ScuroFantasma 09.28.14	welcome to sputnik man
BobbleHeadbutt 09.28.14	thanks, ive been comin here daily for a while so i thought i should finally make an account :)
CalculatingInfinity 09.28.14	Hello, enjoy your time here. It's awesome minus some awful shitposting and stupidity/ignorance :]
Archelirion 09.28.14	Pretty much what Calc said. Get's a bit heated occasionally, but we're all one big happy family in the end :P
emester 09.28.14	We're Like a conglomerate of idiots on here :D Welcome to the site!
BobbleHeadbutt 09.28.14	Thanks for the humble welcomes guys. I'm looking forward to my time here. From what I've seen, as long as you don't bad-mouth Radiohead or such, it shouldn't get that heated :D
MuhNamesTyler 09.28.14	Hi :)
Hurricanslash 09.28.14	Well hey there! I also can second everything Calc, Aaron and emester said. xP And don't worry about Radiohead, we got you ;)
BertMacklinFBI 09.28.14	Someone bad mouthing Radiohead on Sputnik is the last of your worries. Welcome to hell.
ChoccyPhilly 09.28.14	Welcome! try not to let our awful personalities get to you
eddie95 09.28.14	Man anything else by DM is better than 4. Anyway, welcome to Sput and may this site be gentle to you!
osmark86 09.28.14	welcome to the site. as most of my peers have mentioned it's somewhat of a dunghole at times, but generally a sweet haven on the interwebs. probs for FF. that album is splendid.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Thanks everyone. Gonna try to comment on more stuff eventually and get more involved in this family :) Plus i know its gonna be hell at some points. I am prepared...
Lethean 09.29.14	"Welcome! try not to let our awful personalities get to you" speak for yourself
Judio! 09.29.14	Hey welcome jam Converge
BMDrummer 09.29.14	welcome to sput, don't take us too seriously
Greyvy 09.29.14	if your looking for friends im taking applications :)
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	I'LL BE EVERYONE'S FRIEND! thanks Judio for the rec. Great instrumentals, and the vocals are growing on me :)
Snake. 09.29.14	jam Cursive
pedro70512 09.29.14	I find that Isis and The Ocean always have something that fits my mood. I could make it on a desert island between those two.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	@SnakeDelilah - great indie vibe :) @pedro - ive never really jammed sludge metal before, but i like what i hear :)
pedro70512 09.29.14	oh wicked, you actually took a look at them. glad to hear you like it so far.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	I love checking out new jams in basically any genre. In things I'm not exactly used to like sludge metal, it gives me a good place to start :)
pedro70512 09.29.14	...I like this guy. You can stay.
wacknizzle 09.29.14	"ive never really jammed sludge metal before, but i like what i hear :)" We got a convert! now jam Rorcal and Amenra
pedro70512 09.29.14	are you trying to scare him away? XD
wacknizzle 09.29.14	I compare it to wrecking volcanoes into toy planes, sounds fun to me
pedro70512 09.29.14	... I've got nothing.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	I AM BEING ACCEPTED! Never really converted from anything though, never really "hated" a genre or was tied to one specifically. and wacknizzle... atmospheric stuff, well done :)
Flugmorph 09.29.14	I can listen to deftones and have a good time. Everytime...
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Flugmorph, I'm sure that applies to A LOT of people, haha :D
pedro70512 09.29.14	atmospheric is best mood setter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY6ZznzDoRE
Flugmorph 09.29.14	It better be bobble
DrMaximus 09.29.14	Welcome, jam Ulcerate.
pedro70512 09.29.14	moaropeth
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	@pedro - it seems foreign countries automatically make good bands xD @Flugmorph - NEW CATCHPHRASE?!? @DrMaximus - thanks. good rec as ive been jamming death metal lately :)
wacknizzle 09.29.14	European post-metal/sludge/bm/dm/hardcore in general is awesome
pedro70512 09.29.14	I'm pretty sure that's exactly what's going on. some of my favorite bands are from Germany, France, New Zealand, Finland, Switzerland, England, Sweden, Canada, Australia, Greece, Norway...and the rest are from California
pedro70512 09.29.14	wack knows exactly who the NZ representative is
Flugmorph 09.29.14	Gonna catch 'em all? What bobble?
wacknizzle 09.29.14	Belgian and French too Ye
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Flugmorph, what did you mean by it better be bobble?
Flugmorph 09.29.14	That a lot of humans listen the fuck out of the def....wait for it...tones
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	I've only found bands in Sweden, Norway and Germany that I can remember off the top of my head (haha, not that good, i know). Also canadian bands are fun to listen to after everyone knocks Nickelback, its just like "yeah, well we have THESE GUYS too, geez."
pedro70512 09.29.14	my dorm mate loved Deftones and it pissed him off when I intentionally called them Deft Ones. made for good sport.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	oh yeah, ok Flugmorph. I just read it wrong xD It seems on Sput the BIG names involve Deftones, Opeth and Radiohead :D
pedro70512 09.29.14	don't forget Godspeed and Dream Theater
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	honestly, the first time i saw 'Deftones', i had no idea how to say it
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Haven't really heard Godspeed. Gonna have to jam.
pedro70512 09.29.14	jam might not be the right word, but you should definitely do that. F#A# is a crazy experience.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Do you recommend it over skinny fists? i see skinny fists around here more often than F#A#
pedro70512 09.29.14	I personally prefer it...they're very different. F#A# is full of samples and stories and spoken word pieces all put together like a collage. Skinny Fists is more consistent in its sound -- strings, brass, percussion, synthesizer, more strings. I think it could have been chopped down some, since the middle of the album gets a little droney and overly repetitive.
pedro70512 09.29.14	oh, and Swans. people here get off to Swans.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	thanks for the summaries. ill make sure to listen to both. ah yes, Swans, lots of Swans mentioned.
pedro70512 09.29.14	no problem man, I can talk music all night, haha. I've got reviews scattered around the site's metal bits.
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	hey, as long as your here, have you got any advice for writing reviews? i recently added an artist to sputnik and was thinking of doing a review for one of the albums.
pedro70512 09.29.14	uh yeah, sure. anything in particular you'd like pointers on? rule #1: Sputnik hates track-by- tracks. I tend to approach my reviews with certain questions in mind and then answer them with points from the album. some typical ones are "who is the artist?", "what is the context of the album?", "what are they trying to do / did they accomplish it?", and "who would like this?". I look at the instruments and composition, what techniques the band leans on, and what makes the standout songs good. as a musician, I throw in some technical and theory analysis also. quotes from the band are also useful. if you can get some or most of that in, the reader can understand the album from a number of angles and it makes for interesting reviews.
Flugmorph 09.29.14	But u can use the phrase if u want ^^
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Haha, thanks Flugmorph :)
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Thanks for the advice! I already have a 'scaffold' of sorts from an assignment from school. I just needed some pointers on how to make it effective around Sputnik.
pedro70512 09.29.14	cool, good luck with it! give me a shout when it's posted. two more things: be careful with recs, because people get up in arms in a hurry about that, and expect downvotes. everyone gets negged eventually (and sometimes arbitrarily).
BobbleHeadbutt 09.29.14	Ok will do. Again, really appreciate the advice :)
Phlegm 09.29.14	Hi there! welcome to the site :-)
Flugmorph 09.29.14	Good luck with your first review
