Has anyone ever been to a concert before? How was it? Was the band better live? Are you planning on going to a concert soon?
I've been to hundreds of gigs. Hard to pick a favourite, some that stand out were the first time I saw Melt-Banana, Clinic at a festival was incredible, and Depeche Mode had a really cool stage setup!
I saw Megadeth twice, the first time was brilliant, the second time was okay but i think I got stabbed? I had my top off in the moshpit and noticed halfway through a big bleeding gash in my side. Maybe I got caught on someone's spiky belt or something. The first time was a great vibe, but the second time there were guys with swastika tattoos on one side and young yobs fighting each other on the other side, and Job For A Cowboy were a support act and they got booed off stage
I saw Melt-Banana for the third time a few nights ago. I love them! They were good but it seemed much the same set as last time I saw them, I guess they haven't released new music since then
i was supposed to go to a music festival with my s/o this past weekend but they got cold feet last minute. i was so pumped to see black midi
>>10 Woulda been cool! Though any time someone mentions Black Midi I get my hopes up thinking they're talking about the genre, but the band's okay
>>9
They're still around? That's cool. Where did you see them 9-san?
>>9
their uk tour didn't extend to NI this year so I missed them, so jealous!
>>12 Edinburgh, at the Caves, a cool old stone building with a high arched ceiling. I was up on the balcony looking down. The last two were at Mono and Stereo in Glasgow. I've only ever seen them as a duo, I would have loved to see them as a 4-piece. I want to say a big thank you to anon who posted 3 Melt-Banana mp3s on soviet russia's /m/ in 2007 and introduced me to all this great music!

I advice you to sit away from your computer and just enjoy the music but that is up to you. You can post your song afterwards and I will listen to it and tell you my thoughts too!
I make stuff like this...
https://infinitelivez.bandcamp.com/album/first-they-came-for-the-programmers
https://viptronic.org/dqn/DQN%20DIGITAL,%20VOL.%202%20DEQUARANTINED/02%20%8bg%96%ec%89%c6%92%ca%20-%20No%20Consequences.mp3 I had fun making this, I hope it makes you smile
Anybody here still make these?
I want to get a 400 disc binder and fill it up with tons of MP3 CDs.
Last night I made one with some albums from Piana and Lullatone.
This is a pretty amazing technology, I wish I knew about it back in the day I could have fit so many songs on my cd-rs instead of just making a typical audio disc.
Why would you do that? Burning FLACs on them as a normal audio disc is better. Best quality, and works on every possible player, whereas MP3 CDs only work in some (though admittedly most).
I have some MP3 CDs in my car loaded up with COOL FREE RINGTONES for emergency purposes
After some consideration I've decided to burn audio files to dvd-r and bd-r discs.
My stereo system plays MP3 CDs, but the thing is once an album is finished it starts playing the next one, I would prefer playback to stop after an album is finished.
Now I'm trying to decide whether to go with FLAC or AAC encoded to 192kbps.
Pros and Cons:
FLAC - Original file quality, futureproof, can be converted to any number of encoders later on.
AAC - Smaller file size while retaining quality, can fit more albums on one disc (one bd-r is around the same size as a 30GB ipod classic), later on if I choose to transport a song to a different device I won't have to waste time re-encoding everything.
Which route should I take?
I heard that tape drives have the best cost to storage ratio, makes them great for backups. I also heard that cd are the only media resistant to magnetic impulses (well, printed books are also resistant). I also heard that cd slowly rot away, that they aren't intended to last for longer than 10 years.
Standard approach is to have lossy audio to actually listen to, and lossless audio for archival purposes. I doubt aac vs flac is actually noticeable.
I'd describe the song as "jazzy." From what I can decipher in the lyrics, the singers first talk about getting on a bus, but the most memorable part is, I think, "Johnny, get down, gotta move it up" repeated in the song. Looking up that lyric doesn't give any relevant results. The singers are male.
Is it this?

If not, you should record yourself singing it and maybe we can have a better guess
There's a link to a general requests thread at the top of the board, but it's archived, so I'll post this here, maybe someone can help me:
I was at Kelburn Garden Party a couple of weeks ago, a music festival, and a DJ called Optimo played this crazy song I've been trying to find... it was techno, and it had a distinctive “UGH!” sound running through it on the 1. As the song progressed it cycled through different beats, from techno to a heavier schranz sort of beat, to a half-time bit, to a hardcore bit and back. Then it built up to a sort of false finish, before erupting again at double time.
Germany is famous for their diverse output of electronic music. EBM was a huge part of the nineties that was derived from such left-field schools of thought such as post-industrial music and futurepop. Let us take the time to appreciate and discuss some of their music.

