 | Atari Glad to hear it!! Doing pretty good as well, my daughter?s 4 now and time?s going too fast but just embracing the chaos lol. I finally got a boss I love that doesn?t micro manage me so that?s been a huge plus.
|
| Atari Hell yes on that Fireworks rating. It?s been a minute, hope you?ve been well! :]
|
 | Tundra That's fair enough I suppose
|
| Tundra I quite like the new version of Uzumaki. You didn't like Perfect Blue, House of Mirrors, Gaslight??
|
 | SitarHero Supercop is my favourite Police Story. It was the first one I saw as a kid and I loved the comedic elements. I was actually kind of schocked when I watched the first one and discovered that it was a much more serious movie. Also, Michelle Yeoh and Maggie Cheung...mmm MMM!
|
 | someone need some spicy juicy tasty recs of 50-100 ratings. could you throw me an album or two?
|
 | I know he wrote a lot for lakota. He wrote the whole first EP himself. I really don't know much about this new project
|
 | elephantREVOLUTION New project featuring the vocalist from Lakota De Kai https://funeralfiresband.bandcamp.com/album/blood-of-the-rat
|
 | Orb Here's an incredible concert I think you'll really enjoyhttps://youtu.be/8K5vAb4T6B0
|
| Orb Check the Mystic State LP that just got featured on the front page! Its out on Friday :]
|
| Orb I can get you sorted with some new tunes for sure.
|
| Orb Same here. Life's moving upwards!
|
| Orb Keeping well m8?
|
 | reduviidaze hey dude, saw your old comment on the review for this and of that by chronic future, where you were looking for their song "day to live", because you couldn't find it anywhere. and i just made an account on here so i could let you know that someone posted it on youtube a bit ago, here it is: https://youtu.be/wham7-5INUI
|
| SitarHero Yo you should join the contrib group FB chat to stay abreast of stuff.
|
| Atari Ya that Microwave is awesome! Looks like half the site agrees, haha
|
| elephantREVOLUTION They didnt officially break up. They left it kind of open ended and said they wont be back for "a while." So I guess they could revive the band at some point
|
| Atari Never heard them but I?ll check it out!! Hope you?ve been doing well
|
| elephantREVOLUTION I delved a little further into the Sianvar thing. So they recorded a whole second LP but Joe wasn't happy with Donovan's vocals so they scrapped the album. Most the songs that were on it have been repurposed for Royal Coda, a couple are being used for Nova Charisma and one is being used for DGD. According to my sources
|
| elephantREVOLUTION Yeah that's how swancore be. I found nova charisma underwhelming but i keep listening to it anyway
|
 | Manormanmark Yeah and I'm not tryna beef with deviant every day
|
| Manormanmark Nah you'd have known me back in 2010-2013. I was quite notorious back then
|
| Manormanmark Not an alt, a returning veteran from the heyday
|
| SitarHero Lol, funnily enough I know that guy. Played a show with him a couple of years back right around the time he was getting big.
|
| elephantREVOLUTION So with the Sianvar thing... Will Swan joined Royal Coda so I'm 99% sure they're repurposing the Sianvar LP that they already recorded. They're just having Kurt record new vocals.
|
 | Slex Nah dude I can feel that, just a nice little slice of nostalgia done well, fun album
|
| Slex Really enjoying how ?old school? mid 2000?s pxh this Acres album is
|
| Orb Now get on that Dubamine lp and crank the sub bass!
|
| Orb Glad ya dug it bruv!
|
| Orb hey bb, heres the bengal sound https://wwww.digitaldiggers.co.nz/index.php/2018/07/23/bengal-sound-culture-clash-2018/
|
| Slex Meh the hierarchy is what it is! I really appreciate that though, thank you
|
| SitarHero You've gone from Warrant to Cause of War? Are you a lawyer by any chance? JK. I noticed that you and Spirit are the only contribs who have the new He Is Legend rated. Review incoming or life still got you tied up?
|
| Atari you should make a review comeback for Russian Girlfriends!
