|
| Havey pleased to hear that! my organ obsession only started a few years ago but very soon i was getting hooked on stronger and stronger stuff. when i finally got into rene saorgin's orgelbuchlein (those french stops can be *very* colorful) i realized i had a serious problem...
|
| Havey i recently lost all of my digital "collection" (don't ask - it's too embarrassing for me), slowly reacquiring the stuff i care about, so i'll send you the files but no ETA. the question is can your precious ears handle these massive ancient PIPES??
|
 | lols exclamations are a sign that lust for life has returned, even if only mildly. constant struggle has become something more like quiet retribution... i believe i still have a lot of debts to repay.
|
| lols tha man, tha myth, tha legend
|
 | Pheromone oh hell yeah well done congrats on 23 months that's amazing - what is your discord i will add when i am at home. i really appreciate you reaching out

 | MiloRuggles Hello I am conducting a very important survey and I need YOU to answer these simple questions: 1) Are you a fan of The Beths? 2) Do you know anybody who is a fan of The Beths? (exact numbers please) 3) What other people on sputnik are from God's own? ty for your time xx

|

|
| MiloRuggles sssshhhhhhhhh don't tell johnny, the chef and i are cookin and would love you to tear things apart and rearrange and rewrite the intro and do whatever you see fit but sssssshhhhhhhhhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/12EymnFfywBeJvd08vL9e45WIpa7cjLWARaadRmWwKoc/edit?fbclid=IwAR1f94HCm5OKmf5hqxZj280ctvnaep_OCjCXTYGACqMggHq_NGuSvMhgWlY
|
| plane Just floating out here. Stay gold, ponyboy
|
 | Gnocchi Saw your edits my man. They are really on point. Like I said, the short stuff isn't at all my forte so I really appreciate it. If the covid dies down come visit Aust's east coast so I can cook you up a good feed. None of that pit cooking over here.
|
| Gnocchi I feel you. I've been reading guys like Xeno for a while now and can't help but get jealous of how guys like that can convey so so much without deep diving into thousands of words. I've always been that 'straight-forwards' kind of guy but there's a real skill I'm missing there.
|
| Gnocchi I'll leave a link where you can see it in Olympus.
|
| Gnocchi Hi Wines : ] my short form is usually quite less sparkly - it's something I have noticed over these last few years - I will take any and all suggestions in the hopes of achieving personal growth.
|
 | ArtBox Tena koe my dude, it was 100% Real Groovy! That Secaucus vinyl price hurts though, can't hang my bank account account out to dry like that
|
| JohnnyoftheWell oh goodness gracious okay thank you i shall be hiding under this rather uncomfortable but remarkably robust bed, will stab u with my IV drip if you get too close to the bone plz break me!
|
| JohnnyoftheWell hmmm, you maybe may need to make the permissions on ye old google doc public at some point so that willie can post it maybe mm
|
| JohnnyoftheWell what i mean is um um um um um grill me like breaded shrimp, if you so please
|
| JohnnyoftheWell um bold of you to trust me to construct an entire deadline on top of this, imma say sunday because that is the end of the week! and if you're implying that smthng smthng sputnik moderation, imma have to stop you right there. we must simply do our best not to turn into bad apples!!
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Hi hi, sorry this took a while to draw up - a lot of PAIN this week, but mainly i felt there was potential for Fun so i put a lil thought into it maybe. there are several doubtless more cogent qs that will probably occur to me later, but before they do and this gets too in-depth, here you are here you are do your worst: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BcgWAaL5oyWAM1ATGMAoZEg8wabiu09WvT3gAnZj-Rs/edit?usp=sharing
|
 | Dewinged Just some raw ingredients, the dish still needs that Wines' magic broth. Seriously looking forward to your write up friend :*
|
| Dewinged I just skimmed over it like the curious bitch I am and all i can say is... static... folky guitar... less reverb... more static... more folk... whispers, whispers, whispers. Yep, it's a Grouper album looking gooooood. Will share more when I give it a proper listen, sans baby screms, in the cold dark of the night.