Good stuff, it's a genre I've never really explored
Everything you linked to is Electro-Industrial.
Also, Futurepop came after EBM.
>>3 How do you define EBM compared to Electro-Industrial?
>4
EBM is more minimal and beat oriented, whereas electro-industrial is usually very textural and sample based.
Examples of EBM:

I like to use Clementine on linux and MusicBee on windows. Simple and easy to use music players.

Anata wa bakayaro desu yo
Just rip your albums to a single FLAC file with an embedded cue sheet.
Listening to them in 7zip will cause more strain on your CPU and I assume you're using a pentium II so you definitely can't handle that.
Anyways software is for lamers, just use cds and vinyl records.
If you absolutely have to have digital then use an iPod classic.
who's baka you're baka, zip without compression is the best thing to ever exist. You need to minimize amount of files you have if you don't edit them very often, to keep file reading sequential.
the
I just use WinAMP. I've got a nice Dorothy Wayneright theme. It's got kind of a red and black theming to it so when you have the shuffle and loop setting enabled it looks a bit like she's blushing. It's nice.
>Anyways software is for lamers, just use cds and vinyl records.
>If you absolutely have to have digital then use an iPod classic.
Why do you have this opinion? Just curious
How is having your albums in a zip file any different from a folder?
>>11
Physical media is a better experience.
When you have a tangible connection to an album you cherish it more and there is the ritual that comes with the playback.
As for me suggesting a media playing device over listen on your computer, well that has a certain experience that comes with it too.
Listening to music on a computer is just soulless and takes away from the value of the real album experience.
>better experience
I think that's just your personal feeling. It might be fair to say something like the sound quality is better listening to a record or CD on a good system compared to mp3s, but the old stories everyone tells about physically taking a record out and placing the needle on the groove and flipping it over halfway as part of the listening ritual don't necessarily add to the listening experience in any meaningful way. You can be just as emotionally involved in listening to a song without all that.
I have about 250 records and 500 CDs (after getting rid of a few hundred to make space) and while they're nice to have, I much more cherish my 99,489-song iTunes collection I've curated since childhood. I can listen to anything I want in a split second, and so much of it is extremely hard to find or never released on physical media, and I don't think there's anything inherently soulless about clicking them on my computer over taking the CD off the shelf or something.
Though saying that, I probably listen to my music more on my iPod when out walking or in my car. I much prefer having a huge selection of songs I like on shuffle, any one of them ready to delight me at any minute, than the hassle of listening to a physical album :3
>How is having your albums in a zip file any different from a folder?
When all the data you need is stored in a single file, it is often stored closer to each other, so spinning media drives don't have to move needle for every file individually but just read all of them at once.
That is if file isn't fragmented of course, if you do defragmentation sometimes.
Post some lyrics you like, Anon.
my boiling blood will never freeze
even at two bazillion Gs
although my flesh will disperse and scatter
our love will continue... as dark matter
Fuck! You! You're a fucking wanker
We're going to punch you right in the balls
Fuck! You! With a fucking anchor
You're all cunts so fuck you all
I hate myself and I want to die
BECAUSE IT'S WINTER
turned the gun on himself
Dividiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Driver!
Sharp like an incisor
called him the kaiser
>>1 is an idiot
JISAKU JIENs
In the dark of night
what what what?
Dividiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Driver!
Sharp like an incisor
Loss of a Loved One
I told them how my wife had fallen into sickness and to calling out her name with questions on her tongue.
We had always been so happy that at first I wasn't sad because I thought my love could keep her strong.
But I never thought so wrongly for the fever fought too strongly and it seemed she never fought at all.
Soon she died, and I despaired upon the love seat we had shared so many times on pleasant afternoons.
I tried and tried to understand why love itself could not command my true love from the comas of her mind.
Now, empty, open, and foreboding, stretching out like darkened clothing somehow stained with silence and with fear.
Death had brought its separation, giving me an education of a dull and slowly drifting day.
I filled my emptiness with sorrow, taking what I could not borrow from the friends I finally drove away.
This is the sad part.
Oh, it's such a sad part...
He gon' need a first-aid kit, ain't doin' the waitin'
This ass whoopin' is free, just like the Masons
Giant what I am, Attack on Titan
...
I go crazy, I Steve-O
Frick it, I'll blow like a damn C4
Heater beam, Dragon Ball Z, Piccolo
Niggas think I'm scared to get jumped, Geronimo
Wish a nigga would, like Pinocchio nose
We gon' beat 'em, leave 'em purple, look like one of Barney's toes
————————————————————————
Ski really came back with heat for summer 2021.
Can I just quit?
Let the words slip and drip from my cracking lips like some clever line?
I quit, I quit, I fucking quit.
It’s been said a few times before.
Will I mean it this time?
I cannot quit.
No words slip and drip from my concrete lips.
It’s a sinking line.
I’m tied to one end – the other’s out of reach.
Recycling words spent years ago on pages left unread.
Some feelings better left for dead still tend to fall from broken heads.
I sink like this again and again.
Da da da
Crack crack crack a rock into your skull
S-E-X that is the final goal
Crack crack crack a rock into your skull
S-E-X that is the final goal
Butter butter butter this chick is a hoe
Bustin' caps in your ass gonna drop you to the floor
Heat up the crack, sell it, make bank roll
Cheap cheap cheap is what you sell yo ass for
(HO)
Smoke a blunt with your homies for a while
Ninety-nine knights of the air
ride super high-tech jet fighters
everyone's a superhero
everyone's a Captain Kirk
with orders to identify
to clarify and classify
tremble in the summer sky
as ninety-nine red balloons go by
If you listen to the opening riff from the System of a Down song 'B Y O B' it sounds suspiciously like the main riff from the Megadeth song, Rattlehead
Metallica ripped off Megadeth as well, but their Four Horsemen is nowhere near as good as Mechanix
No one seems to have said anything about this before online, but "Lazy Line Painter Jane" is quite a bit like "Gone Shootin'"
I loved this weird K-pop song when I first heard it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Med2XipHJJM then I loved it even more when I found out the chorus is pinched from a punjabi wedding song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8DpbHjWXeY
>nowhere near as good as Mechanix
Instrumentally. Except Mechanix lyrics are terrible, while the Four Horsemen lyrics are outstanding
>>2
Dave Mustaine was in both bands and is listed on the credits for 'Four Horsemen' plus some of the other songs from 'Kill 'em All' and 'Ride the Lightning'
Omg I just realised Ashes In Your Mouth by Megadeth is a ripoff of Baggy Trousers by Madness

