New Order: Be A Rebel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOoyPT6RoF4

Nae bad, but it's New Order by numbers, really...

Hold on, I'm confussed...

In the Bold / Italics / etc post/reply icons, there is 'f' for Flash? Is that AdobeFlashThatIsDead Flash we're talkin' 'bout 'ere?

I believe if you click that button it will expose your genital for all of us to see.

Tread with caution

Also I'm up to S in the alphabetical listening I've been doing for most of the last year. Today I have been on Silver Mt Zion then Silver Sun and now Six By Seven, it has been most pleasurable.

BUT WHAT WILL I DO WHEN I RUN OUT OF LETTERS

Play them all again, but backwards

also there was an article on the bbc about a woman who'd listen to all her LPs in lockdown and all i could wonder while reading it was why was there no bbc article about you vom why do the bbc hate you so much its a disgrace

Haha yes I saw that, she was all like "I have THREE HUNDRED" and there I was on six-hundred-and-something and still going with nobody paying attention to me at all

also I have loads of Various Artists stuff to get through once I've finished the alphabet which might be fun

I remember getting pretty bored of Six by Seven after their first album, but I still really, really love this song:

i'm not sure if i can remember any six by seven songs at all, weirdly. but that one was indeed great hooray

the first album is all very krautrocky but then they went more straightforwardly indie-punk sort of sound afterwards and were never as interesting again

but for some reason I kept buying their albums anyway

as will become clear tomorrow when I trudge through all of them

Invent new letters

Change to extended unicode symbols

Speak in tongues

Die

Finally something to look forward to

I always tread with caution around my beautiful genital.

Super Ball (スーパーボール) - Teenage Superstar On Stage (better quality)

I have uploaded this odd experimental music / performance art VHS tape. Someone already put their own rip of it up but theirs had all sorts of problems (and was weirdly sped up) so this is an upgrade. It's in black and white because it's an NTSC tape and I have a PAL VCR that has to do a weird hacky thing to display it, but it is otherwise intact, and is downright peculiar.

I don't know why I had to approve this post but not the other post you just made, Candy, but I did.

Maybe it contains the forbidden words

i approved the previous post

Hooray.

Also this video's great and strangely soothing

At one point when I first had a dvd player, the scart socket in my tv didn't work, so I had to run it through the scart socket in my video player, and then through the rf socket of that to the tv, which kicked in some sort of copy protection on about 50% of all DVDs, meaning that everything had this strange weird colour pulsing going on most of the time.

Anyway the first dvd i watched through this configuration was Ring, so I never even noticed anything was wrong, and just thought they'd taken the VHS tape conceit of the film to encompass absolutely everything about it, so that it was intentionally an unwatchable mess

But then I watched something else and realised it was not intentional at all

Ring was definitely 7000% improved the way I watched it

I've probably said all that before, but new n3ta means we can re-use all our old content for free now

This is my plans!

That's a positive review quote to put on the back of the video case, isn't it?

Ring was definitely 7000% improved the way I watched it (everything had this strange weird colour pulsing going on most of the time.)

To-day, I listened to my 7 year old nephew making TB-303-style 'acid' warbles on his phone.

What a time to be alive!

That is just wonderfully barking, Chriddus!

why would you do this

This is sort of music related - it's a video of an Australian man demonstrating a Yamaha toy keyboard, which I got that exact same model of as a Christmas present one year in the 80s:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As1ZcWl5XLs

And this is a spoken word track by an infamous US noise rock band that uses the demo function of that same keyboard:

Strangulated Beatoffs - Everybody Loves The Circus

(I may have posted about this before on the old board)

Nice. I have the VSS-200 which I think is basically the same sampling "engine" but with more presets. It's pretty fun but not as immediately straightforward to use as the SK-5.

When I am King, only 8 bit sampling will be allowed.

The Flying Lizards: Summertime Blues

I mean it barely, and I do mean BARELY, hangs together in places, but I cannae stop listening to it. 'Money' sounds like a lush Trevor Horn production, in comparison!

excellent

This is my favourite song at the moment

Ben's My Friend, by Sun Kil Moon

https://youtu.be/sJP-oGBPPh0

That's got a kinda 60s cool jazzy vibe in places. Nice track!

lovely stuff

i bought this album today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC6Ip2zz4As

which wonderfully comes on two CDs, one where the album's played at 45 rpm and the other where its played at 33 rm

also even the little paper slipcases the cds come in are cut to look like the ones records come in, which makes them look about 87% nicer than standard cd paper slipcases

yes, i have some compack daddios like that

black sabbath and the clash

the last time i spoke to my brother on skype, his two daughters (7 years old, 2 years old), stomped round their living room in unison singing iron man by black sabbath together

anyway i hope they sang it at the right speed

Slack babbath

also, excellent news

That's neato! Any album RPM preference at the mo?

I'm currently tapping my claws to Baby Baby by Corona

Will having a jab rid me of the '90s Eurodance' virus that has racked my mind and body?

No

This is an absolutely astounding forgotten track from the bloke who did "Kung Fu Fighting" (as in, "it was a little bit frightening"). It's like a parody but it was an actual single and everything:

Carl Douglas - Witchfinder General

amazing, beautiful

My son, who turned 6 on Tuesday (lawks, where does the time go? Etc.), has discovered Guns N Roses, so we've been listening to Sweet Child O Mine in the car. A lot. He also loves Rush. And 8-bit video-game music. If he finds a song he really likes I add it to his playlist on my phone. He's got about 20 songs on it now, so at least there's a bit of variety.