|
| Atari Lame that it only has 2 votes (ours included) lol. I?d review it but just too busy lately unfortunately. Hope your baby is going great, btw!
|
| Atari so yeah that Russian Girlfriends kicks major ass my man. It's like whacky Letlive.core meets 90s Everclear - or maybe that's just me. dig the variety
|
 | SlothcoreSam Thanks Calc, Newan Afrobeat is great. Awesome blend of styles, culture and catchy too. You sod check out the 2 recs i posted, I Hate My Village and Golden Dawn Arkestra, both are psych infused afrobeat.
|
 | neekafat looks so good make a grown man cry
|
| elephantREVOLUTION I know i already hit you with the shin guard recommendation, but you gotta check out the split they put out with for your health. It's even better than the lp
|
 | Friday13th No problem, we figured it out. Feel free to prog with us when you can!
|
| Friday13th Hi Calc, wanna join another prog tournament? We've been looking for days to find a last contestant! Check my list.
|
| SitarHero No worries man! Congratulations on the baby and good luck with the classes! :]
|
| SitarHero A-yo Cherry Pie! I was wondering if you'd review my EP for me. It's being mixed at the moment but is due out on June 15. I figured that you're the contrib who'd be most likely to appreciate/critique it.
|
 | OwMySnauze Thanks for the Foxvibes rec. definitely reminiscent of the Chon demo era
|
 | TalonsOfFire Were you planning on reviewing Our Oceans at any point? You and I are the only Staff/contrib who's rated it. I might or might not review it eventually
|
| Atari and huge congrats on your new dad status. life changing stuff isn't it?
|
| Atari very belated thank you ;)
|
 | Get Low Welp, that's awkward. There was more to that shout but it must have gottend somehow. I was going to fake-rant about how you have that rated higher than Program Music 1, but I messed up the shout somehow so nevermind, just ignore, lol.
|
| elephantREVOLUTION You gotta check this https://mandarktheband.bandcamp.com/album/failed-experiments
|
| elephantREVOLUTION I actually really like the vocals. I think they're more distinct and unique than a lot of bands doing that style. Had no idea submotion released a new album, wtf
|
| elephantREVOLUTION You might like this. Reminds me of old closure is Moscow and icarus the owl. https://voxvocis.bandcamp.com/album/star-meissa
|
| Atari lol idk it's just so damn nostalgic but now he has new things to sing about so it doesn't feel redundant
|
| Atari confirmed: new senses fail ****ing rules
|
| Atari thoughts on new senses fail tracks? definitely gonna be a nostalgic album
|
| Atari 2nd half of the album is better imo - especially the closer
|
| Atari you'd probs dig the new Super Whatever LP - you liked some songs off their EP iirc. fun album with lots of variety
|
| Atari glad to hear it man! I personally found it more interesting than the new Julien Baker, but I've been meaning to revisit that one
|
| Atari yeah I heard about the train, pretty crazy s***...my bad on the late reply. anyways hope you have a great Christmas, Calc
|
| Atari ok that White Ward is growing on me. I'd actually argue the black metal parts are quite unremarkable, but the horns and jazz sections make for some nice soundscapes.
|
| Atari I hear you man. I was just making my way through some recs and it's nice to see you enjoying a black metal-ish album! not sure I enjoy it as much as you tbh lol
|
 | Ewgads the rosalia album has gone completely under the radar this year it makes me so sad smh
|
| Atari had to do a double take when I saw your rating for White Ward - Futility report, but makes sense with the jazz influence!
|
| Atari hey bud, I think you may really dig Phoebe Bridgers (based on your Julien Baker rating)!
|
 | Conmaniac good s*** im thinking of writing a review for the album. really dug it
|
| Conmaniac woah dude did you just discover Jordan Rakei too?? ahahaha
|
 | cosmopazz http://poleyounger.bandcamp.com/album/polo-youngings-has-died-in-a-car-crash
|
 | Asdfp277 it's a great album :] good find
|
| Asdfp277 i keep reading your username as calQUEEFication
|
 | VaxXi i have no idea. i was taken back by it like no other album ever. its impossible to imagine how he went from El Negro to that.
