Comments on: 17 dots on evr: how to listen http://17dots.com/2008/09/19/17-dots-on-evr-how-to-listen/ notes from the digital underground Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:55:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: SaraDevil http://17dots.com/2008/09/19/17-dots-on-evr-how-to-listen/comment-page-1/#comment-27336 SaraDevil Mon, 22 Sep 2008 08:26:34 +0000 http://17dots.com/?p=1138#comment-27336 I listened to the first hour today on my commute home from work. I thought it was rather interesting to note that for some reason it sounded to me like most of the pieces in the first hour were in the same key and had very similar tempos. Was that on purpose. Overall it blended well but there were a few times where I really wished for something that broke it up so it wouldn't feel monotonous.... Still have a second hour to listen too though so maybe that will help. Definitely heard a band or two I will be investigating. Particularly Wilderness and Superpitcher....I'll let you know more about what I think after I listen to the second half. I listened to the first hour today on my commute home from work.

And yep, I was being a lazy-ass and not bothering feeding things to itunes, which was how I found out :) Not complaining, you understand, just so'as you know.

Every 20 minutes or so. And Amy, glad you dug so much. Future Islands are amazing -- and on the site -- as are Answering Machine. Aside from the single I played, we have their whole discography on the site. I talked a lot through there! Every 20 minutes or so.

There was quite a few songs that grabbed me *cough* getansweringmachineforemusicselects *cough*, but Future Islands grabbed me and squeezed. My first thought was CYHSY meets Electric Six. I listened to "Follow You" at least three times. Excellent idea guys - I'm really looking forward to more! I listened to the show this morning and really liked it!
