You are so predictable though. You create a thread and drop just a single YouTube video with nothing else then in a day or two you will gripe and complain about how we don't talk about music because your **** post that might as well be spam since it has no other info in it didn't get attention.

Then you leave again for three months to come back and repeat the same cycle bitching and moaning about the state of MB. So yes I do expect more than just a YouTube video especially from someone that has been here long enough and should know better but naaaaah. You don't want to inform us about this band or leave the information for a future poster to see. You just want to complain about MB.

You nailed it. I post about music so I can bitch about the site.

I personally would not listen to any song unless there was a full Wiki page explaining who they were. ;)

Seriously though, I think it's important to put some sort of basic information about the artist, if only so that someone who hates this kind of music doesn't click on the video and be disappointed. Nobody's asking for half a wiki page, but something like: "These are Miracles of Modern Science. They're a post-punk neo-thrash smooth jazz avant-garde combo who have three albums and I really like them" would help. Honestly, Big3, if this wasn't you I would say that OP read more like someone who had nine posts rather than nine thousand! I think a little effort put into explaining what the band is about would have helped.

If I post a video to start a thread, unless the title explains it ("New prog band from Austria!" etc) I'd always make sure I explained briefly what they were about. I wouldn't post blindly. You may know who MoMS are, I don't and many people here may not, so you need to prepare people for what they are about to hear. I wouldn't want to click on a video and find it was hardcore punk or juggalo without knowing beforehand.

Also, I thought the thread title referred to great advances in medicine or cool new gadgets invented. Boo.

OT: have you heard Waits' new live album yet?

I have no idea why people are bitching. You posted the above commentary which is plenty for me.

Terribly mediocre song though, despite the semi interesting band name. Not a band I will pay attention to ever again at all.
