 | someone Hiya, whatever you've been up to these past few years of non-Sput activity, your reviews were stellar and I hope you are out there writing stuff anyway.
|
 | DaveyBoy Caleb. Fk, how do I remember your name (or what I thought was your name) after all this time, when I can't recall what I had for dinner last night? Hope all is well mate and you're keeping safe.
|
 | DrGonzo1937 Solstafir? Got into them through otta. Still been meaning to go through their discography properly lol you jammed any of their stuff?
|
 | Observer No, you're good. That makes a lot of sense. So a false sense of affirmation from random strangers? I get that. I definitely fell into that early on as many did, still do. Sound thinking. Still site history and what not. A lot of people have done similar things.
|
| Observer I see what you meant. The site still changes certain words. Bummer you want to erase all of your stuff. Ive always seen this place as a growing playground, where being professional is hinted at and aspired to by many, but if not reached its okay. We arent paid here, and also thats why writing anonymously is an option. I respect your choice though.
|
| Observer I get that. A lot of people are learning how to be introverts.
|
| Observer Glad to see you around again. I have fond memories of our user decade list we did so long ago. Curious though, what sparked your return, if I may ask?
|
| DrGonzo1937 Welcome back, sir. I've heard only great things about you. Only read your latest reviews, but I love your writing.
|
 | Slex Hey bud, do you have a Facebook? Contrib crew has a messenger group and we're tryin to add the new additions!
|
 | SandwichBubble Wasn't around when you were here originally, but congrats on your re-hiring
|
 | WatchItExplode This remains the ultimate music hideaway. Just don't go thinking your fireproof, lol.
|
| WatchItExplode Come back to the fold my friend. You'll enjoy yourself and it cant possibly cause professional difficulty. Site barely exists
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell I'll save it for if I get round to a third listen ;] but that's sweet to hear, looking forward to reading!
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Phew, glad to hear it and sorry again - now give me one hot minute while I dig around for those scathing reviews ;] Seems you're an old-timer with an established (and v lovely) writing style? What brought you back to this pocket of limbo?
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Hello Waior! Apologies for all that; won't re-tailor my opinion, but I'll my rating and hope you have a successful time promoting the album. No offence intended; I'm very much not used to bumping into working artists on Sowing threads!
|
 | Sowing Appreciate the offer but I actually don't even have a working vinyl player at the moment :-( I was happy to buy it, go ahead and sell the vinyl to someone who's willing to pay to support the band!
|
| Sowing Review is up and I purchased the album. Thank you for the rec, I absolutely love it .
|
| Sowing Nice, can't wait to run it by the folks, I'm certain people will be excited to have you back. By the way, that album is - uh - incredible. I can't wait to get something up for it! Definitely in the 4-4.5 range! Hope I can do it justice.
|
| Sowing And I'd love it if you were back! Apply for contributor! (Joking, but also not at all joking) - https://www.sputnikmusic.com/news/41482/2020-Applications-Open/
|
| Sowing This sounds really good, dude. I'll see what I can do!
|
| Sowing I'm already interested. Is it your band, someone you know? Either way let me know the genre and maybe a link to at least one song; if it's not my thing or I don't have time I'll ask around with staff.
|
| Sowing Are you back now? or just checking in. sorry I'm excited to have old users back, ponton came outta nowhere for like 1 month but then left again without saying goodbye :'(
|
| Sowing Just thought about this but you should probably check the new Kevin Morby, seems like something you might enjoy and it's currently my #2 AOTY for 2016
|
 | coneren MY ONE GOAL IN LIFE IS TO GET BOOTED OUT OF DISNEYLAND FOR HITTING MICKEY
|
| coneren NICE DUDE ARE YOU GONNA PLAY GUITAR AT THE WEDDING?
|
| coneren ARE YOU MOVING TO THE STATES THEN OR WHAT
|
| Sowing check out 'Organs' from the new OMAM. if you like anything from it, that'll be it
|
 | klap cool to hear you're going to be back on this side of the planet now. check out the new war on drugs methinks you'd dig it. gonna get me a copy of your release too
|
 | SadAndHolyGlow I'm probably too late to the game on this one, but I love your review for Owl City's "Ocean Eyes." Well played, my friend.
|
 | Mike08 Your attack attack- someday came suddenly review cracked me up. Thank You
|
| Mike08 Your attack attack- someday came suddenly review cracked me up. Thank You
|
 | toxin. you owe me an Orpheum cover! whenever you read this :)
|
 | Trebor. I haven't played mine in a couple years because it's missing a string
|
| Trebor. That's some beautiful shredding
|
 | heyadam I was just wondering if you still feel as strongly as you did in your Anullaby review about Shane Blay's musicianship or if you were just pissed off about how bad the EP sucked haha.
