 | neekafat My writeup for Perfume Genius is done!
|
 | VaxXi Oh damn, writing for newspaper now, eh? Even if its just a college paper that's great to hear.
|
| VaxXi Yeah I get you. I don't go on sput much anymore. Now it's just RYM and Discord, been thinking of rearing my head in here to drop a Think Peace review tho
|
| VaxXi sup man, long time no see
|
 | SandwichBubble Can't comment on Share Your Singles, but good job as always.
|
 | Papa Universe Nevertheless, I shall make it my duty to spam every new blog with the same remark, until SSS4 arrives. Such is my destiny.
|
 | Toad of course. make room for it one night, sit down and read the whole thing. dense but super rewarding. and good luck with the rest of it!
|
| Toad absolutely! this one makes a wonderful case for canonical revision in favor of minority (read: ignored human) viewpoints
|
 | Devastator Your rec man here, my rec is Vheissu by Thrice. Let me know if you'd prefer something else.
|
| Papa Universe (this kind of sounds like sarcasm, but trust me, it isn't. Not once have I ever heard in the 40 years that I can write that that's the case...feels weird)
|
| Papa Universe Welp, that's one grammar lesson I needed my whole life. Never did anyone ever tell me that.
|
 | Frippertronics bump the phil to a 5 and you'll be forgiven for even posting that in my shoutbox
|
 | ArsMoriendi It's a little more on the hard rock style, but in a mid-60s kind of way. It occasionally sounds like The Doors, but like a year before The Doors were even a band.
|
 | verdant thanks man! pretty chuffed ahahah
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts the ep is cool if u want to hear my first flourish into the new tech that i do what i do on. and yeah, the lp is very the knife influenced but also with a lot of coldwave/darkwave/synthwave/industrial kind of influence as well going on.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts plz do! i released an ep called Vermillion Shoals which is the first material i ever recorded for hikrahe (and originally included Salmon Arm and Mango which ended up on Lily instead) and then i released Fear of the Drum... which was made both slightly before and parallel to Lily and thats the new LP... its stylistically a lot different from Lily tho be warned, its a lot more the knife inspired where Lily was more Gold panda inspired
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts thanks for keeping me in the loop in my shoutbox while i was away lmao
|
 | anat Hey, no worries, I didn't realise. Can't think of anything to replace it with anyway lol
|
 | TVC15 Hey bb can you look over my One More Light Review? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vdII-QY2NOJcNIbw22KeD_A9a4XuHOqaqs46Zvbssxs
|
 | Jom Whatever you prefer! That thread is fine, but if you want to hatch out some details over e-mail instead (especially if the servers refuse to cooperate as they have been lately), feel free to shoot me an e-mail. Happy to help either way - cheers!
|
 | hesperus yeah, i'm gonna try to get the pwr bttm review out soon, but you might have to wait a day or two. some wiseass wrote a terrible review about how the album is bad because liv is non-binary so i'm not really in the best mood to write mine
|
| VaxXi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmZKVOaTc68 - new song from that sufjan stevens planet project
|
 | FullOfSounds It's gonna be a once a month thing - 7 albums for the whole span of the month
|
 | wwf lmao avoiding that thread probably is for the best
|
| Frippertronics it's officially out in japan, but its american release is on the 28th.
|
 | Rev just saw your rating thank you for being a good good daytrader boy keep on catfishing married women
|
| VaxXi thanks, parappa is my current obsession right now. unless you talking bout the scrooge mcduck pic. http://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/2X17 - this is the account ive been posting from in case youre interested.
|
| VaxXi I was on break from the website during applications, so I'd have to apply next year. I've been posting reviews from a side account for a bit and they've been getting pretty solid reception. I hope to keep it up and see if that gets me a contrib tag.
|
| VaxXi congrats on contrib man
|
| FullOfSounds You'd love it tbh, lots of hooks and varied songwriting. Power pop is a good way to describe it.
|
 | hal1ax ya man her stuff is so ethereal and dainty i love it
|
| hal1ax ohhhh i was not aware of this! thank u my man. gonna check asapp
|
 | AngryLittleAlchemist Hey man. Sorry about what happened on skype. I got pretty mad at Tyler/Drifter.
|
 | theBoneyKing Like so often it feels like artists choose a good song as a single but not one that works really well on its own or as a song you want to play over and over again. Hot Thoughts is exactly that kind of song.
