 | bungy seeing you in my shoutbox just now gave me the biggest grin. I hope you're doing great.
|
 | Pikazilla Sorry to hear about your grandfather : (
|
 | kingsoby1 yus, one of the best trap records i've heard
|
| kingsoby1 looks like no cross publishing :( but here ya go http://www.byvolume.co.uk/kanye-west-yeezus/
|
| kingsoby1 haha - i posted my review at byvolume, but i may cross post, since it's been over a week, and it wont be featured anyway
|
 | robin large tuna. have you seen my cellular device.
|
| bungy yeah but the spacecraft is also a wifi hotspot so nbd
|
| robin big tuna is a super ambitious guy.
|
| robin two tunas hanging out? :(
|
 | esther Hey man I noticed you like some of the same bands I do. I wrote and recorded an EP and I was wondering if you could review, rate, or even just listen to it. Here's a link: facebook.com/esther801music
|
| bungy Nice. I have no clue. Finishing grad school could take 6 or more years I don't even know what I want to do.
|
| bungy Congratulations. Yeah the average Sputnik user doesn't understand that stuff at all. You're going to be a minister or something?
|
| bungy My dude! You're marrying that same lovely lady you were with a year or two ago? That's so rad. What's after graduation? I'm great, just been ****ing around I still have quite a bit of school left
|
| bungy Tuna! Tell me how's life treating you?
|
| bungy Yeah I deactivated it. I have another one with no friends I use for bands
|
| bungy I mees you handsome
|
| robin what the tuna is up
|
 | SeaAnemone oh it wasn't fun at a lot of points haha and we missed each other obviously, but we managed very well... gave us each a little time to be more independent anyway :) but yeah, the 6 hour time difference took some getting used to.
|
| SeaAnemone she got back tonight actually :) very excited. I picked her up at the airport and spent the night with her... only reason I'm on sputnik now haha is cause she hadn't slept since wednesday so went to bed very early.
|
| SeaAnemone not quite, finals start next week, but I'm actually in fantastic academic shape at the moment so I hope that continues! Yourself?
|
| SeaAnemone hey brad :) just added you on last fm so we can now be friends on many levels haha
|
 | aok dig the avatar on this level http://bit.ly/iEfOM2 and on this level http://bit.ly/lh22XA . and they're both such good levels =)
|
| bungy dude did you see JD do his thang?
|
 | mallen- Never Quite Free is like the greatest thing ever
|
 | Trebor. Are you named after Jim Halpert?
|
| mallen- any favorites on the new mountain goats?
|
| SeaAnemone I really did, thanks! It was subdued a little by my girlfriend getting scarily sick for a few days, but other than that (she's fine now, thankfully) the trip was absolutely sublime. Feel free to stalk my facebook pics to even up me stalking your travels through Egypt etc. haha
|
| mallen- amazing. Didn't think I would be more excited for the album after the single, but I am now
|
 | balcaen it appears we are the only ones who find that the new scale the summit is nothing special. we gotta stick together before they come after us with torches.
|
| mallen- if you would kindly direct your attention to my 5 ratings, you will see some definitive indie
|
 | Maniac! The new Mountain Goats rules.
|
| bungy YES. It confirmed my suspicion that JD is the coolest person in the world. A lot of sunset tree, pretty sure I had a stupid grin on my face the whole time.
|
| SeaAnemone also, I was instantly jealous when i saw you devoted a list to somebody that wasn't me but then I saw it was to bungy and I went phew, I approve. take it easy mr. tuna :)
|
| SeaAnemone in an especially comfy, pillow-laden chair watching How I met Your Mother. but really, my tuna friend, I decided to take a break from posting for a little... concentrating more on schoolwork, applying for an internship, etc. upon etc. I'm still lurking here or there but I find I visit far far less if i don't post. Yeah I decided not to post for like a month or so besides shoutboxes (apparently) so maybe mid-march I'll be back with lists n reviews or something or maybe not idk.
|
 | Knott- you know the soundoff some guy just posted about how Little Lion Man is one of the saddest things he's ever heard and anyone with any interest in folk music should listen to Sigh No More? yeah that's why i hate sigh no more
|
| bungy Wikipedia is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject. So you know you are getting the best possible information.
|
 | Inveigh nice that's definitely on my list for this week now
|
| Inveigh I've heard Sadistik on a lot of other people's songs, but never listened to an album of his before. I'll check it out, thanks dude
|
| Inveigh I'd say it's closer to Gigantics (obviously without all the guests) than DTS. Also new Sims is good, almost as good as (if not maybe a little better than) Lights Out Paris imo
|
| Inveigh I liked the single, but it's nowhere near the best song on the album. for Onry, the beats are completely different, since he did the production (i think) rather than Zavala. it's a bit less indie or alt rap too, more just underground hip hop as far as flow and aesthetic go too, you'll like it man, trust me
|
 | Satellite had no idea mw/oy was playing. thanks for the link dude, checking that out right now.
