anyways lets move on. I got some crunk ass shit (emo) for all of you.

Age Sixteen - Open Up Finders, Please

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?2bimzemmtmg
If you kids enjoyed the demo by Age Sixteen I posted a few weeks back, this is a must. It contains the three songs from the demo (mixed a bit differently, clearer but I think the vocals are a little too upfront) plus six more for a total of nine songs, which clocks in at just over twenty minutes. If you didn't get the demo, this is probably a great place to start if you have any interest in emo. It's got all the chaos of early 90's emo plus a whole bunch of modern flairs, like that good ol' high neck super fast clean strumming. The vocals are also most excellent, going from spoken word to full on screams like good emo vocals should. This all around is a pretty fucking good release and if you like it, you should totally buy it too. It's only seven bucks, including shipping (8 if you are not amurikan)! Also if they ever play in your town check out their show! It's crazy!

Suis La Lune - Heir

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?wkxhzm03gww
If you've been digging this Age Sixteen shit, Suis La Lune is fucking mandatory. They are quite similar bands! However by no stretch is Age Sixteen a Suis La Lune rip off. Unlike Age Sixteen's pretty fucking chaotic yet melodic take on emo, Suis La Lune take a step back, giving it a much more beautiful and almost peaceful feel (the jazzmasters don't hurt this). This doesn't mean Suis La Lune isn't capable of creating some chaotic moments, in fact quite the opposite is true. Really good stuff here. Also if you like it and live on the US east coast, I must apologize since they just finished a US east coast tour as of last monday (These guys are Sweedish). Fuck if they don't put on a good show.

Kidcrash/Arse Moreira - Misspelling Split 5"

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?zwtzm33kjny
Now this is something I have only really been spinning very recently. Recently I stumbled upon the existence if this split and decided to give it a try. The Arse Moreira side is nothing too impressive, its basically an ok version of an instrumental Louise Cyphre. It kind of loses something without the chaotic screams behind it. However, the Kidcrash side is like, the fucking cat's pajamas. Fuck that, its like the T-Rex's pajamas. Basically think more modern-esque emo/scremo with some American Football (or maybe algernon cadwallader would work better, since they are the right speed) thrown in with even a little Louise Cyphre (if you don't know these guys their split with La Quiete is somewhere in this thread. its a fucking great split too, pick it up). style chaos thrown in at the end. The kidcrash side is boooooooooooomb. It is very short though, since its just a 5"
edit: kidcrash = halfway between kinsella emo and scremo. i have decided this today. that is all.

Also yeah since these guys are small timey punk bands I cannot urge you more to pick up this stuff if you really do actually enjoy it. These guys can use the support!

[michaelicious]

Age Sixteen hits me in exactly the right spot lately. What a band. Anyway, here is some stuff I think you might like, Sean. They are both unofficial disographies of bands that are sadly broken up.

This one is a band from Philadelphia called Street Smart Cyclist. They were/are buds with Algernon. It is only 5 songs, and the artwork I stole from a 3 song 7" they released. I just tacked two unreleased songs on, one at the front and one at the end. It's a selected discography because they also released an acoustic tour CD which is pretty crappy. These are just the hits. Their singer has a really cool voice.

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?tetikgjzydl
This one is from a band who were a little more hard-hitting. They were called Van Johnson. They are pretty relentless for the most part, but they have some nice melodic moments once in a while. These guys were basically the shit, absolutely nuts live. I took their 7-song self-titled and added two songs from a tour EP onto the end.

Okay so there is ONE active link out there (which is at 128kbps). Wow, why don't people just either post the second disc or shut up. I mean really, does his re-up request really bother you that much?

...the bitrate matters? Why? This is for sampling music, not obtaining high quality versions of inexpensive commercially available records. I bought that anthology new for £8. I uploaded just the first half intentionally many months ago. You don't need the second half to convince you it's a record worth buying since all the best material is the first half, with almost 80 minutes of free music to convince you. You get your free meal and you want the dessert too? I can appreciate that, dessert is delicious, but you're not getting it if you're rude and an asshole.

Ladies, gents. Y'all know I'm anti-thisthread. But I think I'm right in saying that requesting commercially available music here, whether it has been previously uploaded or not, is in very poor taste. If it's out of print, by all means, go nuts. If I can wander to my local store and find it at discount prices, you're all just being greedy and lazy. My stance is that if you're not willing to pay for it, it's not that important to you. And if you do want to hear it that badly, you will find it on your own. That is why I only heard Bottomless Pit's Congress EP for the first time last week. What a record! It took me almost a year to find it online, but boy, it was worth it.

what I am basically saying is that if you heard the first half of the caP'n jazz anthology for nothing, don't be a bitch about it.

