I'd say it's no more pretentious than having your Last.FM thingy in your sig. Which I don't find pretentious at all. Also, anyone who has a cat for an avatar (especially a Russian battle cat!) gets points from me! :thumb:

Carpe Mortem 03-11-2014 04:16 PM

I don't really have any thoughts on anyone yet as I'm new, but so far everyone seems pretty cool.

As long as nobody's a dick for no reason, and I get some good music recs, I'm happy.

Also I'm trying to get more posts in so I can finally post youtube videos! I won't complain because it's not my site, I don't own it, but it is kinda silly that you can't post youtube links on a music website. I'm sure it has something to do with avoiding spam.

You can post youtube links, but just after you've posted enough to make it clear you aren't a whiny self-promoting douche or a spammy moron!

Trollheart 03-11-2014 06:12 PM

That's actually incorrect. People often get this wrong.
You can post youtube links as soon as you join: you just can't post links to YOUR OWN music or music you're trying to promote.
Click the "Wrap youtube tags around selected text" to the right, copy your youtube address (everything after but not including the "v="), paste it in between the two yt tags and hit post.

Right on, just tested and it worked. Thanks! It's kind of a pain in the ass though, hope once I get my post count up I can just copy paste directly.

The way you do it is how it's done regardless of post count.

Yeah that's exactly how it works, for you with less than 10 posts or me with over 5000. It's just how the system interprets it. You can't just paste the entire link as the system won't recognise it. In order for it to see it as a translatable video link you need the youtube brackets and everything after the v=. That's the same for everyone and is just how it's set up.

In the 90's - ironically, on a non-music forum -
people would often ask each other what they
were listening to "these days" and people started
posting it as "N.P.:" followed by artist and title.

Over a dozen years ago, there were apps that
would integrate this with iTunes and this is what
I've used ever since (someone, last week, PM'ed
me here asking about this BTW). It's automatically
on when I'm actually listening to tunes and it's
added to emails as well. Funny, after 12+ years,
this is the first time anyone has ever said that they
had a problem with it (and extra weird that it would
happen on a music forum).

I think the "pretentious" label given to it is pretty
subjective and presupposes a lot that doesn't really exist.
It's not an attempt to wave the red flag of obscurity, but
just a piece of info that wouldn't be preternaturally
existent on a music forum post. I suppose that since
I now have a Last.FM sig., it's probably redundant
to have the "Now Playing" app running, so I'll probably
just stop displaying it here anyway...but that's the story
on the app.

best to all!

Now playing: Kylie Minogue - The Locomotion

I don't think it's pretentious at all for what its worth.

Also, nice track on this post. Talk about a counterexample. :laughing:

Goofle 03-12-2014 04:18 AM

I think it was more of a nod to this post in fairness. :laughing:

TheBig3 03-12-2014 04:38 AM

rostasi - I say keep it. My LastFM never synced correctly and I find it to be complete garbage.

Urban Hat€monger ? 03-12-2014 04:47 AM

There's a pretentious app store?
Cool

Do they have an app where I can make everything I say to be taken post ironically or one that'll add a dali moustache to all my pictures of me?

I know you're joking, but just thinking about that makes me want to punch Dali.

Yeah, that was it. I've only seen this Minogue woman on The Vicar of Dibley,
so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'll stick with the original Little Eva version
over this and the Grand Funk versions. Carole King wrote some hits!

The Last.FM sig is more of a "recently listened" and that's fine with me.

WWWP 03-12-2014 10:28 AM

I think you should keep it because fuck everyone.

Carpe Mortem 03-12-2014 12:10 PM

You seem pretty cool Rostasi. Anyone who has an issue with underground music, or the promotion of it, sucks anyways.

That being said... I really wish Rhapsody had a now playing widget/whatever I could post on my sig as it is my paid streaming service of choice. They probably have some of the best/widest selection of music, no ads, great service really... but pretty lacking in the social category. You basically can follow people or be followed, that's the extent of it.

WhateverDude - Probably the only local who calls it Frisco.

Circe - I don't know anything about her except that she can be summoned similarly to Beetlejuice: if three people post a picture in the members gallery and gain a fair amount of attention she will appear. Every time.

Paul - The shoe jokes aren't that funny but you're a wholly decent dude.

Batlord - You're funnier than I originally gave you credit for but I still don't think you're that funny.

Freebase - He joked about impregnating someone else and now I'm barren.

anticipation - I kind of forgot how funny you actually are.

Trollheart - If you were a person I knew in real life you would be Nick Chuba but less stoked.

Mondo - Annoying but solid taste in music. Is being less of a dick lately.

Fred - 10/10

Clancy - Pretty much the best.

Exo - The actual best.

Frownland - Cool guy, super funny, rad taste that's beyond me but completely intriguing.

Roxy - Would drink with you five nights out of the week, would smoke with you seven.

gunnels - Perfection.

Mojo - Miss him, haven't seen him around.

Alex - Miss him, haven't seen him around.

