 | xxm You?re welcome.
|
| xxm Nice soundoffs too.
|
| xxm Good review of the HIRS Collective. Really good.
|
 | hesperus also, i just read your review of the new HIRS album, which i thought was very solid, so i'm glad there are energized and talented reviewers who can rep queer hardcore like i used to. definitely keep it up!
|
| hesperus hey, i'm glad you've enjoyed my work. i talked about this a couple years ago in the last review i wrote, but long story short, i got to a point where i was struggling to write about music in a way that i felt was constructive and fair to the artists, and the process became more taxing than rewarding. so far that struggle hasn't stopped, so i don't see myself getting back into reviewing anytime soon, but i do still love music
|
 | Trifolium Hiihhhihih no, I don't really feel like applying. Would feel too much pressure to review at a steady pace and focus too much on new music whereas I love reviewing old stuff that deserves a thread, and prefer to do things nice and slow and whenever I feel like it. What about you?
|
 | MiloRuggles Will, this may be a testament to a misfiring memory on my end, but I recall you were writing something about sex and/or buildings at some point and the (perhaps) concept had me deeply intrigued
|
| MiloRuggles i been here for years! did that architecture**** writeup you were working on ever blossom into being? would love to read
|
 | Pangea hi gene, you got a song for us https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=202356 the theme is one hit wonder songs/artists/whatever
|
 | DadKungFu All for it, now that I think I?ve finally figured out Discord
|
 | SlothcoreSam Early Xmas present. These New South Whales - TNSW. It's Aussie post punk, super catchy and super fun.
|
| DadKungFu Amount's right but you may want to switch to oil if your batter is burning, butter burns a lot easier
|
| DadKungFu How much oil/butter you adding to your waffle mix?
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo, new one for you to check. The Cool Greenhouse- Sod's toast. It's out tomorrow. Cheeky post punk.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell she is the best https://open.spotify.com/track/5IH8Z7hE8gaFPqZ9eURRxw?si=7bbb47d724e64474
|
 | Minortimbo12 I give you a vote of your choice if you vote for mewithoutYou? (sput royale)
|
| SlothcoreSam Someone, jump on this, https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200857 feel like you will have a megasupergroup
|
| Pangea hi someone, do you have song for sotd? the theme is nature https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200646
|
 | robertsona Listen to Danielson - Ships (2006) if you haven?t. It?s kind of like the songwriting bona fides of that new Daniel Rossen record (?) but it sounds like Illinois by Sufjan Stevens and has him on it and the entirety of deerhoof and a bunch of other random people. EASY 4.5 for me, best new album in 2022
|
 | Sowing that makes an odd amount of sense, because lately our taste on a lot of things seems pretty far apart (daniel rossen notwithstanding!) - so if I view it as more of a middle ground for dedicated fans rather than his best outright, then you might see even more value in it!
|
| Sowing the republic of wolves and tigers on trains, particularly "his old branches" from the former and "grandfather" from the latter, are the best entry points for maggio's work if you're interested. souveneer is more of a halfway point between the projects, which I feel is better for familiar fans than for newcomers, but just my two cents! hope you enjoy whatever you check out.
|
 | parksungjoon woot polvo side project with amprim tag on rym?
|
 | neekafat for sure! I should just be neekafat on there
|
| neekafat not sure, I might have him on discord. and yeah that'd be dope!
|
 | Kompys2000 I've been known to both pod and cast ;P most of my work shifts don't start until after midnight your time, so whatever evening you want to go with should work as long as I've got a bit of notice!
|
| parksungjoon https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/mal-waldron-jimmy-jackson-eberhard-weber-fred-braceful/the-call/
|
 | Koris I just made it to the server :]
|
| MiloRuggles aw ye, damn right we do. v interesting concept i am intrigued and breathing heavily. let me know what to do in discordland when you're ready and i shall dance your dance
|
| MiloRuggles hey s*** woah yes! i'm not super conversant in the wily ways of discourse; do you send me a link to a chatroom or can i send you my profile or smth? also your link dun got censored!
|
| parksungjoon i discover music on the internet. ive put them on sput so feel free to rate review spread the word idk
|
| parksungjoon i hate how little info there is about these artists https://daytimers.bandcamp.com/album/big-dyke-energy-daytimers-celebrating-pride-for-the-community-by-the-community
|
 | Ryus that was really nice, i love the percussion. thx for the rec fam
|
 | Divaman This is true. Kind of disappointed to miss Newport, but my understanding is we'd be riding 25 ft. waves, and even the 8 ft. waves we were riding two nights ago were a bit much.
