 | aok If we went to Bootleg Bar with John and Joan Cusack Kevin Nealon Stephen Tobolowsky, that's a Big Win
|
 | Ryus 2019 bangers: acemo - where they at (ABSOLUTE MUST), floating points - lesalpx, dj n*gga fox - talanzele, paula temple - raging earth, acemoma - ethereal stepping
|
| Ryus very cool i like what you have done with it, sounds like it could be part of a wizard/a true star
|
 | DadKungFu Any suggestions to deal with the disrespect towards the special ed students from other students? They're all capable of standing up for themselves but it definitely makes them more reluctant to be in my class
|
| Ryus u as well m8. looks cool will check
|
 | Sabrutin hey man, just randomly remembered your comment on the Zombies thread asking for another song where the key changes down. Would Queensryche's Lady Jane apply? The transition around 2:35 I mean, when it gets sadder. I think you may dig that in general anyway
|
| Ryus that one is nice, not the biggest fan of zappa but very cool early punky psych energy
|
 | aaronrkc I was unaware but am not surprised by this factoid.
|
 | unclereich also 3.5ing remain in light is very lame
|
| unclereich wanted to drop by and say I cant get in to my og discord account and had to make a new one. sorry it seemed as though I ghosted your game. if you'd like my new account name just holler
|
 | parksungjoon when i recommend something to someone in particular as opposed to just making a list of random s*** and screaming into the void, i feel like i do always take into account what they are generally into. a lot of the time the very decision stems from knowing that X is into Y
|
| parksungjoon sliiightly topical since im half considering reviewing inventions for electric guitar since gottsching passed recently
|
| parksungjoon oh im well aware of many of the ways im an outlier lol. the mini historian thing is interesting cuz ive generally done that and felt that either ppl dont really care about that stuff or maybe they find it interesting to read about but it doesnt change whether theyll check or not
|
| parksungjoon yea i know thats how 99% of ppl see things. honestly tho if havey unironically said check X id make a note of that whether hes ever reciprocated or not
|
| parksungjoon the reciprocity can be tough on two levels for me, one being that what i look for in music tends to diverge more and more over time from what most users look for in music even assuming we're vaguely into similar things, two being that in the periods when im really into music, i tend to already expend a lot of the alotted energy on my own discovery journey including reading about s*** and noting connections so i dont have a lot left to bridge with others
|
| parksungjoon do u want a no mask piece of lore or would that ruin the cave paintings for you
|
| parksungjoon i think the reputation was/is prob fine. terse/minimal lists used to be all the rage maybe that has changed?
|
| parksungjoon i think i try tailoring most of the time. the point about links is interesting but may be slightly less possible when the thing is so obscure that only a full record is uploaded. the social stuff seems kinda doomed for me lol ngl. thanks a bunch
|
| parksungjoon comments box https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/foster-sylvers-the-sylvers/misdemeanor-so-close/ . i added the lp
|
| parksungjoon gossamer15 Aug 2021 21:29 GMTthis is proto-hyperpop reportst9n07 Apr 2022 01:02 GMTthis is like a waka flocka flame mixtape reportchemical_think_tank20 Nov 2022 23:18 GMThttps://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2002/10/foster-sylvers-misdemeanor/
|
| parksungjoon you are now legally obligated to rate the sylvers
|
 | fogza Hey sona, have you ever listened to Sparks - Kimono my house? I'm not sure if you would hate it but something about the energy seems like a possible match
|
 | Colton nice nice i?m gonna check out the whole thing soon
|
 | Winesburgohio new 12 Rods! (i haven't listened to it yet so can neither confirm nor deny anything but hopefully this shout will function as a reminder to self)
|
 | SandwichBubble Hope their next single/EP/album captures that live energy better than their debut. Could see them releasing an AOTY contender someday.
|
| DadKungFu I liked the train/beach scene opening in your script, it sets up the dynamic of the characters well and I'm sorry it was cut.
|
| Ryus lmao this is wild id never heard of this before
|
| Ryus a ripper of the highest order for sure. brilliant tune
|
 | MiloRuggles heyhey fren! are you still planning on reviewing SCARING THE HOES?? happy to jump in if you want a second opinion on anything, i swear i have some original thoughts buried in me somewhere
|
 | DoofDoof only just getting into them thanks to Ars pushing them here....but really interesting sound they are going for, will play both albums a lot the next few weeks and see where I end up
|
| Ryus lol im being slightly dramatic, just may need some acl/meniscus knee surgery. those fcking things need at least 10,000 more years of evolution i swear. i appreciate the concern
|
| Ryus thx homie i may be bedridden soon in which case i will have plenty of time to read it! i may also not. but i will get to it i assure you
|
| Ryus send it this way my man
|
| Ryus hey sona, nah i dont really. nothing personal just not rly my thing
|
 | Sowing Please shoutbox me with an email address to associate you with our new forum. I'll remove the shout from my profile once I've emailed you the link to access it. Thanks in advance!
