 | AmericanFlagAsh Did you always have Experimental 31%. I'm trying to figure out what happened with the Alt Rock tag lol.
|
 | GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Hey, random thought popped in my head and figured you'd be as good a person to ask as any: What is your take on hunting feral hogs or deer for meat when they breed massively quicker than any natural population controls in place and cause huge amounts of property damage in their respective areas? If you're against the practice, what alternatives do you favor so that they don't overtake everything around them?
|
 | zakalwe That Agnes album is a stunner.
|
 | Ryus nah aphex twin never rly tickled my fancy like i would expect
|
| zakalwe Ello dude. I'm going to check Leonard Cohens new one and if I haven't offed myself Agnes will be up next. Absolutely loved her last one.
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts It does sustain a vibe better, but to the point it is rather homogenous and songs run into each other. I still like it.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts I love heligoland but it's definitely flawed. Still my second fav album tho and paradise circus is like their 2nd best
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts Well I love every track they've released this year tbh so I'm sure It will be one of my top albums
|
 | FullOfSounds Yeah the production is pretty good, especially the bass.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts I watched up til about halfway through season 3 and then lost interest but it was amazing until then
|
| FullOfSounds I'm excited to rip through this dude's projects. Just listened to Angel Dust's opener earlier and it was groovy af
|
| FullOfSounds I've been feelin' a Patton binge coming on anyway, ever since I jammed Dillinger's Irony EP. Angel Dust looks sick
|
| FullOfSounds Aight dude. I tried California once and wasn't very much into it. It's due for another try
|
 | ArsMoriendi I listen to music far more slowly anyway :)
|
| ArsMoriendi Well I've been hyped for the new Beck album coming out in 4 days, which will probably be the next new album I listen to.
|
| ArsMoriendi I'll try to give it a shot, but it probably won't be for a while since I've actually not been in much of a 70s rock mood lately.
|
| ArsMoriendi Possibly. Fripp tried to get me to check A Trixk of the Tail a little while back
|
 | JigglyPDiddy Omg!! Thank you so much, bb. That sound off was flattering af.
|
| JigglyPDiddy Here's the record: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKCMazCTcWgCsAo4GgwbQu4dvmVNkun04
|
| JigglyPDiddy I have notttttt. Is she streaming it somewhere? Been working on the last tracks off my new album endlessly.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Make sure you check the remastered version over the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcLwQ0uXYUA
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Also if you ever wanna go real hard check Prowler in the Yard or Calculating Infinity if you haven't. Probably too aggressive for you but I love 'em.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Yeah I've heard most of those but I just don't usually rate things on here. I'll check the other couple out though.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd "Misuse / misplacement of taxpayer money makes me furious." - If it wasn't so rampant in the U.S. maybe I'd be less ultra-right-wing economically. But when tax money being pissed away like that is the norm and not the exception, I cannot morally justify having high or even moderate tax levels. Simply put, the government doesn't need all that much money to attend to the tasks it should. Anyone who thinks the U.S. has a revenue issue and not a spending one isn't paying attention.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Nah, fam. Check the tape: "Snide while you are out your goddamn mind on this I gotta reassure you a bit and say that part of the reason this vote is so one-sided is cause Sput has an insanely larger than proportional number of dudes who are into dudes." Clearly me telling Snide he is crazy means I prefer butts to boobs myself, but I was saying the ratio wasn't fair cause of the number of gay dudes commenting who don't like boobs. I'm an ass man to the core.
|
 | DoofusWainwright I couldn't give it a higher rating than a 3.5 - too much Zappa joking around bulls*** on there
|
 | Drifter Sorry, I meant to reply earlier. I still hold that as the most terrifying piece of entertaining I've ever experienced. It's truly one of a kind. As for the rec on your list.... I forgot about it lol. I'll check sometime soon and tell you what I think
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Only being attracted to women isn't conservative hahaha. I just finished law school so I'm done with school forever hopefully. As to Oregon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEb2inNby04
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Ha, but I'm not even remotely conservative seeing as how I think four dudes and three chicks, five of them relatives, should be allowed to marry in a seven-unit family and smoke heroin that they bought at the corner store after coming home from the local prostitution house. Not exactly a conservative, am I? And I'm from the D.C. metro area. Washington is pretty lefty so you'll probably fit in just fine. At least it ain't Oregon, ****ing idiots.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd How did you peg me as Sput's "resident free market capitalist"? I don't recall directly talking Econ with you... but I don't mind the label hahaha. Also whereabouts in 'Murica are you gonna be?
