 | Sowing I love 12 team leagues too but I think we're going to lock things up at 10 this year. I am leaving for the weekend right about now, and when I come back on Monday I won't have time to deal with making sure 2 more people register before the draft time...7:30 EST works for everyone else I've talked to, so it would be great if you found a way to make it. If not, at least set your pre-rankings so it doesn't just do the default.
|
| Sowing Hey man I know it's only been a day but did you get the league invite? You're the only team that hasn't joined yet and since I'm going away for the weekend, I want to make sure things look good for Monday's draft at 7:30 PM EST
|
| Sowing I sent your invite, check your email. The draft time is THIS monday at 7:30 PM Eastern Standard Time (USA), so make sure you adjust accordingly for your time zone. I'm shooting for 100% attendance.
|
| Sowing Out of fairness i want to give the other guys a shot first, but if i don't hear from them soon I'll add you immediately.
|
| Sowing did you tell me via the list that you want in??
|
| aok odd -- i found the whole thing alluring and comforting. to each his own i s'pose
|
 | nicolauz Doing a review for Iradelphic ?
|
| aok http://jessefuterman.bandcamp.com/album/super-basement-ep is the guy from turntable
|
| aok the blue god is cool. almost acoustic trip-hop with martina's voice mesmerizing me into complete compliance. probly something you'd enjoy quite a bit as well if you ever feel the urge for that kind of thing
|
| aok you ever seen 'naked and famous' the documentary? wondering if it's worthwhile
|
 | Willie Ha ha. You don't suck. Those are two very different albums and I can see how someone could prefer one over the other.
|
 | WhiteNoise haha I saw them at the start of the year as part of a festival, was pretty fun although it was sad taht barely anyone was watching!
|
| WhiteNoise Yep I have Solid Gold man. I can't get into it really, I love that they went for a darker direction but it just doesn't do much for me. Seen them live?
|
 | mallen- Look at you all high and mighty with the 73%. haha
|
 | Deviant. Excellent work man. Didn't know you reviewed on triple r though. How long have you been on there?
|
 | word at future sound of london. i would be honored if you were the 12th member of the mezz crew i've got going with people who like good music. hit me up on facebook. i'm really easy to find

|
 | sportsboy i wish we could steal modric, he's that good
|
 | Blindsided I did send it, maybe it didn't go through. I'll send it again. Just do me a favor, ignore butchered he pisses a lot of people off.
|
| Blindsided Sent :) No requirements just as long as the music stays within the electronic/industrial realm.
|
 | Baphomet Good to know you'll be "working" at hopelesssound mate ;)
|
| Blindsided Also I need your email for the invite please.
|
| Blindsided I know you listen to a lot of electronica (Dev hates that term) but that's fine with me, bloc and Ancanthus take care of most of that anyways. Idk we're partially pretty active so as often as you want to post that's fine, I trust your judgement ;)
|
| Blindsided Just was wondering if you would be interested in joining ours, if not just check it out:http://hopelesssound.blogspot.com/
|
| aok you recommend any tricky in particular not on maxinquaye? been tryin to get more into him...
|
 | theacademy yeah i hear that game is like reading a book... I have hardly played KZ3 because ive been swamped with school, but so far it's pretty much what you'd expect... polished as **** but with a weak story solid multiplayer... i have move bought the gun, which is fun as hell for the campaign but tough not to get raped online
|
| theacademy for me, it adds another dimension to the game -- cuz a lot of times once i beat a game i just put it away and never play again (like most of my favorite ps2 games)... so if i like a game i'll grind out some trophie tasks or second playthroughs (but ill NEVER do that for a game that i didn't really like OR waste my time killing myself for a trophy after it stops being fun (like that last dead space cannon trophy))
|
| theacademy Killzone 2 i sorta just suffered through for the story. I might buy the 3rd b/c i just got move, so ill see how the tracking is... the story in resistance 2 blew, but i love the all the guns in that series, especially the chaimera ones... yea we'll rage when it comes out
|
| theacademy na man i rarely review ( when i do i do on other accounts lol)... never been a shooter guy, myself... gonna play killzone/resistance tho
|
| theacademy dude ure a playstation beast... i can't platinum dead space b/c im s*** on the asteroid cannon
|
| WhiteNoise Yeah I'll just have to listen to it more to be honest.
|
| WhiteNoise Yeah Content sounded fun from what I heard. For whatever reason, Solid Gold just will not grow on me. I'm just not enjoying it :S
|
| Willie I see what you're talking about. You can access the thread but can't post, right? Post about it in the For The Meds thread because I'm not sure what the deal is.
