 | Deviant. Man I knew that comment would come back to bite me in the ass THREE YEARS LATER!! Jom's the man you need to see about gif avatars, I can never get the damn things to work. Tell him I sent you
|
 | DaveyBoy Hey hey. My pc has crapped itself, so havent listened to music in the past week. When Im back up and running, I will try to remember to give it a listen.
|
 | fromtheinside we should do something big one of these months. i dunno. get back to me
|
 | klap klap dat ass. so much good music 2nd half of the year wait for it
|
| DaveyBoy Hey Dougie, what do you think of that Vance Joy song or EP. Cant believe the guy was playing footy for Coburg two years ago and now has a major label US contract. I might blog or review.
|
 | toxin. lol alright sweet sowing's gone chan's more or less gone, all the swifties are leaving
|
 | Aids best shoutbox post in forever, missed you babe
|
| toxin. are you leaving sputnik 4ever
|
| Aids uh oh dude imma get my boot ready. or maybe it was crowbar, I forget which meaningless threat I used in that thread. also, sup. I listened to that thingy that you drummed on and it was swee
|
 | BallsToTheWall Do you have a link for Something For Kate Leave Your Soul To Science?
|
 | Sowing Does feel like yesterday bro. How've you been? Thanks for the rec sure I'll dig it!
|
| Deviant. Staff can't feature reviews, sorry man. You can shoutbox Trey if you want, or just ask in the meds thread
|
| Deviant. I know dougie recs? What are you after man, electronic stuff?
|
 | Jethro42 scuse me dude, do you know where I could find the forum page that shows up all the trick to bold and typing in italic and s.hit? Thanks!
|
| klap maybe man i'm really busy atm though. what happened to silveri?
|
| DaveyBoy If u r bored. 369566-239495 - fantasy.premierleague.com
|
 | crazyblinddude Hmm completely forgot you can do that! Thanks man! That album still kicks ass.
|
| crazyblinddude Hey man. This is kinda an odd thing to ask, but could you post up "Man of the Moment" somewhere I can download it? Cuz the song I have has a slight flaw in it that really ruins the flow of the song for me and I have no chance of finding the actual LP where I am at. Sorry if this comes off as odd.
|
 | Kiran and if you don't like them, then damn you i'll find something you do
|
| Kiran well, here's a couple albums that are relatively unique and good that i hope you'll like: benoit pioulard - precis, beirut - the flying club cup, the lawrence arms - oh calcutta, yo la tengo - i am not afraid of you and i will beat your ass
|
| Kiran thanks :) and i'd love to. any sound in particular or just general albums worth highly recommending?
|
 | Knott- lol no i can barely play this thing!
|
| DaveyBoy U r obsessed with the man. Chances are I will NOT be there. I'm intrigued by his live show, more than anything else. If that makes sense. Plus, I hate you for your team making me the most bored last Sunday for the entirety of my life.
|
 | Fugue ahh, well when I'm working my ass off, you'll be living it up lol, it's all relative.
|
| Fugue Ahh yeah, I know all about the uni overloading, luckily I've just hit easter break so I have 2 whole weeks off, the bliss!
|
| Fugue The chick in my avatar is Ellie Gouliding man, and damn right orgasm, Miranda Kerr is basically perfect. How you doing Dougie, been a long time since I've seen you around on the site and all. You gonna be doing an Afl tipping league again?
|
| DaveyBoy Ooh yeah, know how it feels when it first kicks in around March. Good luck with it all.
|
| DaveyBoy Dougie, youve been quiet of late. Professional roadie maybe. Hey, since you like Silversun so much, try The Joy Formidable. Female vocals but sort of similar musically.
|
 | Hey Doug, Carus has a new album coming out called 'Caravan' early next month. if you're keen on a copy give me a shout at will@heapsaflash.com.au. Cheers mate.
|
| DaveyBoy Haha. My comment got cut off. It went on to say and show them my review. They will shout you a beer at least. Maybe cut off the bits about mistakes though.
|
| DaveyBoy What a strange little show. I guess Emery will support that one
|
| DaveyBoy Even more confused now. Link...
|
| DaveyBoy Ok, now u r confusing me. R u talking about the Good Friday show at The Corner Hotel in Richmond.
|
| DaveyBoy I am spewing that unfortunately I cant. Its Easter long weekend and a group of us always goes away that long weekend. Didn't know Switchfoot were supporting.
|
| Deviant. I've already been through it ;)
|
| Deviant. Hey man, I have a favor to ask regarding the upcoming user 2010 feature. Would I be able to grab your email so I can discuss it with you?