|
| Divaman Still on the cruise ship, someone. We were supposed to spend a day and a half in Charleston, South Carolina and then sail up to Newport, Rhode Island. But there's a storm up north, so we're spending an extra day in Charleston and then sailing directly back to New Jersey. We're not going to Newport like we were supposed to.
|
 | dedex k now I can say it: happy 2k soundoffs bro m/ m/ m/
|
| parksungjoon very tangential: jah wobble and steve hillage wrote and performed on this. orb's second album has a version thats trimmed to just under half the length of this mad 40m single -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ8nTbS9mOE
|
| parksungjoon https://youtu.be/7m2bjYl-SNA -- certainly dub on this at points
|
| parksungjoon i have been looking into some of the obscurarer stuff and adding it to the db lately ever since sharktooth reviewed that GAM album. i wish there were a bit more interest around here. there were a lot more collabs than people might think. czukay and liebezeit did an album with jah wobble
|
| parksungjoon heres something i found recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgLIB2Puwug
|
| parksungjoon i was shocked that no one had added that stuff to the db. wdyt of labeling Klopfzeichen proto-industrial?
|
| parksungjoon have you heard kluster? (pre-cluster, with schnitzler)
|
| parksungjoon weird german s***, and if so how weird are you into
|
| parksungjoon there is a discogs page for darama but it only has the inclusion on a va comp. but yeah good find cheers
|
| parksungjoon tbh ive been slacking on bass stuff of the last decade other than burialmeme
|
| parksungjoon its neat ty, i should revisit beats antique also...
|
| dedex alright I'll wish it to you again when you reach 2k ratings then! also thx for the rebate now imma be protected!
|
| dedex happy 2k soundoffs bro m/ m/ m/
|
| SlothcoreSam Got a good Aussie noise punk band with an awesome name for you to check, the album came out today. s*** Narnia-Cloudbelt
|
 | Pikazilla Thanks! I'll let you know how the listening sesh goes :3
|
| Pikazilla hello can I have a random post-punk rec pls
|
 | Bedex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDmZnG8KsM huge French classic track for reference
|
| Bedex good mum pop is a genre, for me it's mid career madonna
|
| Bedex adding her to my to jam list thanks to thee, havent jammed in ages
|
| Bedex mylene is a big m/ oomph
|
| xxm You are most welcome.
|
| xxm You?re welcome. I don?t really do too much writing here I?m afraid but you certainly piqued my interest and I made something of an exception on your shoutbox.
|
| xxm Hello there, I just want to say that I appreciate your sharp wit and analysis as well as your willingness to express your biases. I have many disagreements with you but you are a great writer and I love your pithy soundoffs. Take Care.
|
| MiloRuggles yoyoyo love your new review and you're a champ. let me know if you ever want something you write proofed ? i'm trying to build my skills doing so and would love to try and make your writing shine all the more brightly! peaceloveetceteraxxx
|
 | JesperL yee! https://korobu.bandcamp.com/releases
|
| JesperL hi hi the new korobu record might be something you vibe with (or maybe not but worth a shot!!)
|
 | theBoneyKing It does feel intentional, and just a bit silly I guess. They don't need to go full epic post-rock and I guess having shorter songs gives them some personality relative to other similar groups but it just doesn't feel like they're working to their strengths.
|
| theBoneyKing They have a solid sound and very cool influences but clearly havent got the songwriting side of things down yet, a lot of the songs take too many weird turns too quickly to build up effective tension and release. My favorite is the closing track because that one actually goes for a specific vibe and sticks with it for more than 60 seconds, lol.
|
| theBoneyKing Your Poorly Drawn House soundoff is quite accurate lol. That said its a very listenable little album because its so short.
|
 | Minushuman24 Oh that is super understandable. The last half of the album definitely wasn't as good as the first half, at least on first listen. Definitely always down to talk about that stuff!
|
| Minushuman24 The vocals are kinda off and I actually find it quite pleasant
|
| Minushuman24 Yeah, I'm working their show tomorrow night so I wanted to get acquainted. I really like it so far! Totally up my alley
|
| SlothcoreSam Also there is a new Springtime EP to checkout with 3 longass songs
|
| SlothcoreSam I think you will dig, it's pretty zany stuff. Apparently they are awesome live!
