My new music folder has gotten out of hand. I should have done the work necessary to make the music in it not in said folder anymore before I took a bunch of random last.fm recommendations and had a downloading spree because of it... but, alas, I didn't. This means I have 3x as much work to do when the time comes.
So, this is a month and a half of recently-excessive downloading. I'm going to try to do the unusual thing and delete useless things as I come across them.
Let's do this via date, starting with the oldest stuff. It will almost look random.
[Start: 66.1GB free space]
Fukkk Offf
dance/electronic, repetitive, nobody that follows my blog gives a fuck which is a shame because it often moves exactly like stoner rock. also a shame that all of these "bands" have lyrics that boil down to being a lushy slut. maybe i should write the first dance song that's about respecting your body and being good at math. anyway, this is okay. not great, just okay.
Veracrash
sounds like a less attention whore version of Queens of the Stone Age. seriously, it's like a re-written Lullabies.
S:T Erik
crappy name. doom with some psych nonsense. ok.
Finchley Boys
i didn't know that Clutch song was a cover. deleting.
Whitey
too awesome.
Hot Chip
started to sound better but all the same. meh.
Gomer Pyle
liked the album cover. ?
Ok Go
:(
King Crimson
some...remastering? i guess i forgot i didn't care. delete.
ASIWYFA
sounds better each time i listen. well, the first two songs.
The MassaCrista
don't like the "southern rock" sound. "Showdown" sounds like i've heard it before by some other band. i wonder if this band knows the tracks are in alphabetical order. ... (other album now) and this just sounds bad. meh, kind of reluctant but my collection has enough in it that i'm probably not going to listen to, so, delete.
Sleep (live ATP)
kind of a crappy recording, sounds like it's behind the audience. and fuck this audience, why the hell would you be whistling during sleep? calm your ass down, moron. deleting because i'm not going to listen to it again.
Rob Zombie
couple of okay songs.
Lions - V1
strange how i'm going to keep this versus that other band up there, but yeah... Lions has good moments, especially if you ignore the vocals.
OvO
keeping because they made me laugh.
Moses
better than their unsearchable, irritating name.
Buzzoven - HB
terrible, awful, just plain fucking shitty recording. bye now.
Cosmotron
pretty good, one of the rare actual 'stoner' bands.
Deadeyejack
hardcorey sludge. s'pose there's some okay moments in here, but overall not really my thing. i'll "pending" it.
Mountain of Judgement
apparently this judgment isn't centered on spelling. more psych doom. bored, deleting.
Threefold Law
Nothing new or interesting about this, which is ironic because this came out in 2009.
Isabelle's Gift
sounds its age.
Lethe
KYUSS! or not.
Union of Sleep
doom/sludge. sounds alright.
Purple Mercy
i was expecting psych. this is a hc whine-a-thon.
Sasquatch
one of these songs sounded really good the other day, though for the most part i'm not impressed.
Delvic
ah, first clear sounding album of the bunch. kind of noise/retarded.
1000mods
heard all but the one song before.
Ihsahn
downloaded because i used to know someone who loved them. kind of sounds like a cross between opeth and converge, and maybe a little meshuggah... how can i really be surprised?
The Ghost Is Clear Records comp
lots of the same crap.
Blackwaves
three thumbs and a pickle up.
What?
i think i got this from a random blog i found something else on. no!
Shadow of the Torturer
bad recording. you know, just because you rip the album at 320 doesn't mean it sounds good, people. oh, heh! this is the one that made me crack up because "i think... i'll take... A WALK."
Immolation
i'm sure if i gave this time it'd sink in, and then we'd get more death metal posts here. just what we've always wanted.
White Hills
good.
Nether Regions
took these from their facebook. looking forward to album-having.
The Knife
weird as usual, but i don't know about the operatic stuff.
Witch Mountain
couple of demo songs i took from the net. both good.
Melvins
some remixes and a song i've had for years. don't need, bye.
Black Sabbath
1969 demo. sounds awful.
Dragontears
psych in the vein of hawkwind/magnet and then some crybaby drug abused nonsense at the end. like.
Early Man
self titled. really good.
Out Hud
recommended to me because of the other retarded electronic bands i've listened to in the past. sounds a little like !!! at times, but...maybe less inspired?
Mendozza
two covers = 10 minutes you could have written something original. not as good as i wanted it to be.
Pontiak
one of the albums i didn't get last year. moves kind of oddly, not sure about it yet, but i do remember listening to one or two of these and being okay with it in the recent past.
Buried At Sea
horror movie soundtrack.
Pharoah Overlord
Pink Floyd + Kyuss.
Dangers
stupid random downloads. die.
Celan
i think i could actually sit and listen to this, even though it's committing various offenses. vocalist kind of sounds like the guy in Black Elk.
Temples
took forever to find thanks to their bullshit name. doom?
more Buzzoven
yeah, that's just what i needed, another sample.
Coalesce
someone said they sounded like Mastodon should. fucking lied, is what you did, sir.
Maybeshewill
post-metal/rock. meh.
Graves At Sea
sounded as expected.
Glasspack
i went looking for this years ago and never found it. now that i have it, i'm not sure i want it. first song's still pretty good.
Wizards of Kaos
so far the only winner is "The River".
Mountain Goat
doom. maybe it's a requirement that if you have the word "mountain" in your name you have to be doom. poor black mountain's gonna get kicked out. :( also, i see nothing about animals as being "doom".
Morkobot
hyper post-rock/noise, ASIWYFA+Boris. it looks like i didn't finish this download... stupid soulseek. ... oh, looks like i did finish it elsewhere. ahh. saved from the evil soulseek monster.
Narrows
WE'RE ANGRY. WE'RE GONNA KICK YOUR DOG. THEN WE'RE GONNA STOMP ON YOUR GRASS. YEEEEAAAHHHH...MIDDLE CLASS REVOLT! *headbang mosh* ... sounds good.
Orange Sunshine
old new-old newer than newly older new-old? passing filters, anyway.
Blood Ceremony
got me with the first song. ew gross with the "wizardry" song. sounds/looks like they're trying to make fun of black sabbath somehow. Danava.
Karysun
instantly good. songs all sound the same after a bit.
La Otracina
i dunno. not interesting.
and this is where my downloading got really wacky. I will need to take a break and make a part two. Thus far have sorted ~5GBs.
[Mid-way: 67.8GBs]