|
 | KILL snakes and arrows 4 clockwork 2.5 wow wtf man i am pissed
|
 | Aids i didn't know that you reviewed (and liked) Dan Mangan's latest. right on.
|
 | aok o caleb where art thou?
|
 | Mike225 I wish there was a way to follow people/bands and have a feed box on the homepage for things to show up in, I love your reviews! Keep it up.
|
 | Tyrael Aw poopie, well thanks anyway and sorry for spelling your name wrong :]
|
 | Irving MERRY CHRISTMAS CALEB WAIOR MCALPINE!!!
|
| Tyrael When will there be a new Waoir review? :D
|
 | Xenophanes http://www.facebook.com/groups/162548580510089/Here, this may work better, so no one is forcibly friended and whatnot.
|
 | KotoFtw Come check out my first review, mayne!
|
 | Masochist Well, I was going to ask you whether you'd listened to the new Mutemath, but I see your recently played, and it answered my question :-P. So now I get to ask--what do you think of it?
|
 | Blindsided I feel like you would be the person to ask on how to make a good cup of English tea, what with your most recent list and whatnot.
|
| Irving Waior my man, just checking, are you part of the Last.Fm Contributors group yet? If no, then: http://www.last.fm/group/Sputnikmusic.com Contributors
|
| Sowing dammit they should just make you staff too
|
| Sowing sorry for treading on your territory buddy, i know you love the decemberists. will you be posting a review too? i'd love to compare opinions
|
| aok you a couchsurfer?
|
 | vakuola 'twas me the one who posted the message below
|
 | Hey Caleb, did you ever listen to my band's songs? We're also on facebook in case you want to stream them. /joliettemx I'd like an honest opinion about them :)
|
 | maidenpmcc No I didn't mean directly from if u think it's badly written lol, the review in general got negative responses. If you could please read the review yourself and tell me your honest opinion on it. The pros and cons, stuff I should of did and not do etc. Cheers.
|
| maidenpmcc Hey man, your a contributor on this site, I made a few changes to my ABR review. Did you read it all? Tell me what's wrong with it and why it's badly written.
|
 | Sanders I'm currently about half an hour north of Manchester, but as of September I'll be back in the West Midlands! Are you still kicking around the country?
|
| klap hey asshole where are the rest of your dear hunter reviews
|
| Tyrael We need moar Waior reviews! :3
|
| vakuola Seriously? That's weird, try this one http://www.mediafire.com/?3j0nug9k1ox44x4
|
| Aids you have the Orange EP rated 4 I thought it was your favourite
|
 | Acre I appreciate the advertising for my reviews, lol
|
 | telex Show me a link of Acre's reviews.
|
 | wabbit actually england has something really cool called the "Youth Mobility Scheme" where I think I can avoid paying a lot of fees. And it is a two year visa
|
| wabbit So is travelling easy? I know you mainly do missionary work but to the best of your knowledge is it a lot of work/time for me to be able to get a student work visa in England? (I'm from the commonwealth too)
|
 | Ire bringing back the dog avatar
|
 | Curse. Caleb dont smoke it is bad for you
|
| vakuola Link is broken, sorry. http://bit.ly/gs2IPL there ya go
|
| vakuola Also, try listening with headphones
|
| vakuola Hey Caleb, here's my band first attempt http://www.mediafire.com/?lp9x417fxriqiat everything's written in spanish, let me know what you think :)
|
 | JWT155 You make more sense then any of those 13 year olds thinking religion is completely false.
|
 | Motiv3 what do you think of the new btbam so far mate?
|
 | Emim You sir have some funky bass lines. And that's not even a euphemism.
|
 | fr33convict How come your real name is McAlpin but you called your stuff McAlpine? O.o Also, did you ever get that drum simulator?
|
| vakuola Aproximadamente en 3 o 4 semanas, apenas se hará el mixing y mastering, te lo enviaré. Gracias!
|
| vakuola Siendo de las pocas personas en este sitio que habla español, te podría mandar el primer EP de mi banda en cuanto esté listo y lo escucharías?
|
 | Knott- Don't worry, I don't, lol. Maybe 5 years ago I would've, but there's a reason why people like Kimm drive me to fury and why I enjoy talking to people like you.
|
| Irving Where have you gone to Waior?