Share some chiptune/tracker music
>>4 I make chiptune-flavoured music sometimes using chiptuney elements and timbres, but not really pure chiptune... I like the artist Bubu though, sometimes see him busking in town with LSDJ plugged into a guitar amp
Computerization's “Fake Music” is maybe my favourite chiptune album (other than actual game soundtracks)
archive dot org /details/RAR009_COMPUTERIZATION_FAKEMUSIC
I guess he's not really “pure chiptune” either since he uses vocoders and stuff, I remember people holding the idea that it's only “true chiptune” if the artist uses authentic hardware soundchips
>>9 There was a guy kept spamming archive links
Chiptunes that:
1) Have smaller size than mp3
2) Not too cpu intense
3) Sound good
interest me the most. I want to make a videogame that uses chiptune-like music and soundeffects one day.
I remember "Zorg", "Fox" and "DSCK" posting their chiptunes on sovietrussia's /m/ board (it supported uploading a few tracker file formats), and I used one in a game I made at uni. I had just discovered Touhou and wanted to make one like that but you had to shoot emo kids. Turned out crap but the song was cool
What is the exact url of this sovietrussia? I wish they'd upload on something that doesn't flush their everything into nothingness too soon.
sovietrussia dot org was a wee imageboard I came across in 2007, it was part of the iichan network. It died of CP spam quite a few years ago now. It had a few good boards (I liked the Flash, Wallpapers and Circles boards, and its /z/ - Random board was brilliant) but the best was the Music board because it supported music file uploads, including mp3s and AACs as well as milky tracker files and things.
There was a good site for chiptunes called 8 Bit Collectives, which went down in 2011 but I found this archive https://archive dot org/details/Best_of_8_Bit_Collective-2006-2011 I'm sure you'll find some great stuff in there, though I'm not sure what it contains if it's just MP3s or other tracker files as well
*8 Bit Collective
This is a nice chiptune album that I discovered a few years back that I think you might like.

thanks for reminding me about that song. I love this. that would be perfect for a valentine's day mixtape
