I have a question. Do you know about how many downloads it takes for mediaf!re to start checking out a file?

It seems to be pretty random right now, as far as I can tell.  I've found links that are like a year old that still work and a couple times things that people uploaded just for this thread have been taken down within 24 hours.

No, I mean it, the new Hold Steady owns you and all you stand for.

BLACK FLAG LIVE 84

1984 represented a new awakening for Black Flag fans. After seemingly endless court battles with Unicorn Records, Black Flag finally broke loose to release new material on their own SST label. During the time of the court battles the band considerably decreased its recording activity, but continued to evolve.In contrast to the short-burst and high-energy Black Flag of a few years ago, today's efforts tend to be longer and less thrash oriented. Live in '84 is a performing summary of the three studio albums they have released this year: My War, Slip it In, and Family Man. Live in '84 is a recording of Black Flag's Aug. 26 concert at the Stone in San Fransisco.

Tribes of Neurot’s 1999 album Grace was released as a companion piece to the Neurosis album Times of Grace, and was designed for listeners to play the two albums at the same time, but not necessarily in-sync. The results were like a far better realized version of the Flaming Lips’ 4-disc Zaireeka effort. The double disc Adaptation and Survival: The Insect Project (2002) arrived as a furthermore clever experiment that harnessed the group’s esoteric thinking with a concept crossing John Cage’s musical explorations with Stan Brakhage’s bug-smashing film work. The group's members compiled insect noises, then distorting, synthesizing, and manipulating the recordings into freakish, buzzing noisescapes devoid of humans-playing-instruments. The result is a bizarre illustration of actual living things as instruments – from which listeners could also re-mix and simultaneously play tracks and subsequently revise the project altogether.

I think I'll start contributing:
I noticed Alopecia was dead so...
Here's my favorite indie folk rapper!
Why? - Alopecia

AMG
Quote
Why? are not hip-hop, but they are also much more than indie rock or folk or whatever other genres are thrown at them, staying within those distinctions but also moving forward, looking outward, all while remaining esoterically accessible. This is especially apparent on Alopecia, the band's third full-length, which, while musically resting comfortably in the experimentally-tinged indie rock realm, explores as many other influences as it can touch without ever overextending its reach. It's all wonderfully, awkwardly tied together by Wolf's lyrics -- detailed and odd and sometimes all too humanly crude -- which find a way to be both extremely intimate and detached, simultaneously.
Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?ox4nt4jamyy
Why? - Elephant Eyelash

Sorry - Pitchfork
Quote
Elephant Eyelash sounds less crisp and less striking than the folk-plus-beats arrangements of 2003's Oaklandazurasylum, but it brings more heart; where that earlier album's lyrics crackled with the anxiety of beating yourself up after a bad day at school, Elephant Eyelash soars like the last songs on prom night.You'll still puzzle over the lyrics-- Wolf says he's writing about a break-up, though don't let that limit your imagination-- but the emotional intent is blindingly clear.

Guys, please, please, please post some description of the music you're hosting. I don't care if it's your personal thoughts, something from AMG, whatever. I have no doubt that what you are posting is good stuff, but album art alone is not enough to suck me in, and I don't feel like going and googling to find a review of the album you've posted to figure out whether I might like it. Hell, if I know what genre it falls under and you give me a couple of adjectives that describe it I'll almost be happy.

My favourite album of 2007.  Stendeck's "Faces".  If you like IDM, Gridlock or subsequently Bitcrush, you'll enjoy this.