[pulpfiction21]

Nice spiel, but I already own the CD. I have the first disc still and so i uploaded it to my computer. I couldn't find my 2nd disc, i have no idea what the hell happened to it. I havent listened to the CD in over a year so it could be anywhere since I've moved twice since then.

So yes the bitrate matters, cuz i already own the music and my first disc is better then 128 so i wanted my second disc to be better as well.

And dude, not everyone lives in a city where they can go to a local store and find Cap'n Jazz at the record store.

I agree with people not needing to ask for a re-up of Hazards of Love or something similar, but everyone here is making it seem like Cap'n Jazz is a huge commercial band, that can be purchased at the corner store. THEY AREN'T and THEY CAN'T.


Also, I don't understand why someone who is anti this thread, is looking at the thread then?


And last of all, there is no rule set that states that people can not ask for re-ups of commercially available music. So until someone of importance (not you) creates that rule, you should not give little rants.

[Mr. Tool]

I know I'm still a noob round these parts and everything but I just want to say that this:

Y'all know I'm anti-thisthread.

may be the funniest thing I've ever read in this thread.

Don't kid yourself, this thread is all about piracy. We are taking music without paying for it. Some people are buying albums that they hear from here and that's excellent, but if you're going to post in this thread then don't get all high and mighty about what other people are/aren't doing with this music.

I love you mediafire thread but some people need to lighten the fuck up.

[pulpfiction21]

All four of these bands are really great and each one should be listened to by everyone.

[Metope]

A project created by Ben Cooper (known from Radical Face and Electric President) The project was made as a way for Ben to give out music that he has made through the years that he means “don’t fit on the records, and some I’d be hesitant to even call a b-side despite being recorded around the same time.” So in order to get this music out to people he created 100 home made copies with different songs on that he would send to people in exchange for something people wanted to send him.

Okay. Patients E-mail Trade is now closed. (...) from here on out, if you want a copy, you'll have to find a torrent, get someone to share a copy with you, or something of the sort. It's out of my hands.

Kinch - Advances (2008)



Fun indie pop from Arizona, they opened for Dear and the Headlights. Great stage presence, too.

Wikipedia:

Kinch is an indie pop band from Phoenix, Arizona. Their sound has been described as brusque power pop,[1] "an alt-rock pop style reminiscent of a few Brit bands, hearkening back to the sensibilities of '60s garage rock."[2] The band's debut album, Advances, was recently honored as the Best Arizona Album of 2008 by the Phoenix New Times.[3] Their pop sound has drawn comparisons to Coldplay and the The Strokes, while others have likened them to Ben Folds, The Arcade Fire and Blur.[4] The name 'Kinch' is a reference to the character Stephen Dedalus in the novel Ulysses by James Joyce.

I included a couple of their EPs along with the album, too. Enjoy!

And dude, not everyone lives in a city where they can go to a local store and find Cap'n Jazz at the record store.
I agree with people not needing to ask for a re-up of Hazards of Love or something similar, but everyone here is making it seem like Cap'n Jazz is a huge commercial band, that can be purchased at the corner store. THEY AREN'T and THEY CAN'T.
And last of all, there is no rule set that states that people can not ask for re-ups of commercially available music. So until someone of importance (not you) creates that rule, you should not give little rants.

I live in a village in the middle of nowhere, man. That record is available commercially in mainstream music stores in the UK, I'm not buying your argument that it's even remotely obscure. If you pay a little closer attention you might note that I said something about only supporting the uploading of music that is out  of print or ridiculously obscure, caP'n jazz is neither of those things, much like the majority of music in this thread.

I never said anything about rules regarding re-ups, I only said that I felt it was in poor taste to make any kind of request. I'm not stepping out of line by saying that. As for saying I'm not "someone of importance", you don't know who I am. Doesn't matter who says shit if they're being sincere and making sense. Who are you?

I read this thread because some people post here who share my views and post music the same way I would. Just because I'm reading this doesn't mean I'm using the thread the same way most the rest of you are. I'm against the way this thread is used for the most part but I'm not going to stop using it because the majority of you don't share my views regarding music piracy. If you feel I have no reason to be here, that's fine, but try to appreciate that some people who are different to you will be using it for different purposes, and when prompted they will express their own views, just as you do.

I still feel it needs to be closed and replaced with something a little tighter, or even just abolished altogether so people use more specialised threads to share music. I know neither of these things is gonna happen, so I'm going to make the best of the thread we do have.

