 | efp123 blood has been shed album was fun. ty
|
 | bellovddd i used to go to the gym at the PCYC near st mary cathedral in the city. I was jacked at one point in life.
|
 | Ectier Ah s*** guess im gettin smacked
|
 | Ectier If we fight in sydney ill cry, maybe we can settle for a bunnings sanga?
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell given him a few spins and my thoughts are HMMM this is how butkuiss likes his DMT?? love the closer a lot (been on one-song rotation, which i hardly ever do), waiting for the rest to sink in PS tell me you've heard his Balance 005 mix
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell Woa right on, got a lot of gaps to fill with Holden - will hit it when I'm home from holiday, yank my arm if I don't follow up lol
|
 | kildare Hey Butkuiss, I left a question about training on your Legs Power list that I didn't want to clutter your shoutbox with in case you're interested: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=447370
|
 | Christbait Putting my swords away for now big dog as per our Indestructible alliance.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell i am keeping tabs on EVERYTHING molecorp is the sput musicians collective haphazardly organised compilation thing and there are loose plans for a new one one day here is the last one it is AOTD https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/87817/Molecular-Corporation-Millions-of-Dead-Menposters/
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell this is the music police plz submit a halfdone_gothic_country_album song 2 molecular corporation new album
|
 | bludngorevidal pretty sure the idea that they didn't have sex was debunked in palimpsest but i could be misremembering. either way i wouldn't be surprised if vidal covered up the details of his private life given the climate of the time
|
 | bludngorevidal fair, yes, it could have been raunchier but pretty sure in palimpsest he talks about ****ing Howard. also the lack of raunch leaves more room for the mind to play at fantasy, i have a capote/vidal fanfic brewing
|
 | WretchedCacophony bruh I do all the same things you posted lol (lifting, reading, writing, music, cooking, gardening) but I don't write. Gardening is underrated especially growing vegetables
|
 | NexCeleris Glad you semi-dug Stampin' Ground. Officer Down is a regular comfort jam. Scientists recently discovered that track raises your bench press ceiling by a factor of 1.2.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell OH MY GAWD call in the cavalry big sis WILL be hearing about this people are going to get fired HOW DARE they not have foreknowledge of this!!!
|
 | kildare I never got the results back from my "squatting" quiz. What do ya' think, on a Sputnik scale of Awful to Classic? (Please feel free to be trollish to brutally honest. If I was shooting for Classic I would've spent more time!)
|
 | Hawks Not really lol. Just lurking for the most part. Still rating/reviewing but only commenting when I see fit lol.
|
 | FowlKrietzsche Thanks!! It came out of nowhere but authority gained will soon become authority abused
|
 | el_newg i just want milk that tastes like real milk
|
 | bellovddd chocie milk and a sausage roll pls mate
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell literally how dare you i am too committed to my current display name to change it at this juncture *but*
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell hey if i wanted tetchiness and not JUICE, i'd be paging [skims butkuiss shoutbox downwards] instead
|
 | kildare Thanks. But it is probably cosmic justice for a careless youth not taking care of his body sensibly, so I'm not bitter, just inconvenienced :]. And the coincidence of you asking that particular question is one of those cool events that puts me in a metaphysical mindset, and that's always a bonus. So thanks for asking!
|
 | kildare LONG FORM (sorry, but it?s hard to shut off the tap if I?m caffeinated): I foolishly attempted to teach myself yoga at the end of last year (hey, Mille Petrozza does it, and he leads a bad-ass thrash band. Why not me?). Big mistake. Just last Monday I had to ?squat? while doing some housework and now I?m back on knee braces. Today I?m holding them together with duct tape and little fluorescent zip-ties just long enough to give the dog his mandatory walk, so squats are out of the question
|
 | kildare Lmao! You couldn?t have come up with a more incisive question to deflate me, Butkuiss. If this was Sputnik-Sports.com, I would expect a ban any day now. SHORT ANS: squatting my own weight could be a disaster at the moment, so ?zero kilos?