Review:Faces is a long album. At 17 tracks you might think that it might be a little too much to swallow but the whole album has such a great flow to it that it carries you through with complete enjoyment and satisfaction. With tracks like the powerful and melodic "Like falling crystals" and the excellent organic pad harmonies on "Steal flowers to make drugs" it's almost easy to forget about the great gritty rhythms and (if I'm not mistaken) real instruments such as guitars that fill out this album. But these are merely details, the important thing is the feel and in this the album excels. Faces has pretty much been on repeat on my MP3 player and has not become boring once. I recommend this to anyone who loves melodic and gritty IDM. (Igloo Magazine)

My favorite album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, at least from the latter part of their career.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?ncded9lwmjj
Allmusic.com:
Quote
Leonard Cohen stated in the song "Anthem," that, "there is a crack in everything/that's where the light gets in."No More Shall We Part is a mosaic of those cracks. If this album is about anything, it is about love's ability to survive in the world. It is examined concretely and abstractly; to the point where it meditates on this theme even cinematically. His methodology for the listener is, even though these are intimate conversations, the effect is illustrated in widescreen. In this way, Cave touches the heart in the same way Andrei Tarkovsky's films Stalker and The Sacrifice and Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire do. There is powerful emotion here, spiritual, psychological and romantic, without a hint of the sentimentality that would make it false.

And I figure I should push some Swedish music too.

Garmarna - Guds Spelemän (released as God's Musicians in the US)

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?d3odafzjujy
Quote
Keeping solidly to Scandinavia's reputation for gloom is the folk-rock band Garmarna, which mixes traditional Swedish acoustic instruments with electric guitars and the intermittant African drum. Garmarna vaires its attack from low-key telling of horrors to an amplied assault in songs that report of ghouls, trolls, werewolves, and other folkloric denizens of the northern European collective imagination. To its credit, the band maintains a non-ironic, matter-of-fact approach as if merely documenting local history rather than acting out melodramatic material that might even have disturbed the Brothers Grimm. Some surprisingly light and graceful moments arise from this deadpan perspective.

Not sure if this counts as a request, but I remember a little more than a month ago someone offered to upload In a Priest Driven Ambulance by The Flaming Lips.

I'm not sure if that offer is still valid, but I've recently become very interested in this album. An upload would be most excellent.

Dan Friel - Ghost Town

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?dyjkbobgycy


from cokemachine glow
Quote

This album is poised at a strange nexus of holy-fucking-shitdom. Do I love it because I listen to too much music or do I listen to too much music to find a record like this? Surely this polyglot bumblefuck is a joke of some sort, a gag on mash-ups, a grotesque parody in miniature of, like, blogging or something. Only, it can’t be that, because it’s not funny—it’s fucking serious (!). Apt title, this: Ghost Town contains within it the haunted forms of the most worn records on my shelves, specters of (yes) (seriously) Neutral Milk Hotel, New Order, the Dust Brothers at their best, the Chemical Brothers at their best, the Pixies, Is This It (2001) and pop music et al along with the resonant memories of those I’ve recently wiped with decided dissatisfaction from my cerebral RAM: the rhythmic puncture of Clark and Justice, the blissed-out fuzz of Times New Viking and No Age, the overbearing melodic earnestness of all those twee things I despise.

All of which is to say that if this record weren’t so lo- and sci-fi it might be this year’s Person Pitch (2007): that sunbaked cartwheel through sandy shores; our collective dream vacation. Like a great DJ set it played with an extensive musical background for the sole purpose of making good sounds, of sounds sounding good for self-serving purposes while toying with the segment of listeners that ponders the intersection of Brian Wilson and Ricardo Villalobos, but do so like seriously (!). I am not one of the people who bought fully into Panda Bear’s record, but I understand the appeal. The sweltering assuredness of its sonic palette, moving wildly through influences but only laterally through production aesthetic, holds a real draw, although Panda Bear often mistook his slighter moments for sublimity. Regardless, Dan Friel—knob-twiddler for Parts and Labor, a band many (myself included) turned a blind eye toward last year—has an ear for concision that renders this Ghost Town EP something like amazing. Okay, just amazing.

A note, first, on the record’s aesthetic. While it sounds fucking terrific played at ear-piercing decibels via vinyl, especially if there’s a strong, clear bass presence on the speakers (cough), you will have a moment three tracks in (the opening of “One Legged Cowboy,” specifically) whereupon you realize this record has, largely, the sonic fidelity of the NES videogame Metroid. I could see this being a deal-breaker in some circles. In my circle, by which I mean me, it’s as appealing as a bronze statuette of my genitals, meaning: very, but in a personal way. Because, I mean, if you know anything about videogame music (which you probably don’t, and shouldn’t) you would know that Metroid made more with 8 bits of sound than any other videogame of its era, something haunted and iridescent and ’80s, the bleep-bloop equivalent of Jordan Cronenweth’s cinematography for Blade Runner. I’m not sure what I’m getting at here either, besides this: Ghost Town sounds like my taste in things. In an alternate universe I’m writing this same review and talking about omelettes and my one friend Mister J. (Hey, Mister J!)

