Hangingdong's bandcamp

>>71303188
Hey Bulldog and Day Tripper

>>71303325
Yeah Day Tripper is great, reminds me of Klaatu

Really though, when that Bowie album?
There hasn't been a thread for practically a week.

>>71304047
idk what happened, dong just vanished

lots of people were going on about he's a hack that mooches off the work of these other /mu/tants
i dont agree, but i hope it didnt get to him or anything

>>71304114
So let's do my idea instead: /mu/ covers Britpop

why does it cost 1000 pounds

>>71304441
It surpassed the 200 free downloads and bandcamp does that automatically.
Hanging dong made a MEGA link for it but I don't have it right now. Don't pay a single penny.

>>71304288
no thanks lol i personally hate britpop

>>71304441
free downloads ran out, theres a mega download link

>>71304441
because 200 people downloaded it and mr dong doesn't want you to pay for it

there's a download link in the description you dummy

>>71304047
gh

>>71304047
I've been looking for Dong in /mu/ but nothing:(

>>71304288
>/mu/ covers Britpop
Sounds gay and shite.
Sounds like gayshite.

I miss the threads in which we made the album.

Oh I was just making a thread and then found there was a duplicate file. Hi guys.

Nothing to worry about, have just been busy the past few days and wanted to take a short break from the madness that is organising 50-song albums on Taiwanese finger painting forums. back in action now, and we can begin to crack on with the Bowie album.

Also the mega downloads for Covers The Beatles and the Anthology are included in their description sections on their bandcamp pages.

>>71302088
Somebody has the link for absolute?

I don't like the Beatles so I couldn't make it through one track of this album.

My least favorite thing about this album is that it doesn't have that picture of Brian Wilson shirtless and wearing a fireman's helmet on the cover.

>>71306724
>I like to force myself into discussion of things I don't like
Why not kill yourself and save everyone the trouble

>>71304143
>lots of people were going on about he's a hack that mooches off the work of these other /mu/tants
I love this meme.

"Hanging Dong" has only ever been a collaborative group name, going back 2 years for those who remember the old days, and I offer contributors the chance for a song credit. If anything, I've actually stunted my own self promotion by contributing songs to previous Hanging Dong albums (although none on The Beatles one besides Rev 9) without linking my personal bandcamp/soundcloud, and instead leaving the credit blank.

I just do this because I enjoy getting /mu/ together to create weird memey albums. I don't think anyone can deny that stream was fun.

>>71306753
I was really disappointed because I thought with all the memes on the cover it would be something interesting but it's just shitty covers.

>>71306800
Beatles fans who have listened have enjoyed most of them.

>>71306800
>I saw memes and I thought "THAT LOOKS INTERESTING"
Yeah, kill yourself

Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are? You’re any kind of artist? Anybody know who you ARE? MAYBE everybody else wants to enjoy the peace and QUIET! This is one of the most important places in North America and who are you? WHO ARE YOU? You miserable presumptuous NO TALENT! You’re no artist. An artist respects the SILENCE, it serves as the foundation of creativity. You OBVIOUSLY don’t have the talent, You don’t have enough RESPECT for yourself or other people, OR know what it means to respect yourself in MUSIC or any other form of creativity. And I’m an NYU film school graduate, SUCKA, and the School of Visual Arts in the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. You SUCK! You’re a NO TALENT! If you really have talent, go practice. And then get yourself a gig, instead of ruining the day for everybody down here. You DISGRACE! You are EVERYTHING that’s gone wrong in this world. You’re a SELF-consumed, NO-talent, MEDIOCRE piece of SHIT. And I’ve EARNED my right to say it. OKAY? In 1975, I walked BOB DYLAN up on stage. Who the FUCK are you? I knew the GRATEFUL DEAD from 1966. WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? You're NOTHING! YOU'RE NOTHING! You are NOTHING, and you will never be anything. NEVER! How dare you? How dare you? You miserable, mediocre NOTHING! Shame on you. You crack a stupid little smile, you little pimp. Go learn to play. You’re FLAT! You can’t even carry a FUCKING NOTE. I don’t care about your little horn lip, it doesn’t mean you know how to play. You’re FLAT! I’ve trained CLASSICALLY, I’ve trained CONTEMPORANEOUSLY, and you SUCK!