|
| theBoneyKing yeah it's hard to beat that song, really a perfect choice for a single
|
| theBoneyKing Nice man, I hope it stays in that bracket for you ;-]
|
 | JustLikeBart Haha. 'Sup Daytrader Vader, my perfect business child.
|
 | Sowing thanks dude...I'll give it a listen. seems pretty cool even if the singer sounds kinda like your generic female indie vocalist
|
| Frippertronics damn son where the beach boy crew at?? sunflower review and it's dead on siiiiiiiight
|
| TVC15 OMG CONGRATS WITH CONTRIB BB
|
| theBoneyKing and Lowell though, that's for sure ;-D (for some reason the rest of my first message was d eleted the first time)
|
| theBoneyKing It's definitely poppy and pretty happy, though not in too sickeningly a way - it's very thoughtful and insightful, and there are some more somber moments too. It ain't Carrie
|
 | talktothehead Oh man that excites me!! Tbh everyone is starting to annoy the **** out of me in skype chat so id be happy to have you back! and dude Pet Shop Boys are TIGHT.
|
| talktothehead Holy s*** YOURE A CONTRIB? OMG BRUH SO jealous! Good job dude!
|
 | Rowan5215 Congrats dude! It'll have to be a special one for me, probably a Floyd or something
|
| theBoneyKing I was surprised at how many they promoted. You definitely deserve it!
|
 | Pon big congrats on your new tag man
|
| FullOfSounds http://www.sputnikmusic.com/images/members/1053699.jpg
|
| talktothehead Really kind of annoyed how little moderating restrictions are on Skype though. like when TVC was spamming. And OK boss lol ill get on it tommorrow morning. Im only up cause of coffee tbh
|
| talktothehead That was actually pretty fun. Thanks bro. I'll listen to sufjan eventually i promise lmao.
|
| talktothehead Cool. Im going to warn you there will be some spam or s***posting. Even if you host a convo on skype you can't really moderate, it's a weird system.
|
| talktothehead I mean tbf my old stuff was pretty cringe. I'll add you sure. I thought maybe you forgot who i was. What is your skype?
|
| talktothehead i mean i don't mind man you were pretty cool when we first met and that timstarz thing was cool but it doesn't seem like you'd want to be in a chat where I(ALA) is a host
|
| talktothehead are you being serious? you hate me and said i was one of the biggest mistakes to happen to sputnik.
|
| FullOfSounds holy s***: https://1080pcollection.bandcamp.com/album/aimless-summer
|
| FullOfSounds I'm hyped 2 check it. This your first TS album?
|
| FullOfSounds Nice dig, Throwing Snow is one of my favorite electronic artists right now
|
| SandwichBubble Don't think I'm coordinated enough to act something like that out. Plus, I don't want to be a nuisance to anyone. :)
|
| SandwichBubble beautiful, its like poetry; it rhymes haha I'm debating whether or not to keep my 5 on this for laughs
|
| SandwichBubble give it a rate man. I want to see the string of 5s broken
|
| SandwichBubble no it's genre-defining plunderphonics my dude. ;D (sorry haha)
|
| SandwichBubble https://m-o-s-e.bandcamp.com/album/thats-not-jazz-ep | it's great, genre-defining plunderphonics i swear
|
| VaxXi oh my, both of those tracks are sexy af. thank you so much for bringing it to my attention he had something on the way!
|
| FullOfSounds lmao that's so filthy. Kirby's cool tho. My mains are Toon Link and Dark Pit.
|
| FullOfSounds Thanks bro gonna check it out after this XTC album (btw you should put them in your diet)
|
| theBoneyKing That's a solid folk track, thanks for the shout. It looks like he's got an EP coming next month so I may check that out when it drops.
|
 | Conmaniac jammin it now and it sounds sweet. def excited for it
|
| Conmaniac oh dang really? had no idea thanks man. such an underrated band on here honestly
|
| VaxXi he doesn't even sound like he was trying, its one of the most lifeless and pointless albums ive heard in a long while.
|
| VaxXi Dude, the new SOHN album is absolutely abysmal.
|
| Sowing If you like emo and pop punk you'll love it. I'm trying to decide between a 3.7 and a 4 but either way it's up there. The guitar work on the album is great. I'm planning on reviewing it when I get time.
|
| FullOfSounds omg i'm falling in love with bjork for the first time rn
|
| VaxXi are you looking for stuff from 2017?