Anyway, if haunted beeps are one end of the sonic spectrum explored here, the other is the revved fuzz of Outrun on “Singing Sand,” something we might call “noise” or “noise-influenced” if it contained much thunder or felt much like noise. But it is decidedly not noise; my neighbors remain unperturbed. Instead, where the track falls on the album it’s a final shake of paranoid blurts before the sanguine respiration of the album’s finale. And perhaps “Horse Heaven” falls to rest a little more serenely than a twenty-minute record should. I forgive it; the record seems okay with imperfection. It has, by “Horse Heaven,” already reached high points of aching melodicism (the twin title tracks; “Desert Song”) and of loping, jacknifed percussion (“Appliances of Bremen”), and at times pieces of both stitched together like armor across a pirouetting Sasquatch (“Buzzards”).

In short I think this is the best possible record to which I might apply flimsy critical superlatives. This is gorgeous. This is great. This is the best album of the year so far (except for Erykah Badu’s). This is better than every other record you like right now (except for Erykah Badu’s). This record makes me believe in the future of music. I could also write at least three more paragraphs comparing it to other records. I’ve got this great sentence written in my head about how it feels like Popol Vuh’s most magnanimous soundtrack work but instead of recalling the glory of helicopter-gleamed shots of mountains and glaciers it sounds as if mapped to the soaring turbidity of the best urban architecture. No, not Frank Gehry. The point is that this marriage of pop songcraft and churning lo-fi production is a work of absolute inspiration. I will continue to stand mostly alone loving Fuck Buttons, who have done something similar, but they’re marred by their attempts to grasp out of scene toward some whole untarnished beauty. On Ghost Town Dan Friel attempts no such mean feat. Here he stands alone without referent surrounded by the ghosts of his influences, breathing music like electricity. It is a self-contained triumph. It is very short. And it is, like I said, amazing.

Hubert Sumlin - About Them Shoes


Quote
Hubert Sumlin's About Them Shoes is a refreshingly pure blues recording which comes at a time when others are distorting the genre with various "contemporary" elements. The songs are from the repertoire of Muddy Waters -- seven tunes written by Waters (McKinley Morganfield), four by Willie Dixon, one from Carl C. Wright, and a beauty by Sumlin to close things out. Dixon's "I'm Ready" starts things off with Eric Clapton on lead guitar and vocals, the drums of Levon Helm, and Paul Oscher's oozing harmonica filling in nicely with David Maxwell's piano. It's bouncy and shows a side of Clapton not often present on his own albums. Sumlin's lead is tasty, giving way to Oscher's equally gritty wail. Waters' own "Still a Fool" has Keith Richards on lead vocals and sharing the guitar chores with Sumlin. It's got that Rolling Stones-ish ragged edge that producer Rob Fraboni knows so well; Fraboni's guiding hand never gets in the way of the musical process that flows across the CD. James Cotton's harp comes in to spice up "She's Into Something," which features percussionist George Recile on lead vocals and Helm back on the skins. Helm plays drums on eight of the 13 tracks, Recile on four, with the final number, Hubert Sumlin's only original, "Little Girl, This Is the End," closing the set without percussion.

Quote from: amg
Midnight Juggernauts revel in uninhibited dance music with a retro flair, carefully produced and polished to a sheen. But where Scissor Sisters looked back to disco and Bee Gees primarily, Midnight Juggernauts have a slightly different spin, taking inspiration from the Eurodisco productions of Giorgio Moroder, David Bowie's rich tenor voice, and the future-shock themes (and synth) of prime '80s synth-pop, with a few Beach Boys harmonies thrown into the mix.

