  • Iamthe Nightstars Miss you man. Hope all is well.

  • Iamthe Nightstars This is interesting. I hate the original song but this cover is brilliant. https://youtu.be/VBmCJEehYtU

  • Iamthe Nightstars Hey, how have things been for you? Any luck in the job department?
    August 3 11:06 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I thought you would like this given your interest in female fronted emo. I bought the mp3s of the album on Amazon it's quite good. https://myspace.com/sundayinn/music/song/love-died-but-i-survived-25645320-25446505

  • Iamthe Nightstars I haven't. I like it though. It's a neat re-composition.
    June 12 05:05 PM
  • zakalwe I'm glad you surface on here when needed dude.
    June 6 11:35 AM
  • zakalwe The voice of the many ousted by the few. What he envisioned has held true.

  • GhandhiLion Completely spot on with your diagnosis of post-modernism.
    May 28 02:29 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That does sound pretty cool. I need to get one one of these days. Maybe I'll buy myself one for a graduation present when I graduate. Hey, what's your email or could toy just message me on Facebook? I have this file I would like your opinion on.

  • Iamthe Nightstars EndSerenading vinyl?
    May 11 01:49 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Yeah, it is fun to play the open notes ring out so it is really twinkly. It's ok, it's just part of life. I haven't seen much of him in my adult life and because of the distance but when I was younger we were close. The health fair was some discounted screenings at my college that people could come to for. I was taking people's blood pressure. It counts toward my internship. I've been meaning to get a turntable for a while now but I don't think I will until I move out. What's different about the

    May 4 12:42 AM
  • Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. It's been an interesting month for me. My grandpa died in the beginning of April and I had to travel to Wisconsin for the funeral. I volunteered at my college for a health fair and other than that I've just been working and working on my music. Sorry to hear about your job situation. I hope you can get something figured out soon as it's been a while now. You don't know any musicians you could play with?
    May 4 12:41 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars How have you been?
    April 16 04:11 PM
  • zakalwe The EU certainly is proving to be the totalitarian regime we all know it to be.
    March 24 12:08 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've been listening to this lately. Real good stuff. It's got a little CW vibe. I stumbled across their label's bandcamp page and realized I knew about half of the bands on the roster but never knew about the label. Haha. https://futurerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/on-the-verge-of-war-2
    March 24 05:18 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's good. The ending is great.
    March 7 05:35 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Very true. There's also good stress and bad stress.
    February 7 08:47 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Yeah, it's actually a cover. The original is an acoustic song by Magnetic Fields. As for how it fits in the South Park episode, it's pretty ridiculous as you could imagine, lol. Sorry to hear you're out of work. I hope you find something soon. School is stressful, but it's good to keep busy at least.
    February 7 07:27 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Also, the new Hospital Sports album is quality. https://hospitalsports.bandcamp.com/track/notes

  • Iamthe Nightstars I heard this song on South Park. Lol. The lyrics are kind of weird but I really liked it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmnDXRJ7btE

  • Iamthe Nightstars I'm ok, just getting used to being back in school and having hardly any time for anything again. You?

  • Iamthe Nightstars Ever hear this? It reminded me of ABC. https://daydreamerma.bandcamp.com/track/cycles-heavy-in-between
    January 27 06:53 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Thanks, you too! Got any resolutions?
    January 5 07:48 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I can dig it. Merry Christmas!
    December 26 05:27 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Sounds pretty good. Have you heard their other stuff?
    December 18 07:26 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I haven't talked about it much yet but I doubt. It's not a big deal though since I'm living with my parents right now and not paying rent.

