We should meet in person and talk about music related things and women and stuff like, you know, death grips and ladies and stuff.
>>62511812
Dunno, but the ones i've seen haven't been bad
Loyola New Orleans.
More than a few shitty rappers, a mediocre band named after a major New Orleans street, and a bunch of singer-songwriters. There are a few pretty cool bands though.

i'm at UW too, maple hall
Portland State
Music is great all the time
I work at the college radio and get to go to free shows sometimes
>>62511299
UO is a great school in a beautiful place but it's too much of a college town for me
>>62511964
Shit, top one was for >>62511503

yo what the hell, i go to university of oregon too, whats up?
Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo

wow you got us bruv
>>62512538
where are you from anon
>>62511964
I'd be a bit nervous for dat shit, heh. Might be cool but I'd be on a fuckton of etizolam for it, that for sure.
>>62512538
>>62512647
I certainly haven't met anyone there I'd think would go to /mu/. 'Course as I've said I don't get out much.
>>62512567
>living in dorms
do you like paying way too much cash for shitty housing? Even if I didn't live with my parents, rent off campus is pretty cheap around here. 'Course unless you're near a bus stop you'd need a car.
Since there's so many uofags here, anyone know any good concerts or anything coming up? I haven't been to anything since NMH except a couple classical ones, and I'm itching to go see something, but don't really know where anything good would be.
>>62514664
im going to animal collective in portland soon, strfkr is playing a show in eugene but its sold out i think
Where my Reedies at?
how do people even make friends at these institutions
i'm graduating come spring and i can't remember the names of anyone in my classes
>>62514772
Anco is coming to portland? Damn, I'd go but I really don't like making the drive (especially cause I always go to concerts on dissociatives, and I can't drive for like 12hr after that, heh).
I was gonna see strfkr last time they came, but they sold out then too. No luck for me. And damn, com truise too, he actually ain't bad.
>>62514877
you don't make friends in classes...
was that really your thinking for the past four years?
>>62514946
just found out freddie gibbs is comin in eugene in april too
>>62514978
explain further ;_;
Michigan State
The most popular artist is probably some EDM or something
This place is where thinking comes to die
i'm >>62512567
>>62514260
i only pay for housing, tuition is free because test scores/being fucking poor
living off campus with some boys next fall
>>62514877
i'm pretty autist when it comes to social situations so the first month i was here i basically just sat in my room and never really branched out
thankfully one day i decided i fucking hated my roommate (was a guy from my high school, got him randomly, my luck right?) and proceeded to switch to a more "social" dorm
we have little living rooms so i would just go outside and talk to people every single day and try not to sit in my room 24/7
it eventually worked i guess
>>62514946
seeing AnCo in March and Yung Lean in April
>>62515003
college gives you virtually all the time you could ask for to explore your interests and meet people that share those interests.
after college it becomes hundreds of times harder to make time for yourself and meet people. i'm sorry you had to find this out now
>>62514877
Try sitting next to people in your classes and saying hi or something. And if your major has classes with lab or discussion sections, it makes it a bit easier, ask questions or make comments about the lab or topic with people and you can start off a conversation pretty easily. I haven't really made any close friends yet, but I know people's names and go to study with them now and then and shit at least, and I'm extremely spergy and live off campus.
Everyone thinks they're the next Bon Iver
Overall Scene 6/10
>>62515020
Free tuition? Damn, I though I had it good with only a couple grand a year. I can't believe the out of state fucks here paying like 10 or 20 grand a year though, damn...
>>62511431
OSU checking in familia
>>62514988
not usually my type of music but I'll check it out, might be fun.
>>62515085
>all the time you could ask for
have fun with your bullshit degree. All I do is work.
Honestly, don't give a fuck about people in college. 90 percent of the time you'll never see them again. Have a close group of friends and stick with them. Discover yourself. This is prime time for figuring out who you really want to be. Explore hobbies and try new things and people with follow.
Any /mu/tants at lane community college?

I honestly have no clue.
>>62515540
i met the president of the libertarian club and he was literally a combination of /mu/ and /pol/ so good luck
>>62515618
i almost went there actually, heard there was a pretty decent house show scene there?
>>62512402
CPSLO reporting in, can confirm
Sucks we're right between San Francisco and LA, pretty much all big bands on tour pass right through our town without stopping.