|
| Colton damn that?s a good compliment
|
 | Bedex can't wait to be the second rating on it- oh wait no wow good job promoting it
|
| DoofDoof The Goodfight will be in rotation a while, enjoy it, definitely a few curveballs in the tracklist (very varied vocal approaches) so I havent got a total hold of it yet - usually a good thing anyway. Will get to your review at some point...and the other rec ;) Just sort of getting back into things after time off work over the holidays but I will pick up the pace.
|
| DoofDoof The Goodfight has something going on, a bit hypnagogic yeah, need to give it a few more goes but it is definitely v good
|
| Colton check this https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=318387 gonna review it soon it's so good
|
| Colton miss ya too Gwill check that new Goodfight, think I remember liking what I heard from them
|
 | Demon of the Fall pls feature Doof's end of year list if you can, incredible level of detail...https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?mode=1
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene Hey! Uh, could you drop a Google doc in the staff forums? Or I can drop my email there if that's easier?
|
| Colton per song yeah, she throws out a lot of ideas and really keeps it moving
|
| Colton I did listen to saya gray! I thought it was an interesting and diverse album, appreciated its brevity
|
 | Jom I feel despondent that you don't know where I stand ideologically on this Giving Tuesday, but alas, no band is immune to "uni0n" troubles: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Blessid-of-Souls/65177/
|
| Bedex https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=442231 small talent rec for thee
|
 | SlothcoreSam Hey RoSo, jump on this, https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200857 feel like you can make a stunning Supergroup.
|
 | Koris You should change your name to Reviewmachine now ;]
|
| Colton lol yeah that metaphor is pretty accurate. definitely gotta listen to it some more. what are your favourite tracks
|
| Colton this album is really interesting? it?s lively and jubilant but in a slightly ?off? kind of way. interesting combination of energies
|
| Colton need some divisive indie pop in my life anyways
|
| Colton fam I need the band name too
|
 | Gyromania Is that an album? Just wanna make sure I check out the right thing lol
|
 | someone Heard of them, haven't heard them. Thanks aplenty
|
 | Orb I quoted you in a jazz review ;]https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/85013/Ike-Quebec-Easy-Living/
|
| Sowing Thanks for the rec, I'm listening now and it's very pleasant. Love that artwork so much.
|
| DoofDoof ha, wish I could but unfortunately so busy right now
|
 | IsildursBane44 Hey Robertsona! I know you really like a bunch of folk and more acoustic styled music, and I was wondering if you'd check out my EP I just put out. It's under the name Bateman Bridge, and the EP is 5 songs and only about 10 minutes long. I put it in the database, but for some reason I can't get the album cover to go through correctly.
|
 | deathofasalesman Yo that brought a huge grin on my face, thanks for doing that. Couldn't have done it alone!
|
 | DavidYowi Alright you should have permission, should I send the link again just in case?
|
| DavidYowi I finished my LP! paragraph/contribution. Do you want me to send it to the email u posted in the Cornballs forum?
|
| Gyromania Yo I'm gonna check those out today or tomorrow, been a bit busy playing Elden Ring lately haha. Hope you're doing well
|
 | tyman128 oh hell yeah! I?ll check those videos out tonight, that?s so hype
|
| Ryus ill be moving there in a few months so not around as of yet but have fun eat some chowder for me
|
| Gyromania You check out those new moon kissed songs?
|
 | MyShadow thanks very much mate! much appreciated
|
| Ryus im not gonna be around homie :[ gonna be away at school unfortunately, that sounds like a good time
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell hi hey i'm off discord and "at" "work" rn butbutbut were you still hot to cover magic number 28? might have got the wrong end of this but i skimmed thru the server and got the vibe you were feeling bleached - here if you need backup xx
|
| parksungjoon https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=197789
|
 | CottonSalad This doesn't get you out of reviewing the new JPEG record...
|
| Gyromania Listening now. What are your thoughts on it?
