- Booka Shade (decent)
- Digitalism
- Dialectrix
- Willow Beats
- Cosmo Jarvis

They would all be alright but no ****in way I'm going to that shit heap of a "festival".

[Rocknerd]

Splendour line-up is pretty good this year. FIDLAR are playing as well as Violent Soho and a new budding Aussie band Postblue.

also:
Klaxons
Polyphonic Spree
Rubens
Cold War kids
You Am I
Jake Bugg

That i'd want to see, heaps more for those into sensy music, rap and the dance music.

[the blue manc]

BDO 2014
Pearl Jam
blur
arcade fire
snoop dogg
ghost
major lazer
cosmic pyschos
and a heap of others bands that i cant be bothered writing

[the blue manc]

im up for Ghost and the cosmic pyschos

[parksey]

pretty epic line-up really

[Rocknerd]

The 1975 & Mud Honey are both that'd be on my list. Though, I'll not be attending as ill be on the south coast both days.

[pv4]

Awesome BDO lineup but is it really "the lineup to end all lineups"? :rof:

Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion :cool:

[toad]

Pretty standard BDO lineup but is not really "the lineup to end all lineups". :rof:

FYP

arguably no "bigger" of a lineup than many other years. typical bdo hype etc.

[q-money]

wow bdo is more irrelevant than ever

pearl jam smh, terrible band, only thing worse is their fans

the white bread of grunge music

[russjaybee]

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange / sad that today's headline acts are bands from over 10 years ago?

[q-money]

this is what happens when the dollar crashes

[plague]

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange / sad that today's headline acts are bands from over 10 years ago?

That's coz every song these days is either:
DJ (insert stupid DJ name here) featuring (insert irrelevant vocalist here)

Or

Some shitty Mumford and Sons imitators, which is terrible because Mumford and Sons are the ****ing worst.

/runs out and shoo's teenagers off his lawn.

Maybe the Rolling Stones were already booked?

[parksey]

wow bdo is more irrelevant than ever

pearl jam smh, terrible band, only thing worse is their fans

the white bread of grunge music

i'm no real pj fan but i think they are a pretty decent headliner

obviously there are a few zeitgeist bands like tame impala on the bill too

great to see that flume is playing just in case anyone has been able to miss him at every other australian festival this year

[parksey]

Am I the only one that thinks it's strange / sad that today's headline acts are bands from over 10 years ago?

well fesitvals still want rock bands to headline and pretty much all of the bands that are "worthy" to headline these big festivals are dinosaur bands e.g. soundgarden, tool, metallica, pumpkins, alice in chains, blur, stone roses, even radiohead.

[q-money]

flume shows are great for a perv in the crowd though, mind

[the blue manc]

I'm only going for the overpriced food and drinks. And seeing its on straya day wearing my cape flag and southern cross tattoo.

[parksey]

holdin' on

holdin' on

[parksey]

duum

Cant wait til Ke$ha headlines the 2021 Big Day Out.

[russjaybee]

Can confirm.

Music is dead. Needs more TISM.

[parksey]

digging the debut lps from two good young australian bands: rufus - atlas, and snakadaktal - sleep in the water.

rufus is a dance/house group who write really catchy tunes. might have heard them a few weeks back on the j's as they had the feature album. saw them last year at the cambo and they were great.

snakadaktal's album has really impressed me. i'd heard "air" and always dug it, not a huge fan of the single "dance bear" from last year and didn't really know what to expect from their album. very pleasantly surprised that it's a real atmospheric, dream pop/shoegaze outing which is exactly what i'm in to right now. great vocals. check it out qmun.

The movie/documentary/concert comes out in November but would be awesome to see it on the big screen.

Soundwave lineup announced:

[Grimario]

Testament and maybe Megadeth is all I would really be interested in in that lot. Shame that Layne is dead, would have loved to see AIC but current stuff is a bit blergh in comparison.

[q-money]

megadeth, testament, gwar, amon amarth (y)

green day :rof:

korn :rof:

[pv4]

Apparently Green Day are doing a 2.5hour set and no sideshows

[Rocknerd]

Soundwave is good for me!