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd "Hahaha wow, maybe early Avril is something I need to revisit" - You really should. The world really should.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Soy is atrocious, never gotten into it. Had some pretty tasty vegan meals here and there but my carnivorous spirit burns strong (and dairy is my lifeblood, truly). But Iceland (which still uses fossil fuels for stuff like transportation, mind you, which means the overall energy mix is way more than 0.1% fossil fuels) is literally a few hundred thousand rich people on a volcanic island. Not a good example for the rest of the planet.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Everywhere you go has problems Poly. You guys are doing a pretty damn good job relatively speaking. Also, hypo: One guy has $100 and another guy has $10 vs. both of them having $5. Which is preferable and why?
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd It was back-and-forth in shoutboxes. But feel free to creep anytime maybe you'll uncover that I genuinely honest to god think early Avril is great music.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd It isn't required to be a competitive athlete generally speaking, but it is 100% a biological necessity to be a performer at the utmost elite level. It was a trick question cause none of those major US sports has a single vegan (or even vegetarian) athlete that even plays in games. I'm not suggesting you need them to live (obviously), but they are proven for peak performance of the human body.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd BTW NZ is fairly libertarian in the scheme of things. Pretty pro-capitalism as a society and a nice place to live.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Yes, US figures. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/09/08/who-makes-minimum-wage/ It's very, very, very rare to see what you are talking about as a life career and would suggest language issues or some genuine disability being responsible tbh. And, as I said, I support a negative income tax for that incredibly small group that can't through good faith effort get their heads above water.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd Also, where did that come from? You creepin' on my convo with Storm? Poly stop creepin'.
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd My turn. Serious question... who is the best vegan professional athlete in the NBA, NFL, NHL, or MLB?
|
| GhostOfSarcasticBtrd The vast majority of minimum wage or sub (in right to work states) min. wage jobs are short-lived, part-time, and transition jobs. They aren't life sentences. Also, yes, some people (the mentally retarded, e.g.) would need long-term assistance, but I'm not arguing for a 100% absence of a safety net. I want a negative income tax.
|
 | AsleepInTheBack No worries man haha. Thanks! For modern inspiration artists like Alex pardee are a big influence, but of older stuff I love dali and van Gogh. And that sounds awesome man, would love to read it when it's finished.
|
 | Frippertronics Brilliant Trees and go on chronologically. An alternative, check his compilation A Victim of Stars, which covers his stuff from the 80s to 2012, including some collaborations, a remix of Ghosts, from his old band Japan, and more.
|
| Ryus lmao thanks dude
|
| JigglyPDiddy The day I see Björk live... Man, I'm going to burst into tears once she hits the stage. She is THE queen of music.
|
| JigglyPDiddy Omggggggg, I need that in my life all too badly. -dead-
|
| JigglyPDiddy Thank LordPots for a lot of those recs. Haha. His lists have helped me discover a lot of awesome music! My favorite Swans record has to be To Be Kind at this point in time, to be completely honest. It used to be White Light, then Soundtracks for the longest time, but To Be Kind just encompasses Swans in such a beautiful and mind-melting manner imo. The Glowing Man and Seer also rule. You're from Iceland?? That's amazing! How does it feel to be from the same place as my favorite singer? Haha
|
| JigglyPDiddy If my writing seem's wobbly or drunken it's because I'm deprived of sleep at the moment. Haha. Goodnight and happy sputniking!
|
| JigglyPDiddy Hey! Thanks for the lovely comments. I reckon you got mighty fine taste too based on those examples. Well, as of now I've gotten more and more into the realms of triphop, hip-hop and such. Based on Swans I can't give you much recs other than Gira's side-projects or Jarboe's solo work since they're basically the world's most unique band. (Yeah, I really love me some Swans.) Anywho, listen to some INI, Nujabes, Massive Attack, Quasimoto, DOOM, Ghostface, Eric B
|
 | SandwichBubble Glad you liked Deerhoof man. Definitely check out the rest of their discography :)
|
| zakalwe Hi dude. Yeah I think I checked it due to his collab with King Creosote which I love but can't recall much of his solo stuff. I'll give it another whirl.
|
| AmericanFlagAsh What do you think of the FLips? Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin are two of the best albums ever imo.
|
| ArsMoriendi Well I honestly don't think the entire album was trying to be experimental. For instance Hard Coming Love was released as a single. Also yeah I like wacky stuff idk.
