Rules:

No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.

Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.

Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to mediaf!re.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know mediaf!re is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.

Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.

ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST ALBUMS. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.

Lights - The Listening

I feel awful that I like this.

[JD]

You can pretend to like it ironically.

Edit: Wait this is kinda bad

[scarred]

"Saviour" is awful, but I like "River." Or maybe just the instrumentation. I only have room for a couple overtly auto-tuned singers, guiz! Discovery and Owl City claimed me first!

edit: oh god the lyric "changing but never changedddd" is in there. FFFFFFFUUUUUUU why do I still like it

[pulpfiction21]

Lights performed at a concert I was at once last year. I knew I shouldn't like what I was hearing but she is just so god damn cute that I enjoyed her entire set immensely.

[valley_parade]

I have been enjoying the piss out of this album, and have decided to share it with you. It's a kinda breezy indie pop record from a band from LA.

Imagine them as Vampire Weekend, if they weren't blatantly ripping off African pop music, and weren't as annoying.

This Providence - Who are you now?

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?jjzcbmzdxme

Emo pop/rock act This Providence came together in the summer of 2003 in Seattle, WA, recording and self-releasing their first EP soon after their formation. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist Dan Young, guitarist Gavin Phillips, bassist/vocalist Phil Cobrea, and drummer Ryan Tapert, the group began gathering a decent local following while still in high school, playing in the same regional scene that spawned peers Gatsbys American Dream and Forgive Durden. The guys concurrently hooked up with Seattle-based Rocketstar Recordings, and following graduation, their full-length debut, Our Worlds Divorce, was released in late 2004. They toured around the country in support of the album with acts like Daphne Loves Derby, Sherwood, and Jenoah before eventually signing with Fueled by Ramen in early 2006. Teaming up again with producer Casey Bates (who'd also worked on their first album), This Providence's self-titled FBR debut appeared in September, as the band carried on with gigs opening for labelmates Paramore. Cobrea announced his resignation from the band that November, and he was soon replaced by Phoenix native David Blaise.

Excerpt from Pitchfork's review:
         

[...]What makes Losing Feeling so solid is how it begins and ends. The opening title track simultaneously floats in place and hurtles forward, recalling the pulsing drift of Nouns' "Sleeper Hold". But now the band stretches a bit more, injecting the breaks with a little more tension, a little more bite. And a final rave-up shifts into high gear, turning a nice crescendo into a tidal wave. That infectious wash is matched on the opposite end of the EP by "You're a Target". Here the hectic rush of the opener gets drenched in a layer of shimmering guitar tones-- imagine Nouns' "Brain Burner" covered by the Pains of Being Pure at Heart.

Gustavo Dudamel
Shostakovich's 5th Symphony (behind the scenes)
SBYOV Shostakovich Symphony 10 II. Allegro

Gustavo Dudamel is one of those extremely rare conductors to draw international attention while still in his twenties. For a musician who only began studying conducting in 1995 and made his professional debut in 2005, he has ascended the steep ladder to podium renown in almost unprecedented fashion.

He was born on January 26, 1981, in Barquisimeto, Venezuela. His father was a trombone player who performed in local bands. Gustavo began lessons on the violin at 10, having previously studied in a government-sponsored music program in grade school. Later on at the Jacinto Lara Conservatory, he studied violin with José Luis Jiménez and at the Latin American Violin Academy with José Francisco del Castillo. In 1995 he began conducting studies with Rodolfo Saglimbeni, but the most important teaching influence was conductor José Antonio Abreu, who served as young Gustavo's mentor. Dudamel's 1999 appointment as music director of the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar allowed him to conduct regular concerts and make concert tours abroad.

Dudamel has arguably been the most sought-after conductor under the age of 30 and is the first in a long time to be appointed music director of a major orchestra -- in this case, the Los Angeles Philharmonic beginning in 2009-2010. And Dudamel will not step onto that podium as anything approaching a novice, since he already began duties as principal conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra in 2007. Moreover, since 1999 he has served as music director of the Venezuelan national youth orchestra (known as the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar). Along with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, he has led the Chicago Symphony, New York Philharmonic, Philharmonia, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, City of Birmingham Symphony, Israel Philharmonic, and Dresden State Orchestra. Dudamel signed a recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon in 2005.

Dudamel has won a number of conducting competitions, the most important of which was the 2004 Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition held in Bamberg, Germany. Following that triumph, Dudamel began receiving a flood of invitations to conduct the world's major orchestras. Dudamel's first recording with Deutsche Grammophon was the 2006 CD of the Beethoven Symphonies No. 5 and No. 7, with the Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar. In April 2007, Dudamel led the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert given at the Vatican before Pope Benedict XVI on the occasion of his 80th birthday. This concert was taped by DG and subsequently issued on a DVD in August 2007.

Sarah Shannon's voice is a gem. One should never try to hide it. But wash it with mud, Velocity Girl did. At least, with their first LP. Copacetic is defined by massive guitars, obviously aspiring for a shoegaze sound. It results in teenage noise pop. It's beautiful and sweet. The melodies are so bubbly, one has to get a nervous breakdown to erase them. (blair23, RYM)

Really regret never seeing these dudes live cause this band will always put a smile on my face. The Turbonegro of stoner rock, if you will. Out of all the other acts in their genre these guys wrote some bad muthafuckin riffage to shout lyrics like "More! Of! Those! Pills!" or "MUTHAFUCKA EX-PLOD-ED!" along to. I'm so distracted head banging I even ignore the singer's monster truck really announcer voice. Good times.

Their relentlessly screaming guitar tones and crashing drums make me wonder how my speakers aren't totally nuked 3 tracks in (just listen to the outro on "Ate My Teeth"). I think parts of the song "Street Sweeper" would make even Thurston Moore wince.

So if you like Seattle in the 90's, Drive Like Jehu, noisier side of the Pixies, Murder City Devils, The Dirtbombs, The Icarus Line's older stuff and the first 2 Stooges albums click then win. This is rumored to be their final release.

These two bands opened for Starfucker on Friday, and they were both excellent. If you're a fan of Starfucker, or if you like good music, you should dig both these artists.


Phantogram - Eyelid Movies [2009]

It would be lazy to dub New York state pair Sarah Barthel and Josh Carter 2009’s Chairlift, but the similarities are there for all to hear. Both groups have a neat line in minimal beats, occasionally psychedelic electro-indie art strangeness, lush beds of synthesizer and enticing female vocals.

But Phantogram’s greater willingness to embrace the experimental and a few different influences mark the newer band out as being an odder but equally exciting proposition. Keyboardist Carter has said Serge Gainsbourg and hip hop inspire the duo’s sound and these can both be heard on this potent debut.

Single "Running from the Cops" trips along like Portishead and DJ Shadow sparring over dark static and Carter’s bizarre, mistreated mumble, and "Let Me Go" is a wanton blend of ardour and machinery which sounds like drunken robots walking arm in arm down the Champs-Élysées.

Eyelid Movies’ finest moments are when Barthel is allowed to fully utilise her voice. "As Far As I Can See," the album’s standout track, is an incredible electro-soul slacker anthem which expertly blends cut-up brassy samples, thudding loops and exquisite, honeyed singing. Final track 10,000 Claps is as good, if completely different, and brilliantly incongruous – maudlin piano and a timbre more at home on a Sparklehorse record combine effectively with Barthel now affecting an alt-folk lilt.

I try and try to come up with words to describe this band, but each and every time I fail. There's a strong visual element at their live shows (a la projector) that makes it 10 times more rad, but the music is still fucking great too. If Starfucker weren't bloody fantastic, these guys would've stolen the show. And really, that's all you need to know.