I'd even go and see Green Day if they promise to play Dookie from Start to finish as they have been doing the last few shows.

Gwar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bowling For Soup, Nancy Vandal, Alice in Chains, STP (even with that wanker from that other band I don't like), Korn, Rob Zombie, Rocket from the Crypt

CLUTCH!!!!!!!

Rumour NIN and Maiden to play.

Throw in a few more solid Punk in the next announcement and I'll be a very happy man!

[russjaybee]

Might be up q-mo's alley...

I am a metal fan through and through, but I got dragged to Green Day when they were here on the 21st Century Breakdown tour. ****ing awesome live band. I became a fan after that show after avoiding them since dookie which I hated when it came out.

But Megadeth and GWAR, that alone is worth the price of admission. Gwar should have some new stuff to play by then as well.

Add to that, Living Colour and its a sweet line up. I am hanging for some side shows though. Megadeth/Gwar together or Living Colour with anyone any my credit card will hurt.

[furns]

Anyone go to Defqon1?
Apparently the pills were shit.

[parksey]

Harvest fest cancelled due to poor ticket sales. :(

Hopefully Massive Attack do a headline tour.

I thought Dookie was Greenday's only decent album.. hahaha

You are right though, sideshows are going to hurt the wallet bigtime.. Especially for any of those bands you mentioned..

Glad you are excited about Clutch, Rocknerd.. Can't wait for them!!!!

[Premy]

Clutch is going to be epic. Also bowling for soup is going to be a trip down memory lane. Best thing is my mrs bought my ticket and is shouting the seeking down in Melbourne for my day of birth celebrations. WINNING!!!!

[russjaybee]

Bit different for you lot, seem to only like old metal around here.

For those that don't mind checking other stuff out I present Nicholas Jaar's essential mix.
Used to listen to EM's a fair bit a few years ago and recently decided to check out some, this one was EM of 2012.

Chilled out mix with plenty of touches of orchestral, piano, some jazz stuff.
Opens with a great Twin Peaks gem.

http://www.mixcloud.com/aimnat/nicolas-jaar-essential-mix-bbc-radio1-19-05-2012-wwwaimnatnet/

It's going to be fighting Trentemoller for my new favourite chilled out mix.

[Bon]

A mate sent this link to me today..
Some awesome crazy-legs going on with some of these dodgey Russians.. I can see SD smashing these out at the next Tenzo metal night..

Anyone ignoring the football and going to see Devy on Friday instead?

[Bon]

Anyone ignoring the football and going to see Devy on Friday instead?

Ahhh man.. I would like to get there, but my optimism for the Jets season hasn't been shattered just yet, so I'll be watching that... (I am sure that the usual soul-crushing disappointment will be quick to settle in after a few games with GVE still there)

Oh yeah, I saw NIN with Queens Of The Stone Age has finally been announced, with Newcastle getting a show on March 8!

http://www.theherald.com.au/story/1831666/queens-of-the-stone-age-and-nin-for-newcastle/

Anyone else heading down to The Metro on Sat night for Between The Buried And Me and The Contortionist ??
Aaaaaaaamazing live bands..

[russjaybee]

What So Not - Touched

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVEkLrRvqWM&hd=1

I cannot stop listening to this, breathtaking.

[Rocknerd]

So Soundwave second release line up Pennywise, Less than Jake, Stiff Little fingers and THE PORKERS!!!!!!!!, going to be a great day! I hope there's not too much crossover for these bands though. Likely they'll all be in the same area though.

New Jake bug comes out this weekend, and Just ordered the new Less than Jake album! See the Light. Haven't heard anything bad about it yet.

[parksey]

anyone else going to the QOTSA/NIN show here next year?

[Bon]

Primus are coming out next year!!!
The Metro in Sydney on January 27..

Yep! Have never really gotten into NIN (not that I dislike them, just never given them a good run) but love Qotsa.

