Between Monday and Tuesday, I hope to finish digitizing some Byrds singles. Be prepared to hear their output from 65-67 in their original single mixes, which actually kills the album mixes because their producer didn't give a gently caress about them being playable on your turntable. There was actually a phone call between him and the pressing plant. He mixed a single so hot that it wouldn't play. He asked them if it would play on a radio-station's turntable with those heavy arms, and they said "Yes, but it won't play on your consumer's record player." He didn't care. He just cared that it would sound great on airplay. Plus, you haven't heard "Have You Seen Her Face" until you've heard the real mix.

Incoherence posted:There's no such thing as an "album with no songs". But this isn't quite true. If all of the songs in album abcd are either removed or have their album tag changed, then there will be no songs in album abcd. However, album abcd still comes up when you search for "abc", and you can still click on that link to be greeted with the album page and an empty list of songs. It doesn't seem to have any real downside aside from clogging up searches, though.

NewAgeRetroHippie posted:Absolutely. Added Jethro Tull - Cold Wind in Valhalla this morning.  ...was a bit of a thing with g1, as quite a few of our more "mature" listeners (myself included) appreciated the delights of standing on one leg blowing into a tin tube more than these kids with their modern R&B (Rap & Bollocks) and similar pretend music. If you like Prog then you also need to check out Van der Graaf Generator & Peter Hammill - they influenced many later bands including Genesis & Marillion. And for your utterly OTT Progtastic needs, there's the likes of Rick Wakeman & good old Emerson Lake and quite literally Palmer great mate!

I dunno about Tull. I kinda like Thick, but a few days ago there was a Tull song on and it sounded just like a Dire Straits song. Which was OK I guess because I really like Dire Straits.

Funny you should mention Marillion, I've just recently been getting back into them. Looks like they've got an album out that I was not aware of... or two. Think I'll add some to the GBS-FM queue next. Never heard Van der Graaf. I'll make it a goal to check them out when I have a bit of free time this week. Echoing Wolfey's request for perhaps a quintessential album to begin with. No prog list would be complete without a generous helping of Wakeman and ELP. Also, Yes. Close to the Edge should be in everyone's collection. edit: Happy the Man didn't go over so well with goons. NewAgeRetroHippie fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Aug 16, 2010 |

Just uploaded the rest of Machinegun Fellatio's Paging Mr Strike album (before there were only three tracks). Wish the rest of the band's music was easier to find, but this album is pretty awesome by itself.

Dormouse recommends "The Least We Can Do Is Wave TO Each Other" but she disclaims this with saying that her fav Genesis album is "Lamb Lies Down..." so her opinion doesn't count for much. I disagree.

Seriously, you impatient kids really need to wait at least 30 seconds after the song starts before posting comments. Although, non sequitur comments can be hilarious if played right.

I'm willing to accept the fact that there are a lot fewer metal fans (none?) this time around than there were amongst the original GBS-FM listenerbase, but could you possibly refrain from making the same 3-4 clichéd and unfunny comments on every dong with any kind of death vocal in it? Feel free not to give any of it a chance and continue making GBS threads all over it if you can come up with some original poo poo now and then.

I like (insert whatever subgenre) Metal, but people are going to get really pissy when there's at least one 10 minute death metal song per hour. It's hard to come up with something other then "lol this person is angry" that frequently. I could say the same thing for trance / ambient music. Don't expect people to appreciate your fringe genre music when you're making them listen to ten minute chunks of it.

Whizbang posted:I also enjoy DJ Magnetic Dozer quote:"Think of post-rave as a creative music factory. It requires a different type of creativity. You’ve really got to take different beats and mix them in a way that they synchronize with each other and create a haze that stuns the listener. They don’t know if they hate it or enjoy it, then before they know it, five minutes has passed by and they’re loving it. When you listen to the voice samples very carefully, you will be able to associate them with distingushable beats, just like the gears of machines in a factory. The machines work together to create a product of perfect harmony; the creation of mechanical sound which does not sound mechanical, but organic." - DJ Magnetic Dozer

Yeah, the instrument parts of heavy metal are fine, you just need to find some songs where they bother to actually sing instead of sounding like Christian Bale Batman passed out in a gutter.

There are worse things than growly rage-man metal; we could do a Power multi-Hour of Venetian Snares. Songs for the whole GBS-FM family like "Sybian Rock", "A Giant Alien Force More Violent And Sick Than Anything You Can Imagine", "Befriend A Child Killer", "A Penis Is Just A Great Big Clitoris With A Piss Hole", "Halfway Up The Stairway Of Mucus" and "Die Winnipeg Die Die Die Fuckers Die"! (I actually like Venetian Snares... except for Halfway Up The Stairway Of Mucus, which is Stairway To Heaven played through digitized bagpipes made of Satan's bowels. It is bad and terrible and should never be played.)