|
| Satellite not really sure if ltj would jive with you tbh, but they were one of my favorite bands back in the day and they always rule live. i'd suggest starting with hello rockview.
|
| Satellite 1) yeah, actually i saw less than jake in your neck of the woods (the intersection) the other night. 2) hell yes, i'm definitely going to the mbd/fake problems show. you gonna be there?
|
 | somberlain haha! I rated it first so I'd remember to listen to it! but the 4 stays, 'Kings' is really good
|
 | Yotimi No prob. Don't see that you rated any Boards of Canada, which I would consider essential listening (Geogaddi and MHTRTC). Also, M83 - Dead Cities. Listen to "Gone", it'll blow your mind. For something kinda like Trentemoller, Secede - Tryshasla.
|
| Yotimi Good to see you enjoyed that Chris Clark album. Don't believe the review here about Totems Flare - that album is awesome too.
|
| robin sounds pretty similar here. trying to expand thee vinyl collection. we're like the same person!
|
| robin god damn tunas. whats up? :)
|
| SeaAnemone First, thank you! I did see that and I'll get on that! Second, don't tell anyone, buuuuuut: http://plixid.com/2011/01/22/spokes-everyone-i-ever-met-2011-mp3/ Third, haha thanks you're the best large tuna!
|
| bungy No prob. If you have anything else, particularly anything concerning hammerhead sharks, don't hesitate.
|
 | sublimefan1991 you give encore a 3 and the marshall mathers lp a 2.5 - were you dropped as a child?
|
| bungy hrrrm...Built to Spill -Perfect From Now On/Keep it Like a Secret/There's Nothing Wrong with Love, Heatmiser - Mic City Sons, Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West, Silver Jews - American Water, The Wrens - Secaucus
|
| bungy yes 1000 ratings, glad I didn't spend those thousands of hours building personal relationships or doing other social things
|
| robin big tuna vs piano tuna. clash of the titans.
|
 | Adash PS. 'Beasty tunes' is my own opinion, not part of the URL
|
| Adash http://rhithmoflife.blogspot.com/2010/11/phaeleh-fallen-light.htmlBeasty tunes
|
 | Romulus sounds fantastic, gracias tuna
|
 | Crisis bro now I want some so bad............ http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_afYdKzOI5zI/Sdljz3mMLYI/AAAAAAAAAsU/bR9FraSuiLs/s400/ist2_312002-cookie-with-pink-icing-and-sprinkles.jpg
|
| Romulus yeah i seriously love it but honestly i need something new to dig... i think my latest dig is about a month old. got any suggestions?
|
| bungy Oh that's really cool
|
 | dr2den had this one for a while, where you been
|
| bungy Oh I got the right version. I think I have someone to go with me, though going alone suits me just fine. Did Mountain Goats add a bunch of dates?
|
| Inveigh what it is Large Tuna! I haven't been on sputnik quite as much lately, been super busy at work. what's new with you man?
|
| Romulus quite honestly sounds like the life man. james blake is like ridiculously good. i sense a rating bump for me in the near future.
|
| bungy Dude awesome! I really like both those albums The Last Resort is kind of long for my poor attention span though. Not going to rate James Blake until I listen more
|
| SeaAnemone ahh thank you I feel much better haha ;)
|
| Romulus hey user tuna how's it going? i'm currently downloading the gigantics btw
|
| bungy Aw that SUCKS. They played where I live last year but I couldn't go without losing my job. I will make you as jealous as possible afterwards. dw
|
| bungy I guess it's some random stop, kinda weird the show's not even mentioned on the website.
|
 | Apollo sorry man, that was a bit harsh I guess. We agree to disagree on the issue though, I read what you posted and I've read on the subject a whole lot and all the evidence to me points to Jehovah being the closest thing possible in the English language as the true God's name. T o each each his own however and I apologize for being offensive.
|
 | Deviant. http://www.multiupload.com/6JJ7S2SHLR
|
| Satellite not s*** man. about to go wait tables and not make any money. i have to ask, what's with your favorite bands section? haha.
|
| Inveigh FINALLY A NEW SIMS ALBUM: http://store.doomtree.net/product/bad-time-zoo-sims
|
| bungy Also, awesomest is a real word as it isn't underlined in red like bungtastrophe is.
|
| bungy I'm slowly putting together a massive Mountain Goats playlist. I've only gone through Tallahassee, Sunset Tree and Coroner's Gambit and it's 24 songs. It's going to be the awesomest
|
| bungy I bet you feel dumb
|
| Inveigh damn, no go on that one. I'll keep looking, it's been on my list for awhile haha, if I don't find it soon I'll just buy it off itunes or something
|
| Inveigh word, thanks mang I'll hit that up when I get home tonight
|
| Inveigh any idea where I can find it?
