Well, you, KvP and Koremora actually review stuff at length which most people in the mfire thread don't. Mfire thread is people copy/pasting reviews with no discussion.

To be fair people have already been saying that thread is kinda bloated, if there was ongoing discussion about every release that someone liked in there, it'd be unmanageable. Makes more sense to either have a separate stand-alone all-purpose 'discuss shit you found in the MF thread' thread, or just post about individual bands as you find them.

i dont think he means discussion as much as forumites discussing at as much as the person posting it writing about the album. which has always been my main complaint about the medaifire thread, people usually just posting a quote from somewhere or not even saying a word about the album they are putting up. i mean, sure theres the argument of "yr getting free shit dont bitch" but there are plenty of good blogs out there that post good music and say something about it that i would rather read instead.

amok · « **Reply #56 on:** 18 Jan 2010, 10:15 »

It's a very fair point. Although the fact that those other blogs exist, as you say, rather removes the need for discussion in there. Long thought-out writing is probably better suited to a genre-specific medium, and if the MF thread was that, it would be shit. Better to have both as separate entities and enjoy their strengths than try and compromise, I think.

So the mediafire thread is basically sordo

scarred · « **Reply #58 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 16:18 »

every time I post in the mediaf!re thread now I'm not even going to review the album, I'm just going to include a clever graphic that may or may not represent how i feel about it

Reed · « **Reply #59 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 17:09 »

Dogg, don't be like that. I think a lot of us just ignore the albums that don't have any type of summary with them.

scarred · « **Reply #60 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 20:21 »

something like

Spoon - Transference [2010]

Koremora · « **Reply #67 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 19:28 »

Well! Just updated the blog finally, gonna have another one on saturday as usually scheduled. This week's is Women's self-titled album!

michaelicious · « **Reply #68 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 19:38 »

You should change the "Buy it" link in the Women article to this.

Koremora · « **Reply #69 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 19:51 »

Only available for ordering in Canada. I guess I could change it to the Jagjaguwar site, but I generally link Amazon as that's the site most people are comfortable buying from.

michaelicious · « **Reply #70 on:** 21 Jan 2010, 20:06 »

Oh yeah, I forgot that FE only ships in Canada. Also apparently I can't read the bolded and underlined words

Anyway, I don't want to start a debate or anything but it makes me kind of sad that people would rather buy an album from Amazon than directly from an independent label, especially a label as excellent as Jagjaguwar or Flemish Eye.

follow'd'd'd'd

sean · « **Reply #72 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 09:33 »

especially when from the label, it is, uh
cheaper

doombilly · « **Reply #73 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 10:59 »

And Amazon thinks their 1st amendment rights include selling Animal Cruelty items.

Koremora · « **Reply #74 on:** 22 Jan 2010, 12:50 »

Yeah, I found the Jagjag page and linked to buy from there.

Koremora · « **Reply #75 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 19:00 »

Goodness! My Owen Pallett review had some serious issues posting, and I got them resolved tonight. Also, my review for Yeasayer's Odd Blood is up! Both are CD rips! Hooray!

scarred · « **Reply #76 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 19:02 »

Man I love that Yeasayer but the art is so fugly.

Also mediaf!re changed their upload limit to 200mb, in case dividing the albums into two parts is too stressful.

Koremora · « **Reply #77 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 19:58 »

Did they? Awesome! So happy.

I love the album art, though. It's fucking nauseous and awesome.

scarred · « **Reply #78 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 20:28 »

One of my local record stores has posters of it lining their windows. When 25 rows of Odd Blood are staring down at you in their bizarre, late-90s CGI glory, it's a little more than nauseating.

Koremora · « **Reply #79 on:** 30 Jan 2010, 20:40 »

hahahaha oh god

doombilly · « **Reply #80 on:** 31 Jan 2010, 06:42 »

oh man, I did not realize you were in Chapel Hill. You should have seen our trek home from Raleigh to Charlotte. Ugh, slowest I40/85 trip ever.
