The Music Cult

[Nybarius]

FTP is short for "file transfer protocol". Basically, it is a way of moving files from one place to another. Unlike Bittorrent and other new-fangled protocols, it is a client-server system; files are uploaded to a central housing system, the 'server', and from there are made available to 'clients' which connect.

An anonymous stranger was kind enough to donate an anonymous FTP-server to the Music-loving NF denizens. Anonymous FTP just means that you log in anonymously--and you know what that means.

To access this service, you will need an FTP client, a couple popular ones are Smart FTP (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.smartftp.com/&ei=VebzQvOyMM7oaPH1sYsO), BulletProof FTP (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.bpftp.com/&ei=bebzQp-QI8uaafiNjJsO), and CuteFTP (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.cuteftp.com/&ei=iebzQuqwF87oaPH1sYsO); and for FireFox users, here's a nifty FTP extension: http://fireftp.mozdev.org/

If you're used to Windows, SmartFTP is recommended; here's a link to its help-file: http://www.smartftp.com/support/howto/

FTP Server #1 (Currently Active):
The address is: ftp.jamesphineasmccaffrey.com

Rules:
No rules, but remember, it's good to give :)

Support:
Please contact Nybarius, either through PM, the boards, or at Nybarius AT gmail DOT com if you have any problems, questions, or suggestions. Thanks!

PS: Yay, finally I'll have a popular post ;)

PPS: Keep in mind that nobody's paying me to do this, or anything; I was just thought the music-cult needed a place to back up their files. All thanks (be they reps, ups, or money) are heartily appreciated!

[Erkekjetter]

Good job mate. Rep for you.

[mow]

And this here is the new Cult Thread (all thanks to :jkoe)



YSI (www.yousendit.com)
Megaupload (www.megaupload.com)
Spred It (www.spread-it.com)
Rapidshare (http://rapidshare.de/)

When you upload using one of those sites be sure to:

1) Change the name of the file into anything aside from the band name - album name; band name; album name format.

2)When you pm, remove the http//: from the link, that way they wont know it was linked by anyone and wont be blocked quickly.

This is the new Cult thread?! What's gonna happen to the other one? Will it die? lol

I'll just close and recycle it (that way, no posts will be lost)

Nyb; I gave myself the libertiy of changing the title of the thread, hope you dont mind =]

[Nybarius]

No problemo. I just added a bunch more space & bandwidth, by the way, so anybody who was experiencing problems, they should all be fixed quite shortly.

[Kucheeky Badkuya]

Another upload place,

Rapidshare ( http://rapidshare.de/)

[Nybarius]

Well, in some countries of the world, Intellectual Property Laws (mostly set down during the 19th and early 20th century, when they were designed to protect sheet-music vendors) imprison music which wants to fly free.

[Erkekjetter]

...so, the man's trying to keep us down! Fight The Man!

[Nybarius]

Basically, you've gotta fight to your right to brock out. By the way, it's mean to say "rep for you" and then withhold reps -- tapped out, perhaps? S'all good, spread it around :)

I wonder who uploaded that Live Kraftwerk set-- that's some rare stuff.

[mow]

Yes, it's finally working

The Complete Blue Recoding By Thelnious Monk & Afro Blue Impressions By John Coltrane are quite hard to find, and I got my bought mine 3 years ago (best $55.98, $21.98 I've ever spent in my life).Real gems and any jazz fan will love them.


I wonder who uploaded that Live Kraftwerk set-- that's some rare stuff.

Whaaaaaaa?

I love whoever did that.

[Nybarius]

See, I called in my underground tekno massif friends to help us all out with some live sets -- check out the Ben Sims, Adam Bayer, Marco Carolo, etc. etc.: time to learn about the techno realness, peeps :)

[mow]

YES

I just found my Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins & Sonny Stitt - Sonny Side Up cd! oh you guys have to listen to this, late 50's be-bop at it's finest.

[Nybarius]

Up there with Saxophone Collossus? ;) I have a rather -- erratic knowledge of the jazz. Perhaps you can educate me.

[mow]

Haha :hi5. It's up there :amuse

It's good to meet someone who knows Rollins =]. Whose your fav tenor sax player; Rollins or Coltrane?

