Topic: Music To Poo Yourself By (Read 13019 times)

I bought Black Forest by The A-Frames today and I can honestly say that no music has ever inspired terror in my to the degree that that album has. It's very harsh and abrasive, to an almost unbearable degree, and it sounds like it was inspired by what post-punk would sound like in a world where the world was supposedly run by Pinhead from Hellraiser but in actuality the secret government was Devo's vampire evil twins. That sounds completely stupid but it's entirely true. Anyways, for a collection of sine waves it sure stirs primal, fearful feelings in me.

Anyone else had this experience with an album?

my first listen, and many listens thereafter, to mogwai's c.o.d.y. album.

S-so you pooed yourself? From listening to post-punk vampire horror-film music?

I guess if any genre would do that to you, that would be it.

I think the first time I listened to The Residents' Animal Lover after getting it; it was a massively sort of depressing tone and it was, like everything else the eyeballed bastards did, weird. also, it was 3 in the morning and I was tired.

Let it be known, I was kinda hoping this would be a thread about what we all listen to on the toilet.

Signum_Tenebrae · « **Reply #5 on:** 13 Sep 2005, 21:41 »

I don't know about pooing myself but..

There is a band called Malvery from Canada. Their one and only full length album was basically the singer's musical suicide note. (He killed himself shortly after they finished work on it.) The music itself is bizarre and depressing, but not golden. The vocals however, are frightening. They are anguished howls and shrieks. At one point in the outro of the album he breaks down into a hysterical fit of screaming and sobbing all at once.

It's the only album I've heard that has made me feel physically uncomfortable.

Well, no. But if I had to soundtrack the experience, that would be it.

Forte: Consider that thread made.

Listening to Tom Waits' "The Black Rider" with no lights on. Especially 'Oily Night'. I think that's because the frequency at which that fucking DEMON'S voice is is the brown noise itself. Terrorize'd!

If you haven't heard 'Oily Night', you must!

I love how you had no idea what you were getting into, Johnny C. The clerk at CD Plus only told you that it was "post-punk rock music" or something like that. This was also the same clerk who described Kinski by saying "No words!" over and over again.

Big ten-four on Waits. Just about any of his releases would work well in this respect.

screenaged · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 09:55 »

Anyone ever heard Yes Please by Muse? It's all about drug addiction, and I used to listen to it all the time until one day I noticed just how horrific it actually is. It makes me feel a little ill sometimes. Powerful stuff.

shrimp · « **Reply #10 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 15:07 »

What about the legendary Brown Noise?

Apparently it is a tone that resonates with the bowels producing poo. It was on Brainiac-Science Abuse... dammit I love that show.

I think I shall work on producing that note with my bass.. then upload a file and make people comment upon whether or not they pooped. Or just felt an overwhelming urge to poo.

soak · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 15:20 »

From my schoolyard understanding what your talking about is producing the resonant frequency of the anal sphincter, which is rumoured to be 11Hz.

shrimp · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 16:03 »

Yup! Thats it, I just couldnt find the info on the Brainiac website. thanks! Now to produce that noise... yey for making random people poo their pants!

Gryff · « **Reply #13 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 18:57 »

A noble endeavour. Yay science!

shrimp · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 Sep 2005, 19:45 »

Gryff my thoughts entirely! whoop!

I wonder if I can turn that into a lesson, hmm... make the wee guitar kids search for resonant frequencies.

Listened to a bit of A-Frames and the main thing it inspires me to say is that if you found that scary then never-ever listen to anything by The Birthday Party.

Burmese.
The fact that a band advocates rape and murder and actually means that I feel somewhat uncomfortable while listening to this album. Well, felt. I own it and you get numb after a while.

Also: Landser.
A German nazi band. Somebody made me listen to them and that made me feel genuinely sick. I punched that guy.

happybirthdaygelatin · « **Reply #18 on:** 15 Sep 2005, 12:30 »

They actually tested "The Brown Note" on Mythbusters and proved it was a myth.

