| How to become a pile of crap in 40 easy minutes!
Fuck, guys. Do you ever take a nap in the afternoon and then when you wake up it's like you're three feet deep in a swamp of fog and guilt? Naps are the bane of my existence, but I have been having trouble sleeping lately and I needed to play a little catch up today. Fuck naps. What better way is there to feel productive than to spend an hour making a list on Sputnik??? List is albums I've been listening to lately with little blurbs and favorite tracks. | | 1 |  | Me And That Man
Songs of Love and Death
This fucking rules. Negral doesn't re-invent the wheel but this dark blend of country is the shit. Ain't Much Loving is so Nick Cave-y. | | 2 |  | Wild Beasts
Present Tense
Art-rock shit I never thought I would be into but these guys have a few really solid albums. I think this one is my favorite. Mecca, Palace, Wanderlust, Pregnant Pause, the list goes on. | | 3 |  | Graf Orlock
Crime Traveler
Saw these guys open for HORSE. Definitely better live than on CD, but I've been digging a few tracks from this. See: A Decent Proposal in a Shitty Alley. There is also a funny DOOM skit about space marines as well. | | 4 |  | Infinity Shred
Long Distance
The guys also opened for HORSE and I was surprised how much I liked them. Self-described 'sad EDM', this album is 100 times better than their debut. Tragic Lagger, Motiv and Monolith are my jam. | | 5 |  | Manuel Trillo
June
Sputnik user album that is just gorgeous. Wrote a sound off about it last night. I really like An Old Fire, A New Fire, Aging, Ink, June, and City of Ghosts. Bravo, Dewinged. | | 6 |  | Manchester Orchestra
I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child
I've got this on vinyl so I have a hard time not playing it when I've got the turntable spinning. I could go on and on about the track list, but I won't. | | 7 |  | In Flames
The Jester Race
Speaking of vinyl, my girlfriend picked this up a couple months back insisting In Flames hasn't always been terrible. I'd heard that here and didn't believe it. What a mistake. Closer is probably my favorite. | | 8 |  | mewithoutYou
Ten Stories
My most recent 5, I think. This took years to grow on me, but I'd say it's right behind Brother, Sister as my favorite mwY album. Favorite tracks are Feb 1878, Cardiff Giant, Aubergine, Fox's Dream of the Log Flume, Nine Stories, Bear's Vision of St. Agnes. | | 9 |  | Alcest
Shelter
Funny how the most calm and beauty album from Alcest is the one people fight over the most lol. I'm all about Voix Sereines. So god damn good. | | 10 |  | I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business
I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody's Business
Dug this 2004 release out on Spotify randomly the other day. I'm sure if you're a fan of The Early November you'll know that this is Ace Enders' first(?) solo(?) release. It's a bit front-loaded but there are some really good songs here. The song titles are dumb and I can't remember which songs are which. | | 11 |  | BOBBY
BOBBY
This kept getting bumped by Conmaniac and Boney the other day. I have no idea what it is or if i like it, but at least the opener was cool. | | 12 |  | Murder by Death
In Bocca Al Lupo
One of my favorite albums by one of my favorite bands. Whiskey, ghost towns, crime, death and whiskey. Some guy tried to sell this to me on vinyl back in '07 ad I didn't have a turntable so I didn't buy it. What a fucking idiot I was. Can't go wrong with Brother, Dynamite Mine, The Big Sleep, Shiola. | | 13 |  | Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds
No More Shall We Part
This one never clicked with me before, but I've been getting into it lately- really listening to lots of Cave because I had been reading one of his novels (which was awesome, btw).
Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow has become a favorite Cave song for me (seriously, check the music video), but As I Sat Sadly by Her Side is great too. | | 14 |  | Pinegrove
Cardinal
Another thread bumped a lot recently by Boney and Con. Album is pretty awesome, very easy to listen to in any mood. Old Friends, New Friends, Aphasia, Size of the Moon and Visiting are my favorite. | | 15 |  | Full of Hell
Roots Of Earth Are Consuming My Home
Figured I'd finally check these guys out since they are releasing a new album. This is the only one I've listened to and it was just pretty good. Honestly don't know any of the track names. I had this playing while I did dishes the other night. | | 16 |  | Ion Dissonance
Breathing Is Irrelevant
Fuck you guys and fuck me too for not making me listen to this. This name had been thrown around a lot because of the types of metal I've been into over the years and instead of listening to the first, I heard Minus the Herd, found it very meh and never checked them out again. This rips.