|
| Willie Its not closed to anybody.
|
| Willie It's not closed to me... let me log out and see.
|
| http://bottleimpproductions.bandcamp.com/album/everything-was-altered check this one out if you haven't yet
|
 | Xenophanes Yeah, I've noticed you haven't been around lately and it saddens me. I got burned out, well, for about 6 months plus haha. Its only been recently that I've been super motivated. I hope you find some inspiration though, you're an exceptional writer.
|
 | cvlts http://tinychat.com/sputnik2
|
| Xenophanes Yeah I can relate, I live in northern Ohio so the weather is somewhat similar. I've actually broken out Burial's Untrue this week to fit the weather, as well as some max richter.
|
| Xenophanes Mkay, If you regard it so highly, then I shall acquire it!I see the site regards it rather high as well
|
| Xenophanes Yeah I've been trying to review new stuff as well, but with so many awesome Contributor applicants, it is kind of difficult to stand out you know? January you say? I look forward to reading it!
|
 | omnipanzer Not sure if you pay for your music or not but you might want to give this a try. It's mostly acoustic and folksy. Think KT Tunstall: The Hussy's; Tokyo Elephant Brothers
|
| omnipanzer Finally got Foals, I like it. They actually play the "Total Life Forever" track on the radio here I just hadn't caught there name.
|
| Xenophanes Yeah bro I agree, but rest assured Marko, I believe this to be a joke. A very elaborate joke to teach the userbase a lesson in not being complete assholes. I hope the site never comes to that you know?
|
| Xenophanes So I just finished my first play through, and I'm very impressed. I've really never heard a re-master change something so much. It's, idk, "louder?" Mayber, fuller? I'm not sure, but it's damn interesting.
|
 | Bitchfork so basically the split was convoluted and too long-winded
|
| Bitchfork You have his worst album. Get Heresy and Black Stars Hang. Also check into Raison D'etre and Maeror Tri and Enemite and Aghast and Wraiths (this last one only if you want to s*** yourself)
|
| Bitchfork I mean I can understand if you don't like something like moevot because the production's s*** or if you dislike something like lustmord because it doesn't go anywhere but come on raison d'etre... maeror tri... so many
|
| Bitchfork you should sound off because people who don't like it are like "it's ambient 2/5"
|
| Bitchfork Okay well thanks for listening. The strings are actually really loud I don't know how it's hard to hear. I've downloaded the album and I've put it through my speakers and they are a definitive climax.
|
| Bitchfork You didn't like the strings climax in the first movement? God that part gets me everytime and I'm generally hugely critical towards my pieces.
The lingering droning presence was supposed to invoke that dreamstate feel as it's about lucid dreaming and the astral plane and a bunch of other stuff along that line. Then Mappy's death rattles were meant to wake you up.
|
| Bitchfork Yeah it's under Unfathoms and Blasphymartyr
|
| Bitchfork Bitchfork http://www.mediafire.com/?3pm6d1a935snkj1 Tracklisting goes: Astral Plane 1, Astral Plane 2, Disharmonious Latitude, ...And Harmony Escapes, Hello Longitude (Erik), Benadryl Blah blah My side is the Unfathoms side. The Blasphymartyr side is witchxrapist's.
|
| Bitchfork It's for about a minute and it's followed by ambient material so it's not terribly offensive. I'll give you the link in a few minutes.
|
| Bitchfork my side is 14 mins. his is 15-16. my side is climactic drone long-form composition based on my experiences with lucid dreaming and his is 4 tracks that span electronic, noise, psychedelic and black metal territory. so if that doesn't sound like it would give you an anal prolapse...
|
| Bitchfork would you be willing to listen to a drone/psybient split I put out with witchrapist a lil bit ago?
|
| Xenophanes Hmmm, that's a fairly large discrepancy. Maybe the remaster is worth checking out then. Thanks man.
|
| Xenophanes What would you rate PHM, the first release that is.
|
 | AggravatedYeti its almost too good dude, too good. I want to delve deeper into their catalog but I've been so hung up on that record ; )
|
 | silentpotato ya fair enough man alot of people have that same argument but i didn't feel they took away from the album. vessel is a HUGE step up from their debut as well.
|
| omnipanzer Yes to LCD Soundsystem and I would put caribou on that list to. I also like the diamond eyes. I'll look into the other two thanks.
|
| omnipanzer If you were going to rec me one album for the year it would be?
|
| theacademy wats ur favorite song bro. of all time. be honest no judgment here this is a safe zone.
|
 | Enotron gtfo dont respond kill urself i hope yr ratings getd
|
| Enotron choke and die bitch i've had that claim since early september
|
 | Avirov Nice to have someone to respect and disagree with.