|
| Dewinged Wines brother, do the Grouper pls, I'm buried under a pile of work, family stuff and earthly affairs, won't be able to commit.
|
 | jimthefish this EP by Self Insert called "Philias" does some stuff you may dig. basically a smashup of rock, experimental, electronic and rap. you might like to review it heres the first song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbIlkN-iFb0
|
 | tectactoe Dude. This new Lil Ugly Mane album. Holy sheeyit.
|
 | Phlegm not 2 send ur small town anxieties thru the roof but i WORK at side on loL!!!
|
 | dedex that's honestly the best take about this alb so i just stole it, mucho yeet! i dont enjoy it as much as you but ye best take nevertheless
|
 | Jots gonna pitch to Jon Abbey under the moniker of I.P. Freely
|
| Jots ooooo right the Innocent reference right right
|
| Jots release date flub aside I am looking forward to someone saying ?ilysm? via ambiguous textures
|
| Jots very 2001 aesthetic
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene (What did you think of Black Metal 2, but also I love you, I hope you're well, friend.)
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I've let them know, so we can pretend we've not been waiting with (master)bated breath. (But aaa, congrats brother. Cannot wait, come soon pls. :'[)
|
| Jots launching operation: steal wines? laptop back from his dad
|
| Jots new claire rousay is wew
|
| Havey sup winey. it's tanner from high school
|
| Jots oh hey you're quoting my lyrics ^-^ d'aww
|
| Jots ok thx b. I might just send thed links since half of them are defunct / take or leave : ]
|
| BlushfulHippocrene I'll have you know I masturbate nightly to the thought of approval from my friend and lover Winesburgohio.
|
| Jots i have other new/improved material but will spare you for the time being
|
| Jots btw are you able to send feedback for what I sent? even literal noisey feedback
|
| Jots in hindsight I coulda been more cautious (maybe 75%?) anyhoo thx for checking
|
| Jots winesy boy am i right or am i not right (re: olympus)
|
 | ian b *very LEAST, ****in auto-correct, but yeah i know you probably have me added on disc, my @ on everything else (or at least what i know of) is just ianbisntdead across most platforms, and if that would be easier, i'd love to connect with you on there!!!!!
|
| ian b miss u old(ish) friend, it feels like we havent really talked in forever. i hope you're genuinely doing well and treating yourself better than before because regardless of what you think, you are very beloved and i know i'm not the only one that looks up to you on here (from a writing perspective at the very list). miss yr personality but i know you reserve your thoughts for the best reviews this site has probably ever seen lol. i would love to call on discord whenever you're available to talk!!
|
| Havey no see 3 would've been better ur lowkey gay for using increments
|
| MiloRuggles Truthfully I'm not, like, i-intimate with the album or anything and don't think it's perfect, but there's a way a framing it that makes me think it's important as far as artist exports go in a post-eagle vs shark world. Anyhoo, I'll start greasing my glutes up and will send you some form of draft collage of thoughts for you to peruse in the near future
|
| MiloRuggles Yo, you keen to collab (or just constructively critique) on something I'm working on? Could get testy, I'm looking to dive into New Zealand culture as it relates to the weird (and justified, in my mind) success of Avantdale Bowling Club. Thing is, I'm talking broadly, and more perspective would be appreciated. Even if that means telling me I'm just straight up wrong and spanking me for my indiscretions. Maybe that kinky discourse can even be the thing, who knows. Hope you're well xx
|
| Jots isn?t that Gero album an archival release? whatever that means lol
|
| Jots * laughs at the poetic justice as Wines gets a paltry 6.4 on p4k *
|
| Jots also if there is a point where I?m able to dump some of my musical ideas on you (*think golden shower*) then lmk too because your feedback is the cat?s pjs
|
| Jots do you plan on covering that new Ichiko? otherwise I might if false Johnny indeed does also not want to
|
| hal1ax let me know what u think !!