|
| KotoFtw Listening to your EP right now. Liking it so far.
|
| KotoFtw It's high time we get on tinychat and impersonate each other again.
|
 | PuddlesPuddles That makes me upset. Don't do what I do when I can't record and write down a bunch of favorable hooks/melodies/lyrics and then get sick of them to the point where you want to destroy it and it never sees the light of day.
|
| PuddlesPuddles Whens teh new McAcpline tentative release date? I assume Mr. Rubin is producing it
|
| fr33convict it's a plugin. create a drum track, go to edit (on the mid-right side of the screen not the top) and go to sound generator and look for EzDrummer.
|
| fr33convict http://www.mediafire.com/?y1evip6ncjppzm1, then google drumkit from hell or twisted kit. neither is actually very metal oriented so they should be fine for you.
|
| fr33convict i use a mac, i didn't get it with a torrent i got a rar. here's a sound preview while i try to find a link http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2utljuuk7lgkz0k
|
| fr33convict seriously you should download ezdrummer much better than the stock midi drums
|
 | kris. luv your avatar luv you
|
| Motiv3 haha i couldnt of put it any better, album rules so hard.
|
| Motiv3 I see you've rated the king is dead, whats your thoughts on it?
|
| fr33convict when i highlight the indie part of my pie chart is says caleb mcalpine and i can't remember who that mother****er even is.
|
| fr33convict When I googled it earlier it told me it was a typo and just now it showed up right O_o
|
| fr33convict Waior aren't you suppose to be good at spelling? It's analyze, not analyse bro.
|
 | Beauville88 Hypothetically, if I were to review your album and give it a "5", how much money would I have coming my way?
|
 | Winsomniac As one of the writers I stylistically respect, wanna gimme feedback on my Defeater review? I know I can write, I just need to write reviews better.
|
| klap yeah thoroughly enjoyed their set, just put verona up on my blog this morning
|
| fr33convict me and mordecai and you should form a band over the internet it would be badass.
|
| klap i'll try but thats my finals week
|
| klap just bought tickets to delta spirit, can't make passion pit
|
| fr33convict You gonna record anything or am I gonna have to kill you and steal your voice?
|
| Emim Just as your standing-in-front-of-a-wall-colored-like-baby-crap are also intimidating, but I shall timidly accept this request of friendship.
|
| Emim Ha ha, yeah. No qwe alt here. "Zach Cipperly" on FB if you're interested
|
| klap also passion pit 12/07 hollywood palladium
|
| klap do you like delta spirit?
|
| Beauville88 Thanks! It's nice to get at least one nice compliment in a slew of hate.
|
| fr33convict YOU LOST IT? And here:http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=317268
|
| fr33convict you gotta tell theacademy your favorite song evar so we can finish his damn list sooner. and...
|
| fr33convict hey have you made any progress on the song yet? :/
|
 | AliW1993 dunno if you saw, theres a new decemberists song up for free d/l
http://decemberists.com/
|
 | blabony just listened to your ep .... amazing work man ! keep it up ...
|
| blabony just listened to you're ep .... amazing work man ! keep it up ...
|
 | Baphomet I just needed to say it again: Your EP is truly fantastic, I hope you do even better stuff in the future and get signed so I can illegally download your albums. So.... do I get a discout if i hire you for mi gf's birthday?
|
| fr33convict Oops I meant to paste the link XDMy newest list.
|
| fr33convict Go here and ask for the Folk song so that way Lakes doesn't have to sing it.
|
| PuddlesPuddles it's comin' my man. If I can, I'll perhaps write it during work tomorrow
|
 | morrissey Hey about your artist profile, I keep getting multiple entries in the band approval queue, and I know you made one with a bio that didn't get through. If you post the bio to my shoutbox I'll make sure it gets edited in appropriately.
|
 | Nagrarok Nice lil' EP you've made there Caleb. I especially enjoyed I Was Wrong, We'll Alway Have Today
|
 | ANewTypeOfPunk you wrote an excellent review for the alexisonfire, Watch Out! album. it truly is a masterpiece. for sure in my top 10 all time favourite albums.
|
| Masochist Re-submitted, man. I'm curious to know what YOUR favorite songs/moments from the album are ;-)
|
| klap saw miike snow last night where the **** were you
|
| Masochist Glad you got to read it! I've already made an appeal about it on the forums. My question is, how the hell can you still read it and comment on it if it got taken down!?
|
 | sspedding don't take it personally, i will raise your average when the time is right.
|
| Masochist Did you get to read it before it gotd?
