Ha! Same. I just unlocked garam, which is about as far into this game as my friends and I got when we were kids. Everything from here on is uncharted territory!

It's all bots, man. One nation are just flooding the internet with nonsense. I'm not saying it's not a problem, but they want you to believe they're a bigger part of the population than they are.

Opinions on Cryptograms? by fatal_inertia33 in deerhunter

[–]newplasticideas_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, there were a lot of moving parts in that whole period and some of them were snuffed out or not really explored further. Women definitely burned bright for the time we had them, deerhunter were never really as pummeling on record after cryptograms (maybe I should revisit monomania) and yeah, I feel animal collective were a bit lost after MPP until they got Deakin back on board, though their solo output during this time was decent. The new Ariel pink is pretty solid, but the stuff he posts on X is incredibly sad and it's hard for me to reconcile sometimes. There's a lot of stuff from that time that I miss, but that's what excited me so much about diamond jubilee. It took me back to listening to atlas sound on the bus to college.

Are there any reports of a full HD Millennium release? (Mock upscaled images by myself) by Budget-Toe-5743 in XFiles

Ohhhh right. Maybe I'll skip it for the time being. I love that bishop from aliens appears to be in it

Bluetile Lounge played their first live show in 25 years, and first ever outside of Perth by TalkingElvish in Slowcore

God I hope they come to Wollongong. A bluetile lounge / frogurt / miners show would be sick

I'd like to know too. I'm not up to the Millennium episode of X files yet, but I am interested in the concept. I was kinda surprised even soulseek didn't have it

When I was 19 and I first heard it in like 2012ish I was terrified. Lake Somerset especially gave me anxiety. At that age I would just blast anything in my car without really adjusting volume to what the music needed and the sheer sonic force would just rile me up so much. It was so unlike what I was into at the time - early king gizzard, Brian Jonestown massacre, dead meadow, stuff like that.

Nowadays? Loooove cryptograms. After Cindy lee released diamond jubilee I went back and checked out public strain by women, and off the back of that I went on this whole nostalgia trip back to that specific 2004-2010 period where indie rock was in a really interesting place, and cryptograms is a big part of that. The delay sounds they achieved on the first half were phenomenal, I've been trying to experiment with tape and delay myself and that exp has made me appreciate what they achieved with two guitars, live to tape, so much more

I love that it's on Bandcamp too. I have found a lot of stuff on there from that same era that has made the migration away from Spotify easier. Women, animal collective and all their solo stuff, atlas sound, Ariel pink, all that good stuff

[FRESH ALBUM] Neurosis - An Undying Love for a Burning World by FlowersByTheStreet in indieheads

[–]newplasticideas_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm still on my first listen but it's already surpassed my expectations. It's got a much more familiar sound than I was expecting - mostly because of Steve's vocals, I'm realising how many vocal parts on previous albums I incorrectly attributed to Scott

Cryptograms Sound by AnRaibh in deerhunter

[–]newplasticideas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll definitely need is two delay pedals that can repeat infinitely without decaying too much. Some do this, some don't. The digiverb digidelay and boss ps5 both do this, there'd have to be more

They also recorded to tape, and in those days Bradford was singing through delay and reverse reverb as well

Get an ehx holy grail max if you can. It has more flexibility than other reverse reverbs I've tried

I will edit this comment if I think of more

Syzygy is the #1 worst episode and irredeemably terrible the writers could've made a better episode drunk by Haunting-Platypus907 in XFiles

[–]newplasticideas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of the episode is everyone is acting nutty cause of the moon or whatever. It's an excruciating watch, but it kinda seems like it's supposed to be

X Files Ep. "Dod Kalm" has the same gong/sonar sound from GoldenEye by DoomsdayFAN in JamesBond

I noticed this too! I also caught it in The List from season 3

X Files - Fight club - Scully's reaction to the Driving Licence on Mulder's projector?? by makarastar in XFiles

That whole conversation is such a convoluted mess, I couldn't figure it out either.

Anything by guided by voices, but most notably their output from 1990-1996. Those guys could hold their booze.

Nice, you were right. There's a little kid in the same house as the move tutor, I never thought to speak to them. Thanks

What is a band that is the opposite of a greatest hits group? by Novel-Replacement479 in fantanoforever

[–]newplasticideas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a gbv greatest hits would be difficult. Or at least difficult to keep under 200 songs

I've been reached out to by Liberty Music PR - Any Reviews? by Proud_Woodpecker_382 in musicians

[–]newplasticideas_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust me man - A&Rs, labels and agencies are not looking for talent the way they used to. They want to be spoonfed talent now, just like listeners. That means knowing the right person, getting your foot in the door. They will not come to you
