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. 

DOWN WE GO

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.

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.

For all my homies in the NW this be your soundtrack!

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.

Discovery / LP / 2009

This album is  a couple of years old but still gets lots of airplay, especially during the summer. One of my all-time favorite tracks on here is "Swing Tree." The first few seconds of this song will (possibly) get you hooked for months...or, in my case, years. Definitely check out the rest of the album though.  

WHERE'S THE FREEDOM IN THE DISCO IF YOU'RE ALL ALONE?

Blue Scholars / Cinemetropolis / 2011

I wish they would have skipped 00F!

"ABOUT CINEMETROPOLIS

Cinema has always played a major influence in Blue Scholars music, and this collection of songs is the most complete expression of that source of inspiration. During the creation of this collection of songs, an idea emerged: how does music influence cinema?

With your help, Cinemetropolis will be both an album and a collection of films inspired by the music. A sort of reverse movie soundtrack. With this project, each song, through collaborations with an array of filmmakers, will take on a life its own. We got a gang of music videos, short films and multimedia projects in the works, anchored by a featurette directed by longtime Blue Scholars collaborator Zia Mohajerjasbi.

Cinemetropolis, our first full-length release since 2007's Bayani, will drop in June 2011, followed by a Fall tour. Kickstarter is the only way that you'll be able to get the album *before* the official release date. "

success!

Seapony / Go With Me / 2011

For indie-twee-pop fans- here's 34 minutes of summery tunes from this Seattle-based band.

GET IT

Arctic Monkeys / Suck it and See / 2011

Like with what was said with the new Bon Iver album, Vamanos Children!! Get it while you can I don't know how long this link will last.


Love is a Laserquest

This is not the new album from Bon Iver. So don't download it.

I'm very curious to see how long this will be up before those nasty DMCA goblins tear it down. So snatch it while you can children!

It's no Emma, but nothing ever will be... (DEAD)

well that was fun.

Sharks Keep Moving-Sharks Keep Moving-1999

Sharks Keep Moving were a short-lived Seattle rock band that formed in 1998. The band’s original lineup consisted of Jake Snider, Jeff DeGolier, Nate Turpen, and Dan Dean, and J. Clark. Their music was a melodic, often soft, brand of rock with odd time signatures and an almost freeform jazz influence.

This album is just too good. It's rainy weather music to be sure.

Black Moth Super Rainbow / Extra Flavor (Dandelion Gum-Era Sessions) / 2011

try it out

This is a bonus disc that is release with the "Deluxe ReIssue" of Dandelion Gum
*not sure whats wrong with the 1st track, but it doesn't work...
i recommend finding the first track.

Lean Grimes / Lean Grimes / 2011

Here's a funky batch of mix and matched songs all broken down and re-pieced back together sort of like the album art that accompanies it (pictured above). A groovy pot of assorted sounds and samples bursting at the seems with life and fluidity. Snag the whole album at Leann Grimes bandcamp [here].

Pance Party / Rainbow Road - EP / 2011

"Fresh off a six month hiatus we're pleased to bring our friends and fans the 'Rainbow Road' EP -- Four tracks of glorious wonder set amongst an infinite starscape... But be wary, for this road has no walls or boundaries. One bad turn and it's an endless descent... INTO THE ETHER."

I think you'll enjoy this
donate (i know we don't normally do this, but when an artist releases their music for free, it puts them up a notch in my book)

Zelda Step / Ephixia / 2010

Well I think you can figure out what this is by the title. Nothing more to say.

That is all.

Steely Dan / Pretzel Logic / 1974

yeah, fuck you too

Prefuse 73 / The Only She Chapters / 2011

Prefuse 73 returns with The Only She Chapters, a compelling, exploratory set of compositions woven with the vocal talents of Zola Jesus, Shara Worden (My Brightest Diamond) and Trish Keenan (Broadcast) amongst others.
The Only She Chapters is released on April 25/26 on Warp Records as a
CD, double vinyl and digitally
