  • mandan I just wanted to tell you: you were right. Hearing an album several times helps to appreciate it more, although that can work both ways. You can either like it more or dislike it more (or a bit of both in some cases).Anyways, I see you have a varied taste, which is interesting.

  • FearThyEvil Don't bother arguing with Sitar. Just like he's shown in the Periphery thread, he's shown how retarded he is. A lot of people attacked that dumbass statement he made on the For Today other than you pointing out how dumb it was.
    December 15 03:04 AM
  • FearThyEvil I'm glad I read your comment more thoroughly in the periphery thread because I read it wrong and thought you were attacking me. Completely wrong and you backed me up. Sitar is being a ****ing idiot. This isn't the first time he's gone full retard though.

  • heyadam You're in for a ridiculous Chariot show if you are seeing them at The Basement. I'm so jealous. I'm from the Cleveland area but I go to school in California so I won't be able to catch them in Ohio, I'll have to see them in SoCal.

  • loveisamixtape finally got around to checking out Overgrown (cus of your rec) and i like it a lot. some of his falsetto notes make me scratch my head tho hahah
    June 16 07:40 PM
  • Frippertronics thanks for the constructive criticism, I redid the intro and ending and hopefully is better. Dig the profile picture though.

  • Xenophanes I dropped my plans because they've said that they don't really plan to tour much after this string of dates. So there's no way of knowing when I'll get the opportunity to see them again. And DEP is gonna rule. There are so many bands coming soon: Floor (tonight), KEN Mode on Tuesday, Ice Age, Goatwhore, Kvelertak, The Red Paintings, Hrvrd, Murder By Death, Daughter, Foals, Father John Misty, Melvins, Torche, Kylesa, The Hush Sound, and that's up until June.

  • Xenophanes Man you going to see streetlight manifesto on Saturday. Will make the fact that I'm missing TDH hurt less.
    April 4 11:50 PM
  • HillaryClitTounge uh i appreciate you trying to help me i guess but u dont have to be such an assumptive asshole... like recommend a pair of headphones and move on, I didn't ask for your financial advice.