[Nybarius]

Rollins is pretty essential, I'd think. Hmm -- Boots Randolph, did he play tenor sax? In any case, the answer is definitely COLTRANE for me. Just brilliant; too bad about the drugs. But maybe you can change my mind.

[mow]

I think boots did play tenor sax, not sure though

In regards to Coltrane Vs. Rollins; I'd probabily pick Rollins (with a very slight edge).

Coltrane (during '56) was still with the Miles Davis Qunitet, be he still wasnt the great player he'd later be. His skills and technique at that time still didnt manage to release up to the wild, remarkable talent and ideas he had stored in his mind. When he joined the Thelnious Monk quartet, then the change came a and he was able to hold his own against Rollins.

Coltrane has more jazz classics under his book, but none of his records is as remarkably consistant as Saxophone Colossus (though Giant Steps does give Rollins a run for his money). Rollins technique and playing is just mindblowing. Very imaginative, speed wise superhuman and exptionally unpredictable clarity and flare makes him the best tenor saxphonist.

But that doesnt change the fact that both men are Gods :cool.

Sigh, I need more Sonny Rollins.

[Efraim Longstocking]

yeh yeh! I need more Jazz edu too... What's the main differences between Alt-sax and Tenor sax anyway?

[Nybarius]

Yeah, you know what, I'm going to change my answer to "I'M NOT WORTHY!"

Giant Steps vs Saxophone Collossus? Don't go there. Both are of a class to start, or stop, wars.

By the way: wasn't Lester Young a tenor man? I know many fans of more hot jazz front, but he co-created the COOL.

[mow]

yeh yeh! I need more Jazz edu too... What's the main differences between Alt-sax and Tenor sax anyway?

oh you'll get your jazz mate. I wont upload anything for the next week aside from jazz =]

Some of the differences between alt-sax and tenor-sax are
1) Size. Alt sax is the 4th in the sax family, while the tenor is the 5th ( the sax family from smallest to largest is : soprillo, sopranino, soprano, alto, tenor, baritone, bass, contrabass and subcontrabass)

2) Sound. Tenor sax tends to have a richer, more powerful sound. (Ofcourse that changes depending on the player, but its somewhat a fact)

3) Keys & Read. An alto sax reads in the key of E flat, and the range is from (not sure about this) D flat to 4 octaves aboe that. While Tenor sax reads usually at B-flat. I dont know its range ,though itr's definaitly different from the alt

Yeah, you know what, I'm going to change my answer to "I'M NOT WORTHY!"

Giant Steps vs Saxophone Collossus? Don't go there. Both are of a class to start, or stop, wars.

By the way: wasn't Lester Young a tenor man? I know many fans of more hot jazz front, but he co-created the COOL.

Lol, so very true. I love talking Jazz. I used to chit chat for endless hours with my dad about jazz. Good times :amuse.

EDIT: Lester (The Prez!) was indeed a tenor man.

I should upload Miles Davs- Birth Of the Cool

[Nybarius]

I wish I came from a musically inclined family :-( I was actively discouraged from taking up musical pursuits in my youth. Perhaps that's why, as I blossomed, I became such a ravening beat-junkie.

[mow]

I wish I picked up an instrument when I was young. My dad was a music manic and all I heard as a kid was jazz and 60's rock/woodstock generation stuff, but I never picked up a instrument till late when I was 18. Now all I can do is write lyrics and smack my head on desk when I cant bring what I have in my head as music >_<

[Nybarius]

Oh god, same here. It's the same with foreign languages. I learned a lot in my youth--which continues still--, but not as much as I would have in a strict 19th century Edwardian household. My first instrument of choice is piano, and I'd like to learn to play by ear. Then drums, then sax -- t'is my fantasy.

[mow]

lol, same here. To able to play Naima on sax? Wow, that would be divine.

[Nybarius]

I'm a very talented MC -- been doing it for years -- & I remember having lunchroom battles with this kid who was a jazz-drummer. He would tap out classic beat after classic beat on the table, WHILE freestyling to'em. Hehe, imagine being able to do that WHILE playing the loop to "Ressurrection" on the synth. . .

[mow]

Jesus, that is amazing.