Typical of The Album Leaf - laid back and full of electronic beats, along with a strong presence of electric piano and string melodies. Not quite as post-rock as, say, 'An Orchestrated Rise to Fall', and somewhat simpler too. It's got a bit of a RATATAT/Notwist vibe to it (IMO).

That rule is there mostly to make sure nobody uses sendspace. The occasional rapidshare/megaupload isn't gonna bite anyone, I don't think.

Even sendspace is okay (IN GREAT MODERATION). Emilio has put up some larger bitrate files through sendspace occasionally.

Crystal Stilts- Crystal Stilts[2008]

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?bbmszwswygl
I haven't given this a listen yet, but I upped it for a friend, so perhaps you all will enjoy too.

From Pitchfork
Quote
The Crystal Stilts are moody-sounding fuckers who make fabulous stripped-down garage-pop. Their mix-and-match post-punk ditties manage to sound both affected and effective at the same time; they're weirdly life-affirming and very fun. You want to dance when you hear them-- dance with a furrowed brow, maybe, but move around nonetheless. Singer Brad Hargett is from Brooklyn by way of Florida but sounds like he's from Manchester by way of Slough. The main thing I wonder when I listen to Crystal Stilts is why is it so hard to make exceptional garage-pop like this? I mean, how hard can it be to plonk out a little la-la-loo-lee number on your $80 Sears guitar or your beat-up Casio and then record the thing in the bathroom in one take? It's been stated in ways both eloquent (David Fair's brilliant and oft-quoted manifesto "How to Play Guitar") and cheesy as heck (Bono's "three chords and the truth" which he lifted from Harland Howard re: Hank Williams), but should it not by definition be simple to do this?

Of course it is not. Rock'n'roll is theft-- all the great ideas have been recycled a thousand one times already. So to hit upon a winning combination of old and new gets harder than coming up with a band name that doesn't return hundreds of hits when you plug it into the old Google. (I have to say that I wish another band had already called themselves Crystal Stilts already, as the name outright blows-- plus what's with the mini-plague of Crystal bands?) Self-limiting is the key to great garage-pop: By keeping it stripped-down on purpose-- whether you're the Saints ca. 1975 or Beat Happening ca. their whole career-- you unleash something greater than yourself. This is the Oulipian ideal, that one can free the subconscious by making oneself a drone to either the obvious or to seemingly haphazard rules. It's also partly why La Monte Young is punk as fuck-- but you know that already.

Crystal Stilts do not sound like the Saints or Beat Happening or La Monte Young. These are weird pop songs you clap your hands along to. They pile a rockabilly riff and nursery school melodies onto a revved-up bass line and sweet surfy 60s organ riff on top of minimalist percussion on the song "Crystal Stilts". The amazing "Crippled Croon" takes the stand-up drum roll from "Just Like Honey" and grafts echoed-up vocals, a reverb-swallowed guitar, and a sub-atomic bass line onto it. And "Shattered Shine", with its psychedelic layers of tambourine, guitar, and organ, is a perfect marriage of Ian Curtis-y doom with sunshine-y Shop Assistants-style pop. The Stilts sing in fake Brit-sounding accents, but somehow the dude's droll, goth-y croon never grates; it helps that the band pushes his vocals way low in the mix.

In what little press the band has gotten, they've been compared to New Zealand bands. I feel that a lot of this alleged New Zealand copping has been pasted onto the Stilts because it was Clean drummer/singer Hamish Kilgour who helped to "discover" and help the group out. It's worth pointing out that in the 80s themselves, many American acts were greatly influenced by NZ groups. It was the late 80s, of course (and on into the early 90s), but acts as beloved today as Pavement and Neutral Milk Hotel-- as well as currently obscure acts such as World of Pooh and Wingtip Sloat-- would have sounded a lot different if they hadn't been buying up every Flying Nun record they could get their hands on back in the day. Some folks complain that they cannot understand Brad Hargett's lyrics, but pop lyrics are typically a disappointment. Burying them is actually a winning strategy, and it's a safe bet that this is intentional-- that Crystal Stilts are aesthetes and are doing this because they also like records that sound this way. Either that, or the Stilts are broke as shit.


edit I can't believe I spelt that wrong

hope this all works, n'alls ok..

thankyou for all those wonderful will oldham albums, i've only just started listening to him recently after that Jeff Lewis song...

ok, here's a couple of album i thought you might like.. probably old news though..

this first one, all the mags here in the uk has been raving about this bloke for a while now, so much so that it originally turned me off listening to the album, but annoyingly, it is bloody good. Apologies if you've all aready got the album.

