i remember it used to seem such a power move when some huge platinum act would do that, but yeah now it's just something any old chump can get away with

agreed, it's kinda cliche in its own way and doesn't really have much impact anymore

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 20:01 (fourteen years ago)

yeah, as much as people itt bitch about typographical woes, it's usually better than the alternative

Just sought out that Ilaiyaraaja/Tamil synth-funk thing - it's pretty nuts in a fun way.

I like that alchemist one. What is the music like?

Moodles, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 15:36 (fourteen years ago)

Not out yet, but he's a New York based hip hop producer:

^ quite low-key but I quite like this, it's Doldrums - Egypt

You can do it Sun Myung Moon (NickB), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 16:31 (fourteen years ago)

Like, the VHF Doldrums?

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

doldrums one is great

♆ (gr8080), Tuesday, 5 June 2012 16:53 (fourteen years ago)

No, it's not the VHF one, it's some guy from Canada doing weird lo-fi psychedelic dance music.

Sounds like a cross between Ariel Pink and Caribou

sisilafami, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 19:30 (fourteen years ago)

That looks like the "Before" of the first Masters of Reality cover.

No, it's not the VHF one

Do people not Google their band name ideas or is it just cool to not care now? Cool album cover though and I even kind of like the song, except the vocals.

strictly shitty piano rock underground (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 05:58 (fourteen years ago)

Do people not Google their band name ideas

Short answer? No.
Long answer? I think we're about out of suitable names if the hundreds of horribly named bands I come across at work every day are any indication. I'd rather have two artists named Doldrums than even one named Stony Danza or Forever The Sickest Kids.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:31 (fourteen years ago)

i'll take unique over suitable any time. i'd rather someone call themselves shitfuck mcgillicuddy than be the 53rd band to call themselves spindrift

lawrence and the machine (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:40 (fourteen years ago)

I'd say the first band to call themselves Spindrift fucked up.

The Reverend, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:45 (fourteen years ago)

probably

lawrence and the machine (electricsound), Wednesday, 6 June 2012 06:50 (fourteen years ago)

Doldrums in this case is prolly an Ariel Pink ref no? but yeah it is bone idle and it's not like you even came up with a killer name or anything come on man

I mean, just look at that fucking glass horse

mizzell, Friday, 8 June 2012 20:52 (fourteen years ago)

what's so notable about that waka album cover?

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 21:41 (fourteen years ago)

Notably crap obviously.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:06 (fourteen years ago)

yeah but it's so generic either way i don't feel strongly about it

wack nerd zinging in the dead of night (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Friday, 8 June 2012 22:11 (fourteen years ago)

True.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Friday, 8 June 2012 22:12 (fourteen years ago)

though i guess just the basic work is pretty bad looking, looks kinda 90s and regional though, which is weird now cuz everyone seems to be a lot slicker at very least