|
 | tombits Anyway I thought Tame Impala killed it, Dan Sultan was great, Cloud Control were cool before I fell asleep, Marina and the Diamonds were fun and Public Opinion Afro Orchestra put on the funnest 2am tribal African ever (and also the only one I've ever seen, funny that).
|
| tombits I was stoned during the National and I just stood there in awe. The singer was just getting more and more wasted, it was intense. But yeah they were fabulous. With the Middle East, I loved the first song (the crazy new one with that big screamy buildup) and the Darkest Side was beautiful, but I thought the rest of the set was a little lackluster. The new material seems to be basically traditional folk and it didn't really click, but we'll wait for the record and see if it clicks.
|
| tombits Yeah it was amazing man, i thought it was way better than pyramid last year. I had an unfortunate spewing session the first night and missed the living end, but after that I pulled my head in a bit and had a ball.
|
| DaveyBoy I get the feeling that Nicky Dal may get some ribbing on the field in 2011.
|
| DaveyBoy Hey, know any 17 year old girls who can take a photo?
|
| crazyblinddude Ha alright dude. I actually managed to find that one and Overture and Underscore. I'll look into her more.
|
| crazyblinddude Hey, Doug, I was just wondering if you happened to have some of the albums for Sarah Blasko. I remembered you rec'd her in your review for Silje Nes and I was trying to find some of her albums, since I really liked the sound. But I couldn't find any of her albums anywhere, expect for 'As the Day Follows Night.'
|
| DaveyBoy Trust me, we forgot all about the dollars while we were there. Have to be that way while traveling.
|
| DaveyBoy Yeah, I am back. Actually got back from the expensive paradise known as Tahiti last Monday, but was up in Sydney for a few days catching up with friends. All went as well as we could have hoped. Back to reality now. Sputnik, work and CREDIT CARD BILLS.
|
 | lachis Yeah, I agree with your rating/review of the EP. It's pretty solid. Hahaha, yeah...initially she did flirt back. I screwed it though, misunderstood what she said and i thought she was blowing me off. Minutes later I would work out that she wasn't...too late. bwt, i enjoy your reviews man, especially about the man Paul Dempsey. Keep it up.
|
 | Eclectic Nah mate, waiting on a better internet connection (a permanent one this time, as well) which will be arriving next week. Should be able to download their stuff on Monday.
|
| lachis Ahh ok, I just assumed you were. How did you hear about the band? I only know of them because I unknowingly hit on the cellist a few months ago.
|
| lachis Did you go to the Inland Sea EP launch? Also didnt you know you were from brisbane!
|
| DaveyBoy What's this? New Underoath sounds like Emery. I'm throwing myself a Pity Party in celebration.
|
 | Gyromania Yeah, I think the only other album you've done it with is Mumford
|
| Gyromania Doug, you keep dropping your ratings right after you review something. WHAT IS UP WITH THAT!?!?!? Also, how's it going, dude?
|
 | Pigwise41 I dig your list my friend. I added Dark Storm by The Jezabels the other day. I HIGHLY recommend them, they are also playing at Falls i'm pretty sure. They're a Sydney group kinda like Yeah Yeah Yeah's or somethin :)
|
 | chambered89 if i didnt like only by the night, should i bother
|
 | Baphomet I forgot, there's this UCL league I'm promoting and you might wanna check in and don't manage your team here: 182924-37010.
|
| Fugue Idk man, I'm sucking balls so far this year. Also doesn't help that pretty much 90% of fixtures this last week went against the form guide.
|
| Baphomet haha that's unfair to the poor bastard at the 18th place. also, check freeks latest post in my shoutbox, I though he was kidding when he said you don't know football.
|
 | Jim GODDAAAAAAAAAARD
|
| DaveyBoy Thought it might. Did u get tkts, coz they r nearly sold out?
|
| DaveyBoy Reports suggest Millncolin at SoundWave.
|
| crazyblinddude Yeah I heard something about that. I guess I'll have to go check it out! Anyways, thanks again, I have Conor Oberst but I'll look into the other recs as well. thanks!
|
| crazyblinddude hey douglas was just wondering if you had any other albums youd think id like that are along the style of that paul dempsey album. i only ask because i gave it a spin earlier today and forgot how good it was.
|
| DaveyBoy Did you notice that Silversun Pickups eventually did do their own show in Melb at the Corner.
|
 | bailar11 claro que si. looking forward to your next review.