  • Iamthe Nightstars st semester when I start my internship
    December 11 10:56 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Well at least you have a job. Weren't you struggling to find work for a while now? It doesn't seem like there's much time for things besides work, but that's just life I fires. I don't get why humans make life harder than it has to be. We're the only species on earth that pay to live. Keep your head up. I hope you can find a better job soon. I'm dealing with some ridiculous stuff at my job as well. I have two more semesters left at school. I won't be really geftting into things until the la
    December 11 10:55 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Congratulations on the new job. That's exciting! What is it?
    November 30 11:24 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is really a great song. https://youtu.be/DxpMK0YyW90
    November 30 08:15 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is some good emo influenced slowcore I found. The last song sounds like what heroin feels like. Lol. https://youtu.be/cd1ATVcf0bM?t=35m29s
    November 18 04:30 AM
  • Evelyn? Do you mean Eingya? I listened to the Seam album "Are You Driving Me Crazy" years ago and it was alright. It kind of just felt like watered down 90's indie emo to me so I forgot about them. The guitar in these songs are nice though.
    November 18 02:53 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is the guy from Helios' other minimalist piano project. The end of this song is really nice. Very calm stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY_ezR5nz8w
    November 17 01:18 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This election had a real chance for reform with there being the two most unpopular candidates in history, yet 95% of people who voted still voted for them. It?s sad really. This country will be in ruins before we see an end to the duopoly. But all of that is just one part of the problem.
    November 10 02:16 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Not so good about it, but nothing I can really do so I just have to accept reality. I'm still pretty shocked to be honest. I'd actually think I'd be more comfortable with Hillary as president even though she's not really any better. At least that way I feel like things wouldn't change that much even though they wouldn't get better either but with Trump I have no idea what's going to happen. We'll just have to see I guess. I'm really disappointed more people didn't vote 3rd party.
    November 10 02:15 AM
  • zakalwe We are starting to be heard dude.
    November 9 02:29 PM
  • zakalwe It's one I read when I was too young to fully appreciate. We are definitely heading towards the Orwellian dystopian nightmares that the writers of old warned us about.
    November 6 02:11 PM
  • zakalwe Hey. Thanks man. I think you'll find that we are in the majority in real life dude, the youthful idealism on this site is lol. It's like being in a gentrified coffee house where only people who think pure thoughts and don't question are allowed to sit and read their copies of the guardian.
    November 6 01:54 PM
  • Futures pots is a piece of human waste.
    November 5 07:46 PM
  • Futures it's sad to see man. troll negging is spineless, i get my fair share of it check it out.
    November 5 07:33 PM
  • zakalwe Hi bakker dude. I'd love to have an extensive vinyl collection and was all set to start a few months back but my savings were spent elsewhere. One day it will happen, I can't see myself forking out triple figure sums though unless it was a signed original of Revolver or something. I'll give the early Jimmy Eat World stuff a whirl.
    November 1 02:11 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Nope, I still have two more semesters.
    October 29 04:14 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars These medical classes are only 10 weeks instead of 15 like most classes are. It sounds nice because it's shorter but really they just cram a bunch of work and tests in that time.
    October 29 04:27 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars No, I haven't hear any of their albums since Futures. I'll be sure to check it out though. I have finals on Monday so I'll have more time for music stuff soon.
    October 28 05:56 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Have you heard the AF leak yet? It's pretty much as good as I thought it was going to be. Nothing amazing but a nice listen. His vocal style isn't really much different from his work in Owen so it basically just sounds like a full band version of Owen with a little more technical drumming. The main problem with it I think is that it doesn't really feel inspired. It feels like they just decided to write some more AF sounding songs to appease the fans and make a few bucks out of it.
    October 8 05:02 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Lol. That's funny. Yeah, definitely has the same vibe.
    September 30 03:10 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The Karl Larsson song is really nice. It made me think of that JEW song "Just Watch the Fireworks". The rip worked pretty well. I liked that Bluetile Lounge song as well.
    September 28 10:17 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars There's some good stuff on the new Eluvium album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Yj2bUOLMo
    September 16 01:57 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've come across it while searching for albums but never really got too familiar with the site. I'll have to look into it sometime.
    September 14 09:58 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Nice to see some other sputnikers are digging it.
    September 4 06:32 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Well, I've only got 12 plays from yesterday on bandcamp, lol. But that's 12 more that wouldn't have happened if you didn't review it. So thanks =)
    September 2 05:14 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Another thing, I actually didn't use an ebow on any of these songs. The synth parts in Art Weingartner do kind of resemble an ebow though. It's funny though because I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and plan on using it in future recordings. Lol
    September 2 02:45 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars But I hope you know I'm really thankful you wrote this.
    September 2 12:36 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The guy that said that gave it a 3. The other guy that gave it a 2 didn't said it was bad but good for a debut. Looking at his pie chart it doesn't really look like this would be up his alley anyway, haha. Which is fine. Just to let you know for your review summary the quote is "you showed up in jeans". Here's the speech for that sample in case you're curious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHCXsKkY2Xo
    September 2 12:33 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Would you mind if I posted the link to my facebook? I'd tag you in it too if that's ok with you.
    September 1 11:45 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This review is one of the nicest things someone has done for me in a while. I feel like I owe you a favor.
    September 1 11:39 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I love the review! It seems like you really understood what I was trying to go for with it. Don't be discouraged by the comments. Half of this site are trolls anyway, it's really nothing to get worked up over. I'm not even hurt by that 2 rating. It's kind of relieving actually. I've only got positive response thus far from this EP so it's nice to see a different opinion to let me know what I need to improve on. Are you sure you want itd? It's really not as bad as some are making it to be,
    September 1 11:38 PM
  • Futures still regaining my energy but i should be back to normal in a few months i hope!
    September 1 10:33 PM

