 | Lasssie johnny where are u we miss u
|
 | Gyromania Yo! I logged on for the first time in a while and saw you?re no longer staff. The hell?s been happening around here?
|
 | Trifolium What is this big huge drama oh my! Love you!
|
 | someone welcome back among the lowly people ig
|
 | Flashmobba im gonna set a dildo on fire and ram it up your
|
 | budgie yeah ngl if brock van way goes on in full, it's 100% turning into a sleep jam - one of the best nap albums ever. it's kinda a shame bc a lot of the best stuff is in the second half, but i jam an abridged ver sometimes too lol. should peep more from his bvdub project (which you have coming up)
|
 | Hawks Yeah I was well into the second half by the time I actually fell asleep. The length actually kinda appeals to that setting because of how repetitive it really is but in a good way. Definitely hype to hear all the good stuff coming up.
|
| Hawks Hell yeah. Was jamming Brock Van Wey as I was going to sleep and it was an experience lol. Will definitely check that track tonight!! I've jammed so much metal this year I need a break.
|
| Hawks I am LOVING this Tujiko Noriko album.
|
 | zakalwe Top Man. Front Cover is resplendent. Album is magnificent
|
| zakalwe Afternoon John. Do you have it in your talents to add the album art to Marconis new one The Fear of Never Landing. I have stuck it on here and given it the 5 it deserves but adding the front cover is a right **** about
|
 | ashcrash9 yeah I gotchu. should hit those recs in the coming days. much appreciated
|
 | Nioh 3 u mean that's just a demo silly and I own no PS5
|
 | Icebloom Oh that's too bad - you've had hearing problems before, right? Hope it goes over quickly. Anyhow: glad you dig! Album isn't groudbreaking or anything but it clears the bar of Easy to Find, Frankenstein and Laugh Track, at least in consistency
|
 | Demon of the Fall ah right. I mean okay it wasn?t an essential commenting area so I don?t mind abstaining in future. Didn?t realise there was an issue and do not care to investigate further but will trust in this advice ??
|
| Icebloom Hey Johnny listen to Matt Berninger's 'Nowhere Special', the best track on what is easily his best album since Sleep Well Beast. It's a mumbly stream-of-consciousness thingy over an uneasy drumbeat with lots of nice stuff happening in the background. Wonder what you think of it, hope you dig
|
| budgie You good Johnny? Seem a bit morw aggressive this morning with people. Just wanted to check in see if you are alright or its just a "people are idiots" sort of day
|
 | Manatea Did you check new Eyes yet? (Album is called Spinner)
|
 | Ectier Okay just wanted to check. Yeah its a cute pic, sums up a lot.about me goth, thinking about rabbits and cute stuff
|
| Ectier You good Johnny? Seem a bit morw aggressive this morning with people. Just wanted to check in see if you are alright or its just a "people are idiots" sort of day
|
| budgie do ur farts smell like soy sauce
|
 | markjamie I thought they were EPs... but they're all actual albums. Dude must never sleep.
|
| markjamie Thanks for the Charles A.D. rec last December. Forgot about it until now. Love it - just my sort of thing.
|
 | Cygnatti Ngl, I thought you'd get there before me lol. I suppose I was oddly inspired the last few weeks.
|
 | tectactoe How to report/merge a double artist/entry? See "Voice Actor and Squu" and also "Voice Actor, Squu"
|
 | brainmelter yo this is cool, thanks for putting it on my radar! The 2nd or 3rd track with the zooming car sounds were making me trip out on my drive home yesterday lol
|
| Hawks I know I've already said this, but I highly recommend you jamming Ash Borer and also Fell Voices. Take aways the skramz influences from Teardrinker and they remind me so much of those 2 bands. Think you'd really enjoy both of them.
|
| Manatea I just wanna say that losing to you in march madness is a privilege
|
 | brickhed the album kinda brings me back to my progarchives days, sounds like just good off kilter European prog. At least beyond the spoken word segments that kind of kill the flow. halfway through rating: 3.5/5
|
| brickhed hey bud i got s*** to do 30 minutes is a big ask right now
|
 | ScuroFantasma Wow thats really awesome man! For sure Issa has some flops, probably largely due to the overwhelming quantity he produced, but there are plenty of gems and I just love his child-like approach.