|
 | Banion you were one of his favorite users. =)
|
| tombits check out these local bad boys/girls: http://www.myspace.com/thetigerandme
|
| crazyblinddude yeah i noticed you reviewed one of their earlier albums too. i admit its better than their other stuff, but it just feels likes its a guilty pleasure. and not quite 4 status. idk if you know what i mean, but its been bugging me for some weird reason lol.
|
| crazyblinddude hey douglas this is kidna a weird question, but what would you rate the amity affliction's newest album. it feels wrong that i rated it a 4. being that your my musical neighbor and all.
|
| bailar11 uhh... personally i dont think its that great. i mean just here the latest single 'i like it' for the album. kinda a bit off, but there are few redeemable factors. in all honesty i wouldnt care if you reviewed it a 1.
|
| bailar11 it's up to par with many of your other ones. ths one is mainly short and to the point, which works well for the rating it received. if it's one of your more favored artists, like something for kate or paul dempsey, you seem to get into it slightly more. but that type of reviewing is considered normal as you have more to express in your review than just the music.
|
| bailar11 all enrique wants to hear is you reviewing his new album. enrique has taken a liking to many of your reviews.
|
| Kiran its beautiful isnt it
|
| DaveyBoy LOL. It is still number one on the pop charts for the year. Deviant is next to get in trouble.
|
| DaveyBoy I will give you Mmmmmmmmmm Bop.
|
| DaveyBoy Your five rating is helping Hanson to the highest average rating of the year.
|
 | cirq hahahaha! gahddamn i cannot wait
|
| cirq how about edson buddle ;)
|
 | EVedder27 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIRmx96yk8k Carter Beauford solo this weekend at a show I saw, thought you be one of the few on the site interested haha. Starts around 8 min mark.
|
 | Blindsided Could I bother you for some folk recs? Both male and female would be fantastic.
|
| DaveyBoy It is not really my thing either.
|
| DaveyBoy Well new releases from aussie bands are your specialty. If DavID does not get to them first, Parades and Cloud Control are both getting a lot of hype. Ooh, and Tame Impala has caught the eye over in the staff forum.
|
| DaveyBoy Ta for reminder. You're like the annoying guy every workplace needs. :-)
|
 | ninjuice I watched Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus recently. Wow. I'm having a lot of trouble finding Shark Attack 3 though :(
|
| cirq yo, kangaroo! have you been hiding??
|
 | AtavanHalen Marcus Mumford and Laura Marling are an item. Phwoar
|
 | tinkrbel the problem is if that i make it too easy itll be over quick and if its too hard people lose interest and it gets boring. im trying to strike the right balance
|
| tinkrbel ok cool. gonna have a tough time coming up with another 5 sputnikers, think imma take a little break from that
|
| tinkrbel no offense dougie, u dont talk THAT much about urself but i saw ur list about how u were dumped by text and i neede to say something about u since u asked to be on my lists!
|
| DaveyBoy Not looking good at all. Oh well I'd rather play badly against the top teams
|
 | YouAreMySilence I was looking at it, Ill def give it a listen when my laptop's internet starts working :/.
|
| Eclectic Having listened to it, I'm expecting my summary for the review should be something along the lines of "John Butler should be a boxer, because he just pulled one mean punch". Album is seriously good.
|
| Eclectic I just got a call from Sanity, apparently they're letting me pick up my pre-order of JBT's latest album 2 days early. Now that is what I call service :D
|
| Eclectic That's cool, any time. Awesome, I look forward to seeing it up.
|
| Eclectic Edited and sent back, when do you plan to post it?
|
| Eclectic Sure, send it through to balaklavaman@hotmail.com
|
| Eclectic The first one will be up on Friday night and then one per day until Tuesday when I'll review April Uprising. Lol, you've reminded me to finish writing them.
|
 | Vooligan nice man, really nice. shall have to investigate some more.
|
| Eclectic Hey man, I didn't get to hear much (dodgy internet =P) but what I did hear I liked, I'll grab that album when I can.
|
 | maidenpmcc Yo dude, seen your profile on the Still Life remastered album. I noticed your from Belfast, I live an hour south of you. Whats the craic with you?
|
| Vooligan hey man, check out DLC's new song: ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_Fu9gt3_OY
|
| YouAreMySilence Ahah I thought you would and me too :p. You should probably give it a 5, js.
|
| YouAreMySilence Hey bro no time no talk. Just letting you know, you should listen to Jonsi's new record (the lead singer from Sigur Ros) it leaked. And if you thought Sigur Ros' newest made you want to run naked through a forest, you need to give Go a listen. Hands down, best album of the year so far.