|
| Inveigh lol damnit why do I keep only remembering when I'm at work?!
|
 | Gyromania Big Tuna, you will no longer be called 'Big Tuna', henceforth, you are to be called 'Big Haircut'
|
 | qwe3 oh....i'd probably hate it but the book is one of my faves. it's prob my fav kazuo book
|
| qwe3 nah i haven't, is it good?
|
 | fr33convict I think I told Kimm I'm really not sure what I'm talking about haha
|
 | Josh D. I responded to your post as well.
|
| Josh D. Facebook messages. It didn't last long.
|
| fr33convict If you Catholic I'm pretty sure you know that's not true. I don't mean it's a completely different book I mean it has a lot of stuff that isn't in the typical Protestant bible. There's seven (I believe - I'm probably wrong) added to the OT. These seven books contained verses that where disagreeable to what reformers of the church believed and thus where removed.
|
| Maniac! Oh. My interpretation would have been more amusing ;)
|
| Maniac! Is your username a metaphor for a fat woman's vagina?
|
| Maniac! Lol we are more like partners rather than him being my mentor ;)
|
| bungy That's fine, but my music industry is also my sphincter.
|
| bungy you wait until I rate the new albums I've been listening to today
|
| bungy I sort of wish that other dude in The Extra Lens's contributions were more subtle, but I'm glad it still focuses on Darnielle's lyrics and stuff.
|
 | EVedder27 when I get my fixed laptop back. I haven't heard anything new in like 3 weeks
|
| bungy THAT BAND HAS A FAT CHICK
|
| bungy I want it on my ipod and i don't want to pay for it.
|
| bungy yes sir. where the hell did you find that Extra Lens album?
|
| Satellite wait so the higher-pitched vocalist isn't the girl? hmm. yeah, good lyrics for sure.
|
| Satellite i definitely like it. it's right up my alley for sure. i think it'll take a little while for her voice to grow on me.
|
| bungy I HAVE. Well that stream you showed me. I'll dl it today.
|
| SeaAnemone I think I mighta just stumbled upon this really good album or something I was actually looking for music for once and I found it in a random blog it's called Kind Of Like Spitting - Bridges Worth Burning and I want to know if I'm crazy or if it's cool, care to be a judge please?
|
| SeaAnemone I mean I just get upset at the lack of Samson sometimes :( but yeah I guess it's good *hmph*... I have a lot that I'd like to hear but it can't hurt giving it another chance
|
| SeaAnemone hey funny-looking you should check out the new Destroyer EP. and yeah, thanks for the rec but I agree with chan :/
|
 | mynameischan there are some good songs but mostly it's pretty pointless
|
| bungy and you should submit your real fave on acad's list, I'm interested to know what it is
|
| mynameischan had no idea about that, just downloaded it. thanks!
|
 | LegendofPittman Thanks a lot man. It makes a lot of sense, but I still want to hear the Cicatriz ESP cover. That's always been one of my favorite Volta songs.
|
| LegendofPittman Hey, how do I find the review for the Quartet Tribute to The Mars Volta? It really sucks that it didn't turn out that great though.
|
 | Xenophanes Yeah, I try reviewing stuff that hasn't been done yet, to kinda broaden the database.
|
| Xenophanes Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I've been trying to improve my stuff for awhile now, and these past few weeks I've just been on a reviewing binge haha.
|
| Inveigh I know man, and they know each other too -- they should've coordinated this better! Bottom Lounge and Abbey aren't too far from each other (BL's at the Belmont red line stop and Abbey's off milwaukee) so if the timing's right I might swing by both shows. I'm definitely jonesing for some new Sims material though too
|
| Inveigh no idea about The Veldt man, Sims has been saying that it was on it's way for about 2.5 years now... it was originally scheduled for release in like Jan of 2009 or something
|
| Inveigh nice man, I'll let you know if I'm going to that show at Bottom Lounge, it's been forever since I've been to that venue, I saw The Bled there like 4 years ago.. I think that might have been the last time. I'll be going to Mac Lethal if they're the same night (the 9th), but if not I'll def hit up P.O.S. -- we'll have to have a beer man
|
| Inveigh jam son, didn't know there was one. I'm always down to catch P.O.S. though, I've seen him 4 times already lol. Mac's playing a show at the Abbey here in Chicago (first place I saw both him and P.O.S. a few years back) on Dec. 9th, that show should be off the chain
|
| EVedder27 it seems like kind of a mix between right away, great captain! and I'm like a virgin with kevin devine thrown in
|
| EVedder27 http://www.mediafire.com/?3cxtzs1xiukxknk. It has arrived
|
| bungy 100 plays in the last few days, though it has worn off a bit there isn't much to it.
