Random Music Thread LXIII: Cobbler is disqualified for poor effort.

I am such a fan of that kind of shit, but for some reason I really really didn't like their album.

 

[u2popmofo]

It was/is crazily influential at the time, but like a lot of electronic albums, it admittedly doesn't sound as fresh and mind-blowing as it did 12 years ago. Still a good album though, and worth hearing if not just for the importance of it in the sample world.

 

[cobl04]

I can't comment on its freshness, but I'm seriously head over heels with it, as I'm sure is quite obvious.

 

[u2popmofo]

Plus, Frontier Psychiatrist is still has hilariously awesome as it was back then. Probably my favorite music video of all time.

Even my iced-up mates liked that one!

That boy needs therapy.

 

[U2inUtah]

Love that video. The Avalanches first called themselves "Swinging Monkey Cocks"

 

[cobl04]

They also went by "Quentin's Brittle Bones" for a while, in reference to a minor celebrity here with a bone disorder hahaha.

 

[No spoken words]

Even my iced-up mates liked that one!

Lol.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

That boy needs therapy.

He's crazy in the coconut!

BL 'Nums are goin' down so smooth. Feel like I could drink a thousand beers right now, you guys.

 

[iron yuppie]

Dare I ask what a "BL Num" is? If you ever come to Chicago, I will buy you some real drinks.

 

[PhilsFan]

Bud Light Platinum. I am not really drinking them though. I am ripping Bacardi shots straight from the bottle. It's gotta be cherry because all I can taste is Tylenol.

I hope we go to the Manayunk bars. This party blows.

 

[PhilsFan]

I really hope things work out with my Baltimore girl. Not sure I can keep on keepin' on like this.

 

[bono_212]

That reminds me...I actually saw the Clamato in a real liquor store in real life today. Being so near it made me almost vomit.

Perseid meteor shower tonight.

Have to watch the live NASA video stream, not out of laziness, but because there's too much light pollution in my neighbourhood.

Anything you can put your finger on?

It's cloudy here.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm going to go to a nearby small park that's relatively dark in about an hour.

It closes at sunset, but I went there a few years ago for the showers, and there were a handful of people scattered on the grass, and no one came to kick us out, so I'll try it again.

While the Black Lips were playing Monday night, I entertained myself by thinking about what it would be like if they opened for U2 on the next tour.

I found the sampling over the top and obnoxious. which is kind of odd since I love plunderphonics.

 

[Danny Boy]

Take me drunk I'm home again.

This advertisement will end up somewhere on the packaging of the 25th anniversary reissue.

Spoiler

Which will almost certainly come out before the new Avalanches album.

 

[PhilsFan]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[PhilsFan]

Might need to reevaluate what I am doing. Way too drunk.

 

[bono_212]

Oh dear.

 

[cobl04]

I found the sampling over the top and obnoxious. which is kind of odd since I love plunderphonics.

It's certainly not as subtle as an Endtroducing... but that's all part of what makes it such a fun, warm record for me.

 

[PhilsFan]

Really strugglin' this morning. Feel like I drank a thousand beers last night, you guys.

 

[corianderstem]

You've drunk thousands of beers many times. Are you in the millions yet, overall?

Was out at the neighborhood park for almost 90 minutes last night; there were about 5-10 other people there, which was nice. Saw a bunch of little meteors, but only one big fireball one.

Finally packed it in around midnight. Sigur Ros is good meteor watching music.

 

[iron yuppie]

Sigur Ros is good meteor watching music.

I imagine this is how they envision people listening to them as they create albums.
