So here is just the essential info you need to make your musical decision: to listen/download or not.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger30125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538458768504665861.post-79648334896276525332011-01-16T12:21:00.000-06:002011-01-16T12:21:56.308-06:00How to download high bitrate albums or EPs of 320 kbpsPrefatory note: I am poor. Do not bug me about the ethics of this article. Uh, it is to be used for academic purposes only.<br />
<br />
How many times have you looked for a brand new and/or really hot album or EP, only to find there is no info on the bitrate? If you're somewhat new to downloading indie music you may not have experienced this yet, but don't worry, your time is coming. The new releases by major label indie artists have teams of technicians in the US and India, working around the clock to have their works removed from download sites soon after they're uploaded. Ok, I'm not too sure of that bit about India. For example, some months ago right when Avey Tare's "Down There" dropped, it was listed as ATDT.rar on filestube (or variants thereof). In addition there was no information on the bitrate. What's a downloader to do? Basically, if you know how long the album is, you can figure out what size the file should be. From there you can filter the search results on filestube (and many other search engines) by file size, and Voila! 320 kbps of brand new album or EP for you. In case you're not left-brained like me, I'm gonna show you how step by step.<br />
<br />
1. Plug in an album name into your favorite file search engine (mine is <a href="http://www.filestube.com/">www.filestube.com</a>), in quotations, and include a file format. e.g.<br />
<br />
"Small Black - New Chain" rar zip<br />
<br />
Actually I think with filestube, if you search for "rar" it brings up "zip" results as well.<br />
<br />
2. Now that you've made sure your download exists, we can figure out what size it should be. <br />
Go to <a href="http://www.discogs.com/">www.discogs.com</a> and find your album.<br />
Under "Shopping" click "Buy Digital"<br />
<br />
This will load a page with the titles of the songs and the play time for each song. <br />
<br />
3. Estimate the total play time for the whole album. Let's go through an example, "Young" by Summer Twins.<br />
<br />
Round the Moon - 3.5 min<br />
Was it worth it? - 3 min<br />
Veronica Sawyer - 3+ min<br />
Why don't you say? - 3.5 min<br />
Ghost Train - 3 min<br />
Jake Ryan - 2.5 min<br />
<br />
So, the average play time is about 3 min per song. There's 6 songs, so this EP is about 18 min long. (Note: the actual play time is 18:49)<br />
<br />
4. Calculate the size of the file needed for 320 kbps bitrate. Using the above example of "Young" by Summer Twins<br />
<br />
18 min * 60 sec/min * 320 kb/sec * Byte/8 bits = 43,200 kB = 43 MB<br />
<br />
So we will look for a file that is about 43 MB.<br />
<br />
5. Set the range of file sizes to search for. You may not be able to find something that is exactly 320 kbps, we are after all getting something for free. The file may be 30 % smaller due to being variable bitrate. 30 % is a number I pulled right out of my ass. So, file could be as small as<br />
<br />
0.7 * 43 MB = 30 MB<br />
<br />
Note: if we repeat step 4, for a 192 kbps file, we see that 30 MB is not much greater. <br />
<br />
6. Download the file. Unfortunately not as easy as it sounds. You may have links that look very promising, but when you load the host e.g. Megaupload, the file has been removed. : (<br />
<br />
