someone

BlazinBlitzer
12.25.23 | Hella, hell yes! I've known about these guys for a long time but I never gave anything they had a full listen. Merry Christmas! |
garas
12.25.23 | Dropping a Vomir rec to anybody is a pretty savage move, lol.
I'm very scared of my gift... post-hardcore? Huh. (*sweats*) |
ffs
12.25.23 | thank you santan i love you very much. i heard tara many years ago so good rec, a remix version though?? merciful christ! |

Manatea
12.25.23 | Merry Xmas everyone! I’m hung over and this seems like a great way to start my morning |
DocSportello
12.25.23 | Aw thank you dearest santa! Wish I could say this Sinew album does more for me but it’s the thought that counts and I tried : )
Peace and joy to all! |
Sinternet
12.25.23 | ahh uh does my santa want to surreptitiously replace my rec as I have heard that one (and got the record!) already!
great album though of course |
ToSmokMuzyki
12.25.23 | listen to vomir with me we can zen together |
garas
12.25.23 | That's actually a quite enjoyable musical experiment, though. Harsh noise is brvtal, but the same time, it's an interesting thing. |
Squiggly
12.25.23 | There’s no way my Santa isn’t Colton. In any case, I’m eager to frog out. |
Bedex
12.25.23 | ow yea excited for that one it's been on my radar thanks papa Klaus!! |
Zac124
12.25.23 | Excited to check mine. Always need some more black metal. |

Hawks

Conmaniac

zaruyache
12.25.23 | merby chromus to all and to all a good nite |
Egarran
12.25.23 | Yeah yeah not bad it's jangly and introverted and doesn't have a single rating so it's obviously some sputnik user's project. |
budgie
12.25.23 | thats zapuyankees pfp !!! |
RogueNine
12.25.23 | Yes Merry Christmas indeed. |
rellik009
12.26.23 | Merry Christmas boyos |
theBoneyKing