It's funny though when it comes to jazz. I recall a discussion I had with forkshy about it, and he was telling me how us jazz fans (that includes him) were music elitist of the first degree. when you discusss rock for example, everyone know the king, everyone knows the beatles, the who, Pink floyd etc everyone has similiar grounds to talk about it. But when it comes to jazz, people are always either:-

1) Extreme jazz fanatics that almost drive everyone away from the discussion
2) Only know Miles Davis.

Check this thread and tell me your thoughs: Why is Jazz automatically assiociated with Miles & Coltrane? (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=29247)

[Nybarius]

I think the reason is marketing ability and staying power. Miles Davis, though he kept his back to the audience, was a CHARACTER, and managed to insert himself into generation after generation's mind as an iconic figure. Also, he switched up his ensemble quite a bit, thus causing there to be several generations of musicians who pointed their fingers up at him as their inspiration.

Jazz is highly elitist, but it's also capable of being grasped by most everybody. I think that the free-form nature of good jazz, which is always shying away from being pinned down to any set pattern or structure, keeps the masses from appreciating it. Compare some interpretations of jazz standards to the standard 3-minute, verse chorus verse chorus bridge &c radio format; they're Miles apart.

I'd add Louis Armstrong to the list, by the way, especially with the recent release of the Complete Hot 5's and Hot 7's. Also, I know it's not pure jazz, but let's not forget George Gershwin, whom everybody knows.

[mow]

ohhhh.

Please tell me you have George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue?

[Nybarius]

Hehe, yep, but feel free to initiate those who aren't so lucky.

Have you heard Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Gershwin Songbook, perchance?

PS: Whatever happened to forkshy?

[mow]

Oh, Im going to make an entire thread dedicated to Gershwin and higlight his carrer.

Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Gershwin Songbook is in my wishlist :(.

Forky is still around, though not as active as he used to be.

[Nybarius]

Somebody just might grant that wish ;) Man, I need to organize my CDs . . . box-sets are so irritating.

[Meijin]

I'm going to be uploading tons of Salsa. So watch your PM's :amuse

[Nybarius]

So, any Leadbelly fans up in here?

EDIT:

Just dumped about 8 albums on the FTP. I'm done for tonight. Moe: Check out the Ornette Coleman. Any metal fans: Check out "I Came to this Planet Just to Flex".

[Erkekjetter]

Uploading rEVOLVEr to the ftp right now. Or, trying to at least.

[mow]

Guys, be sure to check out the Thelnious Monk record I upped. Sweet, sweet jazz.

[Voynich]

Hey guys.. I''ll be uploading more stuff laters. Right now I have to get ready for my date XD *grins* Dress to kill....eventhough I don''t even want the guy ;p

So...are you dressed, for killing?

Every woman who has told me the 'you're not my type' line has ended up dead one way or another. Perhaps someday some law enforcement agency will find a way to explain this bizarre phenomena. Anyway, I'm going to upload some Mono now.

Awww.. I'd never say that to ya ;p But come on...the guy didn't even like metal. He called it "newfashioned noisecrap". He knew none of the bands on my ipod....too be honest he didn't listen to anything made after 1980. And he's fucking 17...:O Just plain boring...cause I kept wishing he turned into someone fun with at least the same taste of music and the same sense of humour >.<

[cloin]

Ah, I can't really dig girls with poor musical taste, so I can see where you are coming from on that.

[Voynich]

Yesh...He was so boring I would have even settled for him to turn into an emo guy. But he just stayed plain old boring Gregory :(

[Meijin]

So, anyone listen to the SALSA! yet?

[explicitkarma]

Ok, break time is over. I gotta get back to downloading and uploading. For awhile I just got overloaded from all the music. I still haven't listened to it all yet, but i'm getting there.

I tried uploading something to the server a few days ago but it crashed on me before it got to finish. But expect a John Hiatt compilation and some J Mascis.

[Nybarius]

explicit: Server problems should be fixed, if not please don't hesitate to inform :) By the by, check out all the stuff I uploaded last night; something for every taste!

[Efraim Longstocking]

Guys, be sure to check out the Thelnious Monk record I upped. Sweet, sweet jazz.


