The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening

Tom:
That Telepathe record sounds like an antique of our generation and not in a good way. Also, announcement time.
E. Spaceman:
Consider the following an official addition to the current Rules:
--- Quote ---Before you post in this thread, take a minute and consider the following:
Think of this as the community chest. Everyone is free and encouraged to contribute to it, with that in mind:
* This thread is for you to share the music that you love for people who would normally not be able to access it. This is not an everything-goes-all-the-time mp3 blog.
* Think about what you are uploading. Is it easily available elsewhere and popular? If yes, is it really worth it to upload and post here?
* Have some self control. Is it really necessary to upload the entire discography of this band? Is it all really so excellent? If it is, don't worry. Whoever downloads this will surely realise this and look for more material on their own.
To return to the community chest, imagine you one day open the chest and everyone threw everything inside it. There's probably more things that you can use there now, but they are now buried in a mountain of debris and you'll likely miss the good stuff anyway! Imagine though, that you come to the chest one day and you find that everyone thought about what might best serve us all and the neatly placed it inside. This is what this thread should be.

Now the current rules stand as
--- Quote ---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.
Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

TL;DR version: don't do megaposts or post readily available stuff.

Joshua Radin - Simple Times

In my opinion it is better than this AllMusic review (located South) says. Hopefully this abides by the new rules, in that it's an album I'm currently enjoying, right this moment. If you need further reassurance, I do not upload things often and I'm sure there will be some people who enjoy this.
--- Quote ---2008 was a banner year for the Hotel Café, whose popularity soared as songwriters like Priscilla Ahn, Meiko, and Ingrid Michaelson -- three artists who routinely graced the Hollywood venue's stage -- all released fine albums. The Café's female alumni hit the road in late 2008 as part of the Hotel Café Tour, allowing Joshua Radin the chance to release his own record during the lull. Simple Times is the songwriter's second album, building on the hushed guitar 'n' vocals combo that helped push his debut effort, 2006's We Were Here, onto the soundtracks of several television shows. His craft has improved since then -- after all, We Were Here collected the singer's earliest material, appearing only two years after his decision to give songwriting a shot -- but Radin still struggles with the balance between mood and melody. Simple Times is a warm, easygoing album geared for Sunday afternoons and Monday mornings, and its most interesting moments only occur when Radin invites somebody else into the vocal booth. Meiko lends her voice to "Sky," which balances commonplace lyrics with a radio-bound pop melody, while the up-and-coming songbird Erin McCarley harmonizes throughout "They Bring Me to You." Radin could use the musical input of those two artists, yet he relegates their role to that of a background vocalist, forcing them to sing major thirds over melodies that, frankly, pale in comparison to the girls' own material. The presence of Patty Griffin during "You Got Growing Up to Do" shows that Radin's potential may be evident to more veteran songwriters, but it's nevertheless muddled on this record, which offers an entirely pleasant listen but fails to pack the melodic wallop of Radin's Hotel Café peers.

And so this is not all just nag and no content.
I posted this a long time ago but I think it is time to do it again.

Shit Robot is an artist on DFA Records. As it is to be expected from the previous sentence he performs a manner of dance music although not in the style of the traditional dance-punk that used to characterise DFA. Shit Robot mostly does long pieces that stick to a main theme but are always changing underneath. The instrumentation is often fairly minimal, based on old synths and drum machines with a steady but not monotonous beat. It can also be said like someone is just playing a ton of effects over a rhythm that is equal parts low-key disco and electro.
So far, he has released two singles and a couple of remixes. This is the first that he released. If people like it feel free to ask me for the other one using the PM function.