|
| Ryus unfortunately life got in the way and i actually ended up not being able to go :[
|
 | jimthefish check out the new Self Insert EP "philias". its pretty lowkey but does some crazy stuff with experimental hiphop and electronic. heres the first song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIlkN-iFb0
|
 | tectactoe Damn buggy shoutbox syntax error. My original post said Playboi Carti (greater than sign) Slint, but apparently Sput sees greater/less than signs and removes everything thereafter ????
|
| DoofDoof Liking the Geese tunes, they remind me a little bit of Ought, hyped for a full album
|
 | Atari I know haha, was going to reply to you in that thread initially. Cheers!
|
| Atari where'd your comment go lol.. I'll check that project Phoebe was in ;)
|
| SandwichBubble A proper live album of their stuff would definitely do those songs some good. Your recording(s) definitely had more energy to them. Nothing bad on it, just a few songs I didn't dig as much as the singles.
|
| SandwichBubble Coool. I dug the first half of the link. Hope their debut is good. | I hate to be a disappointment, but new Gustaf was just okay to me. Sorry I failed you. Still some good songs on it though (first two tracks, cruel, package).
|
| SandwichBubble No problem. Gustaf debut out today, will check later tonight.
|
| DoofDoof gave the singles an initial listen yesterday, liked the third one best but will return to check them later today and say what I think - will definitely head to the album when that drops
|
| Sowing that's awesome, still love New Years Party so will be excited to see if the new one lives up
|
| SandwichBubble Definitely better than the other released songs. Hoping the album has some stronger songs.
|
 | Divaman Hey robertsona, you're gonna want to get in on the June SOTD list. noler is looking for songs by local artists: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=196495
|
 | mynameischan i emailed you andd your shout so you don't get a bunch of weird spam
|
| mynameischan Yes Id Facebook like four years ago. But I have a friend who lives in Philadelphia and only live a few hours away. Also, I really love Decibel.
|
| Gyromania great to hear from you man. wish i could attend that show - i really ended up enjoying feel good about feeling bad, a lot. starting a new job tomorrow so my life is about to become rly boring lol. how are you these days?
|
| Ryus solid as hell! love the dense, thicc sound. shes talented for sure, good looks
|
 | porcupinetheater Yo Love at the Five and Dime on the Nanci Griffith record is incredible, thanks for bopping on the discord!
|
| Gyromania yeah that was a good time. thanks again for the invite! kind of a strange way for them to end the stream, i was kind of hoping it just froze and they'd come back for another song or 2, but still, very solid tracks and a great performance
|
| Gyromania maybe they're gearing up to release a new album/ep or something. that would be dope. i've played i met my band... to absolute death since i first heard it
|
 | JohnnyoftheSmell bRO are you a member of the proletarian movement or am i allowed to sell your family members heavily cut H...??
|
| aok Yoyo! Let's chill sometime. Maybe a joint at Maria Hernandez Park's in order. Take care man.
|
| Gyromania lmao! yeah he prob is. i just downloaded "i met my band..." recently, gotta give it some attention soon since i haven't heard it in its entirety
|
| Gyromania lmao that's a feelsbadman. you gonna review some of their stuff soon?
|
 | neekafat i probably wont be able to watch but will make a point to listen to their stuff asap (:
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Ei dude! Wondering if you could feat my 2020s list. Hug
|
 | Drifter Dude that R. Kelly Untitled 4.3...... I love you
|
| Gyromania Cheers brother, you too. And I've got a laundry list of problems that have been compounding for years. Severe gerd, really bad hypertension, eosinophilic esophagitis, sinus tachycardia, hiatal hernia. Lots of fun stuff lmao. I just hope I don't get c19, would be really bad for me
|
| Gyromania Love the guitar in that track. Played it a few times this morning. You priming to review something of theirs? And I'm doing okay, health's been on the decline tho. Hope ur doing well
|
 | ArsMoriendi The casual convo discord: https://discord.gg/2WGHTN9x (adminned by Trifolium)
|
| Gyromania Agreed, livestreams are cool for timed exclusive content sometimes. I didn't intially plan on it but I did end up checking out the entire setlist. Loved it! Strange satisfaction, muscle memory, money mouth and bender are easily my favourites. They kind of remind me (a bit) of a couple tracks from braids. You ever listen to them?
|
| Sowing Oh nice. Not in a position to listen right now (rocking baby to sleep lol) but def will within a few days. Hope it lives up to the stuff from their debut because that rocked.
|
 | iglu sorry you asked me about Memories of Muder but haven't been here in a while so I'll answer you here. Loved it! way more than Parasite, Song Kang?ho is a riot.
