Tiga's Sexor.

I think I've only been unable to find, like, limited-run vinyl releases by acts from my college town. It may take years of unyielding tenacity, but I believe I've eventually been able to track down everything else I've sought out. It's a little spooky, tbh.

The Wish List search has saved me on several occasions - often months (and sometimes years) after adding the search term.
― groovypanda, Friday, 24 May 2019 06:58 (four years ago) link
yeah wish list is key
one weird thing I've noticed - sometimes it'll take months for something to pop up from my list but then suddenly other people sharing it will, and not always the same rip as you'd expect.

sic fwiw when I ripped my copy of Sexor I split the tracks with interludes/hidden tracks myself, I can put that up on slsk if you want
― Colonel Poo, Friday, 24 May 2019 13:34 (four years ago) link
that's very kind of you, thanks!

does your ILX email work? not sure if I should post my username here? it's up anyway so searching might find it, it's in flac which might narrow it down

I believe I am getting it from you now! and I have installed a flac converter

yeah looks like it. that was the first time I've updated my shared files in years I think

i am trying to change my upload speed throttle in slskqt 2017.2.20 and i can't for the life of me figure out how i set it in the first place. i only mention it because somebody sent out a mass message saying they were going to start banning people who had throttle set to under 150 k/sec - i could complain but honestly, you know, fair enough. i just can't figure out how to do it!
― Flood-Resistant Mirror-Drilling Machine (rushomancy), Saturday, 25 May 2019 23:33 (four years ago) link
literally the second after i posted that! it's on the "uploads" tab and not the "options" tab for some reason
― Flood-Resistant Mirror-Drilling Machine (rushomancy), Saturday, 25 May 2019 23:34 (four years ago) link
Eh let them ban you who gives a shit. If you haven't set it before it'll be whatever your connection allows anyway iirc
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 25 May 2019 23:38 (four years ago) link
soulseek still absolutely amazing. pretty hard to stump it!

It overwhelmed my router and assassinated my internet connection

long may it continue. well, let's fucking hope so.
― What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Saturday, 28 September 2019 21:56 (four years ago) link
well, not that bit. xp
i still don't use, or even know how to use, any of the functions besides searching and downloading. i've set my share folder and occasionally people will get something from it. that's it.
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Saturday, 28 September 2019 21:58 (four years ago) link
streaming kinda eclipsed soulseek for me :(
― flopson, Saturday, 28 September 2019 22:22 (four years ago) link
not me, still use it constantly
― Simon H., Saturday, 28 September 2019 22:25 (four years ago) link
I was on it recently, and couldn't resist the urge to check if my own music was on it. It was, which proves that they have pretty much everything on there, as I am extremely obscure (the struggle-to-sell-50-records level).
Incidentally, I wasn't offended, I have downloaded loads of stuff off there myself so can't really complain, just karma I guess.

I will never log off (from soulseek)

I browsed rushomancy's files today iirc
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 22:48 (four years ago) link
that wasn't a humblebrag.
but now v interested in who mirostones is!

It kind of was but a completely acceptable one imo (and ditto tbh)

curious (since i feel i have a decent grip of what music you listen to from ILM) what you find on there that’s not on streaming?
for me house/techno are the main barrier from streaming . but artists have been getting better at putting stuff up, and ive adjusted by listening to more mixes
punk/underground rock is pretty much fully covered by streaming + Bandcamp
― flopson, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link
There's still tons of stuff that isn't on there though, my wishlist is a mile long.
I ripped a tape by a somewhat obscure punk band a while ago (I have posted about this band on ilx before and they do have some fans on here) and I was perhaps absurdly happy to see someone I have probably downloaded hundreds of obscure punk records over the years had downloaded it off me yesterday. I don't usually look at the uploads tab I must've been especially bored earlier
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:07 (four years ago) link
I often do my checking out new bands listening on the train so I'd rather download it off slsk than stream band camp tbh
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:09 (four years ago) link
If B camp enabled d/ls that would be huge
― calstars, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:11 (four years ago) link
don't know why it didn't occur to me until this year that soulseek would be a vastly quicker and easier way to get stuff than it was in 2005
― ciderpress, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:12 (four years ago) link
Somebody go do that and make some bill
― calstars, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:12 (four years ago) link
I downloaded my wife from soulseek so I'm probably more attached to it than most people
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:16 (four years ago) link
enh there are still weird occasional gaps and not even that-underground stuff, see the Juno record I nommed in the 00-09 poll for example
― Simon H., Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:17 (four years ago) link
also b-sides, outtakes etc are often not on streaming
There's loads of 80s/90s punk that isn't on it. Ok mostly tapes at this point
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:18 (four years ago) link
really? did you meet your wife on it?!
― What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:23 (four years ago) link
Yep! There's chat rooms on it, they're completely dead nowadays but in 2002 it was happening
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:25 (four years ago) link
amazing!
― What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:26 (four years ago) link
It was timing really. both of us were unemployed and had a lot of time on our hands to message weirdos halfway across the world who liked Slumberland records
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:30 (four years ago) link
:DDDD
― What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:32 (four years ago) link
that's amazing and also I now feel like a dummy for having shunned that aspect of the app for almost two decades lol
― Simon H., Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:33 (four years ago) link
Tbh the chat side of it died about 15 years ago. Facebook probably

"If B camp enabled d/ls that would be huge" I think you can? well if you buy something you certainly can.

Sorry the organization is a complete fucking mess
I find I can stump slsk pretty easily myself - there's a lot of stuff that's not on there but is on bandcamp or youtube, not to mention Spotify, which at this point I refuse to use mostly out of sheer cussedness as opposed to any actual principle. Honestly I'd love to get away from using Youtube altogether as well as I consider that site to be very bad. I just have this learned distrust of the "streaming" ecosystem (I don't use either Bandcamp or Youtube primarily as "streaming" sites).
A lot of music these days, I suspect, doesn't have multiple discrete extant copies of it. Which makes it easier for all extant copies of those recordings to be lost. I'm less bothered about this than I used to be, as eventually everything we know will be lost. Humanity will somehow survive despite not being able to hear Crazy Fucking Landlady's Son for themselves. Downloading random shit from the Internet does not make a professional archivist.
I have a fairly long soulseek wishlist myself. Most of it is stuff I probably could or should just buy copies of. It's probably not moral or ethical for me to do this stuff, which is why I tend not to talk about it much.

Ilxor group share !
― calstars, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:40 (four years ago) link
Yeah there is an ethical consideration especially with stuff you can stream.
I guess I don't like streaming sites because those songs might disappear at any moment and the aforementioned train/no data connection problems
But I have spent and continue to spend a lot of money on music so fuck it imo
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:41 (four years ago) link
records i was recently annoyed weren’t on streaming
jordan fields - moments in dubdefault genders - main pop girl*
i have the mp3s on my phone but it’s still annoying i can’t put stuff in playlists etc
*as i understand this is intentional by the artist for political(?) reasons
― flopson, Saturday, 28 September 2019 23:42 (four years ago) link
I'm past the point where I feel like there's any moral or ethical justification for piracy. I should probably stop, particularly with a username with which I can be uniquely identified being mentioned on a public forum (is this thread at least search-deindexed? If not, can it be?)