Tried to include songs that people emailed me as suggestions, plus my own favourites, plus the essentials. Dropped his entire 80s output (besides Scary Monsters of course) because I personally choose to pretend that decade never existed for Bowie. I included Let's Dance and China Girl at first but then removed them to make space because I don't think we should cover them just for the sake of them being among his most commercial songs, when this is a fan project. If people disagree I'm open to including 80s songs though. I know I include little post-Scary Monsters, but his 70s spell was so good that I want to attach all the focus of this album on that period, with only great songs from beyond thrown in as a bonus.

I actually just read Scaruffi's Beatles review in full for the first time, what does /mu/ think of it? He actually seems kinder to most of their material than the first paragraph suggests. I agree that George Martin deserves a lot of credit for developing their sound and that they weren't the first to do a lot of the things their credited for inventing, which is a fair thing to point out, but most of his complaints seem arbitrary or pretentious.
>too much melody
>not enough jams
>not enough 10+ minute tracks
>they weren't the first to use such and such technique so who cares
I also don't agree that they were mediocre at their instruments.

>>71307526
It´s missing Velvet Goldmine and Valentine´s day otherwise it looks solid

>>71308118
Eh, I'm a bit disappointed that Let's Dance is being excluded.

>>71308264
I haven't read it in a long time but assuming your summarising points are accurate to what he says, they are all absurd

>>too much melody
>>not enough jams
Literally just stylistic choice. Doesn't affect the quality of the music.

>>not enough 10+ minute tracks
I like plenty of songs beyond ten minutes in length but I would actually argue it is more difficult to write great rock songs which are concise than it is to write long, meandering ones. Many extremely long songs give the impression that the writer couldn't quite nail a specific idea and had to stretch it out over a such a length in order to compensate. I love Echoes for example, but I think Happiness Is A Warm Gun achieves just as much, if not more, despite being 20 minutes shorter.

>>they weren't the first to use such and such technique so who cares
Who cares? I don't care if Norwegian Wood was the first use of sitar in a western pop song or the 100th, it sounds great. Once again, a superficial complaint which doesn't actually have anything to do with the quality of music. And if he's arguing that they were derivative, all I would say is that every musician ever is to an extent. The Beatles derived from older artists a lot, like any artist does, but they arguably revolutionised more than any other as well.

>>71308264
*they're

>>71308378
What would you want it to replace on that list?

>>71307526
>>71308118
>The Laughing Gnome
ebin

>>71301128
Fantano won't mention this in his bandcamp section. Screencap this

>>71308534
I don't know many Bowie songs so I really couldn't say.

>>71308882
Of course he won't. This album is nothing impressive or special

>>71308118
Actually swap I'm Deranged with Strangers When We Meet

>>71309168
Rude

>>71308279

Aye, that makes it 50 songs then, perfect

How are we gonna decide on a final 50 then? I wanna start the claiming thread asap

>>71309168
Dude, it's pretty sad that you have nothing better to do but shit on something someone else did.
>>71306790
Thanks senpai

>>71308534
I say replace Win with Let's Dance.

>>71309391
Well, I really liked the whole album, maybe you didn't like some tracks I enjoy or I don't know, sorry bout that.
Honestly the only song I really didn't like was Help!, I really don't get the love it gets, it's just plain stupid but speaking of the whole album I really liked, it has some great vocal performance and some tracks incredibly produced.

just dumping this monstrosity

The Hey Jude cover was pretty tight. Caught myself singing along the whole time.

>>71308118
Hey, I'm working on a cover of I'm Afraid of Americans at the moment. Could that be added to the setlist. Criminally underrated track of his.