I listened to it it once but I don't have it on this computer. Since I finally got my own comp back

[Nybarius]

Say Moe, make sure to tell me what you think about the Coleman I uploaded -- was a bit of a pain to find, rip, & up it all, so I'd like some feedback when you get to it :)

[pnoypridz]

http://www.hiphopgame.com/index2.php3?page=tracks

listen to the kanye west poem its so nice

[mow]

Nyb Nyb Nyb.

I adore you and this record. This is remarkable. The tenor sound is so lush and ...out there. It's insane to see how Corentt so far ahead of his time. Such energy and simply radical. the entire band is one briliant cohesive entity.

Jumping from Disk 1 to Disk 5 really shows how dynamic and evolved Orentte's style turned during the period, espically in the harmodelic principle and just breath taking to see how Orentte's incorpated and blended many new concepts.

I'm definiatly going to save up and by this complete set. Simply brilliant.

EDIT: Oh and Im uploading Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones. Be sure to check it out everyone. I'll up Alice and Rain Dogs soon after that.

[Nybarius]

Hehe, wow, to think that I'd find somebody who truly appreciated Ornette Coleman on Narutofan, of all places :) I'm pickled tink that you like-e. This music cult thang makes me so happy.

[mow]

Thank you so much mate. It was trully a pleasure listening to this. Everty track is just :amazed. From the wicked fast drum work on The Monk and Nun to the silky smooth Just For You. Freaking amazing.

[Nybarius]

(re: Moe upping Swordfishtrombones). Haha, beat me to it. I upped Bone Machine earlier. My theory on "Bone Machine," by the way, is that it's all about CARS. The Bone Machine IS the car.

Such a scream? A song about a car. "And drag that chain, across the state. . ." In the coliseum is a song about traffic fatalities, used as a metaphor for lives in collision . . . I could go on and on. Huge Tom Waits fan, here, since I was -- damn, like, 9 or 11. I have every word to every song of his committed to memory, for one . . .

If you'd like to hear my run-down on Frank and his wild years (as told in different eras & different perspectives in the Frank triad of albums, Swordfishtrombones, Frank's Wild Years, and Rain Dogs), just insert a quarter.

[mow]

This I gotta hear :P *inserts quarter*

EDIT: and oh my god, who uped Coltrane's Stellar Regions? I love you.

[Erkekjetter]

Nybarius, I'm having trouble uploading to the server. It just says Awaiting Command, and stops there.

[Nybarius]

Okay, let's see -- this is a long-winded theory, so I'll parcel it out in bits and pieces. Throughout his "Asylum Years," Tom Waits experimented with balladeering, however, I think what he really liked doing was getting inside the head of genuine American characters he met and elaborated on; the regulars at Sal's pizza joint, the local color that is all too often bleached out by the time we get to it. However, in this period, his characters were always self-contained; that is, they were only limited in how much they symbolized: they were individuals, rather than parts of a whole.

With Swordfishtrombones, he finally found his direction and started singing in the Howlin' Wolf rusty nails growl that would become his trademark, and with this stylistic shift came a substantive one as well. Whereas before he had reflected on the depths of individual loneliness (Jersey Girl, Ice Cream Man) or else assembled a West Side Story-like cast of characters to seek out the dark and forgotten paths of society (Nighthawks at the Diner), by Swordfishtrombones he was ready to allow his misfits to form a city, and so represent entire generations; a movement as compared to an individual's or clique's inspirations.

"Underground," the first song on the album, is the perfect theme-song for this shift, as it identifies just where Mr. Waits will be gazing in the albums to come. (I see "Frank's Wild Years," "Raindogs," and "Swordfishtrombones" as part of one cohesive whole; I think that "Bone Machine" is a separate entity.)

Songs like "Shore Leave" and the title track weave a narrative around a character--Frank, the 'every other man,' although he often goes unnamed--who is just past his best days. Through stories of coming back from a war, or else being on shore leave, Waits evokes a displaced attitude similar to that expressed by the modern writers of the 30s; following along his raspy voice, those of us who feel somewhat alienated from our lives soon learn to identify with the (often abstract) allusions he makes to Frank's trials and tribulations.

Basically, this is the story: a completely average man goes out into the world, and there finds experience, and now he is in the difficult position of being unable to communicate the depths of this experience with anybody who hasn't lived a similar life. Although he is unable to communicate all that he has seen, though, there is enough in it to set him apart from the common people, and thus cast him adrift: adrift like the "rain dogs". He has already dared, and tasted "temptation," he knows he's past his peak, but "that feel" is still strong within him.