|
| SlothcoreSam You should check the new album by Slow Knife - Too Late For The Past. It's experimental, jazz fusion, spoken word, zappa influenced cabaret post punk.
|
 | Jethro42 Oops, I wrote it in my shoutbox. Here is my answer; Because he never replied to my questions in our shoutbox or in threads. No collaborations. Maybe he had his reason of not participating, but why he's taken an entry then...No traces of him... Never. I hope he's still alive.
|
| Jethro42 Given we already entered into the tourney, I only see a solution; It's that you take the entry of the 20th spot, without changing it. You could listen to it to see if it's a good idea. Btw I know you can be mad, I would be too. I promised you a spot, and cancelled it practically the same day.
|
| Jethro42 Match ups were already done, and they cannot really move. What I was looking for was a new guy to replace the one I kicked out, but not really another album. Everything fix together well, and I prefer to keep it that way. And again, I'm really sorry, someone.
|
| Jethro42 Sorry someone, your entry can't go with none. I prefer to go with the album of the person I kicked out. i intend to do a new tourney each 6 months. See you next. You can comment and vote of course.
|
 | bgillesp Checked it the other day. Was a little monotone for me, but certainly interesting enough that I hope they develop that style even more
|
| bgillesp Just putting this out there, if you ever run into any good new jazz stuff like Ill Considered again, give me a shout to check it out. I'd been a fan of them for a few years but didn't know they put out a new one last year until today when it blew me away as their best release yet.

|
| Trifolium In the end Ars didn't want December, can you give us our new home someone? For the Casual Conversation?
|

|

|
| parksungjoon https://51peg.bandcamp.com/album/strange-appointments
|
| SlothcoreSam I could listen to that first track on the new Arthhur album all day, it just keeps on going and going.
|
| SlothcoreSam How good is that Horsey album? Wonder why more people aren't getting into it.
|
| SlothcoreSam Someone might like the new Pist Idiots album, Idiocy. It's Aussie pub/garage punk /post punk.
|
 | Shattered_Future Yeah we're both reformed goths (her much more so than I am), so keeping the corniness to a minimum was a high priority. Glad you liked it though!
|
| Shattered_Future Aw hey, thanks for reviewing the Beldame record! It's nice to see folks reviewing our weird little quarantine baby.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell the two good songs on cola are peak 21.2nd century dreamgaze how dare. jam Alison's Halo with me.
|
| parksungjoon https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMvi8JeJ9-47LG3w5LKZTNbarixqlB5WH
|
 | Friday13th Do you have a vote for the prog seifinals?
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo, I think you'll dig the new Amyl and the Sniffers album that's out tomorrow!
|
| parksungjoon actually one of my fav metal finds of last year haha, weird bands just get me
|
| Bedex phaeleh good man u are
|
 | haesslichermensch thanks for the reply. i am not sure. should the album better bed then?
|
| haesslichermensch i added a new beach boys album but i have trouble getting the correct title to display or the track list evened out. can you check that? id the track list but it wont refresh .. the title seems also too long https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=404925
|
 | Egarran now we just need a somewhere
|
| JohnnyoftheWell "this bizarre problem" - lol that was me for a long while, but they're kinda like Boris in that you get compound interest on each album for every other album you've heard. Took ages for me to realised I kinda loved that band, but there's more to them than that cool eyed artistry. maybe.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell i know my crowd and will shield the ratings of Seiko co. as far possible ;] glad you dug it - some parts dragged a little for me, but i feel they have something special and will q possibly make a knockout album at some point
|
| SlothcoreSam It's your 1000th rating present. And it's more a modern day experimental afrobeat.