Tarentel - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever Volume 3: Space Junk 7"
A brilliant little 7" from one of my favorite bands! This is part of Geographic North's excellent ongoing 7" subscription series


(Sorry for the tiny image. I can't find a larger picture anywhere!)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?q3zlgzmwjn2Here's a review from Aquarius Records:
We recently reviewed Tarentel's Live Edits disc on Digitalis, a collection
of, well, live edits from various performances, and one of the things
we noticed was how rhythmic and almost heavy some of the performances
were. The A side, here, or the North side, in keeping with the series
theme, sounds like it could have come from the same performance, very
drum heavy, a loping groove that sounds almost looped, as the drums are
subtly effected and all around them swirl bits of feedback and blurred
noise, very krautrocky, with that noisy backdrop surprisingly caustic
at points, but just as often smoothed out into buzzing snarling
dronescapes, still littered with jagged shards of feedback, and still
hovering over that relentless rhythm.
Turning South (to the B side) we find the band ditching the drums completely,
for a brooding soundtracky drift, spidery abstract guitars, warm
whirring buzz, lush smears of hazy ambience, subtle effects and
mysterious rumblings, all woven into the theme music for some late
night rainy day wander through some crumbling city, culminating in a
haunting bit of cacophony, a corrosive blackened drone, that plays out
to the very end of the side before suddenly blinking out.
LIMITED TO 300 COPIES! Super simple, striking covers, mint green vinyl!

Karate- 595 (Live album)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?lakztihbkldEveryone should already have some Karate in their collection. They play a jazz influenced indie rock with sung/spoken lyrics. After more than ten years of playing they called it quits. However in 2007 they received a recording of a concert they played in Belgium (their 595th show). Feeling that the living recording caught the band at the peak of their career they decided to release it. This album pulls from multiple albums and is a great introduction to this band as well as a great record for long time fans.

Copyright law has no provision for that - it is in most jurisdictions (but not all) illegal to download copyright music without permission from the copyright holders, and the fact that it may be unavailable changes nothing.  If, however, you are making what you feel to be a moral point independently of the law, then that is only a personal opinion with no effect on the law.

pulpfiction21, seriously, that right there is in poor taste.

I'm completely in agreement with Darryl here (as I've tried to state in other threads before).  Enough of the internet is dedicated to straight music piracy.  Why not have this place be for informing people of bands that we love, that others might not hear otherwise?

I agree with you on both points.  Why don't we stop dicking around and actually discuss the music posted?  I hate the fact that this thread has been looking like:

The only discussion anymore is "hay guyz get that *insert band here* posted a few pages back, itz awesome".  Nothing else.

[devomedes]

Now I don't have a high post-count, and I've taken my fair share of music. Someone a while back (I'm too lazy to look) some wise person basically made an argument against these "WHAT SHOULD THIS THREAD BE" posts, those deterministic and often condescending rants of privilege and scorn. But as a wise old loony from India said: "Be the change you wish to see in the world." And so, here are my thoughts on some music that's been posted to this thread recently, now that I've had time to let it sink in.

Stendeck's Somnambula is absolutely mind-blowing. It's electronica that is all over the place, emotionally manipulative and satisfying and earth-shattering and moody.

The new Thermals album Now We Can See is great, but I wonder when they're going to pen some songs that don't begin with a line like "We were born in the desert" or "We were born to sin." What's up with that collectivist spirit? It was seemingly revolutionary on The Blood, The Body, The Machine, where it was wedded with Old Testament symbolism, but this album feels more vague and wandering. Too standard punk for me.

Thanks for all the music, friends.

I'm pretty sure it was agreed that this was what we were supposed to be doing when the thread was cleansed of old, dead links in January. I also agree that was in very poor taste. You're not paying for the music so do you really have the right to be demanding of what you want? As long as it is clearly audible, which at 128kbps it is, i don't see how you can have any complaints about free music.

On the point above about discussion though, when this was brought up last month i created a thread for people to use for exactly that and firstly people contested it then people didn't use it. Its there if you want it, but it is supposed to be specifically for the music in this thread.

[godspeed]

I am just trying to be a nice guy and introduce people to artists. If you think this is all wrong then don't look in this thread.

i would be, in matter of fact, be making a personal point independent of the law.

Then why not start a thread about that sort of music?  You'll get all sorts of people making reccommendations; people who don't go near this thread even.  What's stopping you from that?

And finally, a big "Fuck you!" to no requests rule. Not in the aspect of "OMG please post the newest ABBA single," but I think it would be cool if more people posted music featuring flutes, or "classical" music, or at least point me in the direction to discover something more. I might have already found it, but it's still nice hearing what everyone has to offer.