Now, let's bring it back to Tom Waits himself: besides creating a very identifiable icon in Frank, the every mensch, I think that he is projecting himself through his music, since he has ultimately decided that music is the only way to truly convey all the flavor he has seen to the next generation. Music from Waits from this period is always intrinsically sad, though, because it hints at a once-great world which is fading -- or perhaps just a man, growing into himself.

If you think that I am suggesting that the Frank saga is more than a little autobiographical, you're right on the money. . .

okay, more later. This is a LONG theory.

[mow]

(I see "Frank's Wild Years," "Raindogs," and "Swordfishtrombones" as part of one cohesive whole; I think that "Bone Machine" is a separate entity.)

Precisly! Those 3 records primarily captured Waits at a specific stage in his music career and combined, reflect it best. Bone Machine forcasted an entire new direction for the man.

Mate; that was glorious read. A very well though out indepth look. I loved it =]

My little rant about Tom Waits; and Rain Dogs (http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=44699)

[Nybarius]

Man, the thing is, that's less than 1% of the theory. I don't know if I have the mental stamina to type it all out. I like to write in long bursts, as you can see -- woe betide those who get in flamewars with me, hehe.

And: reading! EDIT: Replied with a lil' Tom Waits story from me youth :)

Now, here's a crucial part of my theory: in Swordfishtrombones, Tom Waits tends to take a 2nd person perspective. He is just a bit distant from the characters he speaks of; this is in the vocabulary of traditional folk lyricism (but with junkyard orchestration).

In Frank's Wild Years, he takes on the first person, and discovers his knack for getting into characters. Then, like a cocooned worm blossoming into a butterfly, he expresses whole civilizations (underground) in Rain Dogs, which I think is the summit of this three-album effort.

(I know I'm shifting around chronological order, but I believe that the idea for these three albums came to Waits more or less all at once.)

By way of comparison with novelistic degrees of distance, Frank's Wild Years is told from the first person, Swordfishtrombones is told in second person, and Rain Dogs has an omniscient narrator. A comparison of Tom Waits to literary figures is usually very elucidating, since he is among the most literary of lyricists -- in an age where lyricism is all but dead -- and so I might as well go all out: let's try James Joyce. Swordfishtrombones was "The Dubliners," Frank's Wild Years was "The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," while Rain Dogs, of course, is "Ulysses". (Of course, this makes "Bone Machine" and anything else more abstract verges into Finnegan's Wake territory.)
BTW: I can upload fine -- check your PM's for help, bud.

Anyone interested in The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Impressions of Japan?

[Nybarius]

If it's music and it's dope, you can just assume the answer is "yes" :) . I'm mirroring the FTP on a local HD, by the way, so that I can serve up anything anybody requests if it falls offline.

Ambient fans rejoice, No Funeral - S/T and Histoire - Architecture on the way today.

Due to the changing of the new thread i didn't knew who wanted Medulla from Bjork....

I'll be taking a sabbatical to go check out the Shambala music festival in Spokane, soon -- any requests before I go?

[Voynich]

Not really I guess. But expect loads of VSnares on the ftp when you're back XD I kinda let my bf upload some. (which will end up with him putting all 30 albums on there -_-;; )

[Nybarius]

Back with the ex, eh? It's all permitted so long as it enhances the glory of the ftp :)

[Voynich]

lol. I'm going to be upping The Audio Injection by Mnemic. This album is awesome. And two of the tracks are recorded specially for listening with headphones. When the songs are listened to through headphones it will.......Ah hell, I'll just tell you what it says on the CD:



"the AM3D positional headphone technology presents a way of improving the sound experience. Using binaural techniques the sound is processed to localize a single sound to a specific location in three dimension space around the listener"

[cloin]

The Audio Injected Soul is pretty damn great.

[Erkekjetter]

Yeah. I just bought it yesterday. I love the album art too. And the art on the CD itself. \m/

o.O

Okay, Nyp needs some dried frog pills (major points to the person who knows where I am referencing that from.)

If I can get myself around to jumping onto the FTP, I will begin with Shpongle, XTC, Leftover Crack and Choking Victim.

