The mediafire discussion thread!

<< < (8/12) > >>

pulpfiction21:
my comment was sarcasm, as i do recognize that this is a discussion forum. That should have been obvious, why would i be involved in a discussion if i didnt want to discuss something?

Anyways, all im saying is that i like the mediaf!re thread the way it is. 

Just an opinion guys, no need to start an argument about it.

If a person finds the need to discuss a band, they can sure as hell start a thread for it. there is no stopping them. but obviously not a whole lot of people wanna do that. So let that be.

Joseph:
Here is a really awesome thread that Darryl started about a band he thought people should hear.  Look at all that information he wrote about the band, without taking big long quotes!  Look at the articles that were linked to!  Weren't they nice and informative?  I listened to the band because through Darryl's posts and his involvement in the QC community, I've felt that I've gotten to know him somewhat, and as such respect him and his taste.  I thought that if he put that much effort into telling a forum consisting mostly of strangers about a band, he probably felt pretty strongly about them.  And the band turned out to be pretty good!

The topic soon drifted towards other things, but it continued to be filled with opinion and discussion.  I only came upon this thread recently, since I wasn't posting a whole ton around the time the thread was created, so I missed it initially.  Maybe I'll try to revive it later.

That was a pretty cool thread.

Sure would suck if there were other similar ones.

pwhodges:
I aim in my uploads to the mediaf!re thread to present stuff which most people here wouldn't go looking for, or even pick out if it was in a separate thread; I aim to say enough to catch people's interest, but without invoking a tl;dr reflex.  Because these offerings are mixed up with the others, people happen on them, and continue to do so as their slowly increasing count of downloads indicates.  The occasional messages I get about them confirm that this works to some extent, and I'm sure that a different structure would not work better, or even as well from my point of view.

In the rare event that a real discussion of an upload gets under way, there is an argument for having it separate, though (i.e. typically in this thread).

the_pied_piper:
This thread was not designed for general discussion but discussion of albums posted to the mediafire thread. Hence, the mediafire discussion thread. You want to make a thread about a band go ahead, whatever you want to do but people were complaining there was no discussion of mediafire items posted so i started this thread.

It was supposed to be for people to say well, i liked this album better than this one or something of the like but people didn't seem to get that part of it. However, now you know so hopefully people will start discussing the albums posted rather than the thread itself which had a referendum not long ago and was deigned to be as is [it was cleaned up however as almost all dead links from the earlier albums should be gone].

There is also the search function if you think something should be there and you can't be bothered searching.

Scandanavian War Machine:
so, the thread, what have you guys been hyped on lately?

me? well, on a whim, i downloaded that Pet Genius album on the current page yesterday and i haven't stopped listening to it since! i haven't listened to much rock music lately because usually it bores me unless they do something unique and sweet, and Pet Genius are definitely unique and sweet. it's like garage rock with a twinge of psychedelia and even some heavy, semi-sludgy stoner-rockish guitar parts that are super sick (without ever being slow or boring). i can't enough of it.

personally, my favorite tracks are "The Visiting Dynamiter," "Float My Boat," and "Man Of The Mountain."

i recommend that everyone at least check it out (espescially the songs i mentioned above) because, hey, what have you got to lose? also, i recommend it extra hard to anyone who likes Vampire Hands (another fucking sweet band i discovered through the MF thread).
