 | LibGyps Just read your comment about Radiohead's new album. That was spot on.
|
 | unclereich your avatar is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet my fav movie in a long ass time
|
 | Hopelust He is a cool dude! The tower of beer (beer birthday cake) in my profile picture was actually for his 30th. Anyway.
|
| Hopelust One of my best friends is Matt Harrison.
|
 | ExplosiveOranges Sadly, I have not. I heard that Jake Gyllenhaal was fantastic in it, though, so I want to give it a shot ASAP. Btw, nice Illmatic rating.
|
 | aok 4 for that new thom yorke? likin them ty feelin defeated vibes icic
|
| aok heyro der. you hear the flume remix of lorde's "tennis balls"? i think u would dig. i think u would plenty dig
|
| ExplosiveOranges Also just noticed that your forum title is "Bastard from a basket". All I can say to that is if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? Watch it. Now, my straw reaches acroooooooss the room and starts to drink your milkshake.
|
| ExplosiveOranges This is a bit random, but dude, your avatar is great. "I have a competition in me."
|
 | Feather Hmmm Interesting. I've never really considered but I've been finding myself more and more active.
|
| Feather Nice I was unaware. Maybe if I actually start reviewing I'd have a shot at that then. Thanks.
|
| Feather Is one review a month really enought to become "Contributor"? Just curious. I've been on the sight for years (I've had a few different accounts) and I always thought that requirement was higher.
|
 | Deviant. I've already added it to the database so that's covered. I get that the stream isn't the most official thing in the world, but every news site is linking to it. Couple that with the unique situation this album is in and I'd say go for it. No one can prove that you didn't receive a copy after donating to the kickstarter campaign ;)
|
 | Hyperion1001 its streaming so that anyone has access so im fairly certain its fair game as far as reviewing goes. if you want official confirmation though ask jom or deviant.
|
 | Jom Not a worry -- it's not like we're getting paid. Real life trumps Internet life.
|
 | SadAndHolyGlow It is so beautiful. And yeah, "Lost In Translation" is probably in my top ten.
|
| SadAndHolyGlow Dude. Your profile pic is gorgeous. A painted still from "Lost In Translation," I presume.
|
 | Sowing Yeah I still remember my friend had it on a blank CD and didn't know what it was called so I had to google the lyrics. Was hooked on pretty much everything of his since then.
|
 | luci thanks! you too :
|
 | Gnocchi D you have fb?? https://www.facebook.com/robert.garland.16
|
| Gnocchi Yep I'll throw to you over Facebook in about 15min, currently out and about.
|
| Gnocchi http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/57876/damascus-heights/
|
| Gnocchi Found something for you, hopefully it won't be too far out of the ordinary. http://whenicarusfalls.bandcamp.com/Let me know if you're interested, I have a d/l promo if you're interested.
|
 | klap of course man. glad it worked out and looking forward to reading more of your stuff
|
| Gnocchi Awesome, you give me something to review and I'll return the favour!
|
| Gnocchi I don't think there's many guys who could match my reach through the genre. Although I'd like to dabble more outside the genre, - maybe we could do a swap in reviews. Help stretch our writing a bit?
|
| Gnocchi Yeah I was reading just now, short and sweet - maybe you should try some m/
|
| Gnocchi I'll make a point of catching up on your reviews, I honestly think I have missed them all. Whoops, soon to be fixed
|
| Gnocchi Done and done, congrats on the promotion again from me too champ. If you need anything you know where to find me. : )
|
 | Trebor. Blade Runner, Reservoir Dogs, and Royal Tenenbaums
|
| Trebor. you like movies that are good
|
 | Brostep Haha that'll be fun. I think it's good that you got promoted since the "CONTRIBUTOR" tag gives your comments an air of legitimacy that new reviewers might not respect otherwise, so keep it up and I look forward to seeing you around!
|
 | Gyromania sweet avatar! congrats on the promotion
|
 | Atari haha i forgot about that. Just review whatever your heart desires man!
|
| Gyromania thanks man. i would if i had more reviews under my belt. i feel like it'd be insulting or something to vie for a staff position when i wrote like 2 reviews last year lol. appreciate the support though =]
|
| Atari Haha sounds good man. Best of luck to you sir! you're an excellent writer
|
| SadAndHolyGlow Agreed. I got it on cassette :P Even though the songs were all jumbled, I still think that it's an awesome collectible for the future.
|
| SadAndHolyGlow Nice to see another rating on Rebuker's EP! Let me guess... You picked it up at The Chariot's show?
|
| Atari there's at least a dozen songs i like better than that one lol but that being said - almost all their songs are great. Definitely one of my all-time favorite bands. You should check them out more pretty sure all their albums have streams on youtube
|
| Atari I know you mostly listen to modern music but seeing that you like folk you should check out simon and garfunkel.
|
 | larrytheslug have you at least heard "welcome home" by rad face? it's a very well known song, but jams hard! im liking what i hear from the branches.
