercetti and The Hu (#10)?
Divaman 10.06.22	Ah, you are correct sir.
Pangea 10.11.22	30. Pines - Yeah pretty good, good chorus. 3.3
Pangea 10.11.22	Okay now i have added everyone's votes and we have a clear winner! and it's Lamp with all votes added
Egarran 10.11.22	Good job. Quote of the month: "Peak slightly better than averagecore." -the fogzter
fogza 10.11.22	thanks eg, to this day i dunno why i can't generate any pasta
Egarran 10.11.22	you lack a subtle streak of insanity