|
 | Jots who's the ex-sputniker who played in Pallow?
|
 | Rowan5215 if they give 13 a personality* I'm gonna scream
|
 | Rowan5215 I think the last BF I listened to was that Bradley First Doctor boxset, before that I hadn't bothered in years. but I must say the idea of Jodie getting a whole season without Chibnall is intriguing
|
 | Rowan5215 I would love a comic relief sketch about all the times Sutekh has had to deal with bulls*** from the TARDIS lmao. split himself in two because Ncuti hit it with a hammer. gets blown the **** up by The Silence and used to reboot the universe. awkwardly nose to nose with Jsck Harkness when they're both clinging on through the vortex
|
 | Rowan5215 I didn't think it was possible to write a worse villain defeat than The Master in s3 but jesus christ lmao. "the most powerful being I've ever encountered" and they just put him on a leash and drag him through the vortex. this man has absolutely no idea how to end a season
|
 | Rowan5215 Kandyman is so powerful he just breaks the show tbh. No-one can even compete with his candy coloured might
|
 | Rowan5215 also with all this god setup I'm gonna need the Mara or Fenric to show up next season. best villains in the classic series fr
|
 | Rowan5215 yeah the middle of that was a drag, they spent so long in the time window accomplishing absolutely nothing but damn what an ending. man can write a cliffhanger no doubt. I guess we're meant to see Sutekh and the Beast from s2 as the same creature now, nice way to canonise it being the same voice actor
|
 | bellovddd the only time I have seen Metallica live was the death magnetic tour so holds up.
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki banned/deleted guy gets a post in but no username remains
|
 | Nice one mate. Consider Phlebas is the most straight up action blockbuster type one set piece to set piece following a straight story. From here on in it?s all about deviousness, layered story telling, the universe, espionage and witty drones. Excession, Use of Weapons, Look to Windward are all absolute classics for me. Every book in the series is worth a read though and has its memorable moments. Even the ones that are comparatively overlooked Matter, Surface Detail are quality.
|
 | Rowan5215 bespoke: they're just gonna cycle through all the Curse of Fatal Death Doctors and canonise em all. can't wait for Hugh Grant era
|
 | Rowan5215 they did show a bit of that flashback in Ruby Road iirc but not the whole thing, I agree the implementation of that was super corny. a much weaker version of what they did with Arthur Weasley as Rory's dad tbh. canonising Shalka might be the single most based RTD move of all time though
|
 | Rowan5215 I think the only episode without him crying is 73Y cos he's in literally two minutes of it lol. I don't mind it but this season never really sold me on him and Ruby being besties, it just fast forwarded the whole thing so now these moment don't hit quite as hard. still less annoying than Tennant saying I'm so so sorry every goddamn ep
|
 | Rowan5215 thought that ep was gonna be another stinker but the second half surprised me, really good stuff. Ncuti killed it, funny how he's gotten his best material in the episode Russell didn't write lol
|
 | Mort. i see no hardcore list in all your lists, make best of hardcore list for sput community, then i might listen to korn (i wont)
|
 | Rowan5215 lol I don't mind it sometimes, there's some good insight there but the episode threads are generally just recency bias factories where you can't critique the episode even slightly. dedicated threads are generally better, it's one of the only places I know of on the internet where people acknowledge how obviously superior Capaldi?s era was
|
 | Rowan5215 absolute dogwater episode today lmao. unbelievable waste of time and Ncuti. 73 Yards to this is a quality dropoff on par with Androzani into Twin Dilemma if you ask me
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell NO and i have some silly ol s*** to get through, but will hop on it v soon watch this page aa
|
 | Hawks Idk why tf it got wiped??? I just came back on here and its gone lol.
|
 | bellovddd only if somehow you can sample Kerser in there also. i'm in.