Garcin · « **Reply #19 on:** 15 Sep 2005, 17:48 »

How utterly shocking. Because I needed two guys with poorly advised facial hair to explain to me that "resonance frequency of the human sphincter and/or bowels" made no fucking sense on at least 8 levels.

</sarcasm>

Seriously though, I totally believe that some of the music in the other poo/music thread is totally more effective than bran. Mind over matter baby. Or, in this case, mind over fecal matter.

See, I choose to interpret this thread to be about music so awesome but long that you unwisely disregard your need to go to the washroom rather than pause it. In which case I would nominate Decemberist's The Mariner's Revenge Song.

Merkava · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Sep 2005, 19:15 »

Colin Meloy sounds so much like he's dropping a bomb while constipated that he makes me shit my pants for him.

Sorry.

Garcin · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Sep 2005, 20:10 »

S'ok. I can honestly say that I have never wondered, and never to intend to wonder, what is going on in Colin Meloy's pants. But I respect your freedom to do so.

Reminds me of that song 'Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence' by Glassjaw; he sounds like he's on the verge of just crying right in the studio right there. Then I realized Glassjaw was an excuse for misogyny veiled as emo anyway.

The whole "I Fucking Hate You All And Hope You All Fucking Die" album by Navicon Torture Technologies is pretty fucking scary, weird depressing/angry samples set to incredibly abrasive and distorted noise. If any album in my collection would instil bowel-loosening terror in someone, this would be it...

If it wasn't "My Teacher" or one of the last two parts of the "Black Forest" suite then you haven't grasped the fullness of its menace.

godspeed you black emperor - dead flag blues is pretty scary.

the car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
and a dark wind blows

the government is corrupt
and we're on so many drugs
with the radio on and the curtains drawn

we're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
and the machine is bleeding to death

the sun has fallen down
and the billboards are all leering
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:

the buildings tumbled in on themselves
mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
and pulled out their hair

the skyline was beautiful on fire
all twisted metal stretching upwards
everything washed in a thin orange haze

i said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
these are truly the last days"

you grabbed my hand and we fell into it
like a daydream or a fever

we woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
for sure it's the valley of death

i open up my wallet
and it's full of blood

KharBevNor · « **Reply #28 on:** 17 Sep 2005, 20:37 »

You can't just base it on the lyrics. I mean, I've never even thought of shitting myself, listening for example to:

Pedeadstrians

Humanity is a nuisance
Some people choose to die
When I come around the corner
There is where you forever lie

Walking with your kids
Their faces now marked with my skids
Accidentally taking your life
No accident...this was no accident.

What was another sunny day
Suddenly, a deathly shade of dark
You and your children now on my grill
Silhouettes on my door--shows who I kill
Killing pedestrians
Up ahead another one is dead

Untimely deaths
This is my specialty
I let God keep the score
The pedal hits the floor
...and I still want more...

Pieces of glass from my headlight
Stick in your eyes, impairing your sight
My auto a human blender
Chunks of viscera splatter my fender

Helplessly awaiting assistance
Rearview shows carnage much further in distance
In reverse I finish the job
Pull forward to reduce your family to globs

Transmission grinds face into pavement
Vertebrial folding and organ displacement
Witnesses distraught and disturbed
Your teeth beyond shattered, your mandible curbed

Gas tank now fills with your blood
Your mother's sweet baby now part of my hood
Should've watched where you were going
Now you're the chunks I'm blowing...