|
| hal1ax ohh faraquet... nice. mwah, okk, mwah: Rapeman - Two Nuns and a Pack Mule; Deep Turtle - There's a Vomitsprinkler...; Lync - These Are Not Fall Colors; Cherubs - Heroin Man; Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep; Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice; Number Girl - School Girl Distortional Addict
|
| hal1ax oohhhhhhh post-hxc eh? hmm, that field can be a little nebulous. give me an example of the post-hxc you're into and i'll rec the sh1t outta u
|
| Jots ok yeah so what was the plan with Stazione? let?s do it, whatever that was
|
 | HalfManHalfAmazing I'll give it a listen bro i was just about to study too. It looks like great thinking music!
|
| Jots so, good news: the guy from Drowse is gonna possibly do my mixing for me, and also possibly: the guy who masters for HANL and Planning for Burial might master for me. things are coming up milhouse
|
| HalfManHalfAmazing those would be my same picks. You have great taste, man. let me know if you want any more dope, underappreciated recs!!!
|
| Jots now that I have some pep in my step we can maybe pull off that La Stazione special in due time
|
| JohnnyoftheWell build a boat for two and I'll row it just for u! Got exploded drawing up mdude, your turn for the next one ;] !
|
| Jots and the former if it helps
|
| Jots I was just flashing u a smile for reasons pertaining to the latter
|
| Jots would u disown me - your son? - if I included another to the Wine list? had a productive, if Eraserheady, evening
|
 | Slex What I do this time?
|
| Jots oh and I threw another career-defining song into the mailbox for you to use as ipecac
|
| Jots it?s no Exit Bags, alas, therein lies the other problem
|
| Jots Yea idk.. I just... dk
|
| Jots are you potentially reviewing Wovenland 2?
|
 | Get Low Ye, I read it recently and loved it. "The Strength of God" was my favorite.
|
| Jots well that was conceptually what I was aiming for
|
| Get Low Do you have a favorite story from Winesburg, Ohio (assuming you've read it, lol)?
|
| Jots hopefully faberge egg-esque; not diaper-esque
|
| Jots it found its way to you? : o ~
|
| Jots no he?s smok.... I mean why yes yes he is
|
| Jots : ]-* ~ cherries up
|
| GiaNXGX I call it avengeful renaissence-tism, if u catch my drift :]
|
| Jots sent another thing. you?re lucky lucky you?re so lucky
|
| Jots I mean, that is a v self aware thing to say
|
| Jots oo. yeah I lack self awareness when it comes to my own stuff
|
| Jots been dwelling a bit on something: to what extent is disparity a bad thing in an album? like, if the general "feel" of the oeuvre is still from a similar place, can sound disparity be forgiven? or did you mean in just the songwriting structure in general? sry, just been thinking on that a bit
|
| Jots *a fish wrapped in newspaper shows up on Momburgohio?s doorstep *
|
| Jots ok i did anyway, i'm a rascal
|
| Jots mind if i send you another thing? it's ... a thing
|
 | Aberf pls do ur job https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=191321
|
| Jots that lambkin rating ooo, wait why haven't i rated that? guess it's one of nature's great mysteries
|
 | Frippertronics quite obvious, it wouldn't be complete without Poets (unless you had another song in mind) - mind you if we popped the question in the top 10 thread, how many people would even be interested? i could probably count three other people besides us
|
| Frippertronics dare I say the top 10 be a solid half of blemish and manafon?
|
| Frippertronics MIND YOU: i made an attempt a few years back, but I think second time's the charm?