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts Hey man, i know we are in a pandemic and money is tight for everyone but I put together a gofundme for minushuman. I dont know if you saw his list but he suffered a pretty brutal loss this weekend and I thought maybe we could all chip in a few bucks and help him out with groceries or rent or whatever this month while he works through this tough time. If you can donate a few bucks and share this with some other users to help spread the word that would be awesome: https://gf.me/u/y743c5
|
 | MillionDead Finally checking that Jace album. Wouldn't call the writing elementary at all! The production is obviously lofi, but it has its charm. Some great satire in this too. And legitimately great riffs. I think the vocals might be weak in certain spots, but not in a ruin the song kinda way.
|
 | Yotimi Possession was bonkers. Loved it
|
| Sowing awesome, I'll be waiting :-)
|
| Sowing it's indie-pop done right. tons of energy and personality, nothing feels phoned in. one of the better recs I've gotten on this site lately so much appreciated.
|
| Sowing very beautiful, but not quite as adventurous as moon kissed which is easily my preference out of the two recs. seriously can't get enough of that LP/mini album of theirs.
|
| Sowing lots of R and B influence too which is a nice perk (stupid shoutbox won't allow the ampersand)
|
| Sowing their live performances are somehow better than the FLAC file I downloaded which says a lot. they have great chemistry. drama queens is insanely captivating, prob my fave after 1 listen.
|
| Sowing There's times they're reminiscent of other pop artists I like (I heard everything from Lorde to No Doubt, although absolutely more indie-ish and electronic than either). The vocalist is very unique and I like her style even if it can be a tad pitchy at times. I already downloaded "I Met My Band At A New Years Party" and listened to the whole thing. I'd love to get a review up for it if I find the time. Do you know the band personally?
|
| Sowing That was blissful and I will be following up on their bandcamp page. Thank you!
|
 | anat Thx for indulging, it's not my usual fare so that probably factors in to why I'm so taken with it
|
| anat I forgot to nudge you re my rec so now I?m gonna be extra embarrassed if you don?t rate it
|
| anat Let's get a rec rally going, see how you fare with the self-titled Girlhood LP out today friend
|
| MillionDead Dear god, I hate the cover! lmao But I'll definitely check it out and get back to you with my thoughts.
|
| SandwichBubble Searched for it, but couldn't find a link or anything. Only the facebook announcement. | As an aside, Trans-pecos looks like an awesome venue looking at the photos on google maps.
|
| anat Just catching up on the stream now - I absoLUTELAAY thoroughly enjoyed
|
| parksungjoon is my most recent review good? is there anything i could do better next time
|
| anat TY for the rec, I will get on it forthwith. The stream will be too late for me but I'll try and watch it back on Saturday
|
 | Storm In A Teacup were you trolling me in the miami heat thread or did you not see my responses
|
| SandwichBubble I downloaded it and plan on checking it soon, I liked the snippet I heard. Also added it to the site if you wanted to rate it: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Pure-Adult/130959/
|
| SandwichBubble Does idles piss people off? I'm really out of the loop. | I've got work on thurs/friday unfortunately, so I'll probably be asleep by the time it's on. Really wish all these shows would just upload it somewhere afterwards, but gotta make $$$ I get it. | Is it this Pure Adult you're talking about: https://pureadult.bandcamp.com/
|
| SandwichBubble Song rules, love indie pop with some energy. Skipped around the rest of the tracklist a bit and it seems like Lucy's the standout track. Just assuming though. | Here's a rec for you, if you haven't already checked it: Warm Bodies - Warm Bodies | https://erstetheketontraeger.bandcamp.com/album/ett-057-warm-bodies-s-t-lp
|
| SandwichBubble Yeah, saw the palberta announcement. Though, the way it's being described on bandcamp worries me a bit. It'll probably still be good. | Hope you're right about Gustaf.
|
| SandwichBubble Site crashed before I could respond, but I'll definitely check it out if I'm not busy. Thanks!
|
| SlothcoreSam You should check out Hello Forever- Whatever It Is.One of the better releases this year
|
| SandwichBubble Checked one of the Don Mount vids, not bad. Might check the solo stuff she has on bandcamp.
|
| SandwichBubble Good ol' sputnik. | Album has really great bookends. Bingo Bodies is a 5/5 track for me.
|
| SandwichBubble No, this one: https://rateyourmusic.com/release/ep/godcaster/godcaster-demo/ | They d3leted it off their bandcamp apparently.