I'm also at Oregon. Economics major. This is pretty cool because there are never any people from Oregon in the /biz/ and /fit/ uni posts
>>62516066
Hey, also Econ major at UofO.
What's your favorite album, fuckass?
>>62515540
Don't major a social science (besides econ) and you'll be mostly fine.
>>62516099
Can't pick one...
Some that I really like are Pet Sounds, Ziggy Stardust, College Dropout, Moon and Antarctica, Bee Thousand, good kid, m.A.A.d City, Dedication 2, Barter 6
What's your favorite?
Pronghorns represent!
This scene is okay I guess I don't really participate in it. Mostly just clubs here.
>>62516281
Strawberry Jam of a Lifetime, brother.
How are you faring at the UO?
Hunter College
It's shit in every way.
>>62516343
I fucking love Fireworks, that's my favorite AnCo song.
I'm doing alright. Grades are good. I might be shitposting on /mu/ a bit too much. I'm a sophomore, what about you? Are you in an econ class this term?
>>62514988
I will be there
I just graduated from UO actually and worked at KWVA, the campus radio station during my time there. Music scene was always pretty active, and garage bands are everywhere in Eugene
>>62516517
How do I get involved with the station m8? I wanna play some sick jap funk
>>62516517
wish i could find more garage bands here! i dont know where the music scene is at
Brandeis University (Boston)
A few cool garage rock bands, a few shitty rappers. It's a small school so we don't have too much
UIUC here.
Full of fedoracore EDMfags.
Just google it and follow the application directions. If you wanna be a DJ you'll prolly have to wait until Spring term scheduling to get a show. You have to do late night DJ training (1am-ish) and then shadow and then cover spots for a little bit before you can host on your own too. The application is really generic and the big question we would look at is a list of 100 artists the DJ would consider playing on their show. If you get accepted as a DJ you're gonna have to get fill out some shit to allow your show to play non-typical stuff (i.e. not stuff not expected to be on rotation/CMJ shill shit) so you'll have to do that for your specialty show
sorry that is a nightmare grammatically i'm a little drunk atm
There are probably p4k drones or some shit here
I haven't talked about music or to anyone outside of my major for about a year so idk
>>62511812
Fuck the football team. I dated a girl who fucked Deanthony Thomas and I'm still bitter about it.
>>62516827
Was supposed to be a response for
>>62516615
also on your application put all your jap funk as your top 100 artists cause when we would go through them we liked specialty niche shows a lot
>>62511299
Edmonds? Is that you?
>>62516832
Hey nerd
PITT here
Music scene here is alright some shitty bands that mostly do covers and some original shit thats totally wack
>>62516879
>I dated a girl who fucked Deanthony Thomas
L M A O
UT Austin
SXSW, ACL, lots of live shows every night many genres. It's pretty good
>>62516715
Downtown, Cozmic Pizza actually brings in a lot of cool bands, saw Mac DeMarco and Tera Melos and such there, but a lot of local bands play there too. Wandering Goat usually has a lot of local shows going on. Obviously McDonald Theatre and WOW Hall have a lot going on most of the time
Any wahoos?
And I honestly have no idea what the music scene is here in cville
Where my Maryland bros at?
Goucher college here, a couple of shitty rappers, some indie bullshit you'd expect at a small liberal arts school, and that's pretty much it.
I would die if I could find some people to start a sludge or screamo band.
>>62516893
>>62516827
Thanks m8. So I just list my 100 favorite artists and throw in some niche ones and try and aim for a specific genre/specialty show?
If I ran a show I'd probably play a lot of future funk/Japanese experimental stuff/shoegaze/atmospheric kinda shit but I'd like to also mix it up once in a while.
Adding on tho that Baltimore itself has a pretty decent music scene
>>62517147
>future funk
boo
just play the original tracks
>>62517147
good luck man, i applied last term and they didnt get back to me until this term and they made me give them an example setlist of what id do on air, still waiting. my friend got on relatively quickly when he applied though so who knows, i thought my music taste was good though wtf
>>62517147
yeah that's what I would do, the guy who has my old gig might select DJ's differently though
>>62517003
I am, first-year so idk much either.
>>62517184
Don't worry I prefer the original shit anyway but there's a few non-hack future funk songs here and there. I'd play a lot of city pop.
>>62517214
Damn. I'm kinda worried that I'll have no idea what to play after a while or wtf I'm going to say on air. I did public speaking classes and shit like that in HS tho so that'll probably help. Good luck to you too dude.
>>62515011
There are some good bands are Lansing. Wayne Szalinksi was there until I graduated and they're pretty good. Joe Hertler is a decent local act.
>>62516963
Ut here
>>62516066
Ayy, just got an acceptance letter from them. So far I've only gotten 36k in merit scholarships so I'm going to hold out for better offers from other schools. Would you recommend going here? I've spent a lot of time in Portland but I've never been down to Eugene.
>>62519229
To clear things up I'm from out of state so 9k a year off of 45k isn't much, if I get rejected from my other schools I might defer a year to live with some friends in portland to qualify for instate tuition
Went to Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) in Portland, Oregon.
How do you think the fucking music scene was...?
Everyone was a fucking try-hard hipster shit-bag. One kid literally said, and I quote; "the Unicorns are by far the greatest rock band ever. And I hope to one day write as meaningful and complex music as Who Will Cut Our Hair..."
God, I hated that aspect of school. But I did meet this one really fucking cute girl who wore all black and played acoustic covers of Cursive songs at a bar we both went to. She was cool.
>>62516936
yo pitt represent, you do any stuff with wpts?
Nobody else here from University of North Texas?
I'm surprised, with how big the music program is
Who /berkeley/ here?
Liberty University here.
Based Jerry supporting Emperor Trump
>>62516996
this, also matt knight gets the eagles, paul McCartney, the list goes on
>>62520731
fuck cal day sue
what music do you like though
there's some really good underground raves in oakland and sf
>>62521987
Indie bullshit like Destroyer, Silver Jews, and Jim O'Rourke. Various electronic bullshit.
Seeing Floating Points and Four Tet later on this year tho. Wanted to see Koze too.
Where these raves at?
>>62520731
Im at the CSU below oakland
I hate it here
>>62515657
that's what i've heard too. i know a dude from a local band who's toured along the west coast and is signed to a label, but I've never been to his shows.
where'd you end up going, anon?
>>62522434
fruitvale, one big one on international
there's a big mainstream one So Stoked, you should go to this week and ask around
>>62520683
>north texas
fucking gross
>>62522599
Ay sounds dope, is the So Stoked the DNA lounge one?
>>62522587
You explore the local scene much?
>>62522982
not really. Ive only been to the Great American Music Hall and Fox theater for /mu/ bands
>>62523056
There's a lot of really good psych bands playing shows around for cheap, The Telescopes and LSD and the Search for God are playing the starline on march 31st and the milk bar on april 1st, both should be great. Think there's a big noise scene in oakland too.
>>62522982
yeah, dna is pretty good
we've got a small one at codeword which is like dna 2, mostly hardcore and shit
From pic related, these guys are pretty good as far as college acts are, very fun live:
