It worked fine on Chrome when I was at home, tried three different Android browsers today with no luck, just buffering then 'disconnected'. Don't usually have any problems with my phone so I'm stumped.
Much weirdness. I'll find out what my UK mates are using, see if that makes a difference.
In other news, here's the list from last night's show. Square brackets are the 'weird' reason I included the track.
Comanechi - My Pussy [Japanese craziness]
Beautician - Heavy Metal Will Never be Died (But its Hair Will) [Deathgrind with a make-up, cosmetic surgery theme]
Pig Destroyer - Carrion Fairy [No bassist]
Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah [Won Eurovision]
To My Suprise - Get it to Go [Shawn Crahan on guitar, but sounds nothing like Slipknot]
The Locust - Armless and Overactive / Invented Organs [Noise]
Wardruna - Jara [Instruments made from bone, wood, animal skins, etc.]
The Locust - One Decent Leg / Immune System Overdrive
Palehorse - Holy Trinity Church Student Bar [Two bass players, no guitars]
One Dice - Twice as Sick [Just fancied playing this!]
Nojahoda - Nojahoda [Kazoo solo]
Cathedral - Fountain of Innocence [Features ex-Napalm Death members, but sounds very different to ND]
Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It) <- For Chi.

I tried the show on IE too but no joy there either. But as said, trying to do it at work isn't ideal. I can't use the Spotify client as of a few weeks ago so I gather our IT lot have further restricted internet access.
Gig last night was a bit of a mixed bag. It was at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, which I'd never been to before, and the sound was pretty shoddy to begin with. Guitars were way too low in the mix, bass and drums way too high. Seemed to get better for each band so wondered if they just didn't have time to sound check.
Shai Hulud sounded bloody awful, it improved for Comeback Kid and thankfully Propagandhi sounded great and delivered a storming set. Their new stuff is a real return to form.
The latest album's on Spotify for anyone interested but here's the first track.
Sonata Arctica were fantastic last night. The sound wasn't great to begin with (and the venue was like a bloody oven) and they took a little while to get into their groove. But when they did...........awesome.
My particular highlight was Fullmoon followed by Replica. Incredible.
Gamertag: aaroncupboard (like the room where you keep towels)
No show this week. My laptop is throwing a wobbly and I'm not taking the risk of cycling to campus in the dark for it to not boot. It took over an hour with six forced reboots to put the play list together!
Feckin' thing. Grumble grumble.

So, according to Earthtone9's FB page less than 100 people have legally purchased their new album (not including the initial pledge
people)
Shame really cause it is quite good. I guess one of the problems with crowd funding is once you've hit that initial crowd you've probably got fuck all extra to get some market presence
769 pledges were made but not all of these pledges have the album as a reward but you'd imagine the vast majority would've gone for a copy of the album
Yeah that new Tesseract is decent. Hasn't grabbed me the way the Concealing Fate EP did though.
This is also my favourite thing. Love Cult of Luna, they destroy ISIS and Neurosis for me. Got a perfect balance of brute force, atmosphere and melody. This video oozes amazing
Dunno if I could choose between ISIS and Cult of Luna. ISIS at their finest were just sublime (always prefered 'em to the still quite brilliant Neurosis), proper shivers down spine stuff. Thing is Cult of Luna are their atm, have been for a while, and damn it if they're not just the best live band I've ever seen.
Listening to Eternal Kingdom right now. Ghost Trail is pounding my skull to pieces.
Great song. Cult of Luna have been up with those ISIS and Neurosis since Salvation came out. That was released in the same year as Panopticon and The Eye of Every Storm (what an insane year!)
CoL have been hitting that mark consistently since whereas the other started to wain a little (or a lot the further you go with ISIS).
And Somewhere Along The Highway might be the greatest album ever made
It is rather amazing, was also the album that introduced me to 'em.
I don't disagree with anything you've said, it's just that I've kinda had ISIS on a pedestal since Oceanic (although Wavering Radiant didn't do it for me at all). CoL are the first band to make me think they should be toppled however.
Listening to Rosetta now. Headphones on, volume cranked up.
