hi guys, luke here because term is gay LOL

AN ALBUM A DAY IN FEBRUARY, WITH MG

this is perfect
now i can assign you all metal as homework

If anyone's looking for some ideas, here are some recommendations from your buddy Term:

[Casualties of Cool - Casualties of Cool] Quiet, folky/country rock. Some ambiance, dark atmosphere
[Royksopp - Melody AM] Downtempo, electronic, passive
[Agent Fresco - A Long Time Listening] Progressive rock, weirdass time signatures/changes, great melodies, Iceland
[Nahko & Medicine for the People - Dark as Night] Folk, hippie s***, beautiful
[Art By Numbers - Reticence: The Musical] Progressive rock/metal, great melodies, "just stick that anywhere" songwriting
[Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient] Progressive metal, heavy s***, space alien takes over earth or something, funny, sequel soon, one of my favorite albums

I'm a little short of 30, so I'll be taking some recommendations myself. Can't make any promises about how many I'll add, though.

I'll be doing this
sounds really fun

i would like y'all to try The Wood Brothers, good folk/bluesy band, and i doubt mg listens to much music like that

Neat! What kind of albums will you be adding?

HEY DUDES FIRST ONE DONE


if in need of recs, ask me

Damn son. Between Portal of I, Hospice, Infinity, The Shaming of the True, The Dark Third, The Butcher's Ballroom, Synchestra and A Long Time Listening, you're in for some good s***

going deep in my collection and brining out some old stuff to relisten to
trying to throw in some variation between the albums
and some new albums I haven't listened to yet maybe

lots of stuff here i needed to give a listen

:D

not as much variation as i wanted but i want to babble about my s*** taste

some of these are my fav albums ever and some of these I've never listened so woo november

YES i am so excited for this

i'm definitely doing it, i'm gonna try (try!) to do an album a day for the whole month. i've got quite a few albums in my backlog that i've been meaning to get around to, i'll put some of them in a calendar and post it a little later

some of luke's recommended albums for november:
Daedelus - Invention (lofi idm, downtempo, beat music. very comfy and warm. equal to being wrapped up in a big fuzzy blanket on a cold night)
Massive Attack - Mezzanine (trip hop. dark, sexy and atmospheric)
cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD (logan's described this album as "the beastie boys reciting abstract poetry over droney boards of canada instrumentals" and i think that's pretty astute. it's a long album and it's a bit hard to listen to but it's probably my favorite hip hop album of all time)
also any albums by The Books are highly recommended.

i'm probably gonna try to include a few albums recommended by others as well in mine.


those are the ones you're gonna do this month? cool, aesop rock's skelethon is quite nice, as well as capt. murphy's duality. girlfriends self titled is fun as hell and some of the others i recognize are cool as well



you're in for a treat with a few of those, but some might be disappointing. i'm not saying which ones but yeah ; )

edit: here's what i have so far



i'll put in a few more once i have all of the albums on my backlog better organized and more people post recommendations. i still have a whole month to add more, those 5 are just ones i'm pretty much definitely sure i wanna listen to.

my recommendations
in legend metal w/ piano instead of a guitar. describing metal is hard idk piano

the golden era mixtapes or anything under golden era records (aussie hip hop)
http://thesisthemc.bandcamp.com/album/lee-krasner hip hop inspired by classic hip hop & underground stuff

woodblue . downtempo kinda spacey feeling
yasushi yoshida really pretty stuff, 'modern classical'
kenichiro nishihara jazzy stuff, sometimes with vocals by guests

* Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed And Deep In Conversation

halfway there

recs:
Say Anything - Is A Real Boy
fun little pop punk/alt rock record. despite being a pop punk record, each track is pretty distinct and is usually longer than 3 minutes. the linked song is a prime example.
max bemis' vocal performance is magnificent. he would go on to have a nervous breakdown after releasing this album and then make a bunch of okay to bad albums

Fightstar - Grand Unification
post hardcore concept album, heavily influenced by Neon Genenesis Evangelion.
one of my personal favourites, even if it may not be some critically acclaimed, genre defining album. lot of fun tunes. the longest track, Mono, displays some post-rock influences.
solid musicianship all around, with every instrument having some memorable parts (the bass on Grand Unification pt.1, and the drumming on Lost Like Tears In Rain, for example)

there's a bunch more i could recommend atm but it's 2am and im a little tired. Is A Real Boy is one i've been listening to a bunch recently and Grand Unification is the album that's been in my library the longest (probably) so they're the first ones i thought of
i could probably give better descriptions but whatever i got my point across

Big fan of Frances the Mute. Really cool album.
