"redo question 4b while you're at it," I should've written. what are you waiting for?

sorry, about the mistake, I didn't look closely enough at the previous successful posts as a guideline.

8.) The songs you described can not be described as releases because they were not independently released but were rather released as parts of albums. For example, Everything flows by Teenage Fanclub would classify as a release because it was released as a single track in 1990 and pressings were made of the track as a single. It would have been much more correct and apt to list albums as opposed to individual songs especially because the artists intended for these songs to be experienced collectively. I believe that in our electronic era, people often pick and choose individual tracks out of works to listen to but they do not consider the artists work as a whole. The artists intend to portray a particular message by grouping these tracks together and focus a lot of attention on the order that they put the music together, individual tracks on an album then are not releases.

8a.)
1. In a Priest Driven Ambulance - Flaming Lips
2. Bossanova - Pixies
3. Twin Infinitives - Royal Trux
4. Fakebook - Yo La Tengo
5. Nowhere - Ride

8b.)
1. Merriweather Post Pavilion - Animal Collective
2. Veckatamist - Grizzly Bear
3. Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
4. A Kid Named Cudi - Kid Cudi - If you haven't heard this mixtape before, don't judge it on the single "Day 'N Nite" I think that song is way too overrated and other tracks on the album are much better. The album has a great narrative and my favorite track is "The Prayer." Hopefully Kanye doesn't destroy this artist..
5.Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend

Sorry it took so long to reply, i didnt see the responses until now. Hopefully my answers are alright now, if I didnt answer what you were looking for... let me know...

damn "Day 'N Nite" was a total highlight for me... having said that tho, tell me why all my homies are telling me "Merriweather.." owns Fleet Foxes s/t?

WAFFLES irony/life admin (wilter), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 12:02 (fifteen years ago) link

There's no doubt that merriweather is leaps and bounds above fleet foxes s/t. Fleet foxes has managed to put a wonderful spin on traditional folk-type music and has created music that is always engaging. Pecknold's vocals are prefectly complemented by the instrumentation in the album. For example, in the track, "Your Protecter" the usage of a flute in the background only serves to add greater weight to the album. My favorite tracks on this album would have to be "Your Protecter" and "White Winter Hymnal." I have just found that although I love the album, the originality of Animal Collective's album totally blows Fleet Foxes out of the water. Animal Collective on Merrweather, has managed to create a perfect balance between their electrosynth background sounds and the poppy lyrics that Panda belts out. Animal Collective just has a completely unique sound that can not be. Although Animal Collective has mastered their unique sound in this album, i believe the relationship created between tare and panda is amazing as Panda's straightforward melodies are perefectly complemented by Tare's bridges and choruses. I also dont really miss Tare's blurting vocalizations, although it was used as a sort of punctuation, I always thought they were sort of jarring.

You also can't beat the album name. I live quite close to Merriweather Post Pavilion and I have very clear memories of going there when I was younger and I can imagine myself having quite a few similar memories to the band members.

i was the user banned above, i'm just curious as to why I was banned. If it was because for the last question, i did read a pitchfork review for reference and focused on the points that caught me when i listened to the music but I answered every single question I was asked truthfully. Honestly, the only reason that I looked at another review was because I couldn't explain why I liked Merriweather Pavilion more than i liked fleet foxes s/t, i just do. I think plain and simple that the music just sounds better and that it flows a lot better... I cant say that one album has intrinsic merits over the other one, i'm not a professional reviewer and I was just trying to join a valuable sharing community, I would definitely say that my bittorrent and seeding experience as well as my ripping experience would make me a valuable member.

Waffles Admin (unregistered), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 21:38 (fifteen years ago) link

wow thanks, i really appreciate it. I haven't received the message and I tried sending a webmail to my account just to make sure that the issue wasn't with ilxor. would you mind sending it to the email associated with ichow222. the email just for reference is ianchow2✧✧✧@✧.northwest✧✧✧.e✧✧.

I think the reason its not working is because of this:
I heard from someone that waffle invites do not work when sent to hotmail, is this true?

Yes, that it true. You have to use Gmail to receive waffles invites or else a private mail service.

1) Arthur Russell - First Thought Best Thought
Arthur Russell - Another Thought
In Sync - Storm/Warm
Marcin Czubala - Mezcalinna
Soul Capsule - Waiting 4 A Way
(All at Torrentech)

2a) In the BitTorrent world, ratio refers to the amount of data uploaded (or seeded) over the amount of data downloaded. A ratio of 2.0 means that you've seeded twice as much as you've downloaded. A ratio of 0.2 means you've downloaded five times as much as you've seeded. Seeding is what keeps BitTorrent afloat, so maintaining a good ratio is essential.
2b) I was not a member of OiNK. My ratio at Torrentech is 1.72.

3) It is almost impossible to think of a popular musical genre where African American culture has not played a central role. Although it's pretty much accepted nowadays that the early blues music laid down by figures like Mamie Smith and Blind Lemon Jefferson eventually (via Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry et al) became the foundation for later pop/rock musicians like the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan, it's still easy to take for granted how thoroughly African American culture is engrained in the popular musical imagination. Look beyond jazz, Motown and the very obvious modern hegemony of Hip Hop/R&B-derived sounds, and you can see its influence on everything from electronic dance music (techno, house and disco were all products of urban black culture) to country and bluegrass (they wouldn't exist without gospel spirituals and the banjo, both of which have Afro-American roots). Call-and-response, the pentatonic scale, and polyrhythm (to name but a few motifs of African American-inspired/derived music) have been and remain key elements of all aspects of popular music.

4a) DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues (mule musiq cd 9)
Kassem Mosse - Workshop 08 (WORKSHOP 08)
Mount Kimbie - Maybes EP (HF 021)
Joker/2000F & J Kamata - Digidesign/You Don't Know What Love Is (HDB018)
Omar Souleyman - Dabke 2020 (SF049CD)

4b) Whitehouse - Dedicated To Peter Kürten (WDC 881010)
Alvin Lucier - I Am Sitting In A Room (VR 1013)
Can - Delay 1968 (SPOON 012)
Scientist - Scientist Rids The World Of The Evil Curse Of The Vampires (GREL 25)
ESG - You're No Good (FAC 34)

5) Occasionally I read at the Philip Sherburne and Martin Clark columns on Pitchfork (glad they returned), but I don't read the reviews. In fact, since using a numerical system for judging music (down to the decimal point) is nonsensical at best, I'd say all of them are equally unjust.

6) If I picked Morrissey or Momus, I might actually be tempted to sit and listen to their music rather than devoting all of my energies and efforts to building a giant mirror made out of CDs to signal for help. Moby's not-insignificant cassette tape discography would also allow me to construct a raft with which to drift slowly back to civilization and my lovely music collection.