|
 | pillowswantyoursoul Breh is my universal word for everything.I was using breh in a positive context on your list, breh.
|
 | Zettel Hi. Long time no see. Nice Tricky review.
|
| Deviant. I haven't actually had a chance yet man, the net at my house has been playing up for the last couple of days. Its def on my to get list. Pitchfork writers are useless anyway, there's too much pretension in their writing for me to take them seriously
|
 | Metalstyles Commented. I haven't frequented sputnik as much lately as I used to, so I'm not surprised I missed your review, so yeah, don't be hesitant to use my shoutbox in the future also, as it's pretty much the only thing I always look at.
|
| Metalstyles I don't remember if you already congratulated me or not, but either way, I humbly thank you for the kind words.
|
| Metalstyles not entirely sure, but I think that yes, they did dheleet it. Idk, they made me, Observer and Seaanemone contributors just like that so I guess the thread didn't matter anymore or something.
|
| Metalstyles First off, YAY, a MassiveAttack sighting! K, now that I got that out, I'm glad you're digging it and yea it's all instrumental.
|
| Willie Yep. It's a good album. I'm glad she's back.
|
| Willie Check out my review for the band modernsextrash. I think it could be something you could get into, and the album is free (link is in the first comment of the review).
|
| theacademy this league looks like it will be better: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=42880
|
| Willie Yeah, Stranger Than Fiction through New America are considered the "dark years" for Bad Religion. Although, they're all decent albums except for The Gray Race and No Substance. New America is a big departure for them, but I love that one.
|
| Willie Have you made it to "Recipe for Hate" yet? I reviewed that album. It's one of my personal fav's (reviews).
|
| Willie It does. The remastered version is even more so. "Generator" is a good follow-up but it has a thinner sound.
|
| Willie The quality stays high through [I]Recipe for Hate[/I]. After that it's hit-or-miss until [I]The Process of Belief[/I].
|
| Willie Ha ha. Into the Unknown was an oddity. It was their attempt at something else. Starting with the album "Suffer" is when things really pick up (but it's not their last experimental album).
|
| Metalstyles cool man, gonna check the review and album out right awawy. Haven't been on sputnik for the last few days, hence me not seeing the feature
|
| Willie I haven't heard it yet, but I'm looking forward to it after reading your review.
|
| AggravatedYeti You're the best :) Yeah I'm very versed in the ways of Portishead (Third was my 08 #1 too) and Tricky, and I've never bothered with any post 'Becoming' Sneaker Pimps. The rest of this tho...I've got lots of work to do, awesome.
|
| AggravatedYeti this is old, but I'm happy, you're happy I wrote some reviews. Also, rec me good trip hop (lol generic q 2 fukin massiveattack), in the grand scheme, I'm a n00b.
|
 | Lions nice. that's a real good album; like a mini disintegration loops. glad to hear you liked it.
|
| Metalstyles I know how you feel man. When you don't review an artist that is well known/respected around here, you usually don't get comments much. I've also learned that myself although obviously I still review stuff that hasn't got any reviews or has got bad ones haha. I see you have a new one up - I'll read it either tomorrow or later today as I'm a bit busy atm
|
| Metalstyles I'm sorry Marko haha. I wasn't on sputnik that much last week, I'll go and read your latest review right away!
|
 | YouAreMySilence Maybe not? :/. Like I love artists like Fennesz, (most of)Brian Eno, Stars Of The Lid.. maybe its the electronica element I don't like? Dammit, idk. Im kinda pissed off that I didnt enjoy it at all aha.
|
| YouAreMySilence Couldnt get the files unzipped, but found another link to An Imaginary Country and I can't say I was impress. I dont really understand how it is really good :/.
|
| YouAreMySilence Hmm I've never had too do anything like that. I'll figure it out though.
Thanks man.
|
| YouAreMySilence I'm just a noob high school kid broheim. And yeah go on tomorrow sputnik tomorrow and we'll do that s***. Umm yeah just let me know when you uploaded it.
|
| YouAreMySilence Yes! I go to my dads tomorrrow, where I can use torrents so please.