    September 1 09:35 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Ok, I just put it in the database.
    September 1 03:42 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I liked that Secede song. I'm not too familiar with electronica but it was cool. Hmmm. Do you think if I made an artist page for it then it would accept the review?
    August 30 03:48 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is some great indie folk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6gEUa2g9cI
    August 28 04:33 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Not too impressed with the new AF song.
    August 23 04:14 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The music in that Walkabouts song is nice, but the vocals are a bit much for me. I wouldn't even know how to go about digitizing songs with a turntable. I hope you can figure it out so I can hear that song. Have you heard the latest Helios album? I heard a couple of songs from it and it's some really uplifting stuff.
    August 20 04:48 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is a nice post rock song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKFx-f1PmDo
    August 11 02:06 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It sounds pretty good but it's hard for me to really judge because I haven't listened to this type of post hardcore for a while now. I thought of Underoath at the beginning but toward the end I'm not sure what to compare it to.
    August 11 12:51 AM
  • Greem thanks)
    August 5 03:17 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've only listened to this a few times but it was kind of refreshing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXRkWMkb0-4
    July 29 04:33 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars There's some good stuff on this album. Reminds me of Brand New a bit. I especially like the part from 2:10 to the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEZ2ifTZubI
    July 27 07:50 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Wow, I'm not sure what to say. That's really cool to know that my music has had an effect on someone like that. I think the thing I like least about it besides the length is that while I think the tracks are in the order that they should be they don't really flow into each other very well.
    July 25 05:01 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Lol. Yeah that sounds about right. I could give you the original master too if you want. It's a little more compressed sounding but a little more clear as well. I didn't like it much though because it didn't sound as natural but if you want I could upload it for you
    July 23 03:51 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I'd be humbled by a review, but it's up to you.
    July 21 05:27 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I'm happy to hear that. Thanks, I appreciate your feedback. Yes, I know it's short, but I like to think in terms of quality over quantity. At least there's no filler.
    July 20 09:29 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Hey my instrumental album finally got mixed and mastered. Hope you like it. https://greengrassformiles.bandcamp.com/releases
    July 19 09:19 PM
  • Futures oh nice! texas is the reason is one of my fav 90s emo bands for sure. blue boy is prob in my top 10 emo songs
    July 17 07:45 PM
  • Futures i tend to agree for the most part. what have you been listening to this year though?
    July 17 07:28 PM
  • Futures yo man you got any 2016 emo recs?
    July 15 06:30 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's nice. I've only heard his first album though
    July 10 09:53 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That's pretty great. I think I'll check more of their music out.
    July 6 05:40 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Speaking of Owen it looks like his new album just leaked. I'm listening to it now.
    July 2 05:37 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars No problem. All of his albums are good sleeping music. I remember I used to fall asleep to his album Rustic Bulls*** a few years ago when I discovered him. He's like a more dreary Owen
    July 2 05:25 AM
  • lazyeye i hope so man. but anyways it good to hopefully have this all behind me. nice to be living life a little worry free for the meanwhile at least.
    June 28 04:54 AM
  • lazyeye yeah. i just didn't want to deal with that so i left for a while. mods didn't give a s***.
    June 27 06:57 PM
  • lazyeye thanks man. guy is such a egotistical prick. he also likes to dox me posting my name and pictures
    June 27 06:35 PM
  • lazyeye thank you so much man. basically pots harassed me off this site making fun of the fact that i have cancer and kept telling people that i was making it up.
    June 26 05:29 PM
  • lazyeye yeah i am. can't exercise or anything without getting exhausted.
    June 25 07:00 PM
  • lazyeye i'm well man! so i finished treatment about a month and a half ago. i'm now on surveillance every few months they will do a check. hopefully this is it man!
    June 25 05:59 PM
  • lazyeye hey man it's futures! how's it going?
    June 24 10:15 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've known about this band for a long time but I just found this. Haunting stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94g3bhPtvrI
    June 21 11:51 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is glorious. https://northatlanticdrift.bandcamp.com/track/sun-dial
    June 20 11:46 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The Hotelier song "Soft Animal" is amazing though. I wish I could have wrote those lyrics.
    June 15 05:37 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That Veils song is cool. Nice guitar melodies. Their song "The Nowhere Man" made me think of Zookeeper. I liked the new Hotelier album better than the last one, but yeah, still can't say it's amazing. I've become a little more judgemental when rating albums now compared to when I first started rating albums.
    June 15 05:35 AM
  • Parallels In one of my old lists you said only believe me with a picture and a timestamp lol
    June 12 06:43 PM
  • Parallels I'm almost 5 years late, but here's your pic and timestamp
    June 12 03:50 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Here's another link for that song. https://elskavon.bandcamp.com/track/anda
    June 11 04:22 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The first few songs of that TMP album sound pretty good. I'll have to listen to the rest of the album eventually. It made me think of this emo rock band I found a while back. Catchy stuff. https://passingastarfighterband.bandcamp.com/track/fair-weather-together-2
    June 9 02:55 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This album is quality ambient post rock like Slow Dancing Society and Helios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlQmK-SoeIw