|
| VaxXi lmao did you hear the signor benedick surprise album CYBR.PNK? It may actually be the worst album of the year.
|
 | Insurrection hopefully yea, gotta ease back into it. i'm really behind on this year's releases
|
| Insurrection hey man, just realized you made contrib (i'm prob late af), well deserved. congrats!
|
 | kascetcadettt here's a thread where you can discuss how fantastic it is to be a part of this moment: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=174557 \\\ don't be scared to share the news with other guys in case i missed someone out and keep shining in the light of this beautiful rock n roll fireplate, god bless, hasanmedia represent
|
| kascetcadettt sieg hi it's-a me smooth brotha from the umpteenth block taggin' em trainz comin' from your favorite station, word on the street is (artuma is gay) my new album came out recently and if that's the last thing i ever do let it be, leavin' the link in your hands my man: http://poleyounger.bandcamp.com/album/go-daylight \\\ feel FREE to 1 it if u didn't like my agressive self promotion campaign, feel FREE to thank me if this album saved your life
|
| Atari haha it's all good if you don't care for it much man. most people don't seem to love it as much as I do
|
| Atari well looks like you liked them better than old gray at least lol
|
| Atari I mean I'm not expecting you to go ape s*** over it haha but I was thinking it could be like a 3.5 for you
|
| Atari dude I know I'm prolly notorious for overrating s***, but the new sorority noise is sooolid. the guitars on "a portrait of" get me every time
|
 | ramon. Your ratings are awesome. Glad to see someone else who shares the same Dillinger and Flying Lotus top picks.
|
 | Frippertronics okay so apparently fb won't allow it unless you message me or something first. so here's my acct: https://www.facebook.com/aaron.webster.754 just hit me up and i'll get it confirmed
|
| Atari About godamn time ;)
|
| Atari Ah didn't see u submitted it yet cause they haven'td the application thread. Good luck buddy !
|
| Atari also you might dig this superwhatevr EP. was gonna rec it on your list but forgot it's from 2016 for a minute :/
|
| Atari get that app in boi
|
| Atari you applying for contrib this cycle?
|
 | bgillesp The download code is yours if you want it. I guess not many people actually wanted it.
|
| bgillesp Snaggle slid in at second for me. I really loved the rec, but I'm just digging the PFM too hard. Sorry about forgetting about you. Just curious, what did you think of the snaggle album since prog rock is so big on your pie chart? I did add it to the database if you wanted to rate it.
|
| bgillesp Saw your comment. I apologize, but I will give you your fair shot, don't worry.
|
| VaxXi Super out of nowhere, but thanks for the indirect rec for that Bad Rabbits album that you wrote a review on ages ago.
|
 | beachdude I did not see your message, sorry... clearly I haven't been on enough recently. I enjoyed your review of Bad Rabbits though! I'm currently reviewing a bunch of releases I enjoyed from throughout the year as a sort of catch-up now that I have more free time, that will be one of them.
|
 | Jots np np. btw there's some discussion of you going on in the olympus thread... can't reveal too much, but keep up the good work
|
| Jots doesn't look like it's taken
|
| Jots if there's a particular album i can check for you
|
 | BlueSwan "maybe this means the contortionist is gonna turn tweedle deedle core"still got it ol calc
|
 | Thealwaysopenedmind Where do you hear touch ups at? I think I heard Mess actually overlap himself one time.
|
| Thealwaysopenedmind That's just his voice, in my opinion. Not every singer can have the edge and power that Kurt and Jonny have. I will admit though, he did not do Times New Roman justice at all. I just think beauty and range wise, he's got it going on more so than the others.
