 | BigHans Based on your ratings bro I think you might dig the new Gang of Youths album pretty hard. Could be wrong, but its a hunch.
|
 | tom79 Nice to see someone else really diggin' the new Sidekicks album
|
 | Hep Kat you heard the new black wine song? it's pretty cool. sounds like they went in a completely different direction than their last album
|
| Hep Kat yeah, no release date yet, but new black wine is definitely on the way. i hope it's as good as hollow earth. I still jam that all the time
|
| Hep Kat also, old man markley is playing philly in mid-July, we're either gonna go see them then, or a few days before in asbury park. if we do wind up going to the Philly show, you tryna come too? I would suggest bringing a gal if ya do, s*** makes wondrous dancing music
|
| Hep Kat stoked for the new black wine record?
|
| Hep Kat ah i figured that was likely. we shall raincheck then
|
| Hep Kat yo dawg you gonna be around this weekend? i'm gonna be in pa, and me and the mrs. were thinking about headin into the city for somethin
|
 | owen I like season 2 so far, because it's weirder
|
| owen your avatar reminds me to finish the second season of twin peaks
|
| Hep Kat far out dude! I'm sure I'll be going to something soon, so I'll let you know. Message me your digits on last.fm or somethin
|
| Hep Kat it might be too late now unfortunately. I have one more i wanna get. Something from the midnight movies cover
|
| Hep Kat got my night birds lp today. it's ****ing really cool, the pictures are great and the doodles on the sleeve are neat as s***. i'm still waiting on the regular one i bought to play, but i might spin this one once or twice because i really want to hear it on vinyl
|
| tom79 I will look into it for sure. thanks dude.
|
| Hep Kat what do you think of the new warm brew? i think it's really good, but there's a few parts that aren't well-oiled
|
| tom79 Yeah after Laura's killer was revealed the show went downhill, but I think the Lynch-directed finale kind of made up for it. I heard that the network pressured the writers to reveal the killer so when they did they probably just scrambled to find plot lines following it, most of which were awful. Did you watch the movie? It does little in the way resolving the series cliffhanger but offers a lot of back story (its a prequal). It's good, though depressing as ****.
|
| tom79 Man that last episode of Twin Peaks is a trip. Such a good show.
|
 | pribosse it's necro dogg! http://necrodogg.bandcamp.com/
|
 | iFghtffyrdmns i stop by once every few months to realize how out of touch I've become :'( how are things?
|
| Hep Kat its awesome, even better than i expected. had to 5
|
| Hep Kat yeah philly is great. the barbary, especially, hosts a lot of great acts
|
| Hep Kat either way, we're only about 3 hours from philly driving conservatively, so it's whatever. we might be moving ourselves though, to washington state. she has some family out there and they i might be able to get a job at a newspaper that her cousin works at, and she might finish school up out there somewhere. in all honesty though, we'd really be going because of legal weed haha. it depends on whether or not she gets pregnant this summer (we're trying to have another kid)
|
| Hep Kat we go to philly at least once a month to see something usually. if youre gonna be there before TIH try to scoop up a pass (i think they may be all sold out officially) and we can meet up
|
| Hep Kat gonna catch their record release show at asbury lanes with omegas, give, and altered boys. first time seeing give, pretty stoked on that. i wish the night birds/give/tenement tour had some dates on the east coast but it's w/e
|
| Hep Kat so im getting a free copy of the limited edition version of born to die in suburbia for having a night birds tattoo. fortunately my wife has a facebook and she was able to tell me to email brian about it. pretty stoked, it should be here sometime next week
|
 | Maniac! Also, you should sign up for my site!
|
| Maniac! I guess I was overestimating her fanbase. I was told I got a pretty good crowd and I was expecting more people.
|
| Maniac! http://mediasnobs.com/2013/05/laura-stevenson-w-field-mouse-live-atlanta-4262013/
|
| Hep Kat yea it's awesome as expected
|
| Maniac! Yeah I saw her in Atlanta. I'll let you know when I finish writing up my live show report for my site.
|
| Maniac! Wait, what. Did we go to the same show?
|
| Maniac! Laura's set list was the best I could have asked for. Her new songs sound amazing live
|
| Hep Kat http://gluehc.com/exclusive-sectarian-violence-upward-hostility-album-stream/
|
| Hep Kat new sectarian violence rips dude
|
| Hep Kat yeah I saw em at asbury lanes like a year and a half ago. pretty fun s*** to see in person
|
| Hep Kat good looks on addin the new old man markley to the db, I promise I'll get at you with the recs you requested before the week is out
|
| Hep Kat aw s*** dude i typed up this huge ****in list and because i put a goddamned ampersand after alpha sputnik tarded out and didnt post it properly :( ugh when i have more time i'll do it again UGH
|
| Hep Kat http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=116878
|
| Hep Kat yeah dude i spun separate the magnets vinyl today in his honor. so sad
|
 | betterdays314 I noticed you checked out our demo "Songs About Drinking" last year, just wanted to let you know we have a new EP out here: http://betterdays314.bandcamp.com/album/good-luck-tonight-ep
|
 | skippingboy123 Check out this band. Here's a wonderful song. (quality pop-punk)http://youtu.be/iLSG2TRxhZo
|
 | klap League Id: 590968Password: figure8make sure to check the settings first to prevent bitching later. draft time is flexible.
