I could listen to Dosed by Red Hot Chilli Peppers forever and not mind.

Shadows Collide · « **Reply #1 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 03:56 »

"Cherry Colored Funk" by the Cocteau Twins, or "Peaches en Regalia" by Frank Zappa.

For the past two days I have been listening to the Nouvelle Vague cover of Billie Idol's Dancing with Myself rather frequently. It is just so bloody catchy that I can't help myself. Good news is that I will eventually get tired of it.

Hallowed be Thy Name - Iron maiden. I can't even describe how epic it is.

Spinless · « **Reply #4 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 04:25 »

Gripped By The Lips-Joan of Arc
Holy Fucking Ghost-Owls
The Lament of Pretty Baby-Cursive
North To Nothing-Wrens
Fucking With The Altimeter-Brainiac
Come Into-Enon
Sea Foam Green-Jawbreaker
More Than Ever-Bedhead
The entirety of Gentlemen on repeat
Lowest Part Is Free-Archers of Loaf
Equus-Blonde Redhead
Shitty Yacht-Silkworm
Anthems for a 17 year-old girl-Broken Social Scene

Oh man, I should stop now. This list could go on forever. None of these songs are even the best on the albums they appear. They're all just songs I've listened to on repeat for hours at a time, enjoying each subsequent play through more than the last. If I made a playlist of songs like this, I bet I could listen to it forever.

Robot Rock - Daft Punk
Bikes and Bridges - Defiance, Ohio
Any song fucking ever by Explosions in the Sky
Minute-Hour-Day-Week-Year(The Faiths in my Chest) - City of Caterpillar

These were the first ones to pop into my head, anyways.

pinkpiche · « **Reply #6 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 06:11 »

E.S.T. - From Gagarins Point of View
Bonnie "Prince" Billy - No Bad News
Brand New - Sowing Season
Graf Orlock - Skynet
Pig Destroyer - Loathsome
Envy - A Chain Wandering Deeply
Haram - Plastic Hearts

and this one I just got tired of a couple of days ago, but it's back in the fold again:
Band of Horses - No One's Gonna Love You.

I was listening to the album Silent Shout by The Knife on repeat a week ago.

Sometimes this happens to me for a few days. Last week I became momentarily obssessed with the Archers of Loaf song 'Dead Red Eyes'.

Such a strange and oddly beautiful song.

I've been on such a huge Archers of Loaf binge lately. It seems like they are all I listen to anymore.

But when I am not listening to them, I am listening to the song Autoclave from the new Mountain Goats album. It is such a sad song.

Katherine · « **Reply #9 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 07:22 »

Autoclave is a great song, I've actually listened to it over and over again a few times since I first heard it.

1/1 of Music for Airports.

Anyone who says that they couldn't is either lying or a dirty communist.

I know because Brian Eno told me that he hates communists.

'You suffer' by Napalm death. I could listen that track at least 500 times without stopping.

Jimi Hendrix - Red House

So far this has happened to me with
"The Face of Oblivion" by High on Fire
"The Passenger" by Iggy Pop"
"Spem in Alium" by Thomas Tallis
"Rainbow Bridge" by Curtis Birch and the New Grass Revival
"East Hastings" by Godspeed You Black Emperor! (yeah, I know their second album was better, but that song's really catchy)
Oh, and "Sicut Cervus" by Palestrina, but that's practically mandatory where I go to school.

'More Than Ever' - Bedhead

[Fake Italian Accent]

This song, she is the molto bello. Biznono, he is writing the many songs that are mia preferita. Oh so many of these the songs! Biznono, you are there and here you are. You are mia zio fantasma. This song, she is the best of all maybe? Is so lovely, so very lovely to be hearing. Is maybe song about the girl and the boy? They have been in together for so long, so many years. Then there is having the problem. The problem, she is so strange. No-one can say why there is this problem but soon there will be no boy and girl. It is there on she horizon, we can see. There it is! Many songs about this momento, perhaps, but for me they are maybe the lies? They say the problem but it is hidden in silly poems and the screams and her shouts. Maybe in these other songs, we see the problem in a wink of an eye. Why the wink? If you are to tell me this here now let me know it for sure! Sapristi!

Biznono, you do not wink at me with her song. Graci Biznono! Graci for not winking at me.

[/Fake Italian Accent]

Oooh, Ned, you sounded just like a Pitchfork writer just then!

Anyway, here are some recent fixations of mine -

Enon - Law of Johnny Dolittle
Battles - Race:In
Pantha du Prince - Saturn Strobe
u-Ziq - Glink
PIL - Public Image

"Electric" by Boris.

It's sub-two minutes, so I usually do play it two or three times anyway when it comes up.