  • mangasm I hate your soundoffs
    March 22 02:21 AM
  • toxin. dude half of your name is missing!!
    March 21 07:17 PM
  • Xenophanes Whooooa Chariot are coming here? Or elsewhere? And the same thing happened to me with Circa Survive. I had a choir concert and had to drop my boyfriend off at the airport so there was no way that I could make it.
    March 18 07:00 PM
  • Xenophanes You going to see Laura on Wednesday?????
    March 18 06:51 PM
  • SAPoodle Thanks man, I'll do it justice I promise!
    March 17 02:21 PM
  • SAPoodle Hey man. I just wanted to check with you first before I go ahead with reviewing How I Loved You by Angels of Light because I remember you saying you wanted to review their discography? Is that alright?
    March 17 02:08 PM
  • Xenophanes And I support your vying for Contrib. You're a solid writer, so as long as you cover new and interesting releases you should be gold.
    March 15 07:16 PM
  • Xenophanes Haaaaate that I missed it....
    March 15 07:14 PM
  • Jom Just wanted to touch base with you to acknowledge that I saw your message. This is actually an ongoing process, believe it or not, so my suggestion is almost always to keep doing what you're doing in terms of reviewing and interacting on the site. Exploration out of your comfort zone can also help you in finding your niche as a writer (e.g. covering new releases when that's something that may not be your cup of tea).
    March 6 07:05 PM
  • altforazninva5in "I know what he told you but I have no alts and I negged some of his earlier reviews because they weren't good. I'm not az either. "Oh this wasn't about me? My bad
    March 4 08:03 PM
  • altforazninva5in Disclaimer: I never claimed to be your alt. Ever. Question: Why did you neg my reviews? What is wrong with my writing?
    March 4 08:00 PM
  • skeletorissatan It had G and B in it for sure dude might have been GBA but im not convinced. Anyway, yeah, apologies dude =) also , dont go telling people, but IM SuicidalPrincess haha its an alt i mad ewhen i was banned but i want to review things on it WITHOUT the skele hate influencing peoples opinion haha
    March 4 06:56 PM
  • skeletorissatan It's fine man. I apologise for accusing you then. I just wasn't really thinking straight particularly after having somewhat of a long argument with you and then that az twat yesterday. I'm just fed up of all this bulls***, most people who hate on me don't even REALIZE why people originally started hating on me-before the videos even.
    March 4 06:43 PM
  • Atari it's all good i believe you. i shouldn't just make assumptions like that without actual proof anyways so sorry about that. but yeah his reviews aren't perfect i just feel like people could offer suggestions for improvement rather than just blindly negging them.
    March 4 06:40 PM
  • Atari my bad on the accusation. I just feel like if people would stop picking on skeletor he would tone it down. i realize he can be annoying but he obviously really likes to be a part of this site people should just let him do his thing he's obviously not going anywhere lol
    March 4 06:32 PM
  • skeletorissatan az claimed he was your alt in a thread and Willie confirmed he was an alt.
    March 4 06:28 PM
  • skeletorissatan you're az-G.M.B. is his name as well. I can loopfeed Command Prompt so i can see EXACTLY who negged each review, that's why i shoutboxed you because i know you have been doing it. 1 of 10 on my blink review is taking the piss when it's actually the best one for that album. im not being a bighead either, its true if you read them.im jut saying, quit it. one more neg and im going to get you to 1% and i wont get banned because jom has said in med thread if people provoke me then im free to troll
    March 4 06:22 PM
  • skeletorissatan good job negging me that hard. Keep it up, youl get 1% approval. No joke, i have 200 alts. I could easily get you to 1%. So quit it.
    March 4 06:04 PM
  • xandermander Dude how ****ing weird is it that TDEP are playing at A
    February 26 04:48 PM
  • silentpotato your album is Elysian Fields-Queen of the Meadow
    February 20 06:04 AM
  • Atari did you find a stream for the new silverstein album?
    January 31 04:13 AM
  • Spec Awesome Christmas present.
    December 26 03:55 AM
  • Spec Thanks dude I really appreciate it. Ill get it next time I'm home.
    December 26 03:47 AM
  • Xenophanes I'm pretty sure its an at the door type thing. Kobo is a weird as place to have this, but they aren't really big so I guess not. I personally don't like the venue :/
    December 19 02:33 AM
  • Xenophanes Of course. I try and hit every decent show that cones around. Luckily, this us way better than decent
    December 17 03:14 AM
  • breakingthefragile Awesome man thanks, and just this part: "Even after 30 years, Swans are still at their creative peak." It really can't be said any better than how you said it. I was just thinking of saying something along the lines of: "something that was best stated by my fellow Sputnik memeber ILJAJLM" and then the quote.
    December 3 03:26 AM
  • breakingthefragile Dude, the summary of your review of The Seer brings up such a great point that explains an aspect of why the album is so amazing, and it states it just perfectly. May I please include it in the blurb I write for the album for the user's end of the year list? I'm obviously going to put it in quotations and cite you as the person credited for saying it. It's just that you said it the best way anyone could have.
    December 3 03:18 AM
  • GaryJohnson2012 wah someone disagrees with me and is smarter and can actually defend their opinion waaah ban him
    November 8 09:39 PM
  • Bro, look at my avatar in posts, its the IcyTits album cover! Set your avatar too it, a bunch of us are.
    October 24 05:04 AM
  • Xenophanes East Hastings is perfect. i still haven't heard "Behemoth," but it's cool that you got to hear it, considering it may be awhile before it gets released.
    October 16 09:31 PM
  • Xenophanes oh s***! How was that??
    October 16 09:24 PM
  • Xenophanes Aw man I'm sorry to hear : [Something like that happened to me with another show. Super salty about it : [
    October 16 09:08 PM
  • Xenophanes Please tell me you were at Converge, man.
    October 16 06:02 PM
  • Yuli When do you think Parallax 2 will be streaming?
    September 28 07:55 PM
  • jdennis31 hey put a new list up if you wanna throw in your picks
    September 26 05:48 PM
  • Yuli Absolutely man. ;] I heard it once in order, and once on shuffle (bad idea when you barely know the music, it all runs together) but yeah, I'm gonna write a positive review for it soon. Veeery excited.
    September 22 02:05 AM
  • Yuli We agree on BTBAM, and like every other album in the world it seems haha.
    September 21 06:06 PM
  • Titan cheers!
    September 21 04:49 PM
  • Xenophanes I got talk talk "laughing stock," say anything "is a real boy," and Elliott smith.Oh man if they played Ocean of Apathy I'm gonna be pissed at myself -_-
    September 6 02:51 PM
  • Xenophanes They are separate, and sadly I may have to miss Fiona because damn it's over $40, compared to the $10 Mono haha. I would so like to see her though, but with Converge, Say Anything, and others, idk if I can swing it financially : /And no I didn't end up going. I actually bought three excellent vinyl records this week and as bad as it sounds I'm a broke ass college student and didn't want to thrown down another $20. Did you go, and if so how was it?
    September 6 01:16 PM
  • Xenophanes Mono and Fiona Apple are coming to Columbus. I expect you to tell me these things, other Columbus user wtf???
    September 6 02:05 AM
  • CaptainDooRight I enjoy writing, supporting good music, and sharing it so yaheeee yaheeee. took almost a month off a while ago and got some juice to write so ill use it up until i loose it again na mean