|
| Satellite Nope. Opted for hockey instead. I'm assuming you saw LD?
|
| Deviant. Yeah I know, I'm hopefully gonna get around to it in the next few days
|
 | Athom redskyformiles@gmail.com
|
| bungy Oh yeah love that kind of stuff
|
| bungy Thanks man, checking out now.
|
| Inveigh word, I'll hit that up tonight (can't stream audio/video at work)
|
| Inveigh haha it's cool man I like finding new music, I'll check that out
|
 | fromtheinside reviver - potential wasteland. i have a feeling you might enjoy that as well
|
| Knott- whaaaaaaaat. like 3 of my friends are going to see paramore supported by fun. at an ARENA in the next couple months, very jealous but unsure how fun.'s show will translate to a huge venue haha.
|
| Inveigh yeah man it's probably my favorite hardcore of the year besides Kvelertak, Black Breath's just a little behind it and Ceremony after that
|
| Satellite Yeah, that scared me. He was jumping around on the sidelines later, though. I think if it were a closer game against a tougher team he would've stayed in.
|
 | osdm lol he guyz i lernt a new word all the spudnicks guys r sayin it its KVLT (IN CAPS) umm idk what it means butt it sounds prtty cool lol KVLT (IN CAPS) lol its funny lol KVLT (IN CAPS)
|
| Inveigh btw what did you think of that More Than Life?
|
| Inveigh I think there's probably other hardcore I recommend getting first, but yeah I think you'd dig it. Kvelertak's much better imo as far as new stuff goes at least
|
| bungy This is where we lock hands.
|
| bungy Nope you aren't that popular all the shouts are me.
|
| bungy Your shoutbox is sooooo cute.
|
| bungy I 4.5'd it by the way. My favorite hip-hop album honestly, not that that's saying much.
|
| bungy dont know probly your fault stupid
|
| bungy Whoa you replied fast. I wasn't even done thinking "why did I press the post button twice" and then bam.
|
| bungy I will. One more listen.
|
| bungy I will. One more listen.
|
| EVedder27 haha I tried fixing and it wouldn't work. Just kinda gave up after that
|
| Inveigh yeah man I definitely dig 10.21, one of my favorite metalcore albums. awesome sh*t
|
| SeaAnemone sounds good man. I'll get on it right after I finish cooking up this little review I'm workin' on.
|
| SeaAnemone ha ok gotcha. ok, so I know you've given me a ton of rec.s that I've neglected :( if you could remind me of one essential one right now, I promise to listen to it this instant! were you the one who really pushes O Brother?
|
| SeaAnemone "also" ... was there something else you wrote cuz I didn't get it? and idk like 4 or 5 haha
|
| SeaAnemone I know I have like 3 albums rec'd from you that I'm supposed to listen to (trust me, I will!) but if you're ever looking for something a little different from what you usually listen to PLEASE please listen to Grown Ups - Songs... it's one of my personal favs and I hate that nobody else listens to it : (http://www.mediafire.com/?wmwmmzmtiwl
|
| Satellite Guess that's a decent resolution, all things considered. I really don't see what the big deal is in the first place (like you said, it probably pissed off someone of a prominent position like a donor).
|
| bungy lol yeah just listened to that. Hip-hop albums with that many tracks usually scare me, but I flew through it.
|
| Inveigh I saw them live a few years back and they were pretty good, I'll check it out. the mood for that kind of stuff still strikes me on occasion
|
| Satellite Yeah, and CC always struck me as a pretty progressive college. But I think you're right; they're just hedging their bets and trying to avoid pissing off a handful of influential people who happen to hate fun.
|
| Satellite http://www.avclub.com/articles/michigan-college-cancels-new-pornographers-show-ov,45213/ MAJOR WTF
|
| EVedder27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-punk
|
 | Blindsided To answer your question on Inveighs wall, I couldn't get into Atmosphere before the new EP and now I can't stop listening to said EP.
|
| Inveigh well that depends man.. what don't you like about Atmosphere? and which albums have you heard?
|
| SeaAnemone feel free to email me! :) emloose@loyola.edu
|
| EVedder27 Not true, I'll probably check out the others soon
|
 | wyankeif1337 Good talking with you, you're a lot smarter than I am.
|
 | ConsiderPhlebas Will do, man. I'll save it till tomorrow though because I'm half mad with tiredness now.
|
| ConsiderPhlebas Look forward to talking to ya, man. I kinda regret going down the route of focussing on one passage because it always seems a little blinkered and the wider philosophy is what's interesting.
|
| Romulus i'm glad you like it, i think someone rec'd it to me but i'm not sure who. bad memory.
|