|
| SandwichBubble Finally checked Godcaster (I was trying to find their demo before checking the new one). Album is quality. Thanks for the reminder.
|
| SandwichBubble Totally forgot to check it. I'll get on it later today.
|
| SandwichBubble Definitely, that drumming is super good. Looking at their bandcamp, they've got a ton of stuff out. That's what I get for not paying attention to band members.
|
| SandwichBubble Sharkmuffin is actually on my check list already! Had no idea there was any connection between them and Gustaf. Guess I have to put them at the top of my list now.
|
 | Voivod All the album I like, I list them in my annual massive set of lists for future reference. As for Godcaster, I really like how tight and adventurous the band sounds, a breath of fresh air in progressive rock.
|
| Voivod Well, the process is basically "trial and error". I check blogs and if i like an album cover in conjunction that belongs genre I'm interested in (all rock/metal genres (save for the majority of indie pop/rock and AOR) plus limited non-metal stuff), I check the album out (even better if it's in bandcamp), and after a couple of listens I almost know if I want to listen again or not.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell hahaha that cable moment was blissful, love how it gave the bassist the spotlight at the best possible moment. this sounds p cool, will give their alb a spin when it drops for sure - cheers!!
|
| SandwichBubble That version's good, thanks for the link. | Haven't heard of Godcaster before but I love this. Will definitely be checking their stuff.
|
| SandwichBubble This one (I was close): https://soundcloud.com/fistpumpboatdad/g-bar-1720#t=14:35
|
| SandwichBubble I think my favorite song on that one is towards the middle (14-15 minutes?). Total classic.
|
| Atari I'll check it out and report back - cheers!!
|
| Gyromania Thanks for the recs dude. Will check em out soon and let you know what I think
|
| SandwichBubble "I just have no one to talk about this band with" Hey man, if you hadn't mentioned them to me I wouldn't've even known they existed (until they released something probably), so I'm happy to chat. Your hype is my hype.
|
| SandwichBubble I was planning on chopping the full Gustaf clip(s) up into tracks, but never got around to it. A long audacity session may be in my future.
|
| SandwichBubble I haven't seen that vid, that's crazy! good job alex [2] for sure
|
| SandwichBubble Checking their bandcamp right now, and they've got an (honestly pretty cool-looking) 5-member band pic up: https://gustaf-nyc.bandcamp.com/ | You know who's who in it (like which drummer)?
|
| SandwichBubble Re:drummer Didn't know they were having trouble picking a drummer, hope they settle that.
|
| SandwichBubble Yeah, it's natural for them to move on from the "4-track-in-a-broom-closet" stuff, but a selfish part of me wishes they never did. I get what you mean by the early stuff sounding thin, but like you said, those ones definitely hit that crazy live show sound well. I think they pulled off the move to studio pretty well on this new single too though, I'm conflicted. | I'll hold out hope for a Gustaf release then too, we can be disappointed/excited together.
|
| SandwichBubble 2 palberta fans of sputnikmusic.com newsletter. Appreciate it, had no idea they released something. | Little wary of the more polished sound in the studio (if you could call it that), but the song's pretty good. | Also still hoping that Gustaf band to releases something soon, I'm antsy.
|
| MillionDead That was a really solid set. The recording didn't sound bad at all either, or at least nothing felt lost.
|
| MillionDead I'm about 14 mins into the recording and she drums with a lot of power and punk rock swagger. Great s***. I'm into this sound too, on the whole. It feels very post-punk to me.
|
 | luci i don't quite have a feel for what you like but check the new shinichi atobe
|
| Atari Bad Moves are so addicting
|
| SandwichBubble Yes I did! (the first half at least) Seriously great stuff. Thank you for recording it, cause now I'm on the prowl for that new album. | "i'll host you" that's awesome of you, thank you. But I have family in new york (long island) that I could crash with if I decided to head out there again. Born n' raised Ny-er right here (: | Stay safe out there, man.
|
| SandwichBubble And drumming is really good on this first one, for sure. Resisting the urge to add this to here and RYM as a bootleg or something. | "nothing is guaranteed in these times" sucks, but yeah I'll curb my expectations. | "gustaf probably doesnt know i recorded them so dont add it" got you.
|
| SandwichBubble Will check that other show too, thank you. | "theyre releasing something this year promise (so is palberta, promise)" I'm holding you to this, fingers crossed. 2020's been good for art-y punk in general, good (bad) times.
|
| SandwichBubble Gustaf live recording is awesome, thanks for this. Kind of wish they released something, even if it is something like a memo recording.
|