|
| Masochist Okay, lied I guess. It's not as long as I thought it would be.
|
| Masochist 50 plays in a week. I hate you. Am writing the review now; will be up one day. It's going to be the longest damn review anyone's ever seen for seven songs.
|
| Emim Sweet, will do for sure.
|
| Emim I've heard bits and pieces of them, but I really need to get on a whole album.
|
| Emim He really has a beautiful voice. His version of Hallelujah is my favorite ever, even more than Jeff Buckley's. The emotion is unparalleled imo.
|
| Emim Yay Phil Wickham! Have you heard his Hallelujah cover?
|
 | PinkBlackberry By the way man. you know how we were talking about how you feel heavy music is going to be on your horizon soon? I've been recently digging the hell out of these guys, and I figure what the hell you may as well see for sure if it's really as close as you thought it was, or it was a terrible foreboding, like seeing your own death in your head or something crazy like that.
|
| PuddlesPuddles I see you only have Why?'s "Eskimo Snow" rated. I highly recommend, my Mexican mate, that you take a listen to "Elephant Eyelash" when you're feeling a bit mellow and open-minded. Youtube the song "Rubber Traits" at least!
|
| Motiv3 what does it waior?! what does it WAIOR??!!
|
| coneren just stay hre, i dont mind!!!I'm gonna add you on last.fm after i piss, ok?
|
| coneren FOABP is the best....fuuck I remember when we talked in that a while ago, why did you leave???
|
| coneren HOLY SHIIT YOU ARE STILL HERE???
|
 | Deathcar "and then I just chundered, everywah!"
|
 | Kiran love the gap yahhh avatar
|
 | Deviant. Well for electronic have a look through here: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=426967
|
 | bloc Really man? What are they? I had no idea.
|
| bloc You're asking the wrong guy! Ask Deviant. I can suggest The Presets, although electronica is a broad word.
|
 | fromtheinside are you ever on? no. should you listen to the felix culpa - sever your roots? maybe. am i adding a third question to complete this cliche'd progressional? yes.
|
 | IndieOut hey man. care to take a look at my never shout never review? i'd actually really appreciate some feedback on it.
|
 | VheissuCrisis Just wondering dude, my 'favourite bands' seem to have disappeared and I can't edit it? Any ideas or will I have to continue my ardous search for a Mod?
|
 | Nikkolae es tarde y estoy aburrido, que tal? (:
|
 | Gyromania Hey Caleb, I was wondering if you could help me out with something. I was looking at your review of the Hazards of Love and I noticed the lyrics you opened and closed the review with are centered. How did you do that? Also, how do you upload images in the comment section?
|
 | Si1v3RfaNg I feel like you should listen to old school metalcore. now. go.
|
| Nagrarok I would have liked OK Computer to have been released in the 00's too. Too bad it came out in '99, eh?
|
| Ire caleb mcnuggets
|
| Ire i realized that three of my avatars were inspired by you in some way or another. do something funny and i'll turn it into an avatar
|
 | ShadowRemains k,will do, thanks for the complements, you should probably spread the love to tinkrbel as well, if you haven't already
|
 | qwe3 haha, what makes you say that
|
| DaveyBoy Yeah I think so. I may have had something for like a few days before the TSaTWitness cover, but if I did I cannot recall what it was. Fair to say I have a crush.
|
 | Bitchfork Oh and since you like The Decemberists, did you check out Black Prairie's newest album? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
|
| Bitchfork You remember who I am, right? For if my prolixity is not remembered, then I shall be very saddened, as you once held me in high regard (even if it was under false pretenses).
|
| Bitchfork I added the hawthorne heights album. WHAT NOW!!!! You would have had to do what I did to do what you did so do what I want you to do and thank me.
|
 | Fugue You've always been one to appreciate a fine beard haven't you Caleb? To my knowledge it's Efrim Menuck, of GY!BE fame.
|
 | impoppy OMG WAIOR NEEDZ TO GO DIE FOR DISSING SHANE BLAY, OUR GOD. haha. gotta love trolls.
|
 | Shadow17 And dude, I read your favs and thanks! Anberlin's Cities is very awesome. Looked up the songs on 'tube. Definitely awesome stuff.
|
| Shadow17 Dude, you should know ;)! But okay, let me introduce myself. Sander's the name. A bit of an audiophile.. I like and love all kinds of stuff. (I rate too easy, I know, haha.). Pleased to meet you. I like your music taste and from what I read, I liked your reviews a lot. Kudos for that. Anyways, have a good one! Talk to you sometime, who knows?