***

Chrome Sparks - Marijuana (Ace song, name detracts from it)

it's still at ivy though

best thing i've ever seen anyone do at a gig bar that dude having a pull at field day ( :rof: ) was dom punch a dude fair in the face for rewinding a tune without his permission

shadow is boring as, everytime i've seen him he has been gash

i also once had a bender with the plump DJs (y)

[q-money]

Disclosure - F For You (Cannot believe they produced the 'Fire Starts to Burn' abomination)

haha i know right, why do people think it is a decent tune, it's legit honking

[russjaybee]

Cannot stand Get Lucky and it will most likely get no 1.
Do not understand all the hype behind it to be honest, does not stand out as anything special to me.

Bet Covered in Chrome does pretty well also, far out JJJ have been spamming it.

Personally I hope this gets no 1.

Anyone here want to join in.

Must have a love of beer, football (drummer is a roar fan, what do you expect from a drummer), hair metal and being booed the **** off stages up and down the east coast.

Yeah I have seen them a couple of times over the last 5 or so years.. Easily the most energetic live show I've ever seen..
They sacrifice a little bit of their live sound for just how insane they go on stage, but its still immense..

So much so that if I saw they were appearing in Newy again I'd probably go.

Also Twelve Foot Ninja will be back in Newy playing at The Cambridge on Friday, 28 March 2014 8:00 PM.
Definitely recommend checking them out.

Some friends & I "found" (lol) these guys back in around 07 or so - pretty much they played covers back then, plus their Flippers song. I'd say out of my top 5 live music moments of my life, these guys have been 2 of them (Note: the best song I've ever heard live was New World Order by these guys - think it was at a Newy Uni sand/beach party in 08, or maybe Good Vibes in 09 or so?). But honestly, I've rarely rated their recorded stuff. They are the epitome of a band that live vs recorded, are completely different IMO. After the Parlez vous music video, I kind of lost interest in them - the whole Bumblebee song era onwards I've just not been a fan (and to be totally honest, I think I got a bit hipster-feel and lost interest once they became "too famous"). But that Create/Destroy - it's probably the first bit of recorded music I've heard from them that I've totally got into. I love it for some reason! A few of my family are talking about going to Splendour - if they do, and I man up and join them, I'll definately be checking out AvS again.

i think that the line-up is pretty weak this year.

i think that the line-up is pretty weak this year.

But the more I look at the lineup, the more I went to see a heap of bands - and while it is 300-400 odd dollars I feel like I'm all but sold on the idea of going now :rof:

does anybody much follow the local music scene in newcastle?

I know in sydney there is FBI radio that has as part of its license requirements to play something like 90% Sydney based artists, is there anything like this in newcastle? or at the very least there is sure to be someone that follows/reports/blogs on the music in newcastle on a regular basis, local acts etc.

at any rate would be very interested to talk to anyone about this kind of thing if anyone has any information for me.

not looking for self promoters though.

I spent many a year following, playing in, organizing shows, drinking heavily, with the local heavy scene. however I haven't been to too many local shows of late and now I'm a bit out of the loop..
My mates used to run a late night show at the uni on 2NUR for metal (which wasn't strictly local, but a lot of Australian and local stuff did get a run). I'm not aware of any strictly local radio shows like the one you mentioned in Sydney..

As I said, my experience was mainly with the heavy scene, not all music in Newy.. I don't know of anyone following, reporting and blogging on all aspects of live music around Newy.. Would be a cool thing to get in to and look at though!

We played live on that Metal Show a few times in the late 90's. Wish I still had the tapes.

I'm a bit like you Bon. Spent close to 10 years playing in, organising shows, getting smashed and generally loving the live Newcastle scene. Seemed to really back off though in the early 2000's. I remember in the mid 90's there would be multiple pubs packed out with punters watching original bands. Used to even get enough money to cover strings, transport and more piss than I could (should) drink.

Sadly I haven't played in a band for over 10 years so I am really out of touch with the scene.

But if anyone wants to start a band I have a guitar and like to make noise.