|
| FullOfSounds Yeah 2016 was my first year for music so all my discoveries were from Sput. Might do the Twitter thing toooo.
|
| FullOfSounds Me too, it has a huge back library so it's a lot I'm gonna look through. This year I'm gonna start using other sources to find music other than Sput
|
| FullOfSounds Also I got it from this blog: http://strictlybeats.blogspot.com/
|
| FullOfSounds Figured this was for you, it's so smooth. U gonna love it
|
| Rowan5215 I'll give it a sneaky peek now, I can't say I've heard much from this month yet tho
|
| VaxXi dude this is dope af
|
 | Cygnatti it's more straightfoward indie/dream/synth (yet some how also not!). it still has some electronic elements, but they take a backseat. there are even some funky sections on here! while often melancholic and bittersweet in tone, but it's always endearing and precious (as well is super catchy). one of the most consistent albums i've ever listened to tbh :]
|
| Cygnatti have you jammed 'you will never know why' yet? i feel like you'd be one the those who might actually like it even more than v:d:c. :]
|
| Toad will do, thanks for the rec
|
| FullOfSounds Seems this stuff happens at the worst of times. Thanks man. Typing it up again right now since I'm not as pissed
|
| FullOfSounds Oh absolutely check those. The downtempo alb was probably Edamame - Ochre
|
| Toad oh i definitely will before i go to bed, thanks for the heads-up!
|
 | Calc dude injury reserve
|
| theBoneyKing Haha, maybe. Not sure I'm actually prepared to take house recs atm though :-P
|
| theBoneyKing Lamo. That could be a good basis for a joke list asking for house music recs.
|
| FullOfSounds I could see how you can vibe with it. Just gotta find the right time y'know
|
| FullOfSounds Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions - Until the Hunter. Dreamy folk with a dash of country
|
| FullOfSounds A more punk-y version of him yeah. I found it only be a 3.5 because it found itself in a comfy niche and depended on the riffs and vocals, which were just fun overall.
|
| FullOfSounds Thanks for the rec man. I'll give it a listen tonight and report back
|
 | InVein yet another new clarence clarity trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhNxhVx8MBgin case you missed itcheers
|
| VaxXi heads up bro, you said "atistically" instead of "artistically" in the header.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts yeah they are my newest big boner crush. hope they do an LP soon
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts but i DID get to see this band and they are all the boners ever; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpIhmYxCJ2E
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts i just missed them live on thursday cuz i had to go to my stupid friends gig instead
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts that was pretty good! check this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-T3j1yA8oI
|
| VaxXi Thanks again for the help, its super appreciated.
|
| VaxXi hey buddy, you wouldnt mind looking over my 24k magic review and shooting some tips, would ya? https://docs.google.com/document/d/17PzdXau7vEpRhC9JjViMdy3S4V3Lt5jEuUXsqQhPDV8/edit?usp=sharing
|
| VaxXi Yeah, its a fine track on its own, but its place on an electronic heavy record confuses me. Sounds like it was a b-side to 24k Magic or a bonus track that was added to compensate for the fact that this was a super short album.
|
| VaxXi Not really sure how I feel about Perm. It sticks out like a sore thumb and the "bring your sex" line is incredibly awkward, even for this album. Title track jams, too. And I like the final track because it actually manages to be a Bruno Mars Piano Ballad without making me want to kill myself.
|
| VaxXi sweet. which tracks were your favorites btw? I liked Thats What I like, Finesse, and Too Good to Say Goodbye the most.
|
| VaxXi you wouldnt mind giving it a proofread once i get a decent draft written up, would ya?
|
| VaxXi Was expecting it to be the usual course of 'two good tracks' per album for him, but damn it blew me away. Writing a review for it that I hope is wrapped up on release day.
|
| VaxXi another 24k magic fan~
|
| VaxXi welcome! lemme know what you think cuz imma be jamming this to the end of time.
|
| VaxXi https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0eIXikgt-xCX2pPWFR4M2cySnM - album art is missing but track order is correct. i might type up a review for this cuz its killin me.
|
| VaxXi yeah, couple hours ago. it absolutely slays. i can send you a link to it cuz its impossible to find through google.
|
 | RogueNine You read my mind, I just opened it up. I like it!