What was another sunny day
Suddenly, a deathly shade of dark
You and your family now on my grill
Silhouettes on my door show who I kill
Killing
Pedestrians
Up ahead...
A million more are dead

Medicocriminal Entomology

When unidentified remains are relinquished to our care
That are so decayed and liquefied as to make diagnosis
quite a chore
When the putrescent canvas of death is teeming with
bristling life
With tiny anthropoid stowaways nestled in every pore...
My autopsy technicians mistake the corpse shudder for
a cadaveric spasm
But upon closer inspection they witness the nauseating
wave of insect activity
The feasting and chatter drowns the neon hum from the
morgue lamps and fans
And the ambient temperature rises 5 degrees as their
chitinous bodies skitter in putridity...
The corpse is alive...reanimated through entomological
means
The John Doe swells...as parasitic activity literally
bursts through his seams
Seeping rivers of eggs...hatching larvae are hurriedly washed down the drain
Call the Forensic Entomologist...everyone knows he's got
bugs on the brain...
...Carcass hive...
...Cadaverine nest...
The Forensic Entomologist is a specialist in this
field
Of which there are three separate and distinct
components
The Urban field deals with insect/human environment
matters
Stored-Products handles infestation of commodities and
products...
But the one that we require is the Medicolegal
Entomology field
With its eccentric bug experts and their forensic
Ph.D.'s
They've classified and catalogued their necrophilous
winged friends
And can determine PMI by the stadiums and stages of
insect activity...
...Blowflies...spiders...beetles...mites and lice...
...Maggots...larvae...pupa...hatch and fly...
...Crawling...squirming...breeding...burrowing...
...Medicocriminal entomology...
The Forensic Entomologist will analyze the cadaveric
colonization
Taking samples and noting the current state of the
Blowfly population
After determining the extent of the recent Coleoptera
infestation
He will estimate the time of death so that we may
continue with the examination...
...When tissue liquefies and attracts the clavicorn ...
...The flies are drawn and oviposit their eggs...
...From this predictable process, tiny maggots are born...
...Named Instar Larvae, which then grow to Prepupae...
The maggot molts through three instar stages, plumping
as they gnaw
Colonies hatch together and migrate across the corpse
as a collective group
As a result of this infestation, they disseminate
bacteria and secrete enzymes
Which enable nearly all of the soft tissue to be
dissolved and consumed...
Depending on the habitat and the abundance of the
region
The expert can determine if the Diptera is currently
in season
Whether the Bottle fly prefers bright sunlight or
shade
And if the Coleopteran is nocturnal or active during
the day...
Oviposited eggs encrust the natural orifices and moist
recesses
Maggots swim in wound sites consuming rotting necrotic
flesh
The examiner's gloved hand is thrust wrist-deep in
this bug colony
Searching through the thriving mush for additional
squirming evidence...
...Parasitic swarm...
...Maggot colony...
...Blowflies...spiders...beetles...mites and lice...
...Maggots...larvae...pupa...hatch and fly...
...Crawling...squirming...breeding...burrowing...
...Medicocriminal entomology...

In their earliest days Swans were known for causing people to shit themselves, though having a seperate PA just for the kick drum sounds like the sort of thing that would do that.

Chuck Klosterman was talking about Kid A in his new book and how it inadvertently describes the events of September 11th.

Maybe your boyfriend is just hyper-sensitive to terroism.

The Grand Conjuration off of Opeth's latest gives me the jeebies sometimes.

The Pyramid Song and Climbing the Walls by Radiohead are pretty creepy in their own right. and yeah, Kid A was a pretty creepy album on the whole but i think Idioteque takes the cake. thom york is soooo insane when he sings that live.

the Deftones' Digital Bath was kinda disturbing, too. and while not really a scary song, Disappear by Dream Theater had some eerie moments.

sunn0))) is some stuff i wouldn't listen to while playing Silent Hill, that's for sure.

there are alot of songs that have really eerie/creepy/scary parts in them but aren't really like that on the whole.

"Frankie Teardrop" by Suicide. I mean, he drones for five minutes with distorted guitars while mumbling in monotone about shooting his infant son, and then fucking SCREAMS as though to prove it. Not a growl or a hardcore/emo scream, just a seriously terrified bloodcurdling scream.
