What's so ridiculous 'bout Jamiroquai?

A Funk Odyssey, that's what.

However, Synkronized is unassailable, even if it's forever associated with the Napoleon Dynamite dance.

Once again, not on par with an early pressing of Raffi's contemporary adult record.

Katherine · « **Reply #56 on:** 02 Jan 2008, 09:53 »

I like Raffi. The first thing I did when I got a cell phone that could use MP3 ringtones was to make a Bananaphone ringtone.

Dude Johnny I NEED to hear that. I don't care if you have to stick a microphone next to your stereo speakers, I wants it. If it doesn't sound like James Taylor after having suffered severe head trauma, I will be disappointed.

I managed to get my hands on The Ben Gunn Society's self-titled debut CD. It's a concept album about Ben Gunn from Treasure Island. 17 songs about pirates and monkeys and cheese, sung in a weird vaguely Russian accent.

About 2 months ago, my dad got a couple stacks of records from an auction. While searching through them I found this:

This has got to be the worst metal, hell, music ever recorded. The lead singer, "Smash", doesn't really sing, he kind of sings out of his nose. It's the only way to describe it. It sounds like "HOOOOOOOO, HUHU HOOOOOO!!!" The guitar duties are held by someone named "The Axe". Needless to say, it's hilarious.

from the song Tree of Snakes

Stand beneath the tree wish to seek the wise,
branches begin to Fall to me.
Calling within me fear comes to rise.
A cloud of reptile drains to the sea.
Forgotten sight world.
Tempest of war raging control.
Calm before deceptions curled.
In masses they blame role.
Came time of rule,
From Those who held selfish prayers.
Possession become the tool,
for they rose before their cares.
Then when came the flight,
With definition they were faced.
Darkness has no need of light.
Drowning in motionless waste.
Elected knights armed.
Evils of man to disarm.
Senates of mortal harm,
Foreshadowed in the falls alarmed.
When then came its quake
Death and stagnation erupt.
In the human race corrupt,
Her mystical untamed snake.

If anyone can tell me what the hell "falls alarmed" are, please do.

Well, I have the 'lazytown' album (soundtracks from a kids tv show, I think).

I also have all the green day albums.

Benj · « **Reply #72 on:** 15 Jan 2008, 11:34 »

Single, not an album, but nonetheless, this lurks on my shelf.

Oh yes, the lemming single. In the style of early 90s breakbeat hardcore. With a rap.
Words cannot describe the awesomeness of this track, however the lyrics do give you a fair idea (you'll have to imagine the lemmings samples):

(rap)
they can rock to the top, they can even move down
move side to side, spin round and round
some o' them walk and some o' them run
get caught on the hop, and yes you're done
now keep your head, this aint a sideshow
concentrate don't let it blow
they'll fall off the edge, out of control
let's have a party, lemmings go...

(chorus)

lemmings can build a final story (?)
theirs is the kingdom, the power and the glory

(rap)

better move over, i'll take over
dance and groove with ya landing 'chute
better move over i'll take over
better watch out, there's a lemming about

rolling, twisting, building blocks
in lemming land there's lots of shocks
a big explosion a lemming goes down
better dance to the beat and shake it down
put ya hands in the air ya say ya don't care
jump to and fro, let ya body go
hopping, bopping, here we go
in lemming land ya can't be too slow

lets...walk a little, talk a little, fly a little, ski a little, swim a little, build a little, ?????

spacemen, snowmen, cavemen, clown
surfing, stacking, falling down
don't get beat, try to stay on your feet
take a step to the side, skip and slide
with a rock and a hop
and a little be-bop
skip a little, roack a little, lemming be-bop
lemming be-bop
don't you stop

i was looking at my digipack shelf and saw this:

it's by a canadian family who wrote stellar tracks such as "yr mama", "multiplication treehouse" and my favorite (as well as infectious) "peeing and pooing".
here's how it goes, iirc:
peeing and a-pooing
peeing and a-pooing at the same time!

it's great.

and in looking around i also remember i bought this a while back:

i got it because they had an all acapella techno song and that they made music with old gameboys.
"ballonx" and "pogos abenteuer" are tracks that still make the rounds on my playlist.

I don't know whether its wise for me to open myself up for a public flaming on my third post, but ah well...
I own two Spice Girls CDs, a Britney one, a Girls Aloud one (One for the Brits), and I still have, for some bizarre reason, the tape that went with a Barbie doll I had when I was younger, called 'Keep fit with Barbie'.
I cannot for the life of me think why I still have these things within a 40 mile radius of me.

So earlier, I was driving home from work, and I wasn't feeling very happy; I had been awake since 3 in the morning, I hadn't eaten, and my job is kind of lame. I count shelved products and inventory things in department stores and liquor stores and supermarkets. I'm essentially a peon of a company who is a peon to the IRS.

Anywho, I was driving home from work, and I wasn't in the best of spirits. I originally had planned to go see 3 of Samuel Beckett's one act plays with the ladyfriend sometime this afternoon, at this neat little theatre downtown. It was pretty much the one thing I was looking forward to. So you may be able to imagine my feeling when I realized that, because half of the team who does this same job that I do with me didn't show up for work, that I would be working right up and through the time when I should be sitting with the lady in a nice, cozy little theatre, preparing myself to be all "dude... that's like, deep. And stuff." I mean, despite what your idea of absurdist theatre may be, it is more entertaining than determining the total combined amount of tampon packages they had stocked in aisle four (there were a lot. I don't get it, yuppie supermarkets).

So I was driving home, very upset, and down the road, I saw this big, orange, glearing sign, advertising for an estate sale, and considering that I hadn't had anything good happen all day, that maybe I could find myself a present to make it all better.

This ended up being an incredible idea. I walk in, and it's all very dismal--it's the last day, so everything really has been kind of scavenged already. But there were a few stacks of records, and so I'm thumbing through them. It's all what you'd expect-- about six copies of the Jim Nabors Christmas Album, Willie Nelson's Stardust, Tchaikovsky up the wazoo. But then, as I'm thumbing along, something came up, totally unexpected. It was, in my mind at the time, A supposed gift from the heavens. I had perchanced upon a record, so ridiculously out of place, that it had to be mine.

It was this, ladies and gentlemen:

Dub covers of the Indiana Jones soundtrack.

Probably the best thing I have ever purchased.

Johnny C · « **Reply #87 on:** 27 Jan 2008, 18:04 »

Ladies and gentlemen, the above post is in the truest spirit of this thread.

Please, when I say "ridiculous" I don't mean "embarrassing." I mean a record you look at and go, I am amazed that this even exists.

Raiders Of The Lost Dub is this sort of record. Salut, Grif!

De_El · « **Reply #88 on:** 27 Jan 2008, 18:56 »

Please, when I say "ridiculous" I don't mean "embarrassing." I mean a record you look at and go, I am amazed that this even exists.

I think the Josh Turner album Your Man, featuring such fantastic pieces such as "White Noise", which features John Anderson ("take me where those honkeys are a-tonkin'" is a sparkling gem of a line that draws nothing but my purest amazement), as well as "Way Down South" which, at the end, features a minor-key version of the Confederate classic "Dixie", with rather interesting instrumentation.

Oh yeah and it's got a Gospel song in there too, "Me and God".

tl;dr [i/Jesus Christ that album is amazing[/i].

Oh and you should all probably check out anything by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band or Diamond Rio. The Dirt Band are pretty much a rock-bluegrass jam band, and Diamond Rio are a more '90s-country jam band. Bonus points: they actually have good songs, too.

Johnny C · « **Reply #96 on:** 28 Jan 2008, 08:33 »