|
 | Necrotica I haven't gotten anything published yet, but I'll be working on that
|
| Necrotica I write a lot of stuff in gangster (Godfather, Pulp Fiction, etc.), drama, and psychological thriller genres. I'm sorta mixing Stanley Kubrick and Quentin Tarantino with my writing, even with how weird that combination sounds :P
|
| Atari pop punk = whiny vocals : 3 I grew up on the stuff though so i'll always have a soft spot for it prolly
|
| Atari you might like new found glory - sticks and stones if you've never heard it. However, you might find the vocals to be too whiny lol
|
| Atari who ADTR? but you like blink 182 and sum 41 so it's cool : )
|
| Atari haha nah i kind of just gave up lol. I have failed you sir : / Wait, what are you doing listening to pop punk?!
|
| Gyromania ha! i was wondering if you'd see that or not. i think she's pretty good looking too. not so much now, but back in her youth, definitely
|
| klap and don't really follow up on them. having said that, i really dig the areas when you do go into a little detail, and your intro/conclusions are very sound. also, this is the perfect length for a review. i really enjoyed it and most of the below is just nitpicking
|
| klap i'm not a huge fan of the chess analogy bc it seems like a stretch to me but it makes sense in this context and i like how you tie it back in w the "checkmate." at times this review gushes a little bit too much using words like "prowess," and a phrase like how you're explaining how the songs flow into each other is sort of a lame way to describe what you're getting at. also, you don't really describe the "brilliant lyricism" too much. as a whole, parts of the review state these big claims
|
| klap for sure man, i'll read it over again. was great first time thru tho
|
 | Aids female artists, especially female pop artists, are always put under such heavy scrutiny. It actually really bugs me, but *oh well* that's the internet/our society for you. I re-rated it, 5/5. Seriously this album is god damn perfect. It's....it's glorious. Every track is a stunner imo. Review incoming (in the next few days).
|
 | XingKing I hope you watched the whole thing! James Franco is ****ing hilarious to watch whenever Jesse Eisenberg is speaking. You can just tell he is thinking about what a retard he is and his facial expressions are comedy gold
|
 | someguest Thank you. I think it's the best series I've seen so far in life.
|
| Gyromania i go here: http://www.chess.com/ - if you make a profile, add me as a friend http://www.chess.com/members/view/MattF012
|
| Gyromania aw! s'all good though - just looking for new chess enthusiasts to befriend :P i'll definitely check that album out, i actually liked the eps (listened to 'em both last night)
|
 | ashn0ted Understood. In a nutshell, it's a writing opportunity that I'd like to present to you owing to your clear ability. If you have Skype, my handle is ashley.collins649, we could IM there.
|
| ashn0ted Sorta, call it a proposition, haha.
|
| ashn0ted Hey man. Really like your writing style, could I get an email address at all so I can ask you something?
|
| Atari haha i'm too old man. At this point writing is just something I really enjoy but if somebody ever wanted to pay me i wouldn't argue lol.
|
| Atari that's sweet man. i always used to want to be a screen writer or a movie critic
|
| Atari "a stylistic replacement for parantheses than anything". you stylish mofo ;) haha thanks for the response, that makes sense. Guess i'm gonna have to try it out in my future reviews. Also i second Gnarly's comment you should apply for contributor next time around
|
| Atari yo i already asked omaha this but i'm sure i'll get a quicker response from you. In reviews when you do this -- (the double dashed lines) is that an alternative way of using parenthesis or a semicolon or what? prolly a dumb question i know but i've been curious about it : P
|
 | GnarlyShillelagh yeah absolutely that volcano choir review was one of the better reviews i've read in a while. you got talent bruh, just keep writing at a reasonable pace and you'll be a shoe in come applications
|
| GnarlyShillelagh wtf dude you better apply for contrib this next round of applications
|
| Atari haha you're one of the pickiest guys on sputnik prolly. Yeah i'll keep an eye out for something after 2000 : P
|
| klap yo never read your stuff before but the volcano choir was ace keep it up
|
| Sowing Glad you found it. Maybe I'll check it out sometime too.
|
| Atari hope you're not in a rush i've been so busy lol i'll find something for you eventually
|
| Atari How dare you!! Lmao of course dude ill see what else I can come up with.
|
| Atari Well u should just give it a shot and if u don't like it ill find something else lol ;)
|
| Atari U a fan of iron maiden, Judas Priest etc.? I can think of some metal albums that need reviewed just not metalcore.
|
| Atari If u don't like it I can think of something else ;) they're not straight up pop punk though. I just can't think of any metalcore or post rock albums that need a review lol
|
| Atari The hotel year - it never goes out. If u don't like it i can think of something else they're pop punk but kinda indie/emo too they remind me of piebald and maybe mewithoutyou a tiny bit
|
| Atari What genre u want? I'm having trouble thinking of something lol
|
| Atari I didn't forget about u I've just been busy lol ill assign u an album today!
|
| Atari Cool just give me a bit to come up with an album ;)
|
| Atari All the submissions are closed but I can look at your music taste and assign u a random album to review myself if u want?
|
| Sowing Haha no it's Jesse Lacey from Brand New
|
 | VlacDrac I think it's time we blow this scene. Get everybody and the stuff together.Okay three, two, one, lets jam!