[Nybarius]

wow, Shpongle -- haha, entheogen head, I see?

[Catatonik]

I like the Shpongle

It....suits my mindset on certain days of the month...week...yeah.

Shpongle is good :D

woo, I'm back from my holidays. And we have an FTP now, cool stuff :)

how much can I upload? Cause I still have this 4 gb MF DOOM folder..

Because I think of this song all the time while checking my rep . . . GANGSTARR - Just To Get A Rep (Remix)
Album : Full Clip (1999) Disc 1




Stick up kids is out to tax
Stick up kids is out to tax
And this is how the story goes
Brothers are amused by others brother's reps
But the thing they know best is where the gun is kept
'Cause in the night, you'll feel fright
And at the sight of a 4-5th, I guess you just might
Wanna do a dance or two
'Cause they could maybe bust you for self or wit a crew
No matter is you or your brother's a star
He could pop you in check without a getaway car
And some might say that he's a dummy
But sticking you and taking all of your money
It's a daily operation
He might be loose in the park or lurking at the train station
Mad brothers know his name
So he thinks he got a little fame
From the stick-up game
And while we're blaming society
He's at a party with his man
They got their eye on the gold chain
That the next man's wearing
It looks big but they ain't staring
Just thinking of a way and when to get the brother
They'll be long gone before the kid recovers
And back around the way, he'll have the chain on his neck
Claimin' respect, Just to get a rep
Ten brothers in a circle
Had the kid trapped, the one wit the hood, he said, "We'll hurt you"
If you don't run out your dues and pay
Give up the Rolex watch or you won't see another day
See, they were on the attack
And one said, "Yo, you wanna make this to a homicide rap?
Make it fast so we can be on our way
Kick in the rings and everything, ok?"
The kid was nervous and flinching
And little shorty with the 3-8, yo, he was inchin
Closer and closer, put the gun to his head
Shorty was down to catch a body instead
Money was scared so he panicked
Took off his link and his rings and ran frantic
But shorty said, "Now" pulled the trigger and stepped
It was nothing, he did it just to get a rep
The rep grows bigger, now he's known for his trigger finger
Rolling with troops of his sons like a gansta figure
He's near the peak of his crazy career
His posse's a nightmare, mack and jewels and crazy gear
But as we know, the things we do come back
And Shorty's not peeping, others are scheming to counteract
'Cause the kid that got shot didn't perish, so
He pulls up in a jeep with tinted windows
Too late, Shorty was caught in the midst
His time ran out, his number came up, and that's it
You know the rest, so don't front, the plan has been upset
Some brothers gotta go out just to get a rep

EDIT:


By the way, anybody listened to any of the techno mixes / sets up on the FTP yet? (Adam Bayer, Misstress Barbara (the extra 's' is part of her name), Adam Freeland, JEff Mills, etc . . .) Check'em out, expand your horizons, people!!

EDIT #2: Need help with a track ID, it is commonly played on the radio during summertime, it's dancehall / ragga (but not the electronic sort), a toastin' sort of track, and has a chorus that sounds to me like, "Kingstonnn, chillin' on the low / A bwosy boy step and then he see my nine blow."

By the by, here's a must-hear track for all you sample hounds: Sister Nancy, "Bam Bam". Get it from the FTP and then RASPECK ME!

It cannnot be that you all have ran out of ammo If this is it Then maybe I will start upload something... How about:

Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane - Temporal Analogues of Paradise
Die Krupps - A Tribute to Metallica
Fantômas - All albums

[cloin]

I must have the Jonas Hellborg. I have some of his other albums if you don't have them and would like to.

[Efraim Longstocking]

this is the only thing I've got with him. I upload it for ya on the ftp.

[Nybarius]

I'm baaaaaaaaack! Had me a nice lil' vacation in BC, big music festival -- tons of fun! Even got a tan (and not a monitor tan, either). To those who kept uploading in my absence: thanks a ton! Keep checking the FTP in the coming weeks, got some shtuff comin' up

[cloin]

I haven't uploaded anything in a while. In my opinion, this has become more of an opportunity to show off one's music collection rather than share and enjoy music as a community. Just one man's opinion...

