...as part of this so-called music lab experiment. The whole thing sounds a bit dodgy: http://www.musiclab.columbia.edu/

So far I've listened to the bottom three songs and they are all beyond derivative and smelly. Whiny pop punk with a touch of deftones worship...

are these campus bands?

I wonder if these are all made-up bands and they're trying to see if people pretend to know them in order to seem cool.

I had way too much fun trying to guess the angle in a lot of college psych experiments though.

Um, I meant mostly made-up bands. It could be a different U2, though!

WHERE ARE THE MALTA AND NNCK MP3s?

hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 18:49 (twenty years ago)

in the WKCR vaults somewhere...

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:01 (twenty years ago)

WBAR you mean

W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:11 (twenty years ago)

nope, Malta head honcho was a director of sorts at WKCR and Malta recorded there, as did NNCK.

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:13 (twenty years ago)

fair enough. NNCK played at a WBAR show last year: crossover appeal!

W i l l (common_person), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:16 (twenty years ago)

These are pretty clearly all recordings by the same people.

Colin Meeder (Mert), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:18 (twenty years ago)

xpost: this was all before WBAR really got going (early 90s)

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 19:23 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I participated in this a while ago. All the music they have you listen to kind of sucks, so I gave up.

Lyra Jane (Lyra Jane), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:16 (twenty years ago)

Fuck Grover Dill.

billstevejim, Tuesday, 19 April 2005 20:52 (twenty years ago)

So, does anybody have any idea what the hell they might be trying to figure out with this?

Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

prolly something along the lines of "people don't want free music from bands they've never heard of"

The Sensational Sulk (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

I didn't like those bands at all.