|
| Hep Kat Well it wasn't recorded on a 4 track, so that makes a huge difference right away. They also ditched the noisy experimentation and the fast acid rock freakouts for just straight up Americana-tinged alt rock/post-punk. In a lot of ways it's a better album, and I think you would prefer it to the tape, but personally I liked their gritty, lo-fi sound better. "Master of My Craft" has one of the most infectious guitar riffs I've heard in a while though
|
| Hep Kat you heard the masked intruder LP? it's pretty bangin, i'm sure you'd dig it
|
 | Trebor. Dude my list doesn't have the boss cuz that goes under S
|
 | Athom it's new LA. the voice cracks are because I recorded it when my voice was still blown.
|
| Athom and im an idiot and just linked a Silver Snakes video. stupid Chrome here. http://soundcloud.com/adamcoreythomas/its-dangerous-to-go-alone
|
| Athom yo. figured I'd let you in on a new demo. cheers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjbF_6tOE8o
|
 | pmmets07 **** yeah gatherer! that band rules, my friend is good buddies with them i guess. i expect them to do big things
|
 | bungy Oh right because I'm a fox
|
| bungy Um all I know is that it's called Blizzard of 96 or something like that I think and that I'm stoked to hear it.
|
 | SnazSpaz oh, i dont like using those sites, they make me feel crummy
|
| SnazSpaz Yeah, its pretty great. Hey, where can I find a copy of some Wingnut Dishwasher, and Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains? They are not on iTunes, Spotify, or Amazon?
|
| SnazSpaz K, that's weird thanks for all the recs though, already listened to reinventing axl Rose, really great stuff.
|
 | OnlyAnchors ill probably go see menz then. drunkenly singing my balls off to "good things" is just something i cant miss out on lol
|
| OnlyAnchors ah jesus-tap-dancing-christ :\. is anyone hopping on to replace them or no? i was actually considering seeing the spraynard show until now.
|
| Maniac! it's all good. just give it a 5 and we're even
|
 | Kellerdeck Fair enough. Though if you didn't like it, you shouldn't have rated it. You could become biased towards the band. If you're wondering who I am, I'm their past publicist.
|
| Kellerdeck Who the hell are you and why don't you like Rest?
|
| Maniac! thanks man. spread the word :)
|
| OnlyAnchors So jealous that you saw code orange kids AND full of hell. I was gonna go see code orange kids but i was too much of a puss to skip my night classes :\
|
 | Sowing would you mind writing a very brief (5-10 sentences) summary/soundoff for the song you chose for the sputnik playlist? i think the feature would look a lot better with writing. if so, please let me know and email it to sowingsputnik@gmail.com. thanks again for being a part of things!
|
 | CaptainDooRight yeah bro if I was a master bestow'er of black belts, I would make sure all my students are first well versed in the art of kvlt
|
| CaptainDooRight there is nothing black belt about that pie chart, get some black metal in there bra
|
 | Hawks Yep that last hail mary was close. I think this game pretty much cemented both Eli Manning's and Tom Coughlin's legacies. They'll both be in the Hall of Fame eventually.
|
| Hawks Haha yeah I was close. I knew the Giants would win when they got the ball back with 4 minutes left. And I also called that Gronkowski would be a non-factor.
|
| Maniac! links were taken down for that album :(
|
| SnazSpaz sorry accidentally clicked the enter button multiple times
|
| SnazSpaz Yeah, especially Down The River Of Golden Dreams. Its so good!
|
| SnazSpaz I hear you are Okkervil River fan now, very happy to hear that!
|
| Hep Kat liam the younger has 3 albums, i think. but honestly the other two are only on the internet in such poor quality that the only one i've heard all the way through is revel hidden worlds
|
| iFghtffyrdmns yeah probably gonna be a 3.5 for me. maybe a 3 depending on how it holds up, i guess we'll see when I review it
|
| iFghtffyrdmns tee hee hee i have connections. new anti-flag too, definitely some improvement from their last stinker.
|
| Maniac! lol I know. I was just pissed that turntable wasn't working again.
|
| Hep Kat i finally got that from traffic street
|
| pmmets07 haha whoa that's awesome. i'm not buddies with them, i just put one of their songs in my skate video for a class final. thanks for pointing that out, though
|
 | wabbit accidentally declined your last fm friend request sorry bro.
|
| bungy It's a sad deal I'll let you know if I find anything else out
|
| Hep Kat i know they havent sent me the vinyl i ordered 4 weeks ago
|
| bungy Oh s***. Yeah that's what is happening to people, which sucks because I want some House Boat merch
|
| bungy No, I just know it's pretty ****ed up over there I wouldn't order anything for a while
|
| Maniac! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s-0LKFsFe0
|
| Trebor. I haven't heard a whole Beatles album either. You should get Static Age though, it rules
|
 | Eko no I was thinking we should disagree to agree
|
| Eko it deserves all of the praise it has received
|
| Trebor. You have the best neighbors
|
 | omnipanzer Oh, sorry. on last.fm there is a blackbeltdude who is a neighbor to me and I was wondering it was you.
|
| omnipanzer For some reason it isn't letting me post a URL. I thought I had done it successfully twice now...
|
| Maniac! I mostly train hard into Judo. I took some traditional Japanese Jujitsu, but quit doing that after earning a couple belts. I get some ground techniques for judo from some people who have done BJJ for a while. So in other words, just Judo. I've just played with other stuff.
|
| Maniac! If you really have a black belt, what art is it in?
|
 | mallen- Glad you liked Red City Radio. Personally I think this year needs a little more punk to live up to last year.
|
 | Satellite yeah, on fb. and actually you might just have to be friends with someone on the site in general, not just a given room. not sure tbh.
|
| Satellite currently you have to be american and friends with someone in the room to get in. it's pretty cool for the most part. up to 5 people can be in the DJ rotation, with everyone else in the "audience." when a song's played people can either pos or neg it, and if it's negged by enough people it gets skipped.
|
| Eko I'm a tad surprised you put mwY and HoH above Cities tho tbh
|
| Eko cool so I gave you what 4 or 5 out of your top 20 indie albums?
|
| Satellite yeah man, it's really good. hurricane waves and can't complain are still my favorites of the vacation stuff i've heard so far.
|
| Satellite yo dude you should changed that headline to "Against Me! Comp Stream" because lots of people are too dumb to read the 2-sentence article and it's causing some confusion.
|
 | Tyrael How to get Goblin? Mediafire that s***.
|
| Eko well I hope you understand it someday. I really don't even think of that as an album, I think of it more like an old friend I've known for years. It's like a pet dog that you never want to lose and you know it will always be there when you need it.
|
| Eko no its pretty much one of the more emotional and personal albums ever
|
| Eko dude seriously what even is high fructose corn syrup its an ingredient in foods. not surprised you didnt like sufjan but I didnt on first listen either.
|
| Eko hey so tell me when you start digging emotional music again
|
| Eko seinfeld avatar yes
|
| Eko what? I didnt think you would.
|
| Eko oh you listened to new emery cool
|
| Eko so if im trying to add a band to the database but theres already a different band with the same name in it already how does that work you think?
|
| Eko bringin the hammer dow on skinny fists
|
| bungy sup man I like your style, I need a new ska album to dig. What's a sweet one?
|
| Eko hey youre rating again. state lottery is a 4.5 now?
|
| Eko i dont get the justin bieber thing
|
 | TheBalderdashMan Hey, you only have it at a 4, come on. I really like it, I just think it's a little unmemorable.
|
 | cvlts sweet music taste btw
|
| cvlts kinda sorta on a break from hardcore, but it's definitely on the backburner
|
| Eko i suppose. regardless, i do think it gets boring after a while.
|
| Eko so since i like it noticeably less than two other albums it deserves the same rating?
|
| Eko first listen it was pretty cool. kinda boring after that. first like ten minutes of stella are ace, but it feels like it climaxes around there and then drags out the rest of the song. and to rate it i have to compare it to other post rock (how else?) and i definitely dont like it as much as ( ) or f#a#oo.
|
| TheBalderdashMan Thanks. It's probably because we all talked about it and influenced each other's opinions.
|
 | MrShankly Of course. I didn't know you listened to Kanye tho...
|
| MrShankly ...also, how do I write a review/soundoff/whatever?
|
| MrShankly I still need to work on my ratings. Also, I need to listen to things I might not like. Or find something that I own that I don't like... see Led Zeppelin for reference.
|
| Eko you too. they are strangely similar.
|
| Eko i was thinking of expanding my favorite bands list but i just saw you did so i guess i'll go ahead now.
|
| TheBalderdashMan Your () soundoff is great. Something about that album seems to bring out the best in soundoffers.
|
 | TheRamblingElf Thanks for telling me on my list about those American punk bands! It's a scene I don't know much about. Sometime I'll invest some energy in that! Replied to the rest on my list itself (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=452816)
|
| TheBalderdashMan And in the backseat we just tried to find some room for our knees
And in the backseat we just tried to find some room to breathe...