Rez - He really is the king of snapchat omfg.

Engine - A worthy Words With Friends opponent.




I miss my wives.

Aww thank you.

Yeah the shoe think is a bit of an in joke with me Deej and Roxy, I don't blame anyone if they're tired of it.

You're one of the coolest people here or anywhere

Mondo Bungle 03-12-2014 10:52 PM

I don't think anyone understands my humor, I suppose it's a lot better being an overly pretentious, ironic dick in person.

But whatever, maybe everyone's too feeble in the mind to understand my superior intelligence ;)

Trollheart 03-13-2014 06:11 AM

Thanks for acknowledging me Steph. For what it's worth I think you're sexy, beautiful (with gorgeous hair, don't listen to the nasty MB Love Machine!), funny on a level with Urban or Big3, super talented, often unfairly treated and one of the most popular members here, and rightly so. An incredible musician and a wonderful, talented, underappreciated writer.

Mind you, I don't know who Nick Chuba is but if I wanted to be a Nick I would choose either of these:

Kartoffelbrei 03-13-2014 07:54 AM

As I'm mighty new here,
my opinion does not matter that much,
but I can at least tell about my first impressions here.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the forum :)
A lot of interesting discussions take place here,
but also a lot of fun spamming.
Yeah, I can't talk about all users yet,
but at least there are a few, that so far are mentionable for me:

The Batlord - I think you must be toasted 24/7, but ur kinda fun...sometimes

Paul Smeenus - I.just.don't.get.it. But I think you know a lot, and you could be a very cool partner for a discussion.

Roxy - You're a *ucking cool lady, still sometimes you're so sarcastic, that I don't know if you're using post-irony, or post-post-irony or even post-post-post-irony. You really helped me a lot to get around here, so my thanks belongs to you.

Black Francis - Dude, You're racist! :D But in an awesome way.

The beavis 'n butthead guy - I don't really get you. But I think you might actually be a decent and intelligent person.

Wpnfire - ur a pretty nice person + you love system, which upgrades nice to ultra nice. which..kinda makes it ultra

Spike*Spiegel - Well, we're both going to hell. At least we can make more racist jokes there :D I like you.

rostasi - You know a ****ing lot! Very interesting to talk to you

Trollheart - You don't like the German language, but you're actually pretty cool :D

Janszoon - YOU FIND GERMAN CUTE! That gives you an A++ on your report card

Vanilla - And you actually ARE German. I mean you have German heritage at least. That makes you actually very hot :D + You're a very cool girl


Ya I don't know if i forgot someone mentionable, buut.. yeah.
That's so far my impression of you people

http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/09/feels-.gif

Though idk you very well you seem like a well mannered person with a good sense of humor, i think you'll fit in quickly here in MB in no time Kartoffelbrei :) (i need to give a shorter nick Kartoffelbrei is a mouthful, do have a shorter nickname?)

Isbjørn 03-13-2014 09:47 AM

Alright, I'll do this again.


Batty - Putrid and aggressive humor (hilarious), and you sure know a lot about metal

Black Francis
- Really cool guy, too bad you don't like metal, haha

Bulbasaur - Haven't seen him for a while, sure hope he's not gone?

Butthead - Emo troll king

Crowquill - Come back, please.

Deej - I'm glad I haven't gotten into an argument with you yet, but still you're a great member and possibly an even better plugger

DoesntReallyMatter - Confused me a lot, and I have a feeling he was, somehow, influenced while typing. Still, it would be fun to see him come back for a day so he could read the replies to his goodbye thread

GiganticDebaser - By being Norwegian, and a cool guy, you get a spot as one of my favourite members

Goofle - Easily my favourite mod

Kartoffelbrei - Cool new member, eager to get to know you

Ki - Your journal is, by me, used as a template for how it is done (along with Trollheart's journals, of course :rolleyes:). Also, your avatar is the best, I made it the wallpaper on my mobile. Just wondering whether you're male or female?

Ninetales - Wow, you went from noob to accepted member really fast. Respect.

Paul - Even though you're old, you don't take stuff too seriously and can handle a joke. Guys, stop hating on this guy, he's cool

Powerstars - *Cough* great example on how you can be both young and cool on the internet if you try

Rezz - Non-emo troll king

Roxy - A bit sarcastic sometimes, but we all love you anyway

Silenzio - Finally got your journal up and running, great! Easily my favourite noob

Trollheart - Trollheart for president of Journalland 2014

Unknown Soldier - Walking hard rock/metal encyclopaedia, really intelligent poster

Urban - Goofle's close competitor as my favourite mod

Vanilla - Likable without having similar tastes as me, putrid humor, or a taste for plugging. Respect.


If you're not mentioned, then I...

1. ...have already mentioned you and feel that I don't have much to add
2. ...don't like you
3. ...don't have a strong opinion either way
4. ...like you, but don't feel I know you well enough to mention you here

In other words, don't be offended. It's unlikely that I don't like you and if I do, it's for the right reasons.
