by our totalitarian, robot government. But our new machine leaders are allowing each of us to listen to one song/track up to 10 minutes in length before we never hear music ever again.

What song do you request the metallic bastard to play?

Don't listen

find weapons with which to start the revolution


The Mars Volta - Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt

one of their best tracks AND it utilises the outlined time conditions pretty well


good choice indeed

but i'd want more


How Could I Be Wrong

The Auteurs.


This!!

!


there is no messing

when you have only a few minutes left.


Catchers - summer is nearly over

or Low - word


Some Aphex or some Squarepusher.

But it has to dance for me or it gets the hose.


%$6554^^%^DOES NOT COMPUTE

LISTEN TO %$£"%!55RICHARD D 51345%$£JAMES AND S.T.F.U YOU WORM%$£"%$55


why not

1984 by david bowie (wasn't going to respond to this cos its a bit silly but there you go)


silly?

robots? stupid allowance for music by a machine not capable of comprehending its meaning? Noooooooooooooo......


awww

you big softy, you.


AWWWWwwww

i don't actually have Cast of Thousands on CD, i should probably correct this..


I'll correct it for you.

1/10

See me.

PAY ATTENTION IN THE BACK OF THE CLASS.


good one.


You Will Be Reincarnated as an Imperial Attack Spaceturtle

by Behold... the Artopus. 9 minutes of instrumental bliss, plus those insane polyrhythms would probably fry their circuitry, thus freeing us from our robo-overlord's cold metallic grasp!


velvet Underground

White Light white Heat


sawdust and diamonds

by joanna newsom. a beautiful last song to listen to and 9.55 long so i'd be getting the most out of the time given.


craine


seconded

followed by some die plankton


that sigur ros song

that plays at the end of the life aquatic and sounds like musical droplets of heaven


Mogwai - 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong

you'd need to try and fill it as much as possible and it's 9:33.


That'll be 'Starálfur' then.

And it is most wonderous.


Cyborg Control

by Man or Astro-man?


It's All Gonna Break - Broken Social Scene

It's 9:55 and such a great epic climax to music.

If I was allowed one song regardless of length I would have chosen Miranda by The Mars Volta.


^ ftw


Explanation:

BSS - cos it's a great song.
MV - cos maybe then I wouldn't miss music as much.


indeed

^

You could ask for Miranda

with the first two minutes chopped off?


Ok, would that be allowed?

I don't want to upset the big bad robot.


NO IT WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED

they cant be fucking about with cd players stopping and pausing etc.


something by Isis probably...

either Garden of Light or Weight.


I have a new hypothesis:

if i listened to anything i loved, knowing it was the last time i'd ever hear music would upset me too much.

Therefore i would want to listen to something like The Feeling / Shampoo / Snow Patrol / Scouting For Girls - something to make your ears bleed and your last memory of music to be a horrible one; that way you won't be upset when it ends


mars volta?

yeah?


their cover of anything

would be torturous enough for music's absence never to trouble my little head ever again


I used to be like you with all the TMV hatred.

I saw the error of my ways, hopefully you will soon enough.


:/


good boy!


If one song to fill up the time

then InertiaRevolution by Death Cigarettes.

If it was the last piece of music I ever heard, it would be Robert Lloyd's "Nothing Matters"


only 10?

errrr

give me
any Mars Volta song short enough
or
"In Heaven" by the Lady in the Radiator.


Holy Fuck

Lovely Allen


pogo

- digitalism

i do just think it is so beautifully happy yet lonely and sad


good call

it's a great song.


Won't Get To Heaven (The State I'm In)

The rage they would inspire in me by turning it off 35 seconds early would be channeled into easily enough power to overthrow them and their maniacal ways.


Actually, no

It would be The Flaming Lips - One More Robot. That'd convince the buggers to let us keep music, I'm sure.


Josh Ritter - Thin Blue Flame

9:39 minutes of musical perfection. I could die happy.


Good shout

Very good shout.


me and giuliani

by !!!.

that's all.


battles

atlas.


nice choice.


Songdog - The Republic Of Howlin' Wolf

You'll get nearly ten minutes pleasure out of that...


Metallica - Creeping Death

Then I'd use the 2.5 spare minutes to load the shotgun and get out there for some fun!


"what a wonderful world"

on repeat.


the rise and the fall

by Million Dead
even though its like 17 minuntes long
the end just isnt music.


Tourette's by Nirvana

It woyuld give me all the adrenaline and rage necessary to smash him in charge to pieces and then relax while listening to something much nicer


'disintegration' by the cure

it's only 8:24, however, so i would use the remain minute or so to let the crushing silence set in before there is no more music.


actually

maybe 'let's not shit ourselves' by bright eyes. pretty much exactly ten minutes long, has a good title, one of my favourite songs, and would probably be best in the finality stakes.


as

i'm part way through a music degree, i'd listen to Freedom by RATM and then shoot myself

as i would have to change degree and career and hobby and life

which would just be rubbish


Free Bird


any snow patrol song after

the first 2 albums. then i could tell the machine "LOL you just listened to snow patrol. MINUS 20 INDIE POINTS".

by which point i'll have either killed myself or will be break dancing on the floor like a loon.


Us vs Them

by LCD Soundsystem. Before the war between us and the machine leaders. The remaining 1 and a half minutes of the 10 will give us a head start.


About three fifths

of Sister Ray. Then I'd probably blow my brains out because life wouldnt be worth living any more.


Husker Du

Could you be the one

or the Replacements - Answering Machine