Starts good, ends better. The run from Dath of One Man Is a tragedy, The Death of 10,000 Is a Statistic on is just pure mayhem. Equal parts Calculating Infinity War From a Harlot's Mouth and Tony Danza? I don't know. Listen to this if you haven't. | | 17 |  | mansionz
Mansionz
lol was this a betray rec? It is fucking awful but it made me laugh a lot. STFU was pretty good. I guess these two guys wrote a hit for Justin Beiber back in the day (seriously) and decided to write their own parody songs to farce the pop music industry. | | 18 |  | Vildhjarta
Masstaden
Someone called Harvey Djent, we're about to melt off half of your face. Hadn't heard this in a bit. Favorites are Dagger, When No One Walks With You, All These Feelings and Deceit. | | 19 |  | Arsonists Get All the Girls
Portals
Spotify likes to play this album to me a lot for some reason. Not my favorite AGATG, but still good. Violence In Fluid: Triceratops is like if BTABM didn't take themselves so seriously and actually put out a good song after Colors. Fight me. | | 20 |  | The Killers
Hot Fuss
Had a nostalgic itch to scratch. the first half of this is way better than the second.
Smile Like You Mean It is my favorite. | | 21 |  | Rufio
Perhaps, I Suppose...
See above description. Loved these guys in junior high or whatever.
Above Me and Selfishness were always my favorite. | | 22 |  | Converge
Jane Doe
Come on. You guys know why I listened to this. Classic album.
Concubine, Homewrecker, Phoenix in Flight, Phoenix in Flames, Jane fucking Doe m/ m/ m/ | | 23 |  | Foxing
The Albatross
Eeeeemooooooo. Seeing these guys open for mwY made me like them even more.
Love Bloodhound, Inuit, The Medic, Rory, Bit By Dead Bee I& II, Den Mother, Quietus. | | 24 |  | Thantifaxath
Sacred White Noise
One of my favorite metal releases of 2014 and I was able to get it on vinyl for like $12 or some shit through Dark Descent.. For some reason the first song rubs me wrong. The riff is cool and unconventional but almost gives me anxiety to listen to it, idk. The rest, however, is great- especially Where I End and the Hemlock Begins. | | 25 |  | Khemmis
Hunted
Mark this down as an album I never thought I'd enjoy. I always forget who rec'd this to me, but it was a user here. Three Gates fucking rules and has them harsh vox I need to make this more interesting. | | 26 |  | HORSE the band
Desperate Living
1! 2! 3! H the B!!! You may have seen me and cliiiint and MeatSalad (among others) bumping this thread repeatedly over the last 2 months or so, sorry 'bout it. There's good reason, they are touring right now and we (sans Mr. Salad) we able to catch their show. It ruled. New song ruled. Apparently no real plans for new material though.
Favorite songs: Cloud Walker,The Failure of All Things, HORSE the Song, Desperate Living, Big Business, Rape Escape (check that classic piano piece that shouldn't work with a breakdown but does) and Arrive. | | 27 |  | Old Man's Child
The Pagan Prosperity
I told my girlfriend I asked sput for dm recs because she didn't listen to any and then she made me put this on and I felt a tiny amount of shame. I don't know any of the track names, but this album and the one after it are pretty sweet. | | 28 |  | Federale
All The Colours Of The Dark
Thank the heavens for A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night- without that movie and its soundtrack my sorry ass probably wouldn't know who these guys are. Think Morricone-y Spaghetti Western stuff but modern with vocals and with a darker flair.
Digging the title track, Almeria, I Swear I'd Never Kill, Ain't Gonna Run.... well that's the first 4 songs in a row right there so it's safe to say I like all of this. | | 29 |  | Ne Obliviscaris
Portal of I
Man, I was that annoying user on her that kept saying how much more refined and how better Citadel was than this for at least a year. I'm eating my words. This shit is amazing.
