So... I haven't really been getting leaks since mediafire shit the bed, and I'm not willing to go to what/waffles at the moment because my laptop is on its last legs and it won't even support basic torrent downloaders... uhh...
Does anyone here have dropbox? Would anyone be willing to make a shared folder with me?
Would this be a good idea for all of us to be in on so we can share our music more easily?
Just wondering...
I just really fucking want to hear that new Iceage.
Mkay, well I just made a folder. If yall are interested in joining in, just pm me ur dropbox name (your email/ preferrably gmail if you have it) and i'll send you an invite!
Very cool. Adding everyone who has entered so far!
Not sure how this idea will pan out, especially considering dropbox only allows each user only 2GB of memory (this isn't bad for one group, but it adds up when you've got several shared folders)... maybe we could do something like a shared AOTW situation to avoid overflow?
Nope, s'all good! It usually takes 10 minutes or so to get a full album on there. It took me 45 minutes to get The Seer on the shared folder I've got going with my bandmates lol
To add to this idea, I was thinking we could add new album releases every week or so and delete older posts to make room to add more, concordantly. Also, I'm guessing we should only add 320kbps/FLAC quality. Of course FLAC files are pretty bulky but I don't think they'll fill up the folder too fast. The maximum capacity is 2GB if I'm not mistaken.
I don't always have FLAC; usually I just get V2. I definitely agree that we need to clear out the folder periodically, though, considering that there is a limit.
IDM is a dead genre, all of the previously good IDM artists are now shitty, and there hasn't been a good IDM upstart for a while.
Unless you call like Young Montana? IDM, but I'd call him a part of the beat music movement, like the mesh of wonky, instrumental hip hop and purple sound. Like there's elements of IDM in there but it's moved past that.
IDM just really bores me now, from my stand point it's just devoid of any emotion, just weird beats with pretty music box melodies and the occasional left hook thrown in like an acid bass line, hip hop scratches or a bit of noise.
A dude who I used to really dig but now his stuff is just so lifeless to me.
The appealing thing to me about IDM is that it's so constantly evolving and difficult to define. Sure, most of the "classic" IDM artists currently aren't doing anything interesting, and the artists who chase after that sound now generally aren't improving it, but I consider artists like Flying Lotus and Actress to be IDM because they experiment with electronic music in such a way that matches the then fresh and unique approach that the older and more definitive artists in the genre had, even if it isn't sonically very similar to them.
What I did: Spent $20 on googleAdwords. Created an ad for "free online cloud storage" that led to signing up for dropbox through my referral link. I got to 29gb of storage in two days.
Download speed for me is pretty good. Get yo wifi rates up to speed, my niccas.
I was thinking that we should clean up/delete the dropbox when it gets to like 85% to 90% full. It's gonna take quite a bit to fill it up, so no worries on that end. Gonna listen to Comadre and MBV now :)
I checked out Comadre and I enjoyed it. Didn't really care for MBV. I'm not sure I'll ever like Dream Pop. Wasn't terrible, just not for me. Didn't like Iceage either. Maybe I have to sit with it some more, idk.
Aw, how cute, you guys have groups? Is a typical night of yall sucking each other off while jizzing over pitchfork reviews? Awesome group, yeah... :]
Anyway, I agree with @hedgeway. I'd rather not listen to your shitty tastes in music. Let's stick with the simple format, please (this is me being nice).
If your stupid idea comes to light though, it should be separate from the Dropbox, imho. That might've been your motive from the start, or least it should have been.
shotty being the first one to get sucked off! and i'd like to finish on the latest my bloody valentine review, if that's ok with everyone else? Im not too picky, im just thinking that review will probably give me the biggest climax
well if I were to take that comment seriously (and not like it would change your opinion in any way) Boris often pays tribute to other artists they like (they've paid tribute to Nick Drake plenty of times for instance, and Venom, and the Melvins, among many others), so Smile is likely a tribute to Brian Wilson. But yeah, I highly doubt they had TMBG in their minds whatsoever when writing Flood (plus, who would). It's just a stupid assertion....y'know, if I were to take it seriously.
"Boris often pays tribute to other artists they like (they've paid tribute to Nick Drake plenty of times for instance, and Venom, and the Melvins, among many others), so Smile is likely a tribute to Brian Wilson"
yeah, I made that pretty clear before but in case you needed to see it again....
and as far as Flood goes, you're acting like TMBG are some Beatles-esque band of great status. Prior to you telling me they had an album called Flood, I had absolutely no idea that existed. And unless they have some gigantic fanbase in Japan (once again, denying it) it's pretty ridiculous that you're calling Boris "lazy" because they share an album title. Seriously, it's a stupid argument no matter what way you look at it.
lol, TTK with yet again the subliminal jabs. Be straight up, bitch... :] (cool thing is, I can say anything and add a smilie at the end, and everything is cool. So cool)
I can't wait for Boris' next album NO LOVE DEEP WEB.
Still haven't heard of it till now. And to say Boris and TMBG have different audiences altogether is beyond obvious so it doesn't even matter if they have the same title. It's not some iconic timeless classic or anything
I just... Robby do you think for a second I'm honestly trying to argue what the official Flood of TND forums is? Why would that be a thing? Why does this discussion exist?