But if you can send me it for .zip as well (because of the record I'm making for my gf at the moment) I would deeply appreciate it.
|
| YouAreMySilence Hey man, anyway you could send me Tim Hecker's Harmony In Ultraviolet for zip file? Can't find it anywhere.
|
| Metalstyles Naah, it's not terrible, actually it is better than his last. Sadly though, that isn't saying much and it's still standard fare Rob Zombie. It shall receive a weak 3 from me.
|
| Metalstyles cool, will be looking forward to it. I shall release my Rob Zombie review right away when it streams (official release date is february 2nd)
|
| Metalstyles well not all that quickly tbh. During the last 2 months, I've only done 3 as far as I remember. Yes, I've got the new Rob Zombie all written up and another possible candiate for a review, but other than that, I've really slowed down compared to end of summer/beginning of autumn.
|
| Metalstyles avatar or profile picture? Because if we are talking about avatar, then you better give me a damn good reason why I should change it. Profile picture I can change with ease though
|
| Metalstyles yes dear Croat, Magnus Altkula at your service. How's it going for you?
|
 | Roach lol not really, what about you
|
| Roach i know! how you been?
|
| Metalstyles hi Marko, been a while since we last talked. Sup with you, how's life?
|
| theacademy hey man, did you by any chance get that message I sent u on PSN?
|
 | Chewie I dunno, Weather Underground was cool enough, we'll see how the album turns out I guess.
|
| Chewie lol actually I found out anyways. They're calling it Heligoland, a title I'm not crazy about but should be good regardless.
|
| YouAreMySilence Will do. I'm not to familiar with either artists work, though I have hear Lustmord's newest and it may sneek in on my top 100 of the year ahah. I have it downloaded and put it on as background music once, but will def give it a more tentative listen here shortly.
|
| Chewie hey just wondering if you know, is the Massive Attack album really gonna be called LP5? Because that is a really unimaginative title, : /
|
| AggravatedYeti being your like 50th shout box post doesn't seem nearly 1/2 as important but fukit -- woo! shouuutt boooxxx ppoosstt!!!
|
| YouAreMySilence Indeed it is! I was so sure that nothing would come close to Mono's HTTIW.
Vancouver was a hell of a surprise. Whats your fav of the year?
|
| YouAreMySilence Newest if the stream is still up or you can find it.
It's called Vancouver and it's the best record of the year.
If not check out Avalanche, if you want a 'bigger' sound, and Hospital Music if you want a more intimate sound.
|
| YouAreMySilence Thanks :), the massive review makes me want it really bad. Unfortunatly it's on rar file so as soon as I download that, I'll give it a listen. Also are you a Matthew Good fan? Or know who he is? haha.
|
| YouAreMySilence Oh s***, I completly forgot about it haha.
I took a quick look and came up empty.
Do you have any links or files you can send me? The volume on my comp isn't working :/.
|
 | pizzamachine Hahaha, I was beginning to think no one noticed that!
|
| Willie The industrial sampler is down now, but the Damn the Machine one isn't.
|
| Metalstyles haha yeah that's the usual "lol at your neighbours" comment I get. Damn MX really screwed up with mine.
|
 | STOP SHOUTING! Nah, won't be doing any more of them, as the rest is a bit average. Tho come to think of it, substance is good ...
|
| Willie Ha ha. I think you're the first person to recognize where that came from (and it's been there the entire two years I've been here)... or you're, at least, the first person to mention it. I love that movie and that chick is hot in it (can't remember her name).
|
| STOP SHOUTING! Hi Marko, since you're into Joy Div, you might be interested in my new order low-life review.
|
 | DaveyBoy No idea where your list went Marko. Maybe they are cracking down on sport speak.
|
 | Zip Oh man that was a loooong time ago, I was still regular Zippermouth way back then...
|
| Metalstyles ohhh now I get it, yeah I don't watch soccer that much anymore so I though there will be a Estonia vs Croatia game. Well I hope you guys win. Although England deserves a spot in that tournament though. Still voting for the Croatians though :)
|
| Metalstyles ok, now I'm lost, what exactly are we talking about lol?
|
| Metalstyles in what, soccer? Since you are a huge soccer fan i believe you are talking about that. And you will most probably win as our team sucks dick at this very moment. We don't have any goal scorers, I mean our defence is mediocre, midfield is pretty good,goalkeeper is good too but our forwards just blow.
|
| Zip lol when did I do that?
|
| Lions Yeah La Haine is freakin awesome. It has probably the best ending minute in any movie for me.
|
| DaveyBoy Yeah, I saw the Modric injury. Didn't look good
|
| DaveyBoy I've done a Sound-Off for Sparkle Lounge. Open your eyes Modric.
|
 | MassiveAttack See...now that just makes me so damn lonely metal. THANKS, buddy! And yea Lions it is, fantastic movie in my top 3. :)
|
| Lions Hey is your avatar Vinz from La Haine by any chance?
|
| Metalstyles waht a lonely shoutbox. I'm glad you liked both Cyanotic and Celldweller, if you wan't any more industrial metal rec's then just ask
|