|
| Eclectic Ah, not necessarily but you should check him out ASAP. I just caught his live show and enjoyed it very much. ://www.myspace.com/kimchurchill1
|
| Eclectic Yoh man, you heard of a guy called Kim Churchill?
|
| Jim noticed you're changing your name to douglas. how formal of you!
|
 | TRMshadow Thank you for introducing me to Paul Dempsey, lovin' it.
|
 | Mordecai. yep. Middle East rule. My friend roadies for them and he told me to look out for them.
|
 | horseypie haha awesome, cheers mate. youre a legend :D
|
| horseypie and i totally just kind of stalked you/was reading some threads on here and you should totally tell me how the melbourne laneway was because im going to the sydney one, and whether i should go and see mumford or the xx because they clash :(
|
| horseypie hey mate hows it goingjust from one paul dempsey fan to another, do you reckon you'd be able to upload the itunes exclusive album he put out? i cant find it anywhere and i bought a real copy not off itunes :( if you could thatd be killer mateim guessing you voted for him in the hottest 100? did you get your free fridge magnet for voting for ramona? i got mine today, was stoked :D
|
| Mordecai. dude wtf you basically copy and pasted my Middle East soundoff.
|
 | SeaAnemone I liked the first two, but the title track is my favorite! after that there's a huge dropoff in quality.
|
| Deviant. I'd go straight from the horses mouth. Plus if my assumption is right i'm sure the mods would allow a review for it when it's just been released in Europe
|
| Deviant. Okay, possible false info. NME has got them for the 8th, but Hot Chip are saying the 1st, but that might be Europe only followed by worldwide on the 8th ://www.hotchip.co.uk/
|
| Deviant. In case you don't see my comment in the forums Hot Chip are bringing out One Life Stand on Feb 8th
|
 | Waior You linked me in on Facebook but the link was deeeeaaaaad!
|
| cirq you will love bill callahan's sometimes i wish we were an eagle
|
| BallsToTheWall Im the token naked guy bro. There cant be two, that would just be gay.
|
| Vooligan Check out my latest review, you might be a fan.
|
| tombits Only if you check out O' Brother though.
|
| tombits ... I still haven't listened to that album. I'm sorry! I'll get on it, haha.
|
| Fugue Yeah mine was great too dude.Haha Mumford ended up making my year end list so I guess I should thank you!
|
 | MetalFaceDoom Ok man will do. Lol i think you should upload it for us cheapskates..... ;) jks jks ill keep looken
|
| tombits Aww, I must have missed that naked slide... jealous, haha. I honestly don't think I have a favourite. Architecture In Helsinki, Cat Power, Bonjah, Beautiful Girls and Bang Bang Eche were all awesome, and Bluejuice was just incredibly entertaining because of the singer, haha. Everyone I saw was pretty up to scratch besides Cat Empire, they were a bit disappointing.
|
| MetalFaceDoom Hey dude i keep seeing you rec paul dempsey all over. Where can i find everything is true on the internet? I wanna listen to it so bad but cant find it nowhere any ideas?
|
| DaveyBoy Motherf**k, I wasn't online last night to get your message. D'oh. Reminds me I have to vote for their top 100 though.
|
| Gyromania Mumford and Sons is amazing, glad to see a review up for them.
|
| Vooligan Dude, another to add to the list. myspace.com/miramar1 Think Themata era Karnivool if Kenny could switch from his normal awesomeness to hardcore vocals in a flash. Then stir in a pot of Cog and Mammal goodness.
|
| tombits who were your favourite acts? manage to catch bang bang eche early yesterday by any chance?
|
| tombits yeah i know, but only in retrospect. i really didn't care at the time! i was annoyed that no music was playing on the main stage for ages though, although the pharoah's annex was pretty sweet.
|
| tombits that was probably the best ****ing two days of my life.
|
| Fugue Yes indeedy, check my recent ratings ;). How was your christmas man?