[The Dunster]

The Hunter on Hunter was a good venue to hear alternative bands back in the early 90's. Mix of metal, grunge, and what the **** is this crap.

Most of the people I knew back then haven't played or sang for at least twenty years or so.

[the blue manc]

I can remember a few bands from the mid 90s.
Faceplant

Vasoline machine gun who changed their name to hound.

To me it sounds like a very polished, generic rip-off of the late 90's/early noughties angsty metal bands.. However it is well-produced, catchy as fvck, and pretty damn tough at the same time..
Keep an eye out for these guys to become the next Slipknot/Korn, particularly with Roadrunner Records behind them..

[Bremsstrahlung]

Ok, music nerds, DJ nerds and physics nerds. I've been mulling this over, and would like some other opinions, or if i'm just missing something.

Take for instance, a band: A drummer, bass, Lead and vocals. All 4 are making sound at the same time. Just different sounds.

Now, physics wise, these sound waves, should be affected by wave interference, constructive or destructive... correct?

Ok...So lets take a split second of music where all 4 are making sound at once.
I'm assuming the interference occurs, because you don't exactly hear, a little bit of guitar, bit of vocal then more guitar. It's all at once.
This is tough without pictures. *Goes to work on paint*. Assume the below picture is 4 instruments making their sounds, and they are affected by interference. And the overall amplitude (essentially) is what we hear (in a very simplified)... Correct?

What if, i then go to my computer, and with the whizz bang computers and they programs, i make an artificial sound that is the same amplitude, frequency and pitch as the resultant wave from above, do i end up with an identical sound?

(I had a long drive tonight)
943

[boz-monaut]

what is the actual question you're trying to ask here?

does interference from other sounds affect how we hear a specific instrument? yes but not my any noticeable degree as the vibration isn't one dimensional

can you make a single wave that sounds exactly like an entire band? yes this is what your speakers actually do - whiz bang computers take a digital signal of ones and zeros and make this waveform with a speaker

[Bremsstrahlung]

Bit of both, thanks.
Was probably more based on the first part.

But the second part intrigues me. Say you strum a guitar once. You get a sound wave. If you then try to replicate this in a computer program where you design a sound wave and you hear the result, can you replicate the sound without "recording" it.

[The Dunster]

I think your question is more to do with sound synthesis.

Can a synthesizer exactly emulate an acoustic instrument - no. Can it sound as good or better to you and me than the real thing because we don't know any better - absolutely.

I've been knocking about with syths since the 1970's Moogs, Midas, Prophets, Emulators and so on. Things have come a long way but not to the point you are asking about.

I am a huge triple j fan, i am not a hipster. I listen to it as i hate the ads on commercial radio. Through listing i have come to love a lot of music i have found on there. I don't like Taylor Swift or much pop music i hear on the commercial stations (every so often something comes up) but i can certainly recognize that some have a fair amount of talent.

In saying that, this whole Taylor Swift thing is fair game. The hottest 100 is dubbed as the biggest music democracy in the world. Therefore any and every song should be welcomed if it gets enough votes. It is no different to a situation quite a few years ago when some presenters (adam and wil i think it was) campaigned to get a pretty hilariously awful song by a band call Salmon Hater (heavy metal parody kind of band) into the 100. It got in, no difference here i think. Good luck to tayswift (yep i called her that), i still doubt it will happen though.

[q-money]

big ups to t-swizzle, stand up lass, one of sanchez's favourites i believe

[boz-monaut]

Shake it Off is legitimitely my favourite song of last year

admittedly I consider last year to be one of the worst years for music in quite some time, also I haven't really been keeping bang up to date with current musical trends other than listening to FBI, 2SER and JJJ in the car

but when you compare Taylor Swift to most other female solo acts out there, she's infinitely better

[The Dunster]

Piss weak doesn't begin to describe how poor Taylor Swifts muzak is.

Compare her output with that of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, or Carole King at the same age and her lack of talent becomes even more obvious.