This thread didn't start with having a no requests rule. The problem was the requests were outnumbering the albums 10-1 or more and there were people who were basically demanding that other people go to the trouble of uploading albums for them without contributing to the thread in any constructive way themselves.

[pulpfiction21]

First of all, lighten up people. My previous post was a complete joke, attempting to end that silly little argument on a lighter side. If you all were offended by it, then seriously reassess your life, cause you shouldn't let some dudes post on the internet about some other dude get you offended. Think about it. If you were offended about the "pills in the bottle" part because you yourself have some medical problem and take pills for it, reassess your life and realize that it was still a joke, not directed at you and you need to let the small stuff go.

As far as the rest of the stuff being said, why is there at least once every 3 pages, somebody on here complaining about how this thread "should" be? The thread is how it is. You can try to make it into what you want but it probably isn't going to work. I post music on here that is typically available on the internet on other websites, although some of the stuff I've posted I couldn't find anywhere else. I post these albums because, just because the music is available somewhere else, doesnt mean everyone has heard it that reads this thread. Like for example, i posted the newest Cursive i little bit ago, without describing the music because I thought everyone knew Cursive. People did not, and they listened to the album because i posted it on here. Now idk what everyone else thinks, but Cursive is, to me, a relatively well known and popular band. So i cant even imagine how many people have never heard of the much smaller bands that i post on here. That is why I do it.

The people that complain about the thread confuse me. People who spend time to make the uploads on here, don't do it for themselves. We do it for the other members of this forum. We take time out of our day to share music with everyone else.

While I don't appreciate the hostility from both sides, I don't know what a lot of you want others to post. All the "Back in my day before this internet!" crap is really tiring. I know I take the initiative and try out a lot of music and buy what I really like and delete what sucks. Anyone can listen to music on youtube or itunes or thousands of music blogs to sample. You can find most any album by going to sordo or filestube or the pirate bay or whatever and get everything you need. It's fun seeing what other people love, though, even if you don't like it. A lot of you have good taste, and I appreciate it when anyone takes the trouble to upload and post something. Even if I already have it or know I don't like the style, who cares? I know there are people who do.

This is close to how i feel.


Oh and about the requesting stuff, I've seen other threads on other forums that allow requesting, and they are some of the most hard to read threads Ive ever seen. 4 out 5 posts are requests and everything looks all nasty.

But why can't we have a separate thread that simply has requests? keep it away from this one, that way people who do not want to look at the requests wouldn't have too, and those that want to help others out could go onto that thread and read it.

And it could either be said that the requested albums could only be sent through PM to the requester, or if enough people request a certain album, we could just post the album in here.

That's just my idea, i'm assuming its been thrown out there before and was rejected so you can go ahead and reject it if you want.

[Johnny C]

no requests

including requests for re-ups

Sorry! If you can't grab it in time, it's probably elsewhere on the Internet.

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.

Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

[Johnny C]

the difference between you and me is that unlike you this thread is what i want it to be

i guess you can keep posting cursive or w/e but you can listen to stuff like that on spinner and imeem so why not spend your time uploading something more productive? i'm not going to put an embargo on major releases but i'm just going to suggest focusing on cool new stuff

[medicatesleep]

Are you guys done being touchy faggots or do I need to call a WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHBULENCE?


Post music, STFU.

If that is a problem:

[Sox]

Yeah Pulp, a lot of people miss the humour because there's only two ways to read internet forum post. You either assume the person is a jerk, or assume that the person is thoughtful, rational and tolerant. It's easier to assume people are jerks, so that's how people read a lot of posts! If you go back and re-read posts that at first seemed hostile, and have Morgan Freeman read them aloud to you, they take on a whole new tone.

I think music is something that's more rewarding the more effort you put into it. Whether you're making it or just listening to it. The more you invest, the more you get out of it. Music is worth paying for, it's worth the work you put into it. This thread doesn't require effort, it doesn't require work, there's something that's definitely missing. There's download links here and very little else.

There's enough people participating in this thread on both sides of the fence that there's going to be arguments about the way it's used. I'd gladly keep out of this thread if the people who keep me coming back had their own specialised threads elsewhere. I'd love it if instead of megapost, an individual thread was created for each band with samples of music, or OOP records. Discussion is more likely to take off in these threads, and a lot more background information makes it into them. If people invested more into specialised threads like that, people would get so much more out of them. It's been tried a few times, but has never taken off. So here we are. Arguing in the mediafire thread. The music forum is in something of a dire state right now, and the only place where music discussion is likely to happen is in this thread. Specialised threads for discussion/uploads of specific bands/genres as and when people feel like starting them would make a much healthier forum, if people were more inclined to start them. It's less likely to happen with a big ol' fat mediafire thread at the top of the page. It's like the free market. Sounds like a good idea, but the little guy always suffers!