|
 | alamo If you can't "parse" yourself, how in the hell are you gonna "parse" somebody else. Can I get an amen up in here.
|
| ScuroFantasma Yo, do you read Matsuo Basho? I thought your haikus were really good, curious if you do them often or have some favourite authors you like. I?m partial to Issa (:
|
 | artificialbox that bloodthirsty butchers rec was perfect, thank you! I would have gone nuts for that album if I found it 10 years ago but it?s better late than never. I can definitely hear so many of my favourite sounds in it.
|
| zakalwe https://m.youtube.com/shorts/rtxJ0t8Cf6g
|
 | el_newg aw, appreciate the inv Johnny but I don't think you need me in there lol
|
 | JjoJongryeol thank you, shame the rest is pretty s*** hah. ive went through your dnb list and its awesome, dream dolphin in particular. check out transcentral connection if u havent already for atmospheric dnb.
|
| Hawks Nyron Higor review is up please let me know what you think!!
|
| Hawks Hell yeah I'm on it. Thanks!! :]
|
| Hawks I wanna review something from this year that isn't metal that is kinda out of my comfort zone. Gimme a good one that doesn't have a review yet so I can jam and write something up. Something you think I'll like of course.
|
| brainmelter heya https://charlesadad.bandcamp.com/album/urban-nights
|
| Trifolium Ooooh interesting! Sounds like it could definitely be my thing. Reading Genji for the second time, almost finished... I'm planning to read some very different ones next but after that I might just return to Japan! Sounds nice!
|
| Hawks 100% agree! Glad we're on the same page. And yeah the confkict just isn't worth it for anyone. We're all grown men here even if we sometimes act like jackasses.
|
| Hawks I apologize for being a nut case sometimes. Mostly have it under control irl but sometimes it leaks on to here. I really do wanna be at least civil with everyone here (even including Tundra). The internet drama is no longer for me. Tires me out nowadays tbh.
|
 | CottonSalad I expect you will have listened to all those bandcamp links by the end of the weekend? hmmmm
|
 | Jash Done and done, also wanna say I appreciate those City Pop rec?s you sent, still working my way through, but enjoyed most of them a lot
|
 | Butkuiss STAND INSIDE AN EMPTY TUXEDO WITH GRAPES IN MUH MOUTH
|
| Manatea Check new Yazz Ahmed my friend.
|
 | efp123 https://imgur.com/a/so1Bkpe thought you would like this
|
 | Egarran Damn boy I am not doing that, makes me exhausted just thinking about it. Good OBrother call, I should listen more to that.
|
 | veninblazer oh I get what you mean for sure. I'll have to follow up later this would be fun. if I didn't already rev it I probably would've just defaulted to Venturing for ya lmao
|
| veninblazer oh 100%, i would love to review-swap some stuff that i think you'd vibe vs maybe you send me something that you presume might be my thing?
|
| Icebloom Great rec!! Seems tailor-made for my taste
|
| Butkuiss Listen to Grace Jones you old bullfrog.
|
 | somnolence i have never held ill will towards any critic, hope u?re ok. i got banned by a jav actress on ig one time for saying *tsuge in live
|
 | Elynna Nothing so far, but I havent started actively looking yet. Couple tracks in that rec and it sounds great! Thank you
|
 | jrlikestodance Looks like someone is becoming a Shellhead! We love to see it (: Make sure to give their single Home a jam if you haven't!
|
| Hawks Yep that one. Definitely gotta hear more of her stuff. Been getting a lot into drum and bass/jungle stuff over the past week.
|
| Hawks That friggin Dream Dolphin album is amazing.
|
 | normaloctagon Lol. Your answer has been logged and your avatar has been released. And I?ll have you know that i have been drinking herbal tea every day for the last couple months, the CoB ratings are most assuredly accurate
|
| normaloctagon Hello, we have kidnapped your avatar, here are our demands: the name of your favorite ISIS the band album. You have 24 hours or else you will never see your avatar again. Sincerely, avatar kidnappers
|
| brainmelter oh hell yes, writing about something like this seems straight forward at first but to actually pin down what makes this particularly alluring is indeed a bit hard to articulate. I see you posted the review already! I?m going to give it a read now :]
|
| zakalwe What a lad. I salute you. The band didn?t register at all back in the day. Definitely a music forum phenomenon that have something about them.