|
| Frippertronics also champ how do i convince you to just 5 the discog and convince staff to do a sylvian ranked blogpost i think we can tag team on this bad boy
|
 | granitenotebook thanks so much for all your input! I made replies to your comments on the google doc, and I really appreciate all the work you put into thinking about this. ultimately, in what is probably not surprising, I still agree with my thesis statement haha. but I understand what you're saying and hope the edits I make at least made it a little more cohesive and palatable even when people disagree. again, thanks so much, some of the best and most thorough critique I've gotten, just what I needed.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell ooh intriguing - we shall see, esp. since you make that t-shirt sound so appealing! will try and get the rev up tomorrow :]:]
|
| granitenotebook yes i do, here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gl_R0LPXODhLrCPPLFAZqBmBHxMn-7gc5jXYxxZJStA/edit?usp=drivesdk
|
| granitenotebook hi i wrote a very long piece for sophie's product which i know you like so i was wondering if you would be willing to look over my review
|
| Jots idk i though kim chi was fairly well-regarded in that sense but maybe my lens is a bit lacking
|
 | AyyLienVSPredators https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/81147/Drain-Age-and-Marion-East-End-Sessions/
|
| Jots i'm probably Trixie irl tbqh
|
| Jots the gerogerigegegegege album? prolly at some point but evidently not recently enough to have rated - if you insist it's worth a re-spin then ok. also dunno if you're keeping up with rpdr but crystal methyd looks like how i imagine you look for some reason (take it as a wholesome compliment, hopefully)
|
 | TalonsOfFire I like your blurb too, and I bet we could combine it somehow. I reread yours just now, and one option I just thought of is that my blurb might fit in between your second and third paragraphs
|
 | Sm0k1nB1d3nP4ck when you realise that distress signals, knees and bones, and phlegm bag all contain variations on the same material, you realise that the magic is little more than aural-optical illusion
|
| Sm0k1nB1d3nP4ck weird band to do a discog run for.... 90% of their s*** is doodoo (esp the prog experiments) and they have a penchant for recycling songs (4, 5, even 666 times)
|
| Sm0k1nB1d3nP4ck bro i own a digi copy of distress signals I and i got a bootleg copy of distress signals II free with a copy of body samples I and II. DS1 is the pick of the lot but meeeeh early controlled bleeding is more or less the same 5 songs rehearsed ad nauseum. CB peaked late with shanked and slithering
|
 | ZippaThaRippa I wrote you a thing and you disappeared immediately after! Look at what you?re doing to us! Validate my creative process!
|
 | verdant no seriously i miss you a lot and i want to talk to you about some stuff
|
| verdant detour took too long dick stuck in ceiling fan
|
| hal1ax lovely. i'm sure i'll run across that piece soon. and yea his writing is really refreshing. he's erudite without coming across as lofty or esoteric. there's so much passion and humor in his work too, and sometimes even some bare glimpses into his waning mental health which is always heart-breaking
|
| hal1ax finally checked exiting vampire castle, and some other bits from k-punk. love fisher's reversal in his characterization of the vampire castles advent: it sprung into being not out of a neoteric clinging to identitarianism but from our beckoning need for identity itself to be recognized and affirmed by a bourgeois big other. good rec!
|
| Havey but disappointed you've failed to get toshiya tsunoda into the year-end staff list. hope your infiltration wasn't all for nought
|
| BlushfulHippocrene Yes please, we all miss you and it has been expressed multiple times. Big love.
|
| Havey just discovered "sjw music" thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2reNE_seFSI
|
| plane I will do no foul. Love you, brother
|
| plane Can i have listicle #9 pls
|
| MiloRuggles Did you do an obligatory pelican in scarfieville? You do strike me as a lowkey strangler, but perhaps we can meet at a cafe close to the copshop against my better judgment
|
 | Chortles eek it's so good! Feels really out there compared to his earlier work and gosh I like it. Coincidentally "it should be us" is how i feel about you and I, just for things in general you know
|
 | Gyromania Oh wow you watched it already? You're fast! So glad you liked it, it's a decade contender for me. Insanely tense
|
| Chortles yesss!! this is that good sh!t I needed, thank you. Some deep cuts in there! I almost started watching Ballast this very moment.... But I need sleep. I will have some (less impressive) recs to return with if I can manage it, please hold
|
| Jots o, my dib : [ brandishes official Flenser Have-a-nice-Knife : ]
|
| Jots that soundoff, i c u
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts There are definitely shining moments it's just I found there was a lot of boring stuff in between
|
| hal1ax i wanna be married to martin while having an affair with deleuze
|
| hal1ax but yes Fisher is increasingly important in these trying times
|
| hal1ax this is what YOU need https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/85829.The_Open
|
| Jots "ungainly strumpet" ...a gentleman, you certainly are not