Or the file is still on the host, so you download it, and one second later you have the file. PARTY! Then you find out it is just an empty folder of 0 kB : (<br />
<br />
Or you download the file, only to find out the archive is password protected : (<br />
<br />
When I'm doing this, I try to download about 3 different files in case some of them crap out. <br />
<br />
Well that's all, hope you learned how to freely acquire higher quality albums and/or EPs. Happy downloading!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538458768504665861.post-90625078975605619352010-11-11T15:05:00.000-06:002010-11-11T15:05:49.468-06:00Hiatus and/or Minimalist bloggingThe blogging style and/or frequency is going to change to accommodate my job searching needs.<br />
<br />
I decided this yesterday. The day before that, I had an unproductive half day of job hunting and a jam session later with a new friend who had some really nice synths. While the jamming was great and we had fun swapping music tips, I was kind of on edge until he left thinking "ok, I need to blog but at the same time I don't wanna rush him off". So after the jam session was over and I dropped him off it was already 2 AM. When I got back home I tried my damnedest to listen to all the new music I had downloaded (mixed with other vetted tunes, on shuffle). I had started a blog entry for a song which sounded good the first 30 seconds, I won't deny. But on the second listen, I wasn't so sure anymore. I noted down some other titles of interest. Some moments later I passed out on my couch. At some point I woke up and headed straight to bed without setting an alarm, and didn't wake up again till 1-ish PM...which is NOT GOOD since I need to contact recruiters during business hours.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I plan to continue communicating which new/lesser known tracks I'm digging. Either via minimalist "mention" blog posts, tweets, or some blog aggregator autotweet.<br />
<br />
Hopefully when I do find a job I'll have time to blog again [via sitting at a desk all day, surfing internets 90 % the time]. Incidentally, do yall know anyone that needs a technical contractor?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538458768504665861.post-68442932398894737942010-10-17T13:27:00.001-05:002010-10-17T13:28:31.740-05:00Teen Daze<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXea3ZVTv8gVbYrColBxqI6atjtTSJaukXaSzPHr3wiCIad51q1pMqjOGq7S_YTnfNz_LbELTa5X-lUZyWEHUZBtW2kNGv6CifK7rV_tsJpoe26gzrPWjdiuvTYYMfcxE8j9zqa4Ecso/s1600/nyt20somethingSC27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTXea3ZVTv8gVbYrColBxqI6atjtTSJaukXaSzPHr3wiCIad51q1pMqjOGq7S_YTnfNz_LbELTa5X-lUZyWEHUZBtW2kNGv6CifK7rV_tsJpoe26gzrPWjdiuvTYYMfcxE8j9zqa4Ecso/s320/nyt20somethingSC27.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thought I'd 'spice things up' with a photo of an 'effing hipster' <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/08/22/magazine/20100822-iphone-gallery.html">photo credits</a></div><br />
One of the newest blissed out tracks from 'chill-daze' powerhouse Teen Daze. But let's not pidgeonhole him, as he is a multi-faceted artist that has shown himself capable of several genres to date. Even if there were a near complete 'buzz drought' of 2k10.825 and onward, we can take comfort in knowing that Teen Daze will steadily release a stream blogworthy new tracks, like an IV to a patient. Speaking of which, stay tuned to YPNRTA because in the future I plan on hosting a 'Secret' tracks listening party. It's simple really, you come, you chill, you listen to a whole 'mixtape' of "unreleased" buzzworthy tracks. For now check out Shadows<br />