Yeah.
|
| Eko f#a#inf R E D C I R C L E
|
| Eko o my gosh i just enabled scrobbling on last fm i have listened to so much music i am freaked out
|
| Eko Yeah I listened to it again the other day and I felt like I was starting to "get it" so I bumped it up to a 4. Might drop it again tho. I find myself thinking of random analogies/quotes on it in different situations quite often.
|
| Eko are you familiar with as cities burn? i listened to one of their album come now sleep for the first time this week and its totally blowing me away. its a tad like brother sister, but waaay better. its perhaps the most moving, challenging, and incredible album ive ever heard. ive read its comparable to brother sister mixed with the devil and... you might just check out "contact" on lastfm or something to give it a try, i think youd like it.
|
| Eko House of heroes new album is streaming at absolutepunk on their profile. I'm jealous that you will get to hear it before me.
|
| Eko I just rated an album a 3 and my objectivity dropped. Is that mathmatically possible?
|
| Eko yeah. i kind of expected tracks like adelaid and inevitable to turn you off, but i figure you'll like dismantle repair, fin, reclusion, etc. btw you say i like ballads too much- the unwinding cable car is one of the main reasons why
|
| Eko wrote a review for one of emery's old albums if youre interested. saw u rated cities 3.5, bout what i expected.
|
| Eko vheissu is better than artist in the ambulance. like significantly.
|
| Eko thought so. they were a ska band before they became a punk-with-a-dash-of-pop band.
|
| Eko Listen to the city (track on their debut) and then say there's no ska influence
|
| Eko youd like children 18:3's debut much more. much more punk and ska influenced than rains a comin.
|
| Eko bumped the end is not the end to a 4.5. but its my lowest 4.5.
|
| Eko ok so i was in the shower last night and i developed a guide to my ratings for you since they seem to confuse you so much. this might explain why i say i like my 3's.1: I hate it with a burning passion. 1.5: I really do not like this at all. 2: I don't like it. 2.5: It's ok. 3: I like it. 3.5: I REALLY like it. 4: I love it. 4.5: An all-time favorite. If you are somewhat interested in this genre I highly recommend it. 5: Words cannot describe how amazing I think this is.
|
| Eko oh my gosh i just realized how many albums are on myspace. expect my ratings to skyrocket.
|
| Eko album is on myspace. rains a comin is a high 3.5 for me, might bump it to 4 later.
|
| Eko so im listening to children 18:3, and im totally surprised by how much im enjoying it. theyre actually pretty good.
|
| Eko pretty awesome man. seriously, really awesome.
|
| TheBalderdashMan I've finally achieved my goal of having less 5's than any other rating above 2.5. And I have only one less 2.5 than 5's. I still have almost nothing 2 or below-I'm just not so likely to listen to that stuff.
Oh, and check out my new ratings-there are a couple that might interest you...
|
| Eko i was at camp this week and i asked this girl in my group what music she liked. she said ska and her favorite band was streetlight manifesto. thought you might appreciate that.
|
| Eko guess what! pop punk is now less than 50% of my pie chart!
|
| Eko its taken an absurdly long time, but artist in the ambulance is finally starting to grow on me. and mewithoutYou is really good, one of the most original artists ive ever heard.
|
| TheBalderdashMan Did you buy White Crosses, or what? Seriously, how do you listen to all of this music? I can't imagine having 238 ratings a year from now.
|
| Eko dude i had that exact idea like 2 weeks ago, no joke! and then have the album title be the sentence! every track would be a title track
|
| Eko i wrote another review. yay.
|
| TheBalderdashMan Hey, you changed your picture! Wish I could read it, but still...cool. I need to fix mine, it's the wrong size and it gets all cut off.
|
| TheBalderdashMan Argh! You and Eko both beat me to a review at the same time! I need to get on that...
|
| Eko i was going to ask you about that album because every album i look up has it as members also liked. i know nothing about it, but if you hear it tell me about it. also, is it proper etiquette to write a reply here or on my page?
|
| Eko no im not trying to spam your shoutbox. but i wrote a review! you should check it out! yeah!
|
| Eko http://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=45050 this page is hilarious. its brand new's "The Devil and God are Asian Inside Me"
|
| Eko i think its cool. maybe a bit cheesy, but still creative if that makes sense.
|
 | stevelovescoffee hey, what do you know, I love Op Ivy, Rancid, Minor Threat, NoFX, and the Clash too. Hahaha what a small interweb we weave... i'm tired. Need 101 cups of the finest java in New England asap.
|
| Eko ok so i promise im not going to annoy you with everything house of heroes from now on but this song is pretty sick. http://www.thehouseofheroes.com/ scroll down on page
|
| Eko so one of my favorite bands just announced that they will be opening for mewithoutYou in Dallas June 16th. i am massively excited. ironically they just got done touring with owl city and now mewithoutYou... weird link there.