His story of log cabins and living in the woods is somewhat dubious, but obviously brilliant marketing. i might try that one day on my resume.

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago



Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?xnwi3jldfmn

and this one, a record from a few years ago, i played it almost to death back then, and i've only just gotten back to listening to. Graham Coxon was the guitarist in Blur, but dont let that put you off. Lots of loud fuzzy guitars, and the nerdiest but most sincere of cockney vocals you're likely to hear. He makes the current crop of Mockney indie vocalists on every radio here right now, sound the private schoolboys they are. With cocks in their mouths. I love this album. uhuh.

I don't contribute to this thread very often.  I don't download much either, but it's fun to see what people are listening to, uploading, and discussing.


That said, the following albums were very hard for me to come by, and because of this I find listening to them that much more satisfying.  I hereby pass this satisfaction on to you.  Enjoy

Hey you guys. Not an album request, but a request for advise.

I've been getting into synth and the like lately, listening alot to Ladytron, Spleen United (up it if anybody is interested), Portishead, Roisin Murphy and stuff like that. So since all of you listen to so great fucking music, I'd bet that some of you know some great synth that I don't! Give it up!
You don't have ot up it, just give me names...

THANKS

If you like Ladytron, you could always try We Are Wolves. A much rockier and dirtier sound but synths and abstract lyrics none the less.

And for a contribution, here's Lulu Rouge.

I couldn't find a review in english, but danish critics has said stuff like "the best album of the year, so forth" and "the next big thing" (actually that wasn't a critic, but Trentemøller).
They inhabit the borderland between Club and Dub, and it's really good! A critic described it at a smokefilled night club, half an hour before closing, and the only people who's left are the ones who don't have anywhere to go. In other words dansable and melancholic at the same time.
If you like it, buy it. They're danish, which means never big enough to live of it. The cd goes out in a couple of days. Got it of the artist, so technicly I'm the leak...

Quote
"Godspeed into the mainstream" is one of my favorite albums from 2005, the Danish electro unit Spleen United knows exactly how to create the perfect sound in heavy synth music with memorable pop choruses.
Now, can this exciting new band deliver a new strong synth album like their impressive debut?
The answer is short and simple, YES!
The new single "My tribe" opens the album with a suggestive beat and a mysterious vibe but no less, an infectious melody that wont leave your head for days and the following "Failure" is even more catchy like a walk down memory lane of the 80's AHA.

The cool synthesizers totally take over in "Suburbia" where the atmospheric sound combines the musical worlds of Depeche Mode and Muse, I don't know if there's such a term like Arena Synth but the brilliant "Heat" sure sound like it's a soundtrack for the stadiums.
"66" is a given hit or my name is Donald Duck, they should support Depeche Mode on their next world tour so the world will know about this excellent band.
Synthmusic has a new face and it's name is Spleen United!

Dogg I would give you so many Internet high-fives if you could upload the Grafton Primary EP. I just can't find it in the usual methods.

(P.S; which remixes are on the Justice EP?)

The Relativity EP follows the success of "Hidden Cycle", a track that was picked up by JJJ and which stayed on rotation for many months eventually securing a place on the Home & Hosed’ CD. The EP’s lead track "Relativity", with its addictive hooks and skewed take on love and science, is already receiving airplay on JJJ and was remixed by Tommy Trash, amongst others, for the club promo release. Featuring 5 new tracks plus the TT remix, the EP proves that together with their compelling live show, GP are one of the most innovative and exciting new acts to emerge on the scene over the last year.