|
| FullOfSounds Thanks for the heads up. Haven't even heard their classics yet but I'm interested in how this new one turns out
|
| theBoneyKing Cool, hope you enjoy. I've only just given it one listen but it's very good methinks.
|
| theBoneyKing You might dig the new Jim James album, there's a lot of funk/soul elements but mixed with a dreamy neo-psych vibe.
|
| Toad hmm that sounds nice, i'll check v soon
|
| VaxXi no, but im super interested now.
|
 | ellagos https://youtu.be/36E_-R6cJ9A got them gryff vibes
|
 | Snide Ableton would be better for the actual glitching part (if you're planning to do it yourself, if you're gonna use presets or loops, FL is simpler)
|
| Snide Mixing: Sony Acid Pro. Recording: Reaper (for instruments), FL Studio / Ableton (for electronics) (Ableton is far better but FL Studio is more simplistic and easy for new producers to use). Interface: Scarlett 2i2. Two JBL LSR305 studio monitors (allows you to hear everything in your mix at a decent budget). What specific genres are you going for?
|
| Snide Hey man, you've heard my electronics, and how my production sounds. You want a complete list of the equipment / programs I use?
|
| VaxXi https://zuluzuluu.bandcamp.com/album/whats-the-price - gotta hear this asap.
|
 | LotusFlower Also, unrelated, but is it possible if you can look over my highly experimental review of Sum 41's 13 Voices and tell me how it looks? https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yX0-8P8YI1lGJeK83kc3MUvDuzF_yoYDXA_OpTNRwS0/edit?usp=sharing
|
| LotusFlower I JUST TWEETED HIM A FEW DAYS AGO ASKING HIM WHERE HES STORING ALL THE TUNES AND HE SAID "SOON" IM SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE NEW TRACKS COMING OUT.
|
 | AlexKzillion Haha been looking to change it for a while now but I can't find another political meme that can top it.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts here is my new alb; https://solarmasscollective.bandcamp.com/album/lily-the-wilt
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts it is the same dude yes! thanks a lot. i will have a full LP of stuff in this vein by the end of the year and also a couple random eps too i believe
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts new song of mine u may like https://soundcloud.com/solar-mass-collective/krahe-salmon-arm-rainbird-feat-lambsbreath-anne-emberline
|
| Snide Hey man, I just dropped my new album if you're down to check it - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=169520
|
 | rabidfish dude, if you haven't u should check out Jupiter One, a band K was in before going solo... Nice stuff in it, quality indie pop.
|
| Sowing Hey, can you select an album from next week's releases (see news post for 9/9)? Exclusions are any staff dibbed albums, so you can't select Devin Townsend, The Dear Hunter, Local Natives, Nick Cave, or Okkervil River. This will be used in conjunction with the other options for the review challenge. Thanks!
|
| Cygnatti sweet, lemme know when u wanna play. i'll be busy for most of this week tho jsyk. :)
|
 | Brostep Gratz on the win! I'm the lucky soul who gets to conduct the interview this week - send me an email at wrobinson dot sputnik at gmail dot com so we can figure out a time!
|
| Sowing Excellent. What time zone?
|
| Sowing Your review was selected as the best from this week's competition! Will you be available Saturday for a quick conversation with Brostep?
|
| Calc yep and it ruels
|
| Rowan5215 nah but in this case yours was way more indepth
|
| Rowan5215 unsure why my review got featured over yours tbh
|
| Rowan5215 all good man, left a few comments there hope it helps
|
| Rowan5215 sweet, if you chuck me edit access I'll leave a few comments wherever I see something
|
 | Jots it's a staff perk ; ]
|
| TVC15 It's a running gag that our $10,000 (give or take) tuition is spent on the ridiculous amount of fireworks when the homecoming king and queen are announced on the homecoming football game. Kinda makes sense too sonce my school hardly does stuff that would warrant spending a boatload of money. There was a new gym complex built last year but every penny spent on it was from donations from rich families and sponsors
|
| TVC15 Summer this year, I was taking PE to get all my credits done for it and every morning we'd meet in the classroom for health so that the coach could take role. Every single day we had bare with the absurd amount of dead cockroaches peppered around the class before going out to the gym. Can't remember why they weren't removed but something about the custodian hired for aummer school was lazy or just simply didn't want to do it
|
| TVC15 Hah, I'm just saying. My high school is old as hell and quite small due to it being surrounded by houses and such. The occasional cockroach infestation is no fun either
|
