Yeah, I think unless it's a particularly 'evil' video, that's what 73q is for. Still awesome.

This keeps coming up in my "recommended for you" videos but I never listened to it. Now I understand why. Reminds me that summer's just around the corner. A lot of my friends and cousins are surfers and I've never done it. I think I'll learn to surf this summer.

I thought 73Q was just for music, not music videos. Like, there it is understood that people would regularly be posting music videos for songs they like, regardless of whether or not the video itself was worth watching.

It's really just for music altogether unless it's really bizarre or out there. The rule of thumb has been then it goes here.

Ha. Rules.

I just wish 73Q got more than like 5 people on it every day. It's the new POESports. Just listened to the whole album. Amazing

It's supposed to be notable in terms of video/lyrics for reasons beyond "I like it, so there" in order to be posted here rather than 73Q, whatever that is. That's the supposed rule but honestly, who is really here to enforce it? Not me, that's for sure.

If we had some active mods/admins maybe music videos posted here could be judged and, if warranted, moved appropriately.

poetv has sort of become a sort of anarchist experiment. Order and site functionality relies on us all liking the site enough to do what we think is in the collective best interest. It's sort of amazing that it functions as well as it does.

I used to be in a band called Tycho Brahe and then the name changed to Tycho and then we broke up because we were dating the same girl. None of the same people I don't think but I was in lots of bands then (around 2000), but our music was kind of similar oddly enough. From what I can ascertain this band began right around when it dissolved.

poeTV is almost as good as the regular site was during it's heyday and I love the community here but for me that poses a huge dilemma.

Both the site itself and the way it's run need a major overhaul but such an upgrade would most likely destroy the community. In making poeTV like the other "youtube filter" sites it would also make this place more shit.

PoE in general has been a slowly sinking ship for years. I'm not sure how much longer it will last (maybe a year or two, maybe more) but when it does go most of us will surely agree that it will probably be for the best.

I honestly wouldn't have a clue where else to go for this kind of content. Just like PoE and News went down: everything else, including forums set up by posters, just seemed like a pale imitation. I fear it will be the same with poeTV...

I second odd eye. While I'd like a few fixes like the ability to delete dupes so they don't clog up the hopper, it's been my go to site for pretty much everything since 1998 or so.

I like 73q strictly for the fact that I can post things there without going through the hopper.

This is probably going against everything in my body mind and soul to say this, but if poetv goes down we can at least keep in contact and share videos on a facebook page. There's no reason to not keep the spirit of poe alive, ive been with it since Red and it remains one of my top visited sites. I go to about five or seven different websites, and if I lost poetv, i'd be bored as FUCK all the time. Im too jaded for the rest of the shitty internet.

Ugh... I'd hate to see this place go. I've been lurking around here for years and love it. Recently I always have a feeling that this time, when I click that bookmark, I'll be faced with a 404. The internet would suck a little bit more if it weren't for this place.

54evil.com is looking pretty good these days. Exy could add a video section, but we'd lose the massive archive of old videos and comments and we'd probably lose a number of people.

Does anything happen at 73Q? Always seemed super dead when I would swing by. Barely any comments, slow submissions, low hits. I dunno, maybe it's just me and all of you go there all the time, I barely remember it exists most of the time.

poeTV is an underground bottle society that runs its flesh maintainers with automated perfection. Friend poeTV will reign for a billion years, its code is perfect.

That's the thing: it's nice to be able to figure out what people like or don't like musically through 73Q but nobody really uses it anymore, so besides Cee-Lo's "Fuck You" and the "Pi" video it's mostly the "this is what I am listening to." I'm guilty of that myself. It's a great site if you just click around because with the exception of a few videos that I think were submitted ironically it's all pretty golden.

Other than posting other peoples personal info, NSFW thumbnails and videos titled "FUCK THAT ODDEYE CUNT" how do you get banned exactly? How come I am able to post to the front page but almost everyone else can't?

You can bet that as soon as poetv keeps giving me 404s I'll bone up on a videos section at 54evil but whether anyone would migrate there from here is another story.

and the (relatively) new Boards of Canada isn't? I'd rather listen to this. Our Tycho Brahe was influenced by the fact that we got stoned a lot and listened to "Music has the Rights to Children" and tried to emulate it (ours' had vocals which were very Eric Bachman, this was like 2000) Of course to each their own but the whole album's really good for its genre, a lot better than most of what I hear.

I didn't compare this to BoC. Even though they lift a lot from them, this song sounds more like a shitty Washed Out or something.
Also the new BoC album had nice some Carpenter influences I haven't heard from anyone in a while.

I don't like most of what BoC has done over the last decade, but I wouldn't call it generic. I suppose it could be argued that they continued where Autechre and Aphex Twin left off in the mid '90s, but unlike Tycho, they added enough fresh elements to the formula to make it their own.

This stuff sounds like off-brand BoC. It's like someone scraped a couple synth patches off of MHTRTC and pasted a crappy unprocessed drum pattern on top. There's no tweaking of the formula here. It's pure emulation.

I'm reminded of something that Aphex Twin said in an interview about the current state of techno.

"Too many sheep and not enough shepherds."

Boards of Canada is kind of boring, only care when they team up with someone like beck or anticon or dose one or why or something.

Tycho is good. It is nowhere near as kick-ass as Com Truise - I consider Tycho a necessary and chill variation of electronic. It's more background ambient whereas Com Truise is definitely foreground and riveting.

Saying a thing is "generic" when it hasn't been done before is kind of silly. This is its own thing.

My favorite tycho song - A Walk. If he could get a whole album sounding like that i'd consider him closer to Com Truise's brilliance.
