I like it. Not sure if you've heard of Five Alarm Funk but you'd probably be into them.

Thanks! I've not heard of them but this is sick - having two aux percussionists is awesome

This is good man, the long song lengths and minimal vocals throws me off a little but I dig it.

 

Thanks for giving us a listen!  Yeah we really went a different direction with the music and didn't wanna rely on vocals to carry the weight of the songs.

Hi friends  

since you've made it this far...  my band Drop Party put out our debut album on 10/19 and it's really intense and I would love if you all would follow us on Spotify and maybe give us a listen.   The albums also free on Bandcamp and on all other streaming services of course.  It's called Lean Into The Wave and its 57 minutes of horn heavy funk, ska, latin, jazzy fire.

I don't think anyone has mentioned Random Access Memories by Daft Punk yet and I'm pretty surprised.  I'm also pretty surprised a few people have mentioned Science Fiction as if it even has a chance lol.

Anyways 4 contenders across different genres for me and almost all mentioned before

La Dispute - Wildlife

Deafheaven - Sunbather

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories

Kanye West - MBDTF

personal pick:

Hostage Calm - Please Remain Calm

does anyone wanna join a $30 points league? we got an autodrafted team that needs to be filled

my only no go date is the 28th.  i'll  try to be as flex as possible.

I just started watching Jojo's too! I'm loving all the music.

Also demon slayer is amazing!

Please explain post-ska. Does it just mean instrumental ska

I've been using it as a joke, but we're a mostly instrumental band with horns, and prior to this band we played in a ska band..  So we're post ska, aka what comes after.

Hey This is pretty fun!

Awesome job dude!

thank you!!!

Updated thread:

As hopefully you all know by now, I play in a band called Drop Party.  We put out a full length album called Lean Into The Wave which you can listen / dl / buy at https://droppartyband.com/listen

And we just released a music video!

Original post:

Hi! I'm not so active anymore, but my newish band Drop Party has released a new song and music video.  We're an eclectic blend of a bunch of different genres - with a bit of ska influence.  I play tenor in the band, and I also made this music video for our song.

I despise streaming services.  I use Apollo, but they don't have many releases that aren't FLAC so I now find myself buying albums on Bandcamp.  I don't mind paying $5 for an album, but like those above, I don't ever pay $10.  When my band drops our album, I justify my cheapness by telling myself it'll be free on bandcamp..  If the album is free on spotify and apple music, why should you have to pay to DL it?

Not really making many points here, but if all good trackers went down, I'd likely just purchase music on bandcamp and use Youtube a little bit more for albums and songs I don't have in my library.  I go to shows and buy merch (not much vinyl anymore ) still.

some really sick work on this page!

hi everyone!

For the past few months I've been working on a website / blog where I can talk about albums and songs that make me feel things.  I've always wanted a place where I could write about music that wasn't directly to social media, so I decided to build my own site.

I'm looking for others to help write for the site! You can write about any album or song, tell personal stories about how the music has made you feel, or explain why it means a lot to you, whatever really.  My only rules are no negativity and no reviews.  In other words, no "this album sucks" (just don't write about it...) and  no "i give this album  9/10 stars".

I have a URL I can share, it's built on Wordpress and I can share it and more info  via PM if you're interested.  I am very serious about this, so if you're interested please let me know!

thanks!

Jacob

a not typical song by a not typical band.  I mostly listen to sad music and have some overlaps with you, but this band will forever be my pump up, change the pace band. 

I'm gonna be packing up band equipment // driving while doing this so I might be AD near the end.

ok cool!

makes no difference to me!

Did we agree on a draft time?

my keepers:

Tarasenko

Marchessault

Fleury

Mackinnon

What if we bump it a few hours earlier? Like if we did noon EST, that would be 9am Pacific, 5 or 6 Europe. 

I could probs make 12:00 work, but no later than that.  I'd prefer like 11:00 but I think everyone would hate any earlier than that.

I'm playing  a gig at ~3pm EST on the 30th unfortunately.

No one his age would be listening to Evanescence in 2018, sorry.  Trolls gonna’ troll.

can someone please find me the evanescence animated video (of i think bring me to life) from some old video game or tv show.  I just remember it was weird and animated and lyrical.  I wanted to post it but after 2 hours I can't find it.

do you all care if i invite friends?

To keep it simple,  I think that the standings should be based on the regular season finish.  Obviously what I did was drastic (sorry guys) but I could have easily just played a "few people" each day and probably still lost the match up overall.

I'm cool with a punishment (aka 5th, my team is good now), but without a reason to play competitively after losing a playoff game, what's the point?

Also are we doing a bracket challenge?  I know a few who might be interested.

I studied for 3 month there but I don't remember much anymore.  I mean, I loved it.  The gardens of luxembourg are beautiful, the baguettes for .9 euro are amazing, ficelle de olive (olive bread) is also REALLY good.

I went to a small falafel shop in the marais? (the jewish area) that was awesome too.  I only really remember the food lol.  there is SO much site seeing to do that it's impossible to see everything, so I definitely recommend picking out ahead of time and trying to map a plan.  If i remember anything i'll let you know!