TV on the Radio - Young Liars

(the song off the album of same name)

Jackie Blue · « **Reply #21 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 11:39 »

ObPedantic: Young Liars is an EP, not an album.

That said, I could listen to that whole thing nonstop for a very long time. Every song on it is pure gold. I picked up the EP on a whim just because of the label it was on, not having heard a single word about the band or what they sounded like, and the first 30 seconds of "Satellite" seriously blew me the fuck away.

No, that's how I first heard the song, actually, and it is fantastic.

Also, it is my goal to put "Electric" on a dance mix with Britney Spears. If only my personal computer wasn't dead.

valley_parade · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 11:41 »

I almost put it on a dance mix I'm making for someone on here, but I ended up going with a Mando Diao track.

(man I've been at it for like 6 months, now)

I have yet to get sick of listening to Voxtrot's Firecracker. It just makes me want to dance around like a maniac.

'Hedda Gabler' by John Cale. I think I've probably left side 2 of Animal Justice on one of my turntables for at least a week, if not longer.

Probably also 'Let's Be Still' and 'Night Falls On Hoboken' by YLT.

And any side of Metal Machine Music, of course.

The Celts by Enya.

I actually have recorded this song ten times in a row on a CD, and I listen to it frequently.

Once I made a looped tape of Little Spanish Flea by Tijiuana Brass for an artwork. I accidentally left it a friend's house. They rang me up the next day to tell me that they had taken copious amounts of acid and listened to nothing but Little Spanish Flea all night.

I have got a ton of songs that do that for me so a list would be pretty pointless. Though I'm listening to one of them right now: Hummingbird by Wilco. Goddamn amazing song.

Right now I'm hooked on You are There by Mono. I could listen to that one album for the rest of time and be content with existence.

Calaveth · « **Reply #36 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 15:08 »

You Make Me Like Charity by The Knife was probably my worst case of this. I played it over and over for a couple of months before I got just a bit sick of it.

More recently, it's been M.I.A's Paper Planes, and Maserati's Show Me the Season.

squawk · « **Reply #37 on:** 30 Jan 2008, 16:24 »

I'm not sure about this question, because I think the longest I've ever listened to a single song is a bit less than an hour.
I think I could live with Radiohead's "A Reminder", though.

Also: Wolf Parade - "Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts" and "I'll Believe in Anything", back-to-back for FOREVER would work.

I forgot "Not Unlike the Waves" by Agalloch.
"Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard" by !!! would only present problems insofar as a mere mortal would die if he tried to shake his ass for a long enough period of time. It's like a curse or something.

On Earth As It Is In Heaven - Ennio Morricone (from the Mission soundtrack).

'Gronlandic Edit' by Of Montreal
'No Pussy Blues' by Grinderman
'A Girl Like You' by The Smithereens
'The Ghost of Genova Heights' by Stars
'Dry the Rain' by The Beta Band
'If Love is a Red Dress' by Maria McKee
'Chicago' by Sufjan Stevens (honestly one of his few songs I actually like)
...and almost any Belle and Sebastian song.

That's about all I can think of off the top of my head. But back in high school, five-hour marathons of NIN's 'Something I can Never Have' and/or 'Love You to Death' by Type O Negative were a weekly ritual for me... I wore a lot more eyeliner back then.

I was playing the first Le Tigre album last night, and I once again found that at the end of Eau D'Bedroom Dancing I needed to hit repeat a couple times. Happens every time I listen to the album. It takes supreme willpower for me to move on from that song.

Sheesh, I can't believe this song has slipped back so far back in my mind that I'm this happy that someone mentioned it. I probably like the video that goes with it just as much as the song. If you haven't seen it, it's for the yays.

Holy crap you are right.

I would also take:

several LCD Soundsystem songs: previously mentioned "All My Friends" (and/or either Franz Ferdinand's or John Cale's version), "New York I Love You," and maybe "Tribulations" and/or "Disco Infiltrator."

either "Pieces of the People We Love" or "Whoo! Alright Yeah... Uh Huh" by The Rapture, or a combination of the two.

any of "Loud Pipes," "Wildcat" and "Seventeen Years" by Ratatat.

pretty much any post-Series of Sneaks song by Spoon. Seriously. But mostly "Don't You Evah."

Stars' "In Our Bedroom After the War," tracks 2-10, on shuffle repeat. But that's another topic altogether.

previously mentioned "Equus" by Blonde Redhead.
"Harder Better Faster Stronger" by Daft Punk and any incarnation thereof (e.g., the mashup on "Around the World" from Alive 2007).
"Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand.
"D.A.N.C.E." by Justice.
"Anyone" by Moving Units.
"Portions for Foxes" by Rilo Kiley.
"I Was Born (A Unicorn)" by The Unicorns.
"Raised by Wolves" by Voxtrot.