[Voynich]

Hmm..I'm baffled and shocked. While I was listening to Nevermore, my nan drops in and says " What is this kind of music? Not that loud noise you usually listen eh? I LIKE THIS"

Repeat: My nan said she likes Nevermore. My nan is more metal than me =.=

[Catatonik]

Hahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahaha ha @ Maho

On a seperate note, I agree with the colin.

It feels like a dick size competition

Not too mention, there's such an glut of similiar musics it's hard to absorb what's sent.

[Nybarius]

Alright, you two, any suggestions on how to alleviate the situation? Personally, I have no problem with people flexing and showing off how big theirs is, so long as it means more music on my HD.

[Catatonik]

I'm not sure, slow it down and have people actually respond to what they recieve would be a good start.

As I recall that was the initial plan before things went AWOL

[Voynich]

Yeah cause well on the ftp it's kinda a guess what to dll. Some stuff suddenly shows up there and I have no idea what it is, who uploaded it and if I''m gonna like it. I can''t manage to dll everything on there so I'd really like some more explanation with the music being put up there.

[Nybarius]

Okay, I hear that.

How about we start including textfiles with our uploads, that sorta describe what we u/l and who might be into it?

[Catatonik]

Only if the file can be read BEFORE you download it :)

[Sid]

why not just post in this thread when you upload something?

quick descprition of the artist / link to allmusic.com or something like that.

[Nybarius]

Sounds good -- also, I will attempt to write up a textfile within the week of the stuff that's already up there.

Somebody (;)) uploaded Raekwon's classic album, "Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx," apparently spurred on by a couple friends he met recently who revealed they had never heard any of the original wu-solo albums, which are all dope in their own way. Check it out to hear smooth flows containing Kool Keith level slang ripping up classic (CLASSIC, perhaps THE MOST CLASSIC) Rza beats.

EDIT #2: Uploading -- The Beatles, Last Concert (San Fran, 29.08.66)

[Konata Izumi]

EDIT #2: Uploading -- The Beatles, Last Concert (San Fran, 29.08.66)

Looking forward to it. :D

[Nybarius]

Beatles is up, next on the list: Sister Nancy, One Two

She's the dancehall QUEEN. Earlier I uploaded the track "Bam Bam," which has been sampled ad infintum. Check out this album, it's straight irie.

Next in queue: We're All Mad in Here, a Conversation with Tom Waits -- 30 newish Tom Waits tracks.

Later to come: HOUSE!

[BlueCheese]

I know I'm late, but can I join. Not sure of everything exactly but it seems like a pretty cool idea.

[Nybarius]

Moe is on hiatus, but Nybarius says sure -- to love music is to join the music cult! Make sure to stop by the FTP, ya hear?

[BlueCheese]

Yeah man I will do, may upload some stuff later

[eXdreamer]

Hey, I'd like to join, I have about 40 Aphex Twin albums I can upload and hey I already uploaded quite a few VSnares and I'm willing to upload there newest one.

[Nybarius]

eXdreamer, welcome to the club! Pleased to Greetchya! and get busy with that Aphex Twin my main man! :)

[eXdreamer]

Oki doki, first up, Venetian Snares - Meathole [ziq099cd], next on request, Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy

[Voynich]

Fuck yesh. New VSnares <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

I'll be over here fangirling. *Squeeeeeeeeeeeee!*

XD [/retard mode]

[Nybarius]

Solid -- make sure to PM me if you experience any problems at all with the server!

[eXdreamer]

My only problem at the moment is lack of tidyness but that's just me..lol Just request anything you want uploaded, I'll find it then upload.

[Voynich]

I told them a million times to name their stuff properly. Not like they listen to me. No one does >.<

[Nybarius]

You realize that anybody can change names on there, right? Look, I set up the server, help me out a bit here, people. If something is mislabelled: FIX IT! :P

[Voynich]

I don't know half the stuff that is on it. If there is just a band name..how the hell am i supposed to know what album it is? xD

[Nybarius]

Listen to one track, google the first line you hear along with the band-name, and post the result.

[Voynich]

That means I gotta dll all that stuff first. Google I beg for your cooperation in finding album names on pure luck xd

[Nybarius]

There are worse fates than discovering free unlabelled music that somebody took the time to upload for you because they thought the world would enjoy it.