|
 | AtomicWaste Nice! I don't really hear the Scale the Summit, but this is pretty cool. It's amazing how Dan Wieten has gotten himself into every project under the sun in the scene haha
|
| Atari sounds familiar, will check. thanks pal
|
 | Space Jester Hey friend, you commented on my Kashee Opeiah review awhile back saying you wanted to hear the album but I didn't have a source to listen from at the time. If you're still interested in jamming it I've uploaded the whole thing to my dropbox along with the album cover and pics with the lyrics from the booklet. http://www.dropbox.com/sh/51qobo3r7v8c8hr/AADAqtvl8cKStsyR51O7NuiTa?dl=0
|
 | reportingbird Thanks man, i guess i'll look for it before the bandcamp stream is up again
|
| reportingbird Thanks man, i guess i'll look for it before the bandcamp stream is up again
|
| reportingbird Hey calc, i don't know niechec just released a new album. Where did you get that? the band took down the stream for no reason apparently
|
 | anarchistfish go for it if you wanna. dunno if i have the time right now
|
 | tempest-- im not mean i promise here is a rec in good faith || https://hermagicwand.bandcamp.com/album/everything-at-once
|
| Jots i def think it's the perfect late-night album but yeah any time is a good time
|
| Jots curious what you'd think of that Boliden piece - seems like something you'd appreciate
|
 | Piripichotes I got your back bruv... No person can have a personal (as redundant as it may sound) opinion on this website...
|
| Atari It's in airway heights like a 10 minute drive from where I live in Spokane haha. Not a huge gambler, but they have a really nice hotel there
|
| Atari Lol thx dude. Staying the night at Northern Quest Casino tonight, should be a blast :] You may have heard of it since you're somewhat familiar with the area
|
| Jots new Submotion Orchestra
|
| Jots submitted* ty ty
|
| Jots cheers dude, many thanks. 100-150 words would be plenty, but whatever you can manage
|
| Jots hey Calc. still good to go?
|
| Jots if you could have it to me by Saturday that'd be sweet. it only needs to be like a small paragraph, but if you're able to write a bit more in that timeframe then great
|
| Jots right on man. email it to johnnysputnik@hotmail.com . thanks
|
| Jots sup Calc. would you be interested in writing a blurb or 2 for the user AOTY list?
|
 | SachikoM Stay happy then. Sput needs more good vibes. :)
|
| SachikoM well, this place is terrible for new music that isn't indie or metal tbh, so I don't use it for that tbh. I do feel what you're saying about the cycle of sameness, and I agree, it's ****ing s***, but it's nothing to get jaded/cynical about imo. be happy. :D
|
| SachikoM Why so jaded bruh? No reason to let this site wear you down. It's not to be taken seriously by any stretch of the imagination.
|
| SachikoM I could swear you've been here longer than 3 years.....
|
 | Wolfhorde pure coincidence, plus the rainbowdicksword is actually a sputjoke referencing noctus and goes back to '11.
|
 | GooGooGajoob How about you sir! Would you like to review copywrite.int's debut? Here's a full stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvwmFoql0lg
|
 | Arcade not overly invested in patton's many side projects but i won't rule out giving it a listen
|
| AtomicWaste Thanks for the sweet jams, friend! I think it'll take a little while to fully click, but I'm looking forward to listening to it a lot. Never really listened to Exotic Animal Petting Zoo - assuming I should check?
|
| Jots what's your favourite part about what you're doing?
|
| Jots well yea I don't exactly want to teach because I think I'll be "making a difference" necessarily tbh. like, that'd be nice, but above all else I just think I'd enjoy it :]
|
| Jots it's difficult to have a satisfying relationship with your family when you're gone half the year, so there's that. I also didn't really believe in my career - I essentially got paid 50k a year to work out and have fun and train, which as nice a gig as it was, was pretty unfulfilling tbh. it was great for a few years but I'd rather feel more rewarded, nah mean?
|
| Jots I'd like to teach high school physics lol. idk, I've always wanted to get into education. once I realized how I didn't want to make the military my career - for a loooong list of reasons - I shifted gears. sucks having to be back in school tho yeah
|
| Jots life's alright, a bit boring in that I'm plugging away at school now. but, I'm balancing school, work, and family pretty well so I'm happy. it's exam season so my music game has been suffering a bit as well.
