I like them. They're anthemic and epic as all hell, alternately bringing to mind beautiful mountain vistas, pre-emo screamage, and graffitied bathroom walls.

Pretentious? Well yah! But who said pretentious music is bad?


Haha, wierd. I love em. :rolleyes:

I've never got a PM cause I like a band noone else does, haha!

Hayden: check Rustie - Glass Swords. You'll LOVE it. Trust me (this is coming from the guy who recommended you WUT and filled the dubstep thread). Defo in my top 3 of the year

check this out:

Everyone else: hi, it's been a while

(also, Hayden: check out Chrissy Murderbot's album, Women Studies. It's a killer)

I can't afford to order it yet but I'll buy it soon... I was thinking about getting it with the bonus 3" cd, it also has 22 tracks on right? must be very short tracks then!

i think i read somewhere that the 3" cd didn't have 22 tracks, i'm not sure though. either way i think it's short, but apparently it's quite atmospheric/ambient (less beats than on usual mwc tracks) so i think it can be really interesting to hear..

This Gonk edition features 22 tracks of Confusing English Electronic Music, and has an engaging picture of a rather lovely gonk on the cover. But be careful. While the outsides may look sweet, the insides may be sinister. These tracks are also of suitable length to use as ringing tones upon a mobile telephone. And of course, Miniature 8cm CDs are not to be played on the majority of laptop CD drives, so do bear that in mind.

SYRFox 12.11.2011 09:57 AM

seems like i was wrong then :D they must be short then, yes. i'll have to find out whether my drive is able to play mini cds too...

if not then I'm sure some kind soul will be able to help you out ;)

you seeing Thurston tonight man?

SYRFox 12.11.2011 10:10 AM

nope, Paris is a bit far from where I live, especially as I'm in the middle of my mock exams... what is even more frustrating is that I miss Glenn Branca playing near me tonight because of these exams :/

stu666 12.11.2011 10:16 AM

good luck with yr exams dude, that sucks about missing the shows... sorry for hijacking yr thread Hayden!

narlus 12.14.2011 10:20 PM

anyone who digs metal should check out Oranssi Pazazu.

SpaceCadetHayden 12.16.2011 11:26 PM

thank you guys i'm downloading all i haven't heard right now

Diesel 12.17.2011 03:53 AM

Check out Lady Gaga - Born this (cunting) way.

Also, Little Shits.

Derek 12.17.2011 08:52 AM

Adam Cooley told me to tell you all that Police Teeth - Awesomer Than The Devil is his favourite album of this year.

startur 12.17.2011 02:49 PM

im surprised that i havent heard about shabazz palaces on this board much (i apologize if someone has brought them up before). the album Black Up is one of the best rap albums of the year

also for people who like rap Onakabazien http://onakabazien.blogspot.com/ oooo there's a remix of Island Song by U.S. Girls...

ive mentioned it before but i really like clams casino. he's produced beats for lil b and asap rocky. the Instrumental album and they Rainforest ep were great.

also, you can download a coma cinema ep that came out in May from their website, though you probably already have it

do you only listen to underground/alt rap?

startur 12.18.2011 10:32 PM

no...i actually dont listen to a lot of rap so maybe shabazz palaces comment doesnt hold much merit
