An idea just popped into my head.

I was thinking each of us should post 2 albums from 2013, one that can be found on Spotify, & one that can be found on Bandcamp (or 1 band that can be found on both), for someone to check out. The idea being that random people can check out a random album they have no preconceived notion about, in hopes that someone will find something new they like.

I was thinking we can quote the suggestion we're going to check out, along with posting a suggestion of his or her own. Once you listen to the album, you can edit your post to include your thoughts on what you listened to.

I'd say don't even post a "RIYL (Recommemded If You Like)" or list the genre of the band you suggest. I think it would be cool to just go into it completely blind. Obviously if you get a few seconds in & it's something you hate, you can post about it & move on.

& if this idea sucks, flame away & we can just move on haha.

But, here are my two...

Ha Ha Tonka - Lessons

(Spotify) http://open.spotify.com/album/1lZXfB6hnz4tQNHHafdeIx

damascus - Heights

Best album of the year. Their last show is in 5 days and I'm super bummed. Name your price download though.

 

I really enjoyed that.

Here is a bandcamp band that I saw open for Hrvrd in Lubbock, TX. The live performance was incredible! I'm not going to say what type of music it is so you'll just have to see for yourself :) These guys are from Amarillo, TX and live just a few hours away from my small town. This is their first little EP recorded so keep that in mind!

We already have 2 threads which are essentially the same thing, but hey, if you guys want to do it up again I ain't stopping ya.

Yeah if the consensus is to close this out in lieu of those, that's cool. I just figured we could do a little more interaction & include Spotify.

So far no one has followed directions yet though haha.

EDIT: Ok it looks like one guy sorta did.

RIYL = Recommended If You Like...

Sorry I probably shoulda spelled that out.

But yeah I was hoping people would quote a recommendation, add their own, & then go back to comment on the quoted recommendation after checking it out.

Hopefully Chris will put it out sometime. I'm going to ask him about it at the show.

Square of Op. dude? Thats cool, I'm still shocked that they're taking a break, breaking up or whatever. Seemed like they were finally getting a little bit of steam behind them. I haven't seen any announcements about it. So, I'm hoping you're a filthy liar.