There's not really a good example of what I'm referring to on the main page anymore, so I'll take JC's These Estates thread as an example (sorry JC). He could have uploaded a zip folder of music in the mediafire thread and it'd be just another post in the mediafire thread. But instead, there's a thread that we can keep going back to. Whenever somebody has something to say about These Estates, that thread gets bumped. New album coming out? That thread is bumped. Leaked track? Bump. News on an upcoming tour? Bump. Free music upload? Bump.
You post Cursive in the mediafire thread and few hundred people who aren't signed to the forum might download it and say 'hey, this is okay'. You make a thread for the discussion of all things Cursive, including past and present albums, line-ups, a sample of music, tour dates and gossip, people get a lot more out of that. Especially Cursive fans who are on the forum! All-in-one threads sound like a good idea on paper, but they never work well in practice, and I feel this thread is a good example of that.

Edit: Three new replies? JC has a point, integrity, dashing looks and a high post count, medicatesleep had nothing to add but an annoying GIF. I don't need to review my post.

[medicatesleep]

Yes I am an insensitive, uneducated neanderthal. At least I know the how to not blow a fuse by reading words on a screen. Again: STFU, post music. Be selfish on someone esle's time.

Mediafire was giving me trouble, so i upped it on MU.

the difference between you and me is that unlike you this thread is what i want it to be

I'm not sure if that's directed at me but you must not have understood my post, cuz i fucking love how this thread is. I love people being able to post whatever they want. I dont want this thread to change. My suggestion of the separate request thread was simply stated because people were voicing that they wish there was a way to request albums.   
If that is directed at Sox, since he is the one that wants this thread changed into something totally different, then forget what i just said.

i guess you can keep posting cursive or w/e but you can listen to stuff like that on spinner and imeem so why not spend your time uploading something more productive?

I post a lot of shit that isn't nearly as big as Cursive. And i don't understand why if it is my time that I am wasting by posting Cursive, why it bothers you and other people so much? OMG you have to waste your time looking at a Cursive post, the world is over. Scroll past it and move on with music that you'd rather listen too. I'm just giving people more options of music they might want to listen too. Other people enjoyed the Cursive album and isn't that what this thread is about?

No wonder so many people stay leechers on this site, people give you shit for spending your own time to upload albums for other peoples enjoyment.

Yes I am an insensitive, uneducated neanderthal. At least I know the how to not blow a fuse by reading words on a screen. Again: STFU, post music.

Nobody said those things, you just called yourself out. I haven't seen anybody blow a fuse or get angry outside of hasty responses that have misinterpreted something other people have said. Don't be so dismissive of other members of the community, everybody here is important, as are their views regarding this thread.

Be selfish on someone esle's time.
This thread is not about you.

Nobody said it was. There's rules at the top of this thread every few pages. People are posting about how they feel about these rules. Mods are reading this thread and considering what people think. People are suggesting alternatives a thread they feel might be detrimental. People are suggesting ways to make the thread more efficient and better for the people who take part. You don't like discussion? Tough. It's going to happen.

If that is a problem:

You can upload and download whatever you want! I'm not going to stop you.

But we're not doing requests and we're not doing a request thread because that is kind of over the ethical line. It's one thing to go "here is this cool stuff" and it's another thing to go "hey can you please post this thing I am too lazy or cheap to find myself."

[pulpfiction21]

That's totally fine with me. No argument with that. I was only throwing out an idea, and like i had said, i figured it would be shot down, but i still wanted to throw it out there.


So if there are no more requests for re-ups either, could you add that to the rules and post them, cause people will need to know about this.

[Johnny C]

Sure, done.

[Johnny C]

by the way if i see anyone calling anyone else a "faggot" on these forums there will be consequences

[valley_parade]

sexy consequences?

[Johnny C]

decidedly unsexy

anamanaguchi - power supply

It's incredibly awesome chiptunes/indie rock

Anamanaguchi combines the raw, electronic tones of the NES sound chip with driving, melodic guitars in an indie rock/powerpop fashion. NYU Music Technology student Peter Berkman began experimenting with the console in late 2003, swapping songs with friends from his hometown. Looking for a way to perform the 8-bit songs live, he got together a band including bassist James DeVito from New York, and Spencer Casey & Chalie Hankin from Baltimore to play guitar and drums (respectively) along with the NES. Since then they have been very active playing PulseWave concerts in New York and various shows on the east coast. In August they released their debut Power Supply on 8bitpeoples.