|
| Frippertronics cool s*** dude, the sound on that album had its roots in his debut with "Ink In The Well". dude has a flawless discog imo, will check that album soon
|
| ArsMoriendi Early* not easily. You have to remember that for the year this came out (1968) electronic rock with samples was unheard of
|
| ArsMoriendi I wouldn't say The American Metaphysical Circus and The American Way of Love are superficial, the first meshed two songs together into cacophony, and the other experimented heavily with samples in a time where musicians barely had used them. The album in general is a very easily example of electronic rock (from 68 respectively) which is experimental in itself.
|
| AmericanFlagAsh Hey, yeah I've been digging case/lang/veirs a lot. Very good collaboration between three songwriters. Great, chill chamber folk / americana vibes. Also, can't seem to put Car Seat Headrest's newest down. You?
|
| ArsMoriendi If you say so, hope you enjoy my rec, it changes genres a lot lol
|
| ArsMoriendi The Divine Punishment was really interesting, but also simultaneously tortuous to listen to. Man did it drone on and on and on and on and when it sounded like it was going to end it went on and on and on and on. It's cool that she was trying to raise awareness about AIDs though.
|
| ArsMoriendi Wtf is this Diamanda Galas album you reccomended me haha
|
 | rabidfish it gets kinda same-y for me, but I dig it anyways, nice atmosphere overall
|
| rabidfish I mean, it's allright... reminds me of techno animal in its cold, icy textures and minimal beats.
|
| SandwichBubble All Seeing Hand album was a pretty great rec. Definitely right up my alley. A few tracks were just a bit slow, you know? Good listen nonetheless (The Claw, Empty Road were particularly great).
|
 | ellagos Thanks dude I'll give it a spin :)
|
 | TVC15 Ah k so my favs are definitely the first two tracks and the second Happiness in Slavery remix Screaming Slave
|
| AsleepInTheBack in truth I do enjoy learning about the law, but I like to complain about it just because I think they overwork us. But I'm sure most students think that haha. Ah nice one, I considered journalism a while back but never went down that route. Awesome that you're working on a novel, what's it about? Id always planned on being a artist/painter myself, been put on hold for my legal training though over the next few years after uni
|
| AsleepInTheBack ah fair enough, sounds a bit rough. I had that to a far lesser extent when we moved from the south to the north so my dad could find work when I was 9, but still the same country so it wasn't too destabilising. Regrettably Law haha. Are you also a student?
|
| AsleepInTheBack can you explain why you can't explain? or is that also inexplicable? at the moment I live in yorkshire, though I'll be moving down to Cambridge in a few years for a post-grad job
|
| AsleepInTheBack The UK. I suppose we're an hour ahead of you guys as its 2:15 here now
|
| AsleepInTheBack I would if I had alcohol man, I really would, despite the fact its 1:30 pm.
|
| AsleepInTheBack It is indeed, and more easily done I think when you're in your early teens as I was when I first heard it
|
| TVC15 Also bought the CD for $3.95 so I'm super pumped about that too
|
| TVC15 Despite the fact that I've heard it a few times now, they I was in class so it was more like a 40 minute wall of noise each time through. I have a general idea of what I liked most but I'll have to listen to it while looking at the tracklisting to say which tracks I liked the most.
|
| TVC15 What really makes it for me is the insane production job on all of the remixes
|
| TVC15 Been listening to Fixed all day in my classes (with earbuds obviously hah). I'm so glad you got me to listen to it! Hope I could find any of the few copies of the album I've seen at the record store
|
| ArsMoriendi I'm listening to the first track right now and I so far it's pretty great, might just have to listen to it all today haha
|
| ArsMoriendi Ever check this: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/The-United-States-of-America/6062/ ? It's a 5 in my book and I think you'd like it.
|
 | AngryLittleAlchemist ive only played 1-3 extensively. i dont have a ps3 for demon's souls and never got around to bloodborne
|
| AngryLittleAlchemist that bloodborne pic really brings out the pretention in you in the best way possible
|
| ArsMoriendi Wonderful Rainbow was pretty good, though I was slightly turned off by how homogenous it sounded... even if every song was great in the same way.
|
 | BlueFlame Thanks dude! You don't know how much I appreciate these recommendations :p! When I find the time, i'll listen to them and get back to you buddy!
|
| BlueFlame TALKING HEADS? Remain in light is my favorite album ever :P ! The lyrics, the singing! I also love California, but I haven't checked anything else from Talking Heads or Mr.Bungle! Shame. Thanks for the recs!
|
| BlueFlame Huh? Thanks man! By the way, nice username :p I never got around to that ep though tbh. Well, I was thinking that Swans and Animal Collective sound pretty nice! What would be a good start for them? I've heard sooooooooo much about them so i'm a bit excited! Any recs are appreciated though :p And nice! Lightning Bolt is great!