    June 9 02:53 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Thanks I'll check it out
    June 4 12:17 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I discovered this ages ago, but was surprised to see such few views on it. It's the guitarist from Cap'n Jazz and Ghosts and Vodka. Just gorgeous guitar lines. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugxmXpyObcw
    June 1 06:11 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Maybe a little. I bet singing again with AF has helped.
    May 29 06:10 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars On first listen it sounds to me like just another Owen song. More of the same. But for some reason that's an exception for Owen. I guess maybe it's because he does what he does so well. It's beautiful.
    May 25 09:36 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Finally some new Owen. https://soundcloud.com/polyvinyl-records/owen-lost-1
    May 25 09:09 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This album is really good. Heroine is probably my favorite track. The first song is probably the weakest but even that song is pretty good. The vocals are somewhat unique for the genre. The album doesn't seem to have much attention online though I was surprised to see. https://laquerelle.bandcamp.com/album/home-a-beautiful-place-to-get-lost
    May 18 08:25 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I'm excited to put it out but I'm actually not in too much of a hurry at the moment. Maybe it's because I just finished another project that I'm waiting to be mixed and that metal one is also close to being done with my friend only having one more song to record vocals for. Everything OK with you?
    May 2 02:51 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've got one more song left for tracking guitars. I have some ideas for the vocals but haven't recorded any yet. Not sure how long that's going to take, but I don't want to rush it and not be happy with it so if it takes all summer then oh well.
    April 28 05:58 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I listened to it. Not sure how much I like it, but it's definitely very innovative. A lot of the lyrics are hard to understand though.
    April 28 01:18 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is a project from the bass player of Gleemer. Solid stuff. https://thesebashfulclaws.bandcamp.com/album/everything-all-at-once
    April 12 04:40 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That sucks, If you still can't find a job maybe you should consider moving elsewhere? Yeah I've got two more songs to record and then do vocals for it.
    April 10 09:44 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's pretty cool. I'm not having much luck finding new music lately. A little frustrating. Have you been?
    April 5 04:45 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Happy birthday!
    March 24 04:10 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Too bad. He must have some other similar songs.
    March 7 09:00 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars No, I just came across that on youtube. I'm not sure that song is from an album. I did a search and couldn't find one.
    March 6 08:31 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This is moving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNl916LJSY8
    March 5 05:06 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's crazy how much this sounds like Owen. His voice needs a little work but I'd say everything else is up to par with most Owen material. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9emyZxQUCpk
    March 4 02:59 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I came across that album on bandcamp before but wasn't too keen on it.
    February 29 04:33 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars The only similar enough album I can think of right now is Owen?s self titled. You can never go wrong with Hammock. I?ve fallen asleep to their albums more times than I can count.
    February 28 05:27 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That does sound like a good title. Maybe I?ll use it. Haha. Sorry to hear you?re still looking for a job. That must be really tough. I don?t know if I would say being sober has influenced my writing but it has given me more motivation and drive to write and record. I think it?s basically because I?m not too tired or hungover to care and I have more time since I?m not busy getting drunk.
    February 28 05:26 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars music much lately except for some bands I already know that had new releases. How are you doing?
    February 25 05:48 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I?ve been fine. Studying a lot for my human diseases class. There?s a lot to remember. I?m finishing up recording this instrumental song that I should have done by tomorrow. I think I?m going to have four instrumental songs I?ve recorded over the past year released as an ep before I finish this emo ep. Other than that I?m a little over a month away from being a year sober. I can?t believe it?s been a year already. Time really seems to fly by with work and school. I haven?t been looking for new
    February 25 05:47 AM
  • Futures that's true man it's all going well! btw any 90s emo recs for me? just looking for some stuff i might have missed
    February 10 10:27 PM
  • Futures not sure yet unfortunately.
    February 9 11:24 PM
  • Futures ah man flicker is absolutely incredible. i'm doing well man! reacted a lot better to chemo this time and radiation is going well.
    February 9 04:43 PM
  • Futures hey man been getting back into emo again lately. have you ever heard time spent driving- just enough bright? incredible album.
    February 7 04:53 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I never got into the genre mainly because I find the instrumentals kind of boring. This song isn't bad though.
    February 5 07:39 PM
  • Futures hey man i'm doing alright! starting up the next part of treatment radiation and more chemo.
    February 1 03:52 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars t can really be done to prevent violence. It?s just human nature. I?m not really familiar with Bloomberg but I think it?s too late at this point for anyone to enter the race. I think most people have already made up their minds.
    January 31 04:40 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I think as far as preventing gun deaths and crime gun control and gun free zones are useless. And there is a lot to back that up. Criminals don't buy their guns at stores and get background checks they get them from other criminals. Given America's obsession with guns and that there's more guns than people in the U.S. a prohibition seems nearly impossible and yes, I think would do even more damage if it somehow happened. I'm not sure what the solution is but I don't really think there's much tha

