Music - What have your ears been tasting recently?

[Samus Aran]

also the replacements are The Minnesota Band imo

i guess that's true yeah. as far as punk goes, the replacements are the most well-known minnesota band, then husker du after them largely for zen arcade

[C.Mongler]

i have a lot of replacements shit already duh  and i've loved husker du and mission of burma as a wee lad, got into them the same time i started listening to THE FUGAZI HITS but i've been getting deeper into the discography lately which i probably need to do for the former mentioned bands

and i've listened to nation of ulysses b4, but i need to get some of their shit ON WAX. ian svenonius is actually still really active in the dc scene and he's around a lot; i actually was going ham in the pit with him at a priests show a while back even lol. though he is still pretty fuckin' radical and kinda weird, but ya know, SO AM I

but yeah i need to get in on a bunch of old shit too, there's so many fuckin' bands that came out in that period it's hard 2 keep up with it and still listen to contemporary shit 

also i have a first press of gorilla biscuit's start today 

[C.Mongler]

ALSO ALSO i got my bootleg of MBV's Loveless yesterday and of course it sounds like ass 

i mean it'll do since official presses ARE SO DAMN EXPENSIVE but yeah clearly a press of like a CD rip, very hollow sounding and lacks the warmth and crispness of most vinyl masters. probably would sound better to plug my phone in but whatever THIS IS A NOVELTY HOBBY

[squirrelfriend]

that sounds like an assault to my ears. a vinyl rip of a digital lo-fi recording smdh

[C.Mongler]

i mean i didn't buy it to listen to it i bought it for the novelty lol

if you want to donate to my patreon so i can get a $200 OG UK pressing i'll gladly do so 

[squirrelfriend]

should have gone to one of their shows when i had the chance in high school
i live in flyover country

[Samus Aran]

why has there still been no legitimate repress of loveless? it'd sell like hotcakes c'mon guys

[C.Mongler]

why has there still been no legitimate repress of loveless? it'd sell like hotcakes c'mon guys

no fucking idea; in fact there was a CD-only remaster released in like, 2012, i think? but yeah it's one of the most sought after records by indie/punk/gazin' record collectors, it would easily sell out with a run of even just like 5,000; FREE MONEY

[C.Mongler]

okay on second listen its okay. i fucked with my eq a little bit, it's louder this time (in fact i'm surprised i haven't heard from the neighbors telling me to shutup), and i'm not like trying to think of shit i need to do before i leave the house also. still, a lot of surface noise that's much more noticeable when it's loud as sin, but maybe my copy has just seen some shit i dunno

B-ish, it's the white japanese pressing u can find it out there lol it's like 30-40 bucks

[silvertone]

currently listening to the beatles " get back" song. a real good one

CBS killed off a lot of the functionality and community of last.fm

really like what? all I ever do is scrobble my stuff, check my charts, and sometimes look at my friends' profiles

i hate how the recommendations suck now

they've always sucked

that's because you listen to sh1t music. they use to have 1000s of pages of recommends and there was always some cool band in that list that i never heard of before.

now it's literally "another album by the band you Listen to a lot."
or
"song you listen to...once."

[squirrelfriend]

yeah i rather trust spotify's recs and they were in last place

[C.Mongler]

i stopped scrobbling when the last.fm app decided it would crash every 20 minutes or so for no reason. happened my old pc across two reformats and my new pc so i dont know what it is

also i only listen to my records these days, so i'd need to use one of those vinyl scrobbling platforms which is too much work anyay