|
| SlothcoreSam https://nyegenyegetapes.bandcamp.com/album/Na-Zala-Zala . Payback, see what YOU think of this
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo, Burning Steps ain't bad, but too poppy for me. If you know any good Czech punk bands that aren't pop punk, let me know
|
 | aok oh yeah. discovered Madeon that way too, opening for Porter at the tim
|
| aok you ever see porter robinson live? he's awesome
|
| JohnnyoftheWell high as a kite and off the wire, crickey boi you keep those nerves alive!! i have given up on music and am open to recs once more please advise (dissociated study jams especially welcome, especially if catatonic)
|
| parksungjoon yea people seem to like it. if they find it useful then it was worth the effort :]
|
| parksungjoon https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=196835
|
| aok Knödel ist sehr lecker
|
 | you?d be lucky
|
 | anat see to it that you do I expect you to fully commit to this pedantry
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Your ~Random album is Al Di Meola - Land Of the Midnight Sun! You have until June 28th to submit a review, hit up the thread with any questions. We strongly recommend you your AdBlock in advance of this enterprise. Good luck! :]:]
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey, glad you enjoyed the Sidekicks album. For your next piece of homework you should check out A Gazillion Angry Mexicans - stonerpopdoompunk. It's different but fun
|
| Divaman I'll bet if you could find yourself one more entrant for the prog contest, Friday might let you both in.
|
 | SandwichBubble Would you feel better if I told you it was closer to a 2.0 than a 1.0?
|
 | GhandhiLion I'm not very eloquent but I'll give it a go sometime.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Hmu with a gdrive link wherever! Here is good or discord if you like!
|
| Pheromone Hi dude sorry just saw this !! it's all yours baby - i am surprised you hold so many opinions about it, you're an enigma (of which I thought I had cracked into the knowledge of) - I don't really have much to say about it in hindsight. New review up though!!!
|
 | porcupinetheater Aah oops forgot to respond, ain't been on Sput as much theez dayz. Stoked you're digging Major Parkinson! Spent several years jamming them the Hell out thinking it would grow off, have had to accept that they're just great
|
| GhandhiLion The jazz threads are nice to lurk because nobody posts in them | discord has a really useful search bar actually.
|
| GhandhiLion well I don't go on the discord much, and it's also much easier to read than sput :p
|
| GhandhiLion I'm not sure about prog rock, but it's a really cool album. It deserves more attention for sure.
|
| GhandhiLion It's cool that it's kind of blown up now. The credits on that album are crazy.
|
| GhandhiLion I found it a while ago when reading up on Frisell.
|
| parksungjoon lmao is that youtube's new flavour of the months 70s jazz fusion
|
| SlothcoreSam Royal Headache are great, and under-appreciated here. Have you ever checked, The Peep Tempel - Tales? It's Australian garage punk/post punk, and a lot of fun
|
| neekafat Not off the top of my head but I'll let ya know! Thanks dude!!
|
| neekafat Aw man, yeah I'm still really swamped :/ You can go ahead!!
|
 | Get Low I tried taking the link you posted in Sandwichbubble's shoutbox to the Discord server, but the link is expired :(
|
| JohnnyoftheWell gotta be sure you're doing the right thing https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=195749
|
| MiloRuggles yoyoyo onesome. 'preciate it, but discord ain't my jamz. here's an unasked for rec for your troubles: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=375914
|
 | normaloctagon super cool bandcamp page, i think you'll appreciate this one https://doomedandstoned.bandcamp.com/album/doomed-stoned-in-russia-volume-1
|
 | AsleepInTheBack well thank you bud i will try and stop by. been a long time since ive been on le discord.
|
| neekafat sorry I've been a very busy boy but will try to throw some recs your way soon!
|
| SandwichBubble Don't know what that is, sorry. But thanks for thinking of me(?)
|
| Pheromone sounds good dude, despite being a london band ive never checked
|
| Pheromone hello sorry my life has been a bit wild and my wi-fi isn't working so gonna raincheck, new wi-fi box is meant to come in two days and hopefully s*** then works. give me one of those there albums to listen to NOW
|
| Pheromone sure! ill message you tomorrow or monday over discord and we can chat some more boo
|
| Pheromone yeah fusions is a sick idea, excited for this
|
| Pheromone to be honest, compared to what we were talking about before - we could just talk about the berlin era of albums (eno, bowie, iggy). would make for interesting conversation probably
|
| Pheromone https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Kamber/post_punk_albums/2/ made this list about 7 (or so) years ago if there's anything there? i reckon we talk for 10 hours about how iggy pop made the two best albums of the berlin era because i am very passionate about this cause
|
| Pheromone another one i really wanna get to eventually is psychic tv and swell maps. the latter is a shorten
|
| Pheromone out of all of them Einsturzende Neubauten is the one i am completely unfamiliar with any work by - plus i have always loved the artwork for kollaps so it gives me a good excuse to check it. that's my pick, wbu