  • Iamthe Nightstars Yes, this is not a very good election this time. Fiorina had one strong debate performance, but otherwise is pretty forgettable and kind of blends in with the rest of the crowd. Rubio comes off as sincere and trustworthy and has been very good in earlier debates. He has a decent shot at winning being 3rd in the polls right now. The problem with him though is that he's very comparable to Obama. People are calling him the gop Obama. But I think I would rather have another Obama than Trump, Clinton

    January 27 08:55 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars people are supporting him as he?s definitely incompetent with no political experience and has some irrationally stupid ideas. I can?t say I like Sanders much better. I could be wrong about him. He might be able to do some good things but I strongly disagree with his socialist ideas. If it does come down to Trump/Sanders I might end up voting for Gary Johnson of the libertarian party. Even though my vote wouldn?t matter at least I would be voting for someone I like and supporting the libertarian
    January 27 08:55 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Yes, his chances are slim unfortunately, but I think he's the best option as all of the other candidates want big government. I agree with Paul's ideas more than any of the others. I believe this country could really benefit with a more libertarian political style but I think because this type of philosophy is still in its early stages a lot of older people that are making the decisions right now are more stubborn with their views. This whole Trump thing feels like a bad dream. I don't know why

  • Iamthe Nightstars Yeah, I passed with A's. It just sucks though because of work I can only take about two classes a semester so it's going to take me around six years to finish a two year degree.
    January 23 07:38 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Yeah, it's a great album. He's going to release another one this year too. I just started my new semester this week.

  • Iamthe Nightstars I've never heard of them before. This song has a great atmosphere though. I might have to check out more of their stuff. Talons' dedicated a song to Carissa's Wierd on his new album. https://talons.bandcamp.com/track/song-for-carissas-wierd
    January 5 04:29 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Good to hear. Mine was good as well. I had my older brother and his wife and niece and nephew travel here from Wisconsin so that was cool for a change.
    December 27 10:29 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Thanks, you as well. How was your Christmas?
    December 27 05:00 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've heard good things but I never got around to watching it. I'll have to put it on my list.