I love the whole thing, but my favorites are probably Of the Leper Butterflies and And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope right now. | | 30 |  | Glass Casket
We Are Gathered Here Today...
Yeah, buddy, she's a ripper. Had a dream I was at my own funeral while I took a nap and thought of this.
Pencil Lead Syringe, In Between the Sheets!!!!!! | |

04.07.17 | I don't expect anyone to read all of this, but I'll take recs or whatever. Just kind of wanted to make a discussion thread to get my head out of the mud. | evilford
04.07.17 | What better way is there to feel productive than to spend an hour making a list on Sputnik??? [2]
nice list
check toadliquor | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | I fucking did this today. I dreamed that my co-worker sliced up his arm really badly on something and I was desperately searching all over for the first aid kit but there weren't any bandages anywhere. It was a co-worker from my old job in Colorado. The dream keep cycling through different environments but I just kept fruitlessly searching. Awoke in a mild panic.
It's like trying to shift your body out from under a pile of boulders. Fuck napping. | Conmaniac
04.07.17 | ayy great list thanks for the shout out. but avoid that BOBBY album man | FullOfSounds
04.07.17 | hey this is a great list ily bizzles
I hate napping, feels like such a waste of time | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Ford, I totally checked their album the other day because of one of the sludge threads and it was pretty slick- any recs for similar bands?
Jesus, zip. Seems the Sandman wants to piss on us in our sleep.
@FoS, yep. It's a total waste of time. I don't even like to sleep in for the most part, so fuck a nap.
@Con lol you hating on BOBBY? I don't know what to think of it, but I don't think I'll be checking it out again. IT has like 6 ratings, how did it even get brought up? | Spacesh1p
04.07.17 | Check Thou dude. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | I keep seeing them bumped, Space. What's your favorite and I'll try to check it this weekend. | Spacesh1p
04.07.17 | Heathen is their best but maybe check Tyrant first, bit easier to digest imo. | Spacesh1p
04.07.17 | If I wasn't rocking out to some Pentagram I'd be jamming some Thou right NOW | evilford
04.07.17 | thou confirmed best band made in last 20 years | evilford
04.07.17 | besides obliteration | Conmaniac
04.07.17 | it was just really boring imo man | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | Whenever I cuddle up to my girlfriend and nap with her I sleep really soundly. Sometimes too soundly and then she complains that I spent all day asleep and we didn't do anything.
But that's not the point though.
We should cuddle sometime bro, hmu | dbizzles
04.07.17 | That's high praise for Thou.
Con, I thought it was going to be interesting after the first and second songs, but whatever they were going for kind of sucks.
Zip, I don't cuddle. I sleep vaguely like the Jordan logo and sometimes move violently. | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | Hush now, I'll make you my little spoon and you're gonna sleep like a baby | dbizzles
04.07.17 | thx ddy | RogueNine
04.07.17 | But naps are life. | Dewinged
04.07.17 | Damn! Thanks for the inclusion dbman! So glad you dig it. About naps, fuck them, really, and this is coming from a guy whose home country is famous for having siesta as a national sport. | BlushfulHippocrene
04.07.17 | I hate naps so much. Great list, though, man. June is excellent, and I hated mansionz (although I've heard some fantastic songs from Blackbear). I might give Ten Stories a listen now. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | @Rogue, naps are death.
@Dewi, necesito siestas par no gusto siestas jaja.
@Blush, I know nothing of this Blackbear, but yeah masionz are lolbad. Give Ten Stories sometime, she's a slow burner for some. | Dewinged
04.07.17 | Las siestas son la muerte db ;) | avery14th
04.07.17 | Ten Stories just behind Brother, Sister agreed. and yeah I always feel like shit after naps but I get some real vivid dreams/nightmares to entertain me so its all good | dbizzles
04.07.17 | I usually have pretty vivid dreams when i nap too but they are always about the most fucked up and incoherent shit. | bloc
04.07.17 | I don't nap, don't have the time for it. I sleep very well at night though. | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | I have vivid nightmares all of the time. About half the time it involves things I'm stressed about in real life.
The other half is me killing people or getting otherwise entangled in extremely violent and grotesque situations. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Lucky, bloc. I sleep well when I can actually fall asleep, but I really have trouble making that happen. Gonna have to find a way to change it.
