House Rules
This is a commons for people who love stoner rock, doom, sludge, desert rock, and heavy psych — fans, musicians, and labels included.
Talk about the music
Tell us what you’re spinning, what you just saw live, what you made, or what you dug out of the Archive. Blunt is fine. Cruel isn’t. No harassment, hate, scams, impersonation, or doxxing.
One human, one account
New accounts start on a short leash so junk stays out of The Wire — links and files open up once you’ve been around (currently: 24 hours). Spam accounts get removed, posts and all.
Playing in a band?
You’re welcome — that’s the point of the place. Share your own record in the weekly new-release or introduction threads, and spend at least as much time on other people’s music as your own. If a track is AI-generated, say so.
Trading recordings
#music-traders is for the old ritual: trading live recordings and rarities. Keep it to your own recordings and taper-friendly bands — no bootlegging artists who’ve said no, and no selling. If a band or label asks for something to come down, it comes down.
Staff & reports
Staff post as El Capitan or The Sentinel — never as fake members. Report anything that doesn’t belong; we read the queue. Appeals go to The Sentinel at [email protected].