|
| AngryLittleAlchemist Hey Polly what's up? You seem to have very good taste in music if the average of your favorite albums says anything, and we agree on some things like NIN and some Radiohead. I'm trying to expand my horizons and so I was wondering if there's any album you think I should check out?
|
| ArsMoriendi Well I've been enjoying Flipper's Gone Fishin' lately, though I'd check Generic Flipper (their debut) first if you're interested in Flipper since it's better.
|
| ArsMoriendi Ooh that looks really interesting. I'll make sure I check it out sometime this September!
|
 | Gyromania iceland!? you lucky sob : P and yeah, bloodborne is for sure a masterpiece. my only real gripe is that it's a little too monochromatic for its own good. it's gorgeous in its lovecraftian design, sort of overwhelmingly dreary and homogeneous as a result. small complaint though because the game is god-tier. i spent a good 2 hours last night trying to beat orphan of kos on ng 7. what a nightmare - and i mean that in the best possible way lol. for as much as this thing pwns me, it's still a fave
|
| Gyromania lol! that's hilarious. yeah i took this pic a while ago from my ps4 : P huge souls/bloodborne fan here. i'd argue they're the best games ever made
|
 | CalculatingInfinity If you're intrested in buying Of Natural History: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1040187
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts yeah so the all seeing hand - mechatronics. mind blown.
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts free jazz fusion experimental stuff with throat singing ;] one of the coolest albums of the year so far
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts wow long time no see! and yeah that sounds like something i would certainly recommend. look this up on bandcamp: Arrington de Dionyso with Gal Lazer Shiloach Lovers and Dragons
|
| Lord(e)Po)))ts glad you checked it out dude, you should grab his next 2 albums if you digged it!
|
 | ethos that first song's pretty interesting lol, lots of stuff feels ... out of place?? i guess but it works too which is kinda funny. i'll look into em for sure, they've probably got some real cool ideas i'd enjoy hearing. plus i saw a few familiar youtube faces in the comment section so that's always a great sign.. lmao the "mmMmmmmMmmmmM ; bleep: blooop" post some dude made got me pretty good
|
| ethos nah bud, what should i check out by them?? (= oh, and here! world of echo: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ole21ndcjpsq1s8/i listened to this in 4th grade.zip // hmm also take night shift cause i think you'd enjoy: http://www.mediafire.com/download/megke7pkdj4m0be/niTE Nite.zip
|
| ethos how is world of echo treating you?
|
 | ashn0ted hey, if you've got an email or skype handle to send my way it'd be cool if we could have a chat.
|
 | Sleaper since ur a fan and all of immunity, check out moderats new LP called ii. the tracks with vocals kinda suck, but the ones without... amazing.
|
 | klap i have it in my itunes but haven't had a chance yet. will report back when i do
|
 | LilLioness Did you read my shout? I honestly really dig the sudden transition from relatively bright sounding indie rock/pop to seriously sinister s*** that occurs in the midsection. I LOVE curveballs.
|
| LilLioness So I have been listening to the new Akron/Family and am kinda surprised by its reception. Is it just me or is it one of the better albums so far this year?
|
 | ethixx songs are incredible, i agree. abby doing something with the next one would be awesome.
|
| ethixx basically tl;dr love the music, visuals are eh. anything animal collective does is genius, sooo lol doesn't really matter. fun release for them.. hope they do more of it in the future - they'll definitely improve.
|
| ethixx i'm not really all for oddsac, it's my least favorite animal collective release next to merriweather. but that might have a lot to do with how much i usually dislike visuals accompanied with sound/music. just doesn't hit anywhere as hard for me as their other stuff. i like the movie itself, i just feel like the music they chose and stuff wasn't working correctly. i can't expect that from them though lol, they're musicians not directors/script writers.
|
| ethixx And Prospect Hummer/People.. some of their other EPs / Panda Bear's really early stuff.
|
| ethixx Yeah, I love it. Only animal collective related album I don't believe are 5s are Centipede Hz and Merriweather Post Pavilion.
|
 | VlacDrac SAW 85-92 needs to be a 5, though.
|
| VlacDrac So, you like Mike Patton's projects?
|
 | Minus. Yeah man, i think Muse will have to grow on me. It's undeniable that they have some good stuff, but some of it just doesnt sit well with me.
|
| Minus. I finally listened to Muse's entire collection.
|
 | MeatSalad thom's always got my back, what a good guy
|
| MeatSalad It's just, none of them are anything better or worse than a 4, there's nothing I can do about it!