|
| Jots hey calc what's good. how'd police training (?) pan out? idk I'm out of the loop
|
 | Cygnatti but anyways, i think you'd enjoy this a lot. this is nu jazz akin to the way flying lotus is nu jazz af, but this has none of the idm/wonky that flying lotus does. instead it has gorgeous downtempo vibes with chill neo-soul singin'. i def think you'd like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBFht9mcU7o
|
| Cygnatti i generally like less traditional forms of music much more now. most standard rock, punk, or metal doesn't do it for me at all anymore. stuff like ambient, folk, numerous electronic genres, some jazz. but tend to really like all things psychedelic. and most forms of POP are very very enjoyable now (be it art pop, or radio pop!) ^__^
|
| Cygnatti By far my fav dance punk, almost my first modern example... Everything else I've heard pales in comparison so far, not I've jammed a whole lot to begin with.
|
| Cygnatti calc jam this i think you'd dig ^__^ http://1989music.bandcamp.com/
|
| Jots mhmmm, i thought of you
|
| Jots https://miloraps.bandcamp.com/album/so-the-flies-dont-come
|
 | Ecnalzen Well, my experience is with their previous album, Thunder Pit. I have only listened to a little bit of the newer one. Try out Highabetic and Forty Creek from here: http://waster.bandcamp.com/album/thunder-pit
|
| Ecnalzen I like em. They are more of that southerny metalcore I have grown to love.
|
| Ecnalzen Did I ever show you the band Waster? If so, did you like it? If you answered yes to both of these questions, they have another album out that I literally just discovered. http://waster.bandcamp.com/album/grip-of-the-hand
|
| Cygnatti very cool, i didn't even remember rec'ing you that. I so glad you dig it! :D
|
| Ecnalzen I'm pretty excited about it. Did it leak? Or is there a stream somewhere?
|
 | ASnideReturns http://www.sputnikmusic.com/news/34370/New-My-Tears-Your-Weapon-EP/ my EP is streaming bro!
|
| Jots ya I saw he had a new one, haven't checked but it's on the list for sure. what do you think of it?
|
| Jots did u ever end up checking l'orange and jae's?
|
| Jots https://miloraps.bandcamp.com/album/plain-speaking might be your sorta thang
|
| Ecnalzen Take One Car is about the only band I have gotten into that does the spoken word thing. Even Mewithoutyou doesn't really appeal to me. Yeah, the music is cool, but I don't think I could get past that vocal style of Lakota. It's like he is just putting ridiculous vibrato on everything he is saying, ha ha.
|
| Ecnalzen If you want some more southerny metalcore, they aren't a bad band to check out. I really liked III and the S/t was pretty good too.
|
 | Shimana Hey man. Yeah there are several reasons for that, cheif among which is that I haven't had time to really be social here. But also, I haven't come across albums that you wouldn't have heard of that are worth recommending. It's probably downtime for album releases, or maybe music is just less distinctive. I'm waiting on that new Strawberry Girls.
|
| Atari You haven't reviewed in several months and I didn't want to seem too nitpicky. They're just minor suggestions anyways haha. 'Twas a very nice review. I'll prolly be checking the album out too. As you prolly know I've been getting more into classical lately but there's still a ton I haven't heard
|
| Atari Hey just a few small suggestions on your review. Second paragraph: rhapsody in blue is 'just simply'..I would just say simply because just simply is kind of redundant. And the last paragraph maybe remove the word probably as the opening word and just start the paragraph with 'my favorite'. It reads better and is more convincing that way ;) great write-up man.
|
| Cygnatti sorry that was my score before my ratings wipe, i'm rating a bit more leniently recently tho so i'll jam it again soon and maybe change my mind! :]
|
| Ecnalzen Yeah, I enjoyed his harsh vocals on the last one. Shame they were pretty sparse this time around. You ever heard Maylene and the Sons of Disaster?
|
| Ecnalzen Aside from your rating, what did you think of the new Take One Car? I just got my copy a few days ago and am really enjoying it.
|
| Jots you bet your boots
|