What do you get when you mix hip-hop and chillwave? I'm not sure which I like better: hipwave or illwave. But that is the genre I would assign to this mindfuck of beats, synths, and samples. This guy is so indie, he's using a free Soundcloud account (i think). Which is a bummer because I was hopin to download his remix of Top Girls' "Can't Stop". Just look at this videodromy pic, and ask yourself why you're not listening yet?<br />

These songs were either released/leaked ca September or are part of EPs/albums that were. I didn't decide to make this mixtape until...well pretty much the first of oOoOOctober so didn't start werkin on it till then. Didn't remember if a few of the albums were released in the timeframe or I've just been running around so much that it slipped my mind. A lot of love, care, and most importantly discretion has gone into making this 'mixtape'. I think all the tracks here are "legit". But if not: DONT ASK ME TO REMOVE ANYTHING. THAT WOULD MEAN I HAVE TO MAKE A NEW ZIP FILE AND REUPLOAD. I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT BULLSHIT. GO FUCK YOURSELF...NEWAYS<br />
<br />
El Guincho leads us off with some innovative combination of steel drums and electropop. Coincidentally oOoOO has a song titled Mumbai on their new EP. You have no idea how tempting it was to include that on the mixtape...for novelty. But I decided to 'hold myself to a higher standard' and not be 'gimmicky' this go round.<br />
<br />
I had some mixed feelings about including Small Black's "Search Party" [via I already gave it a blog entry and want 2 expose yall to more diversity] but I just <3 it sooo much.<br />
<br />
So I think it was two weeks ago when Active Child and 'The School of Broken Bells, srsly why we teachin our kids to play choral instruments that sound like bangin a knife on cookie pans yall' or w/e they r called...NEWAYS those two, did some mutual remixing of respective tracks, and the result was wonderful.<br />
<br />
I'm honestly not sure why Glasser's "Home" was released so early and heavily blogged. Nor why "Apply" wasn't just as heavily blogged. I mean we all make mistakes. Sometimes we just get complacent and we take whatever the newest release is from an artist we respect and just 'blgo the shit out of it' [via bein an effing 20-something]. I've been guilty of this in the past, but no more (at least thats what I tell myself).<br />
<br />
This Crystal Fighters - Star of Love album is a "grower". Still not sure how I feel about it on the whole. But since it has 'Basque influences' feel like it will aid greatly in my 'personal development' as a 'tastemaker'.<br />
<br />
Not sure when, but Twin Shadow remixed Surfer Blood's "Floating Vibes" which I recommend giving a listen. But for now...wait seriously, is it even possible you haven't heard "Slow" yet? If so, take a step back, think about the title, and how appropo it seems to describe yer ability 2 keep up with 'buzzbands'.<br />
<br />
I remember getting a tip a while ago on No Joy's "No Summer" from @foamingbbq (I believe it's still on bandcamp). So when "Heedless" was released, listening to it was a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
Checked out The Black Ryder's new album "Buy the ticket, take the ride (but only if ur tall enough, SERIOUSLY my wife is bangin the "Guess Your Age" booth guy and if I lose this Carney gig she'll probs leave me yall)"...on a tip from @mexicansummer<br />
<br />
Ok so Deerhunter's "Halcyon Digest" is good. UNDERSTATEMENT. But I think we're all a bit perplexed as to how the P4K's rating system works [via why did it get a 9.2]? Not saying it didn't deserve a 9.2, but I feel there are other albums that deserve a comparably high rating, possibly higher relatively, that I don't even see on the p4ks.<br />
<br />
A remember in recent history I clicked some link 2 download a free track by Warpaint. They made me enter a valid email address. Totes worth it. Can't wait for "The Fool"s release.<br />
<br />
Veronica Summer's Sawyer Camp was on a tip from @righthear. Actually a few of my mixtape/blog entry songs are. I think we might be blog bff's...bbffs. Wish they were a gurl, I'd totes hit that.<br />
<br />
Hey remember when I made that comment about albums not being rated high enough on the bitchsporks? I'd like to enter Women's Public Strain as evidence Exhibit A. On that note, I was recently not selected for jury duty. That whole process was a dog & pony show. Quite lolz worthy. Yall should keep an eye on my tumblr and watch me fail to articulate the irl fail...NEWAYS let me say this about Women. They are as good/if not better than Interpol at their prime. It was so hard to not listen to this album a second time in a row ca 4 AM when I was already dead tired.<br />
<br />
oOoOOooH I'm likin this "Witch House" stuff. More please. Think that this atx local band "Missions", who opened 4 SLAY BALLS last night might be next in my listening qUeUEeee<br />
<br />
Learned of Eternal Summers thanks to a label sampler from @kaninerecords...I think. They played a show at this East Austin dive, Club 1808 the following week. KISMET! It's a quaint little venue in an uh...interesting part of town where the 'non hipster' locals congregate at one of the myriad liquor stores.<br />
<br />
At the end I just wanted something a little more mellow than the mellow. Btw, checked out Memory Screen on a tip from @teendaze.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538458768504665861.post-5584611323989936692010-10-10T18:12:00.000-05:002010-10-10T18:12:27.107-05:00Blogger has a 200 char limit for the combined length of all labels.

'Indie' electronic artist Wolf Gang with a 'New' track. Active Child remixed the single "Back to Back" awhile ago which was my first exposure to Wolf Gang. It's hard to form an unbiased opinion of the stand alone work when it has been reworked so masterfully. Well 'today' is the day I learned about Wolf Gang the artist, not the remixee. You may have noticed the "inverted commas" with the words "new" and "today". Well it seems that <a href="http://www.thebluewalrus.com/2009/07/01/summer-days-through-the-folkish-haze-vol-2/">The Blue Walrus</a> knows the manager personally and has had a copy of this song since last summer! Take that P4K! Ok, can't hate on the p4ks too much...they have been liking the HRO photos I've been reposting. Probably some indie blogodome bullshit, they reachin out to kool-aid drinkin HRO 'readers', letting them know they still 'relevant'. Now you listen.<br />

</div>An unequivocally chillwave new track from Small Black. A fine follow up to "photojournalist" with an 80's synthpoppy twist [via the Informations Societies "Pure Energy"]. The band seems to be breaking new ground by layering flangy/cold guitar riffs [via Big Country Big Country] over the waved out synths. It's music blog days like this that almost inspire me to wake up earlier, just so I can be closer to blogging first...almost. And to think I was fuckin around tryin to setup streaming media over the LAN for 2 hours (only to fail) when I could have been listening to this fresh track. Listen now<br />

