What is Reddit's opinion of blip.fm?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The Raveonettes and The Dum Dum Girls both do shoegaze with a dark Cali surf vibe, like something from Lost Highway.

I second Arys vote for Slowdive.

Or even better for finding new music, blip.fm. If you find DJ:s with similar taste as you it's an endless stream of new music over there. And you can scrobble what you play to last.fm if you like.

Yes, I use sites like blip.fm, with the help of ex.fm and last.fm, and find wonderful new music all the time through recommendations from my favorite blogs and DJ's, almost every day.

I just don't have time to follow these recommendations as stated. I wish I did though.

My friend uses them and they play a lot of good stuff. A much better alternative to corporate radio. Also, most college radio stations can be streamed these days.

My only problem with streaming radio (and also the automated random shuffle algorithms on Spotify etc.) is that sometimes it can be hard to go back and see what the name off a song you like that played. Does Radio Paradise show a song list?

I stream radio on blip.fm so if anyone wants new tunes my specialty is underplayed music you don't hear on the radio (not just new bands, also B-sides and forgotten gems). But I play all genres so if anyone wants specific recommendations in a particular genre I'm happy to share.

I maybe have a fan-crush on Yoni Wolf of Why, but must say their most recent album is not their best. Your choice is a good one, also recommend "A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under" and "The Hollows."

Fuck yeah Childish Gambino! Fuck yeah Blue Scholars too!

OK, getting ahold of myself.

<em>The Heist</em> by Macklemore is the one of the best albums of the year, hip-hop or otherwise.

Also check out: Angel Haze, Styles of Beyond, Mr. Lif, Hyper Crush (they're more electro, but check out their song "The Arcade"), Just Jack, De La Soul, Nikkiya, Azealia Banks.

But definitely Macklemore. And I strongly suspect IYL electro hip-hop you will like Left Boy.

She's pretty great actually. Her songs are delightfully weird while still being pretty.

As a person she's a great role model for young people too. She's disabled, don't do drugs, and refuses to allow herself to be sexualized. Her brother is her producer. Even though her music is a little dark her influence is wholesome AF.

Have both her albums and every song is good.

I have a lot of points to burn in music taste and I would spend them all defending her.

Ah yes that is a shame. For over ten years I've been a bit obsessed with a music site where you could stream and share socially so I've been expecting the next big thing to deliver on what got me hooked on that site.

The features I want in a music site:

• Stream any song I want, even weird stuff only in my own library
• Local download of stuff I own (if paying)
• No audio ads
• Real time comment and reshare on people I follow
• Easily share to my own website or blog

SoundCloud comes the closest but still isn't quite there, in terms of social and library.

I adore their first album.

YML the first album by Natalie Portman's Shaved Head. They've since changed their name to Brite Futures, but were best during this time. More poppy, bu the lyrics are clever and cute. Sound is similar to the pop punk twee of Los Campesinos!.

Or to go in the other direction, check out Cloud Cult. Very different sound from LC! but has the great lyrics and violin, plus BEST LIVE BAND ever.

I gotta wonder how much lean Gomorrhe has been drinking, as the pitch shift here is painfully slow.

So this is just an extremely screwed remix of AlunaGeorge, which only really bugs me because Gomorrhe is claiming to be the original artist. At best, this is:

AlunaGeorge - Your Drums Your Love (Gomorrhe remix)

Maybe it is nitpicking to criticize the way they label the song, but I feel like giving Gomorrhe the artist title in this track is not to give AlunaGeorge her due. There's nothing added here but a kick drum.

First time I saw them I went alone and weaseled my way onto the stage and danced next to the cute one and his wife. I tried to hang out with them and she asked me if I liked Designer Drugs (the DJ, not the stuff) and I was kind of wasted and didn't give a sufficiently hip answer.

Second time I saw them I danced so hard three random dudes told me they loved me.

Third time I saw them kinda sucked because the sound in the venue was horrible, but not their fault (That was with Grum, another DJ OP would like).

The Twelves used to be my favorite DJs until I realized they put the same beat on everything. They're still up their among my favorite producers, but I think their skill is more live mixing. They have exceptional taste, and let their ego get in the way like most DJs do (at one point I remember them playing a Tori Amos remix followed by their remix of Nirvana's "All Apologies" which I don't think a lesser DJ would think of nor pull off).

As an amateur DJ myself, I can say what blew my mind is that they live DJ without any headphones or monitors. Also they play keyboards in their mixes. Adding real instruments to a live mix without previewing the incoming songs...I'm really not sure how they do it.

OP and I have much the same taste, and I'm on there almost every day. http://blip.fm/daretoeatapeach

...though I confess it's frustrating since they lost the uploads. Been playing a lot of song suggestions for Redditors tonight, and some stuff I couldn't find. Have you tried their new site, fuzz.com?

I'd like to go on the record as some who's anti-psychiatry that isn't of the "Drugs are bad" mind set. Yay, drugs! I certainly identify with that Placebo song, there are times I've begged my mom to take her meds. Drugs make hurt and broken people able to function in society. But do the drugs heal them? Almost never. For that we need psychology.

Go to blip.fm and write your favorite bands under "find djs" and subscribe to their channels.

Maybe there's some free desktop clients like Blipster for Android as well.

Praise by Kinnie Starr.

And happy's an emotion it's not a thought It goes past the intellect to the belly Where it gets caught like a grain of sand That slides with the tide Not caught like a panther in the zoo nowhere to hide Happy bubbles thickly Brings a wideness to the eyes Happy is consuming like the big question why And happy takes over like an open summer sky And happy has no room for the melancholy sigh.

Unfortunately there's no youtube video for this song, however you can try here.
