Practically Everything On Bandcamp Is Not What it Claims to Be
 
I'm going through the music identified as 'experimental folk' and 90% of it is neither. They need an improved vetting process if they want people to go there to discover new music.

The Batlord 04-04-2016 01:54 PM

I'd hate to see what a band had to go through to be able to call themselves "black metal".

OccultHawk 04-04-2016 02:37 PM

I don't want them to have to burn a church down but if they sound like Motley Crüe then I don't want to have to shift through it. Not that there's anything wrong with sounding like Motley Crüe. I like Motley Crüe. If they had a Motley Crüe sound alike section and the bands really had that sound that would be cool as ****. Shout at the Devil!

My genre tags for this album are: experimental, hip hop, metal, punk, rap, ambient, avant-garde, country, harsh, improvisational, modern classical, musique concrete, pop, and psychedelic. It's maybe five of those things but it's also my best selling solo album, so it's a good technique to put your name out there.

Sorry that you have to sift through *******s like me.

OccultHawk 04-04-2016 03:01 PM

I'm listening to Water Waltz on Jesus Loves You. Is this you?

So you've made a whole $5 on it?

Frownland 04-04-2016 03:10 PM

22 and counting.

From a quick skim it seems really ****ing good. $5 or $5,000,000; as a listener I don't give a ****.

Yup. All me.

OccultHawk 04-04-2016 03:22 PM

Damn dude. I'm 70% through the entire album now. It's fantastic. Not just like wow for some guy on here that's pretty good. I mean it's good, even very good, by any standard. I'm staggered. I mean, you know, it's not often someone says hey this is me and doesn't totally suck, even online. It's not like polite, hey nice chops good. I'm astonished. I'm going from being an Internet peer to a fan.

This is as close to a blowjob as you can get on an online forum.

The Batlord 04-04-2016 05:28 PM

Gag.

OccultHawk 04-04-2016 05:38 PM

I don't care. If I run across good music I'm going to let my opinion be heard. I think it's lame to act like you're not really impressed when you are.

That silly tribute thread to Batlord during his ban was the real fellatio.

I have made a friend of horror. Horror, and moral terror.

You are theee most self-promoting person I've ever met. :rolleyes:

OccultHawk 04-04-2016 06:40 PM

That whole thread sucks more than he claims the music does.

Pretty sure Frownland beats him by a landslide.

You remind me of people who laugh at partisan political jokes: you don't laugh because it's funny, you laugh because it's an opportunity to passive aggressively criticize something while pretending to have a sense of humor.

YorkeDaddy 04-05-2016 11:09 AM

Does "ambient electronic experimental dark ambient psychedelic shoegaze space Fort Wayne" adequately describe Daydream Society?

Frownland 04-05-2016 11:10 AM

You ain't experimenting nothing and I think that Fort Knox would be more fitting.

Look who dishes it out but isn't so good at taking it.

He has something worth promoting. Batlord is self-promoting in the same way Paris Hilton was. Frownland has created something besides a persona.

Frownland's persona > Frownland's music

OccultHawk 04-05-2016 04:46 PM

Have you listened to Jesus Loves You?

*sigh*

I hate to break it to you, but you didn't cut me to the bone. I'd thought the ancient meme would leave that unsaid.

I think we've found history's first Frownalo.

Frownland 04-05-2016 04:53 PM

That's Mondo, actually.

OccultHawk 04-05-2016 05:02 PM

Bat I'm talking about your bitchy little reaction to Ki. Frownland, I may have put you in an awkward spot but Bat doesn't know **** about music no matter how popular he is here.

Yeah, and I think I made it through one song, not my thing at all. A+ album cover though.

That was to Nea. We have a thing going on. It's like sex, just replace all the thrusting with petty sniping.

OccultHawk 04-05-2016 05:11 PM

Fine if it's not your thing. And I'll admit I don't know anything about your taste in music but if you're not interested in avant garde or atonal expression on acoustic guitar then you really don't have a place placing a value on that record, which I think is brilliant.

When it comes to creating a tongue-in-cheek thread, or pooping on Frownland, then yes, yes I do.

Was I saying Frownland's music was bad? Or was I saying that he's just that great of a person? Was I saying both? Who knows?

OccultHawk 04-05-2016 05:18 PM

Fair enough. My bad.
