Can you dig it?

 

[Axver]

Why is it not surprising that LMP of all people would begin his tracklist with the theme from Shaft?

Why is it not surprising that LMP of all people would begin his tracklist with the theme from Shaft?

For you, actually. Partly.

 

[LemonMelon]

For you, actually. Partly.

I'm surprised he knows what Shaft is. I figured he would avoid that thing like a derelict with a flesh-eating virus.

 

[Axver]

For you, actually. Partly.

The segue into the Springsteen track was good.

 

[Axver]

One of my friends in high school used to like to sing the theme all the time, so that's how I know it.

 

[LemonMelon]

The segue into the Springsteen track was good.

Agreed. As I told him before, the first 17 or so flow really well.

Huddle Formation is fun to the max.

 

[LMP]

I cannot wait to watch Shaft in Africa with my friends. That's bound to be awesome.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, so that just confirmed my thoughts about Springsteen, that if he'd drop some of the backing instruments and simply have vocals, guitar, bass, and drums, his songs would be better.

Never heard anything by The Go! Team before, though I've mocked them for their stupid name. Like name, like music?

 

[Axver]

Huddle Formation is fun to the max.

Fun? Disorganised, obnoxious mess, if you ask me. Is there a song under here?

 

[LemonMelon]

Fun? Disorganised, obnoxious mess, if you ask me. Is there a song under here?

And so it begins.

 

[Axver]

Dangerdoom sounds like the name of a really bad death metal band or something.

 

[LemonMelon]

No matter how you feel about these songs so far, Axver, you have to admit that they sound great together.

 

[The Sad Punk]

LMP, what Ohio Players album would you recommend firstly?

 

[Axver]

Odd, I liked the Dangerdoom track more than the Go! Team one.

 

[LMP]

Dangerdoom sounds like the name of a really bad death metal band or something.

It's actually a collaboration between Danger Mouse and MFDOOM, who gets his name from the comic book character Dr. Doom.

The More You Know.

 

[Axver]

No matter how you feel about these songs so far, Axver, you have to admit that they sound great together.

Though David Bowie seems just a bit odd after Dangerdoom.

 

[Axver]

It's actually a collaboration between Danger Mouse and MFDOOM, who gets his name from the comic book character Dr. Doom.

The More You Know.

Ahh, right.

In that case, Danger Mouse sounds like a really bad metal offshoot of Modest Mouse.

 

[No spoken words]

really bad death metal band

Redundancy ahoy!

 

[LMP]

LMP, what Ohio Players album would you recommend firstly?

Hmm, you can't go wrong with Fire or Honey. Skin Tight's a fun listen, as well.

 

[Axver]

New South Wales, you can do better than that.

At least invoke the Department of Redundancy Department.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Alright, cheers.

I only just noticed a major grammar fuck in one of my posts a page ago. To celebrate that, here is some Engrish: May I take your order?

 

[No spoken words]

New South Wales, you can do better than that.

At least invoke the Department of Redundancy Department.

I start slowly, then ramp up if needed. I also like saying "ahoy".

 

[Axver]

I've got to say, Station To Station is so much better than everything else Bowie's made that I've heard, it seems like an anomaly.

The start of this Jacko track is ... weird.

 

[LemonMelon]

Skipped forward to Star/Pointro because it's so awesome.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

So. Muse are from another planet, right?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

So. Muse are from another planet, right?

pretty much, yeah.
