YO
I was listening to Super Going by Boredoms earlier today, and decided that it is both incredibly epic and yet marvellously fun. What other songs fit into this category? There must be many... Atlas by Battles springs to mind.
I used inverted commas because I suppose these definitions can be quite subjecetive dependent on the person using them.
Also, I've been into Boredoms for a month or so now, how great are THEY!?!? Its a shame I have nooone to talk to about them. Help me out DiS!!
"double lock your mind" by oneida
it's a 12 minute hilarious guitar freakout.
never heard any oneida
should i?
HELL YES
lord yes
looked on wikipedia
sounds like something I'd like - where to start? WIkipedia was useless in providing me the info relevant to that question
There's a multitude of albums to start with
they're rather prolific.
I'd recommend Anthem of the Moon for a modern psych classic, The Wedding for something beautifully beguiling, Secret Wars is a solid choice, Each One Teach One for freak-out mastery, Atheists Reconsider is a mad split E.P with Liars that contains some of their best...
...and there's still another three or four albums of excellence I've not mentioned.
i got The Wedding a few days ago
only listened to it once, but the strings! oh man. they're so lovely and used so well.
i started with Anthem of the Moon, incidentally. i love it.
mad fun
cheers guys
Thanks from me too
I have The Wedding and Happy New Year and was wondering where to go next.
sometimes my balls feel like tits
by sweep the leg johnny
crystal pyramid whatever
by Acid Mothers Temple.

TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN
The Beta Band - Dry The Rain
this must be at least seven minutes long and is a lot of fun!
^so this
Every Day Is A Child With Teeth
by Oneida.
Six minutes of shouted childish lyrics, drum fills galore, psych organ spills and distortion.
yeah
this band sounds really good
Meat Loaf - Bat Out Of Hell
EX MODELSLSLSLSLSSL
THAT'S NOT RIGHT,
I DON'T FEEL LIKE A SHITHEAD <3
i am putting that on
NOW
Halleluwah by Can
once I get into that groove it's SMILES ALL ROUND.
The Galaxial Pharmaceutical by Amorphous Androgynous/FSOL is pretty funny in places.
Sparks - Dick Around
...
head over heels
tears for fears
Fresh
Daft Punk
The weeping electric guitars, the glitchy bleeps and clap-along drums. I think this is the perfect piece of electronica.
Yes
What Sound Does A Mastodon Make?
by Fall Of Troy.
i find that epic amounts of fun. and funnily epic. especially the bit where there's back and forth screaming of: "SO TELL ME WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE PRETTY EYES?/ THESE?/ YEAH!/ THESE?/ TELL ME WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE PRETTY THIGHS?/ THESE?/ YEAH!/ THESE?"
hysterical screaming over bungee jumping riffs ftw.
that song sounds AMAZING!
I MUST LISTEN TO IT NOW!
...
Hawkwind - Orgone Accumulator
The lyrics are daft, the music is amazing.
Bend Over Beethoven by !!!
Mad fun.
Also Free Your Mind... by Funkadelic.
Muse win with New Born / Knights
I would start hating on Muse
but Knights of Cydonia sounds like the William Tell Overture. Which is the most fun piece of music ever written.
naaa, Muse are utter gash.
...
I think they have there moments, little bombardier.
Crusades by Fucked Up
oneida
up with people
or
sheets of easter!
I ws counting on you to second my Funkadelic recommendation
Disappointed and let down.
up with people
on record is quite short though!
Dare I suggest
Sister Ray?
Also I think "Wham City" by Dan Deacon might count, at least in terms of length.
Wham City
OH YEAH!!
the Sister Ray on the LP
YES :D there's times where John Cale sounds like he is having a lot of fun blasting the other instruments with that overdriven organ!
Someone who knows most of these songs
should make a playlist... i would but I only know a few.
Eastern Lane
Desires of Liars
the curse of millhaven
