DMS STYLE GUIDE: LEARN TO POST RIGHT, FUCKERS!


This post is a style guide. All posts should follow the same format. For the post title, please write in the artist, album, and year separated by slashes ( / ). Please include a picture of the album cover. If you cannot find a picture of the album cover, include any picture you like. MAKE SURE THE PICTURE IS SET TO MEDIUM SIZE! The description should be in the default serif font you see here. Do not make it too long! 1 paragraph max. If you don't know what to write, just copy something you found somewhere (Wikipedia). After you describe the album, include a link to a .rar / .zip of the album. Mediafire is highly preferable. Datsmyshit has a mediafire account. (username: alex.tebbs@gmail.com pw: hollaback ), but you do not have to use it. Please make sure your link actually works. Sometimes if you can it's nice to include a link to a youtube of a song from your album, just so someone can try it out first. Finally, please tag the post with the artist, album, and year as this helps us search easily through the database.

THANKS FUCKERS NOW LETS POST SOME MUSIC

Bosco Delrey / Everybody Wah / 2011


Here's some psychedelic pop. "Down We Go" and "Explelled Spelled Expelled" are recommended to start with; "Insta Love" if you want to start slow. 


Is Tropical / Native To / 2011


"Land of the Nod" is my current favorite track from this album.

Kay Kay And His Weathered Underground-S/T


So hey, first post. I have to get you all to trust/like me. I've been coerced into posting here. This group is pretty cool, they make awkward cabaret influenced big band variety-show post-circus pop music. Ill hit you up with their self titled album.

I probably fucked up the formatting of this whole post. So what, fight me.

Various Artists & Sufjan Stevens / Illinoize / 2010


Illinoize is a free remix tape put together by Vancouver-based producer Tor, sampling songs from multi-instrumentalist and indie hero, Sufjan Stevens. Tracks are sampled from his 2005 LP Illinoise, as well as 3 of his other albums, 'A Sun Came', 'Seven Swans' and 'Songs for Christmas', blending Sufjan Steven's acoustic guitar, piano and horns with MC's Aesop Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), C.L. Smooth, Outkast, Brother Ali, and Grand Puba."

Onalaska/To Sing For Nights/2002

Onalaska is Northwestern supergroup comprised of members from Botch, Kill Sadie, Minus the Bear, and Sharks Keep Moving. It's basically my dream come true. However, don't get too excited because it doesn't sound as mathy/hardcore/emo as you'd expect. This album was a bitch to get. I had to download each mp3 separately and then reupload the compressed folder to mediafire. So y'all better appreciate it.

Givers / In Light / 2011

if the good vibe tribe made music, this is what it would sound like.

Some seriously good vibes eminate from this album. Nearly all these tracks were previously available through EP's and or singles scattered across the internet, but i am so happy that htese guys have been signed and are touring the country sharing their love of music.


"-After their 2009 EP, a successful tour with the likes of Ra Ra Riot and Dirty Projectors and a signing to Glassnote Records, GIVERS got together with producer Ben Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter) and mixing engineer Chris Coady (Grizzly Bear, Beach House) to make their summer debut, full-length with In Light out June 6.

-The opener, "Up Up Up", is a perfect intro to the album as it stays true to the
GIVERS folk, upbeat style. Lead singer/guitarist Taylor Guarisco and lead singer/percussionist Tiffany Lamson intricately sing hand in hand with each verse to the very end. The song picks up at the end with an array of loud guitar riffs, hard drum beats and percussion.

-Tiffany Lamson showcases her melodious vocals in the song "Ripe." She begins singing, "You like your man ripe/I like mine still growing" with a buoyant guitar rhythm backing her up.


-The quintet display an incredible talent for their Louisiana indie-folk style moving from its bright, charismatic rhythms to its slow, tranquil moments. They combine percussion with a contagious guitar sound with perfect balance and accompany it with the smooth and gritty vocals from Guarisco and Lamson.


Key Tracks:

"Up Up Up," "Noche Nada (A Lot From Me)," "Atlantic"


Key Album.