Electropop, somewhat dark mysterious synthetic drums contrasted with spiritual vocals. Yall remember her bein remixed by Delorean? Reminds me of a more conventional (kinda?) form of IAMAMIWHOAMI, however distinct. That's a good thing because ibid is not enough to hold me over. She leaves me wanting more, and here it is, undoubtedly 'adding value' to the genre. All the makings for a great remix. Well, now more than 50% of her debut <i>Ring</i> is on the electric web of tubes. Let's just hope the powers that be think of me as some kind of 'beta tester' and myself/yall as 'focus group data' that shows <i>Mirrorage</i> should be the next single released.<br />

This track comes to us from the <a href="http://whiteguyswithbeards.com/">White Guys With Beards</a> & Friends Vol. 3 mixtape which contains other good artists including <a href="http://youreprobablynotreadingthisanyway.blogspot.com/2010/09/closed-cassette.html">Closed Cassette</a>, <a href="http://youreprobablynotreadingthisanyway.blogspot.com/2010/09/blackbird-blackbird.html">Blackbird Blackbird</a>, and others I have yet to blog about.

The latest from the NY dream/psych-pop outfit Twin Sister. At first this darker track starts off seemingly innocuous track but takes some unexpected turns-- otherwise I wouldn't be posting it. Good but different. I haven't yet/not sure if I will fall in love the way I did with "Lady Daydream". Ok, I admit it. I am selling out today. I am posting some well-known bloggable music. I am planting my flag on the ground [via the homesteaders act]. It's been a long fuckin 2 days without home internet access. I was sitting in my folding chair by the front door of my apartments leasing office till 5:30 AM 'last night' for WiFi. My dream of having an average of 5 new songs per new entry every 5 days, during the 'launch' of this blog, seems to be going to shit.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538458768504665861.post-60371658032896435752010-09-16T04:14:00.000-05:002010-09-16T04:14:06.031-05:00Les Sins: Toro y Moi's other project<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_yBklkBWOoWn0x8HkY0ZKTHvrCoVEaaxQmbnR8KXgVO4wU2gaC-rhsxjCM4Tp12gNskwKvjgpmgmIPCjg7fz9RDX4gVSAdZ0w0869weBkYFK9OrgNJuUBsbTXvCJlC9X1LSQezqOZ9s/s1600/les_sins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_yBklkBWOoWn0x8HkY0ZKTHvrCoVEaaxQmbnR8KXgVO4wU2gaC-rhsxjCM4Tp12gNskwKvjgpmgmIPCjg7fz9RDX4gVSAdZ0w0869weBkYFK9OrgNJuUBsbTXvCJlC9X1LSQezqOZ9s/s320/les_sins.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ripped off from <a href="http://coolthanks.net/">coolthanks.net</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">As yall probably alraedy know Toro y Moi makes chillwave, electropop, even some "indie rock". Well Les Sins is his 'nu-disco', deep house Mr. Hyde...I've been a fan since "Lina". Occasionally I would find myself wondering, when is "Les Sins" gonna release another track? Thinking that he was someone other than Toro, on account of that really black dude in the main pic. Anyway, that day is nearing. The new track "Youth Gone" will be released on a 12" split, Nov. 9 2010 (they say).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Of all the posts today, this one has me the most excited. Another single released from chillwaver/gazer Brothertiger, and the mp3 has only been downloadable since. The thing I like is the way he blends different paradigms of electro, in this case space-aged reverbing synths and ecstatic technoish crescendos. Did yall know this aint on the hype m's yet?<br />

This is the music that would result if Aphex Twin took a valium (instead of speed?) Summarized by the artist on their website "electricity . childhood . farming . canada". This track is described (by the same) as "Trapped in Uranium City, Saskatchewan, a woman fears that the morse code signal will not reach anyone"<br />

The internets [via last.fm] describes this as 'deteriorated pop made in a closet' and invokes genres such as "psych-pop, new wave, post punk, and shoegaze". I'll bend a little on the psych-pop. In fact I feel like this isn't quite dream or psych-pop, a sort of hybrid. As for those other labels?...NO. Decide for yourself<br />

I'ma say warm 'Post-rock' ambient experimental with lot's of emotion. Apparently this bro's name is Ben Chatwin and he's from London. I can really relate to him, he collects anything that makes noise, records those noises, and finds ways to incorporate them into his music-- which is similar to my ideal way of making music. Except that I hope I can incorporate those elements into an 'electro' minimalist chillwave sound. Anyway, have a listen.<br />