|
| zakalwe Would be interested to hear your thoughts on Anathema Judgement mate.. What holds it up as a classic in your eyes and what is your experience of first listening to it and being invested in it. Do you still listen to it.
|
 | cylinder aw hell yeah! will do, much appreciated!
|
| budgie tickle tickle tickle tickle !!!
|
| normaloctagon Dont have a list of threads for ya or anything, just a trend Ive noticed last couple months. Ive also been around the site less on average so perhaps that magnified what I felt was happening. Appreciate you taking it in stride. I get an enjoyable kick out of your snark and i appreciate you balancing it out with camaraderie at other times. And i appreciate you!
|
| normaloctagon Theres a heart emoji at the end of that but sput do be sputtin
|
| normaloctagon lol idk lately it seems like you have nothing to say to me except when you disagree with something Im saying. I can take crit and i can take s*** with the best of em but if that doesnt get balanced out it gets stinky real quick. I know i can be over sensitive sometimes but just think abt it
|
 | Colton are we still doing the noise funk album or nah
|
| budgie https://nighttapesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/assisted-memories
|
| CottonSalad I SAID I AM SORRY. The Lehman was ok, yah?academia needs a glow up, but that ain?t it for me. Digging through Haino patiently - his Black Blues (soft/violent) from this year was an album, actually two, that I only heard once?my soul is not in question though
|
 | bludngorevidal i can mess with a lot of necks, and on Three i do like the percussive motifs that recur on different instruments across Bloom and Further, but overall i think that record's a whole lotta topography with no legend to make sense of it all
|
 | platttt you should resurrect the rate my 5s list
|
| Butkuiss Call me James S. A. Corey the way I?m about to remind you to listen to James Holden
|
| efp123 I like the new one a bit more since commenting here, but it?s still a really good listen
|
| someone Hey, that's not fair. I dont have the 12.99$ a month it costs to run it...
|
| someone Yes boss, will do. Could you... could you pay me in advance?
|
| someone Anything particular you're referring to, baby blue?
|
| someone My favourite lazy umbrella term for melodies, harmonies, progressions, whathaveya
|
| Manatea Yes! All good my friend. Votes coming in today
|
| efp123 Might be better than the new one, but idk yet
|
| efp123 https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=511357
|
| Butkuiss Spun James Holden?s 2017 effort The Animal Spirits for the first time in a while today and immediately thought of you; it?s a nice middle ground between EDM, jazz and neopsych with a smattering of new age that you will either adore or retch over. Cheers!
|
| Elynna Im also looking forward to see what she comes up with next. As for recs, a couple do come to mind: Mademoiselle - Cho nh?ng ng�y �m u; Wang Yiling - ??? (Ode to Wither); Gen Tanabe and Meadow - Two Lands; (less like Renge) Sangre de Muerdago, Judasz and Nahimana - A ilus�o da quietude; Ann O'aro - BLEU. All are available on digital streaming platforms (Wang Yiling on her Chinese name: ???). Renge is great, I frequently revisit her compilation Memories of a Blue Day.
|
| Elynna Just finished my first listen and it is lovely. The songwriting is superb and the record is full of surprising twists and turns
|
| Elynna Cheers for the rec! Track got me intrigued, will check the record in full at a later time
|
 | Futures again i have never done anything to you and you would insult me in every thread you were in, that?s just truly sad. your deranged friends hyped you up into hating a complete stranger. i truly hope you look in the mirror man.
|
| Futures me with the grudge? you are mad at me when i ever said a word to you. wish me dead. i came here after 7 literal years have passed and people have never moved on from harassing me. it?s garbage, you?ve contributed to it and deep down you know it?s wrong which is why you?re trying to pseudo apologize. i seriously feel bad for you guys, i don?t think about any of you at all.
|
| Futures yeah bro take his word of course. laughable s***. no skin off my back, i know what happened. the horrible nonsense that mentally destroyed me. people i've never met wishing i was dead because i called their music taste gay or whatever. you don't get it. you never will. i always think about blowing my brains out but the beauty is i can just wait it out a bit. you can take solace in that.