|
 | Piglet im going to pass your hometown - lorne isn't it? - on tuesday i'll be sure to be one of your dearly hated tourists
|
| klap neko case - fox confessor brings the flood, start with the 2nd song, you'll love it
|
| klap lol tom waits can barely sing
|
| klap ok he sort of reminds me of beck, if beck could sing better. hope that makes sense
|
| klap how can people not like his voice?! it's good stuff, reminds me of someone i can't quite remember, and he can go high without embarrassing himself. very indie-rockish its my thing
|
| klap ok it was pretty decent the first time through, i need to listen to it more though. it was good and the guy has an enjoyable voice but nothing really leapt out at me, you know? i'll give it more time though after my finals are done
|
 | Dreamsoffew Oh god, last comment should say stimulating conversation by qwe3, lol
|
| Dreamsoffew It's taking time and the temptations to join in such stimulating as offered by qwe3 is too much at times lol! On a sidenote, Something For Kate is beautiful
|
| DaveyBoy $hit it annoys me when someone writes a sound-off just because others have. You're not the only one though. I'll start calling you DavID. LOL
|
| DaveyBoy Hmm, now that Strikey likes Dempsey so much, I might listen to it. Haha ;-)
|
| Knott- Actually, that's a very good idea. Been looking for something good to write on that I already own.
|
| DaveyBoy Re: Dempsey... Unfortunately not Dougie. Sorry mate.
|
| YouAreMySilence It is really chill but probably like the second best flowing album I've ever heard (Lift Your Skinny Fists being the first for I'm a GY!BE whore) and Track 5 is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. And ya I've heard abit, and it sounded dec, need to listen to more though.
|
| YouAreMySilence Hey brofo you've given Matthew Good's Hospital Music and Mono's split w/ World's End Girlfriend a good listen yet?
|
| Eclectic I was going through the collection if CDs that my local library stocks and I found an EP by Paul Dempsey entitled "Counterfeits and Forgeries" have you heard of it?
|
| Eclectic How do you feel about reviewing A Song Is A City by Eskimo Joe?
|
 | helloimstu Sweet! I'll definitely check back again since I enjoyed the SMN Review so much :) Yeah, I'll give Reviewing a try sooner or later, I just made this about an Hour ago so I thought I'd just start off by commenting/rating stuff.
|
| helloimstu No problem :) I was really surprised that the Debut hasn't been Reviewed on here!
|
| helloimstu Enjoyed your Review of So Many Nights :)
|
| AtavanHalen Seen Carus and the True Believers live, actually; they opened for JBT
|
| Jim here come the drums here come the drums. more like die. haha well done.
|
| Eclectic Okies, symphonic recs (these are songs btw, except for the last one)
The Poet And The Pendulum -- Nightwish
Dark Chest Of Wonders -- Nightwish
The Phantom Of The Opera -- Nightwish
Those are symphonic metal, not too sure what you'll think, but I'm putting it out there anyway. And the album rec is:
Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain -- Yann Tiersen
I may have rec'd that before, but I recently listened to it again and been reminded of just how great it is.
|
| DaveyBoy My comment cut off. I am having computer probs. Lucky to get any review out of me.
|
| DaveyBoy I would have said "yes". But since I'm only 2nd best
|
 | thebhoy mmm, that was delicious. I KNOW you will love Joe Zawinul's Brown Street version in big band if you haven't heard it already. The whole live album Brown Street is just Zawinul and his big band doing arrangements of Weather Report tunes. It's really good.
|
 | StreetlightRock Haha, I really really can't promise anything dude, I got a hectic week and a bit coming up and then I'm flying overseas on the 21st and I'll be there all the way till New Years. Also got this John Mayer review to write. Cheers for the shout, tho i'd hedge my bets with Davey!
|
 | shade Go watch the new fun. video. Am I the only one that the drummer's pissing off?
|
| Vooligan dude, i have a rec for ya: ://www.myspace.com/thesirentower they're from perth, similar to something for kate. enjoy!
|
 | Athom seriously. i normally hate big band but that was fantastic
|
| Athom HOLY s*** THAT WAS GOOD.
|
| YouAreMySilence Stellar. I have given Night a few listens tonight and I'm really enjoying though I feel that there's more to it, so I'll probably give it another tonight.
|
| YouAreMySilence Really? Not gonna lie, not a fan of Muse at all. So far I think I'm gonna go with a Laura track, just to keep the instrumental vibe, and its really amazing. Have you listened to Mono/WEG Split yet?
|
| YouAreMySilence No prob, I just got it haha.
For a school assignment I have to find end of the world music, 5 songs I think. I have three (GY!BE, Panopticon, and probably a song from Night) I may use Track 5 from the Mono/Worlds End Girlfriend split, any other ideas?
|
| Jim i would pos' that!
|
| AtavanHalen Send it to me and we can go back and forth? valkyriefasterlouder@gmail.com
|
| YouAreMySilence Yah the Dempsey record is pretty great. Probably will give a 4. Out of the Airlock is amazing. Emery, aoty? I don't see it..
|
| YouAreMySilence As a massive Swoon lover, I thought I should let you know I've been digging that record non stop! Catch