|
 | bellovddd i wont lie, i haven't jammed Dani. I will when you least expect it
|
 | Rowan5215 I dunno, the lack of payoff didn't bother me too much. feels like he actually made it part of the atmosphere by evoking all the folk horror vibes, as opposed to Boom which was so grounded the bad payoff was a lot more glaring. idk if you've seen Russell's show Years and Years but the political subplot definitely felt like a callback to that. agreed about the glasses on Millie tho lmao that did not work but a small nitpick for me
|
 | Rowan5215 yooo that episode was ****ing phenomenal. that was exactly the RTD I wanted, need more of that but the preview for next week looks really bad lmao
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell s*** damn, that Seabird cover on the EP! lovely surprise (haven't heard or thought about that song in years), good jam
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell that Marissa Nadler album really do be full of spooky, spooky beans. anything else worth checking if i thought it (Path of the Clouds) was 66% zingers but Stranger was probs a low 3.5?
|
 | Rowan5215 low bar I guess but I do think there's some 13 episodes that are better than anything RTD2 has given us yet, specifically It Takes You Away and the Mary Shelley one. it's definitely been running on fumes since Capaldi left though. I wouldn't be surprised if you're right lmao, these episodes have good moments but they're very poorly put together on the whole. I think the show needs new blood more than anything else, just a whole new set of writers to reinvent from the ground up
|
 | Rowan5215 lol. that was good but not great imo, the resolution was underwhelming as hell and killed all the tension right away. middle of the road script for Moff which is still better than anything we've had in years, but I was hoping for more. next week looks kinda spooky and cool
|
 | Rowan5215 as a general rule, they suck ass but Christmas Carol, Last Christmas and Husbands of River Song are excellent episodes, and the two regeneration ones Moffat wrote are both fun too. if he can even match the latter for Ncuti I'd be pretty happy tbh
|
 | Rowan5215 just saw Grand Moff is writing this years chrissy special too. praise the lord it might actually be one of the rare good ones
|
 | Snake. your avi has never been more relevant than ever I hope this site doesn?t d-elite it
|
 | Rowan5215 Magician's Apprentice is absolutely goated so if he just does that again I'll be happy. tbh RTD episodes that are actually front to back great are a very small minority anyway, dude always wrote a few great moments and handwaved the rest
|
 | Rowan5215 also in defense of TDC I did like the scene with 15 talking about Susan which has been long long overdue in New Who. the jump to present day scene was also pretty intense, straight outta Pyramids of Mars. these give me some small hope RTD still has the stuff to write some Turn Left style dark episodes not this kiddy camp bs he's feeding us rn
|
 | Rowan5215 I don't have any answers for you but I do think the forced silence puddle scene went hard as hell. genuinely intense stuff and nice to see the screwdriver used for something actually sonic for a change lmao. I agree the internal logic was not there but you can kinda handwave a bit with the Maestro being from another plane of existence, borderline god level. the CGI uncanny Valley babies were just a hard no for me, actually embarrassing
|
 | Hawks Going for that Donald Byrd album now! You and Someone both 5'd it I see and you both give amazing recs so I'm ready for greatness lol.
|
 | Hawks Hell yeah bro! Its such a relaxing yet varied style of music. I see a long binge coming.
|
 | Rowan5215 yeah I did. love Ncuti as 15 but man the writing was rooough lol. Space Babies is down there with the worst of Tennant's era for me. hopefully Moffat ep next week is a banger cos that was an uninspiring start
|
 | Hawks Man you weren't lying, the guitar on this album is like very minimal sounding but so good. Almost tribal sounding jazz in a way. Loving it!
|
 | Hawks Will let you know when I'm done! Man Coltrane and Davis really got me loving this stuff. I'm a noob but excited to dive deep into it. M///
|
 | Hawks Bout 2 jam that Chico Hamilton album right now!
|
 | Get Low Awe thank you butt kiss, I enjoy our pop banter as well. Good User.
|
 | FowlKrietzsche Hmmm yes there is a certain desire/production relationship to being a hater
|
 | pizzamachine Yeah it?s funny af but the general negative attitude around here is really annoying sometimes lol.