  • Iamthe Nightstars I don't know why but I always seem to have a soft spot for samples in songs. The content in this sample is really interesting. I never thought of things this way before, but it kind of makes sense. https://holdoncaulfield.bandcamp.com/track/louie
    December 17 10:26 PM
  • Futures yes it is! feeling a little better already. didn't know this was going to be so hard. hardest thing i've had to do in my life.
    December 12 11:34 PM
  • Futures sorry man i was in so much pain after surgery the next few days i just slept. basically slept for like 5 straight days. 10 hour operation. everything went great according to the doctors!
    December 12 11:19 PM
  • Futures thank you so much man. means so much :]
    December 7 06:16 AM
  • Futures hey sweet! your recs are usually sweet so i will def add that to the list man. actually i don't know if i told you but i have my surgery to remove some of the cancer on monday.
    December 6 07:38 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's nice. Makes me think of Sigur Ros.
    December 1 05:16 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars A condenser mic is great for picking up a lot of sound. I also use a mic stand and a pop filter (very cheap accessory). Otherwise though I don't really have any other sound equipment. I recommend a big quiet room like a basement. This site has some good tips. http://ehomerecordingstudio.com/acoustic-treatment-101/

  • Iamthe Nightstars Wow. That's crazy that they would let in one million refugees in just one year. With all the problems they seem to be causing Germany it's no wonder a lot of countries don't want them. Not to say that they are all bad people but you would think they would show more gratitude for letting so many of them in. That Stratford 4 song is beautiful but the vocals are lacking a bit.
    November 26 12:01 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars were only going to let 10k in. So it?s like playing the lottery for whoever would have been able to get in.
    November 21 05:37 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Interesting. I'm just very weary of the middle east. It doesn't seem like there will ever be peace there. You make a good point about the refugees but it looks like the U.S. senate passed a bill yesterday to not let them in. I can't help but think about how other countries must really hate America when we do something like that. A lot of people here are mad that the senate did that but I feel like it doesn't really make a huge difference to the refugees anyway. There's 4.3 million of them and we

  • Iamthe Nightstars I can?t say I blame the people for running at the concert from guys with automatic machine guns, but with just being three shooters I think that there definitely could have been fewer deaths. Especially if France didn?t have strict gun control laws. I?m not too educated on the subject but do you feel like Islam is supporting Isis? Or not doing anything to make the situation better? And I feel like I could say the same thing about American politics. I must admit I am a little nervous about Syrian
    November 18 05:44 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars How is everything going where you're at right now? I just heard about a shootout in Paris that happened an hour ago.
    November 18 05:18 AM
  • Futures thank you so much man :]
    November 16 08:51 PM
  • Futures this seems to be normal procedure regarding cases like this. luckily the chemo has worked well enough so far to shrink it so the doctors can try and take out as much as they can
    November 16 04:20 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I'll be sure to get around to it eventually then.
    November 15 05:16 AM
  • Futures pretty good man! i have some pretty exciting news. i'm having surgery next month to remove a bunch of the cancer.
    November 14 08:56 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I still have only been listening to the newest album but it's really good. The first and 6th song are my favorites. It's some really heavy stuff. I'm anticipating hearing Outminded. Did you bother to listen to the first one?
    November 12 12:51 AM