Zip, I get shit like that too. Work dreams are the worst and violent dreams usually piss me off because I can't inflict damage in dreamland. I throw punches that either hit a soft forcefield or seem to lose all force when they land lol. | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | I have that same problem. It just feels like I'm powerless. Not all the time though.
I vividly remember strangling a guy unconscious whilst visiting a friend in prison. I remember stabbing a woman in the temple after she betrayed us and my squad was ambushed by Chinese soldiers. I remember executing an Admiral and his high class courtesan at point blank range.
Secret Agent: Zippa T. Rippa 00666 | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Hahahaha fuck, dude. Sounds like our dreams come from a similar place. | ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | I think it's gotta be all the cheese I eat | nol
04.07.17 | smile like you mean it jams! | neekafat
04.07.17 | Haven't taken a nap in years. I think I've taken one nap since I was 6. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Those keys, noler!
Smart man, neeka. I try to avoid it, but I was wiped today. | TheSpaceMan
04.07.17 | yoo that weak punch phenomena in dreams gets me too, the most common helpless feeling i get in a dream is not being able to walk because I'm too tired and have no motor control. like I'm drunk af, tripping sack and succumbing to the effects of nyquil, but i'm in the middle of a grocery store or climbing stairs at work. i cant really explain how scary/frustrating it is but yea | MeatSalad
04.07.17 | Yeah naps suck | unclereich
04.07.17 | naps are the greatest thing ever stfu @all | RogueNine
04.07.17 | Ty Fourth. | Demon of the Fall
04.07.17 | Napping is for pussies (joking but I never nap, feels weird... just drink coffee & go to bed at night). I can't comprehend napping in the day AT ALL, maybe I'm the one who's strange... | rabidfish
04.07.17 | naps are the bomb, don't talk shit.
| ZippaThaRippa
04.07.17 | You're Spanish you don't count. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | At least we can all agree that 7.5-8 hr. naps are the best. | Relinquished
04.07.17 | napping is the best when get a lot of shit accomplished in the day, damn you guys take it for granted. be more productive!!! | Dewinged
04.07.17 | wait rabid is Spanish!? | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Be productive, take naps. lol | adr
04.07.17 | sleep is one of my favourite things in life
naps are the greatest thing ever stfu @all [2] | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Don't get me wrong. I wish I liked naps. I wish they didn't make me want to wake up in front of a moving bus, but they do 90% of the time. | Demon of the Fall
04.07.17 | Sleep is great, naps just feel dirty though... like you're cheating. Plus if you accidentally sleep too long in the day it screws with your body clock & you'll be awake half the night. | Relinquished
04.07.17 | it's like adapting is hard
OH WAIT WE'RE HUMAN | dbizzles
04.07.17 | I napped for less than an hour last night and couldn't fall asleep until 1AM, so that just stressed me out. I do feel better today though than I probably would have without the stupid nap. That's why I forced myself to take one anyway. | Demon of the Fall
04.07.17 | I didn't even nap as a baby, ever. Only time I've ever napped is when I was too hung-over to make it through the day & sleep seemed like a better recovery option. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Those naps are even worse haha. I'm only totally cool with naps if I have the flu or something. | rabidfish
04.07.17 | dude siestas (as we call 'em) are essential for a happy, productive life. If you don't fuck with naps you playing this game all wrong, bruh. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | K, I do usually end up napping on Christmas, but that's because I'm always up way too late on Christmas Eve and way too early Christmas day. That's kind of tradition for me though and more like just going back to sleep rather than taking a nap so it never fucks with me. | rabidfish
04.07.17 | for a nap to not fuck up your day, it must not take place more than 1-1.5 hrs after you had lunch. Lunch/nap is a hand-in-hand deal. DON'T NAP IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A NICE, GOOD LUNCH. Don't take a 5pm nap, either, that's the shit that makes you feel like crap afterwards. | dbizzles
04.07.17 | Yeaaaaah, I ate lunch around 1 took a nap at 4. That does not fit your instructions, Dr. Fish. | rabidfish
04.07.17 | i'm not your nap doctor, dummy
More like a nap shaman, i guess. |