As a business Swift is succesful no doubt - but as an artist her songs are more akin to a child writing about a lost teddy bear than they are of people and relationships.

The Harvard MBA's have a hell of a lot to answer for when this crap floats to the top.

Any music that relies on dumb parents buying the music for their kids because a kid seen it on tv is not music. It's mass marketed tripe that appeals for the widest possible audience for the maximum profit.

I put in this category basically any female singer under 40. Most rap/hip-op shiate and boy/girl bands.

Where are the days of bands/singers playing hard in sleazy bars like the old JR 50 weeks a year busting their arses living pay cheque to pay cheque and or ****ing their way to the top?

Honestly thought I'd cop a LOT more shit for confessing my T-Swift love :rof:

I also have another musical guilty pleasure but I think that would push the limits of everyone here so I won't share it :rof:

I almost came to blows with a bloke the other day because he tried to tell me Dave Grohl rocked harder than Prince.

No one rocks harder than Prince.

then he went on to tell me Kanye is better than Michael Jackson.


I just had to walk away..........

Hello ladies.

[plague]

Today's hottest 100 can surely only be a victory for hipster haters.
Scenarios:
1. T.Swift wins and everyone dies.
2. Bruno Mars wins but the hipster presenters only refer to it as a Mark Ronson song.
3. Hilltop Hoods win and become the first artist to win both the Hottest 100 AND Kyle and Jackie O's super dooper awesome mega Pepsi Max countdown song in the same year.

Let's just hope there's tonnes of silly bushranger bearded heads exploding all over Australia some time later today.

[plague]

Arrrrrggghhh gaddamnit I just realised that the 'take me to church' song will win cause it's 'such a powerful massage' about the gheys or something.

which stick is Swifty. She was sweet when she was a 16 year old singing about Unicorns and princesses, but now just another pop star with nothing new to add to the music world.

Solid band in their day.

Ex wives demanding more money or the IRS chasing them ?

That's the usual explanation for bands coming out of hibernation after this many years.

Seriously though I don't think any band in history has ever made a comeback album remotely close to the quality of their best work after ten years off - let alone 18 years or whatever it would be for FNM.

The very best bands have around ten years in them at the most and thats it. Beyond that they make so much money and live such extravagent lifestyle that they soon enough forget why they became musicians in the first place.

This is generally true..
I gotta say, i was really disappointed with their latest single "Motherfvcker".. It was ok, but kinda boring and just forced.. If any new band had released it noone would have given a crap, cause you got FNM doing it, you had fanboys whacking off in a frenzy..
I'll still be purchasing the album, as I hope they can still pull out some of the old magic.. I won't be expecting a King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime classic album though..

[parksey]

yeah Motherfvcker was pretty bland, and i'm a fan of their more mellow stuff like Just A Man etc.

on a different topic: i saw FKA twigs last week and she was outstandingly good, outstandingly good. I've been thrashing her album all week and it's still fantastic.

Pretty surprised there haven't been people posting here about Soundwave or Future.. Or any of the side shows that have been going on..

I had the luxury of getting the train to Sydney on Sat morning to attend a best mates bucks weekend, but the train ride down was a real eye opener.. Very interesting dichotomy of music fans actually..

There were two Future blokes in front of me chewing their jaws off and three metal dudes talking about arpeggios just to the right of where I was sitting..
Here is a transcript of the conversation when old-mate short-shorts made eye contact with them:

Future Guy - "Sick Metallica shirt cvnt, where you goin' to?"
Metal Dude - "Ummm.. Soundwave?"
FG - "Don't know what that is.. Whats that in the container in your hand? I've got pills in this little box here if you wanna buy some"
MD - "Its a packed lunch and sunscreen"
FG - "Can I get the plastic off your packed lunch so I can wrap me pills in it, I need to shelf em and get em into the venue???"

:sup:

[the blue manc]

I would have gone to soundwave if it was a one day event, but two days sucked arse and way too expensive for the weekend taking accomodation and getting on the cans.

[pv4]

Arguably the greatest thing ever ever'd