|
 | pizzamachine Sput is full of snobs that need their egos stroked. Any review or album that is too different for their so-called elite pallet is bound to be shat upon (hence why my album Crunkcore Revenge was also shat upon). I?ve been pissed off at Sput lately cuz of their negative ****ing toxic attitude. My workplace is arguably better. It?s incredible that I can still get shat upon after all this ****ing time of trying to be nice to Sput
|
 | Futures appreciate it man, definitely interested. seems like good stuff. been bouncing all over the place lately lol. death grips, sabbath, burzum, 2024 stuff. i can never just dig deep in one genre for a long time i get bored haha
|
 | Futures good call. got so much stuff to jam haha. enjoying the black sabbath discog run. what album you think?
|
 | Futures wtf you're actually jacked lol. **** i gotta hit the gym.
|
 | bellovddd ARE YOU GETTING MARRIED? or is this some weird social experiment.
|
 | Hawks It is not easy bro. Me and my wife have been married for almost 4 years, so not too long. Communication, trust and patience. If you don't have that u don't have s*** tbh.
|
 | BaselineOOO Have you ever thought that is why you're so unsexuccessful?
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell Equal split of cooking/shopping/hoovering/the other one, grease-free sheets, no politics, no TV snobbery, no angst, big energy
|
 | pizzamachine Just keep doing stuff together, compliment her, help her out with stuff just cause, have dates whenever you can, be invaluable, etc.
|
 | someone No children, being actually best friends, openness in communication, polyamory, socialism, cats.
|
 | pizzamachine The secret is simple. Be there for each other and keep the romance alive
|
 | bellovddd I haven't dabbled in too much of the Clapton but girls on the ave is a certified classic.
|
 | bellovddd Imma take the queen Dannii for this one.
|
 | bellovddd alright its finally done. will post it up shortly, what a mission but also, ****ing fun album
|
 | Koris Donald Fagen on a metalcore track would be the craziest thing ever, lol
|
 | Futures always liked you man even if we never really talked much. nice to be kinda back hanging jamming new music for the first time in years. feels right.
|
 | Futures such a great list man lol. nice to see some oldheads still kicking around here.
|
 | bellovddd hhahaha who has work functions at the fiddler.
|
 | bellovddd i am half way through my review and all the tracks have basically become one long track of 12 bar blues. its mind numbing
|
 | Koris Can't say I do, but I saw that glowing review you just posted! I'll check soon :]
|
 | Rowan5215 lmaooo well if it comforts you I couldn't understand a single word Matt said during it. seemed like a banger tho
|
 | bellovddd damn that asbestos mayhem has hit me to. Enjoy that. ****ing greenlife.
|
 | bellovddd ill finalise my review tomorrow. Hope you're getting those GAINS
|
 | bellovddd I hope you have been studying your chisel.
|
 | bellovddd OH s***. If you have any picks we can do them. I forgot I made us suffer last time.
|
 | bellovddd next on the review agenda. I think we need to have a look at two classic Aussie bands and their debut albums. Cold Chisel and AC/DC. You pick who you want.
|
 | Rowan5215 the VNAS are wildly inconsistent but damn the good stuff is good. Timewyrm Revelation is already one of the best DW stories in any medium and I'm not even 10 books into the series. really excited to read Lungbarrow
|
 | pizzamachine Yes to find the good tracks and throw out the rest
|
 | Colton next time you get laid. ball's in your court
|
 | bellovddd on the front page where those Iconic aussies belong.
|
 | bellovddd that was one of the worst experiences musically I have had in a long time. damn it Guy
|
 | bellovddd Oftt do a couple leg presses in my honour.
|
 | bellovddd childless with a 10 pack of ciders. Hit the gym Sir Carr.
|
 | bellovddd angels brought me to this moment. I am ready.
|
 | bellovddd Guy Sebastian and Shannon noll debuts. Choose which one. I'll do the other.