bellovddd
12.26.23 | I shall listen to my album tonight after a night time smoke. very keen!! |
Squiggly
12.26.23 | I really like Frog! I’m still trying to decide what I think about it beyond that. |
porcupinetheater
12.26.23 | Hoping this rec turns me round on Caligula’s Horse let’s go |
Trifolium
12.26.23 | I'm going in, Secret Santa! First seconds are promising! Nice sounds 😠|
Sniff
12.26.23 | Thank u based santa |
Pheromone
12.26.23 | thank u santa i will listen TODAAAAAY |
Scornfyre
12.26.23 | Merry Christmas y'all! Thank you for the rec secret Santa (whoever you are I have no clue). Definitely wasn't for me tho lol. Didn't really like it at all. |
ShapeOfJizzToCum
12.26.23 | Yeeee not familiar with mine at all and skimming the review seems like an easy w |
Sinternet
12.26.23 | thank you blessed santa i will get on this asap pls follow my rym for up to date ratings! |
Zac124
12.26.23 | Just started mine now. Very excited! |
Pheromone
12.27.23 | i enjoyed my rec thank u santa sir i loved some of it and did not gel with some of it
but mostly v good and i will keep listening n listening |
Avagantamos
12.27.23 | this album is really cool; the production makes me feel like i'm a character in a gameboy game. thanks santa < 3 |
bellovddd
12.27.23 | yooo who ever rec'd Machine Girl for me HOLY FUCK.
you get me. thank you. |
theBoneyKing
12.27.23 | @my Santa, I’m on vacation currently so not listening to much music but will try to give it a quick listen before Santas are revealed! |
Hawks
12.27.23 | Yeah whoever rec'd my album did a great job. Shit slayz. |
porcupinetheater
12.28.23 | Thank you Santa! Still not *loving* Caligula’s Horse, particularly in the heavier bits which can get dangerously close to djent, solos more often than not turn into wanky note flurries, and dear god that crime of a slam poetry spoken word track
But when it isn’t trying to do so much there’s some really pretty Melodie’s and textures in there, and that’s at least a decent chunk of the run time as well! |
Egarran
12.29.23 | Aww you're really trying ♥ |
blursuckhard
12.29.23 | Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year m/ ahrd |
Icebloom
12.29.23 | Sweet! Have had some busy (holi)days but I'm gonna listen to my rec tomorrow :) |
Zac124
12.29.23 | Yeah, my album is fantastic. Exactly my taste. Thanks, Santa! |
Sinternet
12.30.23 | enjoyed my album santa baby, thought the hip-hop features were a novel combination and it was consistently a great vibe. not really much in the way of standout tracks for me but its great chill out atmosphere. |
ShapeOfJizzToCum
12.30.23 | Ye mine was an easy 4, great vibes, def the style of hip-hop I lean towards and was surprise I hadn't heard that one. Nice Roots feature. |
theBoneyKing
12.30.23 | I managed to listen to about half of my rec! Good stuff, really nice psych folk vibes with some neat textures and melodies. Looking forward to digging more into it once I return from my holiday and hopefully find a download so it’s easier to listen to. I’m also about 80% sure I know who recced it. 😉 |
SlothcoreSam
12.30.23 | Ok my album was great, gonna listen again before finalising a rating, but sitting at 3.75 at the moment.
I'm guessing it was Ryus |
Icebloom
12.31.23 | Mine is a big album with lots of songs & sounds to take in, so I'm gonna need some more time with it. First impression: I enjoyed the relatively quiet/understated middle section the best. Definitely keeping Pacific Theme. Overall, this maybe a bit too rambly & all-over-the-place for my liking (I am not an adventurous listener), but as I said, time might do the trick. Predicting it'll land in the 3-3.5 territory for me. Thanks Santa! |
myri14
12.31.23 | I powered through my rec last night, holy shit. WTF? |
ToSmokMuzyki
12.31.23 | my rec is perfection |
ffs
12.31.23 | tara is a cool album. disappointed but also relived that the "remix" version was merely a (superior) remaster. thank you santa for looking out for my lacking blackened thrash knowledge |
Pangea
01.01.24 | secret santas are revealed, i hope you all had fun this year! |
ToSmokMuzyki
01.01.24 | LMAO johnny
pangy is that coincidence or is ur algorithm garbage we had each other 2 years in a row |
Pangea
01.01.24 | coincidence probably. i mean i just the random number generator you get from google so it's probably not truly random, but it should work plenty for this purpose i think
and the numbers i assigned each user for the rng was different from last year as well |
ToSmokMuzyki
01.01.24 | fair enough just poetic justice i suppose |
RogueNine
01.01.24 | Thank you neekaclaus for the gift. Not totally sure how I feel about it yet but more listens are in order. |
anat
01.01.24 | Manatea I’m so sorry buddy but I can’t get comfy with dear hunter but I appreciate the thought anyway, and how bout them rams?! |
theBoneyKing
01.01.24 | Eyyy, thanks Doc! That’s two years in a row I guessed my Santa was Johnny and was wrong. 😂 |
dedex
01.01.24 | fuck i totally missed this will jam in due time!!!!! |
Sniff
01.01.24 | Thank u based p4k |
Manatea
01.01.24 | @anat I’m so sorry i felt really bad lol. I’m a terrible Santa but FUCK YEAH GO RAMS
Also bedex! Thanks for the rec!!!! |
Egarran
01.01.24 | myri14 eh! Never knew ya, was guessing phero. It was a very exclusive rec, I feel privileged. |
Trifolium
01.01.24 | budgie you did very very well yes yes thank you 💚😠|
JohnnyoftheWell
01.01.24 | Whoops forgot to bump here - enjoyed a few spins of my album, was going to bump the thread and then saw three DDD posts in a row with a 5 rating so did the maths. Vocals were a bit snotty, but otherwise that's some mean fuckin hardcore - thank you santa! |
anat
01.01.24 | no manatea you are a perfect santa, I’m the issue here!! |
Manatea
01.01.24 | @anat lol ily < 33333
Happy new year everyone |
Squiggly
01.01.24 | Happy new year! I hope DDD liked his rec! I certainly did mine! |
someone
01.01.24 | oh ffs (wink wink), you've made me warm up to Sisters of Mercy. it's a thing this type a toruney does, it forces one to really engage with a content they may have previously dismissed, for it now being a gift one has to observe objectively. i rather enjoyed it. so thanks aplenty for managing to get me to bump my inner rating of the album, ffs. |
budgie
01.01.24 | thanks again someone, its pure sexual energy |
budgie
01.01.24 | trif, the floating in silence EP in your shoutbox is the ACTUAL gift, the nuage lp was just an amuse-bouche |
budgie
01.01.24 | also thanks @ pan for doin tis |
Trifolium
01.02.24 | 💚🥰
They work beautifully together as a meal.
Just like...
...us. |
Egarran
01.03.24 | Together you guys are chicken salad ♥ |
JesperL
01.03.24 | THANK YOU porc sorry i forgot to guess but album is lovely! hard to find/jam but it's a great vibe
and thank u pan this was great as per :] |
PitchforkArms
01.03.24 | The holidays fucking wrecked my presence on here - took like two weeks off of work and spent exactly zero minutes on my computer at home. Have missed you stinkies...
@sniff - u welc, hope you enjoyed. wasvery difficult to find something you hadn't already heard!
@con - am just now seeing this so I will spin my gift this week :) |
DDDeftoneDDD
01.03.24 | Eieiei! Only today I'm checking Jesu. Tk you squigly santa! Looking fw.
I'm glad Johnny dug my rec, I tried hard not to take many risks. I got used to those vocals. They get a little doomy/post an then core on subsequent albums. They all worth it.
Btw you were supposed to avoid threads before finding out eheh |
myri14
01.04.24 | I'm glad you liked it Egarran! I was really amused that you thought it was someone's project because it definitely has that vibe, but this is a guy who toured with Kid606 in the 2000s and released some stuff on his label. Thanks Smok for the recommendation, I've never heard anything like it. It was weird but I liked it way more than I thought I was going to. |
ToSmokMuzyki
01.04.24 | yw myri it was the only thing i could think of after ryus failed to help me |
ffs
01.04.24 | glad you liked it some1, was quite nonplussed by your extremely broad solicitation post in the other thread so picked a rec based on a 5 of yours that i knew (red lorry yellow lowwy)
spun absu a few more times its a cool fun album. thanks to eg for a nice egg in this trying time |
Ryus
01.06.24 | only just getting to my rec now, its very nice like comfort food
i like the raw production a lot too. thank u garas sir |
Pheromone
01.14.24 | @rogue some of that album i loooove - treble chair is a delight |
RogueNine
01.14.24 | Yaaaay Phero, shout-out to my local scene. |