[Efraim Longstocking]

Hi folks^^.. I realized I haven't posted in the music cult for a very long time... Well, I've had alot to do now since school has begun...

I'd like to share the news with you that our band is going to record a demo with 4-5 tracks soon. We have hired a studio for free to do this and we also got help from an experienced sound tech. If it sounds good, I'll share it to you but if it sucks I won't ^^

Also I'm in the desperate search for Melt Banana albums now... Any albums with them is appreciated. I can't find them on any torrentsite and I've searched in alot of DC hubs without success.. I know some of you definately got it.

[cloin]

I just ran a search on DC and found a ton of Melt Banana. Getting them for you now.

[Nybarius]

An anonymous friend of mine is currently uploading Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex OST 3; ETA: 52 minutes.

Enjoy.

[Miss CCV]

Oh wow! I didn't know NyNy owns this now! Yay! :whoo

[Nybarius]

I don't own it, really; I consider it more of a communal venture. I'd give the nod to moe and jkingler, who originally suggested the concept, over myself. The FTP is anonymous, and so on, and so forth :P

[TheMexicanKingVII]

Yo, Ny if you need help uploading albusm or need help finding them, let me know. I got a shitload of music ( About 80 gb worth) I also Have complete sets of music from

Tupac
Smashing Pumpkins
Alice and Chains
AC/DC
Bon Jovi
Cold
Korn
Mudvayne

I actually have a lot . :D

[cloin]

The music cult is an entity, not a possession.

[Nybarius]

It's up to you to share what you think people want to hear, my friend.

:thumbs

Try to describe it when you post it, so people will know what to look for. Thanks a lot!

[Nybarius]

Sorry for the double post, but Disposable Arts is up.

Enjoy y'all

[Jedi Mind Tricks]

Currently enjoying. :)

[Nybarius]

JMT your from UK, you like Skinnyman? What do you think about the hip hop scene in the UK?

[Jedi Mind Tricks]

JMT your from UK, you like Skinnyman? What do you think about the hip hop scene in the UK?

I liked the Skinnyman album you sent me when my name was Ranjha. It was "Council Estate of Mind".

To be honest with you, my knowledge of the hip hop scene in the UK is very low.

Maybe you can give me a few recommendations.

[BlueCheese]

Ah ok, my knowledge of UK hip hop isn't great either. But I love Skinnyman. Reccomendation's well Roots Manuva is good, you can listen to one of his songs on his website http://www.rootsmanuva.co.uk/. I like Klashnikov too.

[Nybarius]

Check out The Herbalizer, I think they're British.

Also Dizzee Rascal is dope, here's a sample track: http://www.jamesphineasmccaffrey.com/images/04-dizzee_rascal-graftin-esc.mp3

[TheDarkFirefly]

i'm so in, where do i sign up?

[cloin]

Eh, the actual cult is more or less in hibernation right now, but the idea behind is still alive. Drop moe a p.m. and he'll add you to the list of people that we all send music too.

[Efraim Longstocking]

The Cult seems to have been converting into ED!

[Catatonik]

Nah
ED! will always be slightly aloof.

That said, the Cult DOES still exist, in the Spread the Joy formatt.

[TheDarkFirefly]

o wait i think i'm already in this, plus i thought u guys were the manga cult =P

[less]

Yeah, we get that a lot.

[Erkekjetter]

Music Cult > Manga Cult

[Kyuubi Naruto]

EDIT:

Hmmm, I didnt know this place existed. :laugh

[Oskar von Reuental]

Dude this is the music cult :P

Unless the SF comics were upped here? :huh

[Kyuubi Naruto]

Yeah I got lost, sorry about that. :P

Im glad this place exists though. Time for some wellworth dls. :laugh

[coolbluex]

hi i'm still new to FTPs and all
i was hoping if anyone can help me with the password for the FTP...
i've tried everything and it still doesn't work for me...:cry
can someone clear things up for me? :(

[Jink]

Can I join the music cult? I have some stuff I'd like to share

[Voynich]

When did this get revived? XD

It's been dead since ages. For music sharing and stuff just browse around in the music forum more. At least 3 albums get send around each day.

[Efraim Longstocking]

The Cult was so cool though :cry