|
 | el_newg dude I gotta stop arguing w/ people on this site
|
 | Koris In all honesty, I'm probably not going to critique any reviews for a while (been going through a dry spell tbh), but I'll try and see what I can do :]
|
 | Rowan5215 and funny you mention Lungbarrow. I've never read it but literally last week I started on the VNAs, wanted to for years because 7 is my fav Classic Doctor but only just bothered to track down pdfs. very rough start as I'd often heard but Timewyrm Revelation has me all the way in, that was a monster of a book. never read that author no but I'm always open for recs
|
 | Rowan5215 I would absolutely want someone other than RTD in charge if the spinoff happens lol, dude has his talents but no way he'd commit to the kind of tone it'd need these days. wild to think he commissioned the Dalek and Human Nature adaptations back in the day. get Moffat or Cornell back for it and you'd be cooking
|
 | Rowan5215 I feel you lol, Star Beast was a stinker but I think audio to TV is a much easier leap than from a comic, especially when the story is actually good lmao. just really want to see Chimes of Midnight on the screen, or even Storm Warning ffs
|
 | Rowan5215 and yeah heard the rumour and I'd be all for it. 8 is maybe the only one you could do that with because McGann has barely aged a day ans NOTD is all the proof you need that he hasn't lost the character on-screen. that said if they do that and don't adapt at least some audios I'll be livid
|
 | Rowan5215 yeah I think 8's monthlies after around Natural History of Fear went off a cliff but his seasons with Lucie were fantastic. the finale to the last season of that is some of the most devastating DW there's been, absolutely shattered me for days. I'm generally anti recast too, I refuse to listen to a Smith impersonator for example but there's been so many 1st Drs on TV it doesn't bother me for some reason. his stories have been generally excellent so far although the Susan they cast is awful lol
|
 | Rowan5215 I will say even with it being past its prime and the ten billion spinoffs about every minor character being ridiculous I recently started listening to some new ones here and there and they can still deliver the goods. The Invention of Death from the new 1st Doctor boxset was an absolute heater, top tier Big Finish
|
 | Rowan5215 Scherzo was absolutely buckwild lmao although I found the arc that followed it was pretty disappointing unfortunately. that was where I started falling off BF but there was still some great stuff like Seven fighting literal gods. Chimes of Midnight is my all-time favourite DW story in any medium, absolute stone cold classic
|
 | Rowan5215 you may be the only other mother****er on this site who knows about the McGann audio stuff lol. I listened to all that stuff back when I was at uni, the best of it makes televised DW look like a trial run fr
|
 | bellovddd if I had a hat on I would take it off to you, good sir.
|
 | Koris Maybe I do, maybe I don't. But please understand, I wanna be your holy man!
|
 | el_newg lmfao you got it, IF you ever die, which we both know ain't happening
|
 | MiloRuggles then i shall rain down judgment and all shall heed my litanies, for i am the jazzlord and there is not a single modality which i cannot comp over
|
 | Mort. hell yeah bro. Yowie for example are brilliant and are complete weedle skronk
|
 | Koris Sorry, I've been a little under the weather this week. I'll get to it though :]
|
 | bellovddd tell him to feature on a track with me the mad****
|
 | bellovddd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3X38hhr4a4 - HOWWWWWWW
|
 | someone oh absolutely, they were my jam when i was like 15 or so, heavily researching punk and dub at the same time. this was like a perfect marriage
|
 | CaptainDooRight I?ve always been here B, I just don?t post that much yee mon
|
 | botb Spinkicking just at the sentiment tbh
|
 | bellovddd Spiritech is prob my fav from them so far. so damn good
|
 | bellovddd Alchemist are sick. cant believe i've missed them
|
 | JayEnder Chip and the Chin. Boom. Already got the name. We will make a hxc cover of Shiny Teeth and hit the bigtime dude m/
|
 | Hawks Oh my bad wait.........MEN
|
 | Hawks Also probably strange because of the amount of bm and dm I love lmao.
|
 | Hawks I mean I'm a spiritual person and I do believe in god. I just don't follow a typical religion lol.
|
 | Hawks I don't really believe in religion tbh bro so no I am not lol.
|
|