|
| Futures no, i said exactly what i said.
|
| Futures sinternet, pots, all of those losers. and you know damn ****ing well what i mean. it's the same s***. those discords kept majority members, you really think i'm an idiot? so please release this vitriol from your heart dude. i haven't ever said s*** about you. it's really sad that you guys have this hatred in you. i truly will never understand it. and i would like for you to understand exactly what i'm saying.
|
| Futures i genuinely can't tell if you're serious. get help man. dead serious.
|
| Futures if you could provide me a single comment of me going at you first that would be great. i've done and said nothing to you. you've done so much awful heinous s*** to me including buddying around with indeed people who make fun of cancer and hope i die. but i've gotta sit and take it because you have cred on a dead music website. nah man i'm good. so just leave me alone and we're all good here.
|
| Futures the brazen lying here is just sad man. seething in discord over s*** i forgot i even said 8 years ago. you haven't moved on with your life? that's just so sad. either that or you viscerally hate me when we never interacted. it's a worse fate than dying young of cancer like i will. you should feel ashamed man. truly.
|
| Futures then keep my name out of your filthy ****ing mouth. hoping get hit by a bus is a new low even for a vile person like you. all of it's true and if you come at me i'll continue to reply in part.
|
| Futures we all know that ain't true. you've been seething mad at a person you don't even know? makes perfect sense. that's such an awful thing to do. it's not surprising though. do whatever you want man. i'll be dead soon. seriously post a celebratory thread, i know you will. i approve of it.
|
| bludngorevidal nw! thanks for thinking of me for this, happy to contrib more in the future
|
| efp123 Do you have any other recs like skee mask or that latest gendema album? I?ve been kind of getting sucked into techno slash idm whatever you want to call it. I?ve enjoyed boards of Canada for years but they are kinda old news at this point obviously
|
| cylinder Haven?t heard that, def gonna check
|
| cylinder Some incredible musique concrete. The titles are pretty literal (lol), but it really struck me for its balance of musicality and rowdy collaborative **** n? around. Def has a lot of spirit to it.
|
| jrlikestodance Dude that review is awesome hahahaha. Nice 2 for 1. Totally agree he missed the mark on that one. They are intentionally traditionalist and wanna make good club tunes. I'll def be checking that GENDEMA joint!
|
| Trifolium Thanks, will definitely check Quicksand then, interesting to see how he writes when doing something different. Loved Taeko and her secret ways.
|
| Trifolium Omg that Silent Snowfall final sentence hahahahahahhaah I'm dying! Really lovely book, my copy contained a nice analysis too and most points came across clearly, yet there's a lot to unearth and interpret. Very glad I read it.
|
| Butkuiss 1) what is molecular corporation 2) that is the goddamn fastest comment thread to shoutbox leap I have ****ing ever seen. Are you keeping tabs on me???
|
 | DadKungFu Considering it, but I'm prob way more tantalized by that empty space than you might be, and possibly more than the album deserves. Might be a decent one for that collab review?
|
 | Deez Check this out man a newly found , Live Narcosis Audio from 2002, Sounds superbhttps://youtu.be/63q7bUgJiqI?si=TJDh40HJl8n_-oJj
|
 | anat chuck it on here and I?ll burn after reading
|
| anat can you send me a discord invite I ****ed up and logged out and I don?t ****ing know what my bulks*** 2FA codes are ****
|
| budgie whats your discord i need to say something
|
| Manatea Sorry my guy had the flu of a century, although Nala would have been my vote for sure
|
| Trifolium Oh my Johnny that bee bit in Tanizaki Snowfall was hilarious. Do you remember it? Where a bee flies into the room the sisters are sitting in and they are chased through the entire house, but can't run fast because of the beriberi? Hahahaha!!!
|
 | Drifter you?re the definition of a 2.5
|
| Drifter 2.5 for Animals? As if you even have the perspective to make that kind of claim.