  • Xenophanes I know! I'm starting The Seer again right now and won't be able to finish it before I go to work....at 5! Lol
    July 24 07:17 PM
  • Xenophanes This is my first experience with the band. It's bizarre which is why I'm sticking with it. Very unique which is what I'm digging.
    July 24 06:48 PM
  • Xenophanes new swans is really your AOTY so far??? There are parts I love and parts I find mleh. Most of the time I'm waiting for something to happen. But I will not give up, I wouldn't be surprised if it blows me away soon.
    July 24 06:28 PM
  • nash1311 Although I thought they were slightly better than average due to their vocalist, they are super forgettable.
    July 23 05:12 PM
  • nash1311 Came to comment on your ratings of wolves at the gate. Couldn't agree more.
    July 23 05:09 PM
  • WeepingBanana Your assignment is JEFF The Brotherhood - Hypnotic Nights
    July 19 12:04 PM
  • Yuli hey dude, could you shoutbox me the link for the new Contortionist? I have a flight bright and early tomorrow, and i'm trying to gather music to make it go by easier.
    July 11 10:16 PM
  • BirthRite what does " tl;dring" mean?
    July 11 10:15 PM
  • Gyromania that is indeed what i mean, and no worries.
    July 10 10:39 PM
  • Gyromania your dp is so friggin awesome.
    July 10 09:52 PM
  • nononsense haha oh, okay. That's what I thought, just making sure.
    July 8 03:49 AM
  • nononsense I know BB King is not rap. It was part of the joke.
    July 8 03:30 AM
  • sspedding Cheers mate, Februus' average rating certainly reflects how great it is. In a sea of bands doing the whole 'djent' thing they found a sound that is totally unique to them and that takes some doing.
    July 5 07:32 AM
  • Xenophanes Yeah I had a midterm for 152 that evening as well :(
    May 22 01:32 PM
  • Xenophanes Lol I don't remember man. Er, specific day? Yes, because I thought I saw you walk past me at University Hall (most generic building name omgaw)
    May 22 03:14 AM
  • Xenophanes Dude bumping my creepiness into overdrive here, but were you by chance wearing a St. Vincent shirt? I was gonna say nice shirt but didn't wanna seem creepy...and then I thought, wait a minute that was probably a sputfag

  • MarkTheDead I like your tunes, bro.
    March 13 04:08 PM
  • Xenophanes Yeah I work ath the Bio/Pharm Library most nights, which happen to be when all the good shows are. Can't believe I missed last night's show : / Are you in Bio 114 with Dr. taylor?And I'm a Zoology major. You?
    March 9 05:14 AM
  • Xenophanes I try to go to shows when I can. last year I went to Opeth and Circa Survive, so that was awesome. Still kicking myself for missing Thrice when they came to Newport though. Had to work : P I'm a 4th year actually, hopefully graduating in the fall. But yeah, you're seriously the first person I've met on here from C-bus, let alone OSU haha
    March 9 05:04 AM
  • Xenophanes I honestly thought I was the only one out the 60,000 of us to be a sputniker actually lol.
    March 9 04:28 AM
  • Xenophanes Also, not to be a creeper, but do you by chance also attend Ohio State? I realize there are more places you can be taking a Bio Final other than OSU, but we have finals about this time as well.
    March 8 11:45 PM
  • Xenophanes YOu missed the Columbus show because of a Biology Lab final? I missed it because of a Cell Biology final. Coincidence holy ****

  • PiratesWithHats Nice man! Where in Ohio do you live?
    January 23 01:46 PM
  • BaselineOOO Nah, get them they're very good and not so hard to drive, just make sure you will amp then in a future, get the fiio e11 or PA2V2 if you want them for portable use. Can't recommend you any amp for PC use though.
