Sweet Fancy Moses, the Forums are back!

In the true spirit of holidaze, LOTSOFNOISE frequenter Gauze gave us our forums back. Waiting for my webhost to solve my forum woes was going nowhere but Gauze brought us back from the depths. Not only are the boards back but there are now multiple anti spamola strategies in there as well. I think there are still a few to go...but things should be a lot better now.

Sorry for the look of the forums...I will need to make a new skin that fits the site's style again...but that is an MP not a YP. For now, enjoy the fully functioning yet visually dull forums.

Oh yeah...we unfortunately lost a week or so of posts so please repost if you need to.

Fuckin' Spam!

Sorry everyone, but the forums are down. Spammers were hitting us hard and during an attempt to squash the problem, something went, um, wrong.

I will hopefully have this fixed by tonight with the help of some awesome LON'ers.

The rest of the site is working fine though.

Monument of Urns, Lorna Doom and more

I recently got copies of the 2 Monument of Urns CDs, Lorna Doom, Get Killed, the 75 or less cd comp, the Rare Youth comp and others. The stuff is out in the reviewer's hands and you should be able to feast your eyes shortly.

I have to say that I have been listening to M.O.U. and it is sweet. They are these 2 tiny little CDs with 1 song per (mind you, the songs are like 20 minutes long). The art is good, the music is good. If you like large helpings of doom and gloom with your metal...go snag copies at Armageddon.


I am pretty torn about Lorna Doom. Although I quickly got over the fact that it is in fact NOT a doom metal band :) , I go back and forth on how much I like/dislike the CD. The music is pretty great almost all the way through. It has that cool 80's hip hop thing going on where the song actually has structure and changes (unlike most hip hop albums now with one loop per song). It is noisy and raw and differentiates itself from most hip hop sounds. However, it is the singing that I do not think I can get behind. It is a weird blend of Beasties/Dr. Octagon/MC Paul Barmann. I have been going through phases where I love it...and then don't. You should listen for yourself though...and read the real review when it gets posted.

Lotsofnoise Mobile

Just wanted to let you know that the Listings page works super sweet-like on mobile phones. I mean, I can only speak for Verizon's LG phones with web browsers...but I think it will work universally. I did not do anything to make it so...I guess I just got lucky. Here are shots from my LG phone. Now you can check what the hell is going on no matter where you are.

In this animation I show how I have Lotsofnoise.com as a "Favorite", but you can just type in www.lotsofnoise.com to your phone and navigate over (make sure you use the L_side link) OR make a favorite that is direct to http://www.lotsofnoise.com/rails/

Photos from LOCAL IMAGES section of lotsofnoise

Just thought that I would post some of the cool images that are in the LOCAL IMAGES section...in case you did not know it was there :) Check them out...there is a ton over there.

I scanned the article...click HERE to read the pages:

Providence Declares War footage

Anyone have footage of the shows? Mine is pretty terrible. Please post to my thread in the forums if you do. i would love to put it up on Lotsofnoise.

Here are some (admittedly crappy) videos of Lightning Bolt from PDW. I tried to shoot some other bands but all of the videos pretty much sucked. Show was good though!

I know it's dark

And the sounds stinks....

Do Not Install Itunes 7 or 7.0.1

So, as you may know, Apple released a shitty new version of Itunes that had some pretty cool stuff in it, but trashed some peoples computers/music collections...including mine. They quickly took it off the site as everyone complained and recently released a new version...7.0.1.

Don't do it. It still sucks.

Though I LOVED browsing my music collection via large album art (like the good ol' days)...the new itunes crashed...and crashed...and crashed.

Anyway, hold tight until a stable release. Yeah.