|
| Butkuiss Noticed you haven?t posted in the jobs thread yet, which is a real shame, as I was looking forward to hearing about your masters degree in economics and econometrics and 1st class degree in economics from the Uni Of York. Also your straight A*s/As in your GCSEs and A levels. Heard you work as a data analyst for the ONS, that must be cool. Is it true your parents are doctors (GPs) and one of your sisters just finished her medicine degree?
|
| Manatea Okay ima try. My life is a whirlwind currently lol
|
| Manatea Not sure ill be able to squeeze it in have a very busy next couple of weeks, but what is the deadline?
|
 | evilford Word, nah u weren't grouched up at all I just felt like I made 1 too many snide comments lol
|
| evilford Hope you don't take my comments in the sput royale thread too seriously. I still love u
|
 | SomeCallMeTim it just hit me where that "high quality upholstery is like a knife in my back" quote your profile used to have is from and I appreciate you
|
 | BaselineOOO You already hate Russia, all you need now to become Finnish is to become slightly gay.
|
| Butkuiss Welliam, don?t tell me you?ve knocked back a few pints of his majesty?s finest on a weekday afternoon?
|
| Butkuiss Johnny am I correct in my understanding that you?ve just asked me to listen to entryist limey 2010s melocore??
|
| someone To hell with that. Come what may!
|
| Butkuiss As much as I abhor milk in coffee, maybe I?ll shout you one if you your goddamn September pop list
|
 | Ryus breathless is quite the banger, i feel like i've heard it on a mix before. b-side is def weaker but solid release
|
| Lasssie mom can me and johnny have macaroom for dinner plz?
|
| Lasssie You son of a btch im in! Tell me what to do!
|
| Lasssie Johnny are you telling me it is time??
|
| Manatea Checking the rest of this Nala album and it?s pretty great ngl
|
| Manatea Yeah this is good. Thanks as always for the rec my friend, lemme know what you think of that Korean kid
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Hi. I wonder if mathy jhonny would dig the new pyrrhon. Hug
|
| budgie r u mad at me ............
|
| budgie is that a taylor swift lyric
|
| Ryus yea that s*** is amazing
|
 | Dedes I can see that sentiment, albeit to me it's less bitter and more manic party crashers energy, in a ways there's an aloofness in it even if it's destructive. I'll prolly check both albums you mentioned, I dig chaos and more ambient structured stuff so I imagine I'll dig them both.
|
| Dedes Oh yeah as I said, very different bands. I just get wholesome summery vibes from both of them, one in a more innocent lush sense and the other in a poppy funky sense. I might check more Boat on that note tho
|
| Butkuiss ?White Boy Denigrates Contribution Of Seminal Burning Spirits Band To Shibuya Scene In Perfect Japanese (Record Store Owner Is Shocked!)?
|
| budgie u shld b nicer 2 ur friends
|
| Dedes I'm sure you've jammed it but jam Today is a Beautiful Day by Supercell it ****S and the wholesome vibes of BOaT got me thinkin about it even if they're p uhhh not similar lmao
|
 | BitterJalapenoJr My ranking of big Vlad is live on the list. Please slaughter me.
|
| alamo step aside Charli XCX there is a new phrase
|
| Butkuiss Why is Drag Race UK so much better than Down Under it incenses me so much
|
| Butkuiss Don?t lie you were gearing up for some sort of Socratic dialogue
|
| Butkuiss Johnny why must you surveil my shoutbox like the warden of some sort of panopticon
|
 | Sniff Don't forget to check out new Silverkasern
|
| budgie what the **** is art tryin to say here
|
 | artiswar oh I see what happened. If you type d e l e t e in the shout-box it just gets removed. Love this site.
|
| artiswar lol let's try that again... can you please budgie. Is what I meant to say. Might as well me as well
|
| budgie can U change goatrosity to goatrocity i farted up big time
|
| budgie i guess i cant ever make fun of u for that linguistic knowledge comment cuz u made it ya ****in user name hugh. good strategy
|
| budgie i like i likegratias amicvs
|
| budgie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifBYsWMZrmE everything and anything that sounds like this
|
| Gyromania Thanks so much man! Of course it was filtered in with my junk mail and I didn?t see it for a while there lol, but I got it! Excited to hear this album but disappointed af that anything I like from it can?t be added to the Spotify playlist I?ve been building.