    November 10 03:44 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I can see the TWBF comparison. I thought the new Foxing album sounded a lot more mature and consistent than their first album. I feel like the song "Eiffel" was a better version of what Pianos Become the Teeth did on their newest album. That Apple of Discord song is probably the best song on the album. The rest I feel is kind of average indie, but I haven't made a final decision yet. I uploaded it for you so you don't have to waste your money if you end up not liking it. Lol.
    November 10 03:40 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars You might want to give the new Foxing album a try. I was skeptical because I didn't like their first album that much but decided to give it a listen after seeing all the high ratings for it on here. There's some beautiful songs on it.
    November 4 05:27 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I don't think you have sent me that before. It sounds alright but it's too short to judge so I'll have to sample the album.
    November 4 05:14 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's still weird to think that they are working on new material. It's a good thing too because I can't listen to their old songs anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kk5oF-bH9M
    November 1 07:08 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars This song is cool. The beginning and end is post rock kind of like ABC. It gets more progressive rock toward the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCleQHfVTDw
    October 28 04:31 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Yeah, my semester is done a few weeks before Christmas. Sorry to hear you're still jobless. Ha, that would be cool if we could play together. I hardly have a chance to play music with anyone anymore. All of my musical friends live pretty far from me.
    October 28 04:30 AM
  • Futures Totally agree with that. Probably my favorite emo song honestly.
    October 28 12:26 AM
  • Futures Did it again haha
    October 28 12:24 AM
  • Futures Damn rest of your post got cut off haha. Stupid ampersand lol
    October 27 09:36 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I've been recording a little here and there, but it's a lot harder to find time and motivation with school and work going on. I think I'll be able to get a lot more done in between semesters soon at the end of the year. A friend heard my metal ep and wanted to record vocals for it so I have that to look forward to. Anything new with you?
    October 27 05:25 PM
  • Futures Coming along great! Lot's to listen to still! Just listened to Penfold- Our First Taste of Escape and really liked it. I didn't even know it existed somehow haha.
    October 26 10:20 PM
  • Futures Hey I think you might dig the new So Hideous album. Nice cinematic feeling post rock with a little black metal influence.
    October 26 07:38 AM
  • Futures Interesting man. I fully support pretty much all independence movements. Makes no sense keeping people under rule like it's the middle ages.
    October 20 12:22 AM
  • Futures Huh I had no idea about the Flemish independence movement. Explain to me a little more.
    October 19 11:47 PM
  • Futures Hey that's cool man! I love soccer. I am a huge Chelsea and United States national team fan. Must be exciting for you being from Belgium. National team is looking incredible.
    October 19 06:47 AM
  • Futures Huh interesting! Are you a football fan?
    October 16 09:11 PM
  • Futures Oh cool! Is English your second language then?
    October 15 07:20 PM
  • Futures Thanks for the concern though it means so much man. Where are you from by the way?
    October 14 11:18 PM
  • Futures The outlook is looking pretty good man. I had a CT scan a few weeks back and all the cancer cells had shrunk by about half.
    October 14 11:10 PM
  • Futures I don't mind sharing man. I have thymic cancer a rare cancer that has to do with the production of white blood cells. It's usually 2 or 3 days after I feel pretty sick then a few days of being really sore and tired. Other than that it hasn't affected me to much man. I'm very thankful. Just thank god I'm young and in good shape.
    October 14 10:12 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars That Kilowatthours album is solid 90's emo if you want me to upload it for you. I just wish the vocals were higher in the mix.
    October 14 08:51 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I downloaded their last album on bandcamp because it was free. I?ve only listened to half of it but I was impressed with how heavily emotional it sounded. It kind of reminds me of that In the Wake of Giants album but unfortunately that album didn?t stick with me after many listens. I think this might be better though. I?ll probably get the other one once I?m familiar with this one.
    October 14 08:28 PM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's interesting how emo is still such a misinterpreted genre with how many bands there are. With all the high regarded bands and more obscure bands we keep finding how is it still that 90% of people think Hawthorne heights is emo? Lol
    October 12 12:30 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars Oh no, I was replying to your last comment on here. I replied to your youtube comment on youtube. Haha
    October 12 12:26 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars It's hard to come across, but when I do it's usually refreshing
    October 11 09:16 PM
  • Futures Totally. Really loving digging into 90s emo gems. So much stuff goes unnoticed!
    October 10 11:07 PM
  • Futures Haha that's crazy man! It just has everything going on. The classic jimmy melodies, the acoustic overlay, the strings on some songs. It's crazy.
    October 10 12:37 AM
  • Futures As such a huge Clarity fan I think I might be up to the task!
    October 9 05:07 AM
  • Iamthe Nightstars I dig it. The ambiance is a bit overpowering but it works.
    October 9 01:12 AM
  • Futures Wow I'm blown away thanks for reccing me that Last Days of April album! It's so good definitely sounds so much like Clarity. Need to review this as well.
    October 8 07:07 PM
  • Futures I agree man. Going to check the EP tonight I think. How Slowly We Forgot, Paris and The Great Depression are all really really great songs.
