Walsingham Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I've just signed up for a 'certain' subscription music service*. It's quite fun. BUt Im running out of ideas to listen to. So I thought, "why not get the Obs-monkeys to nominate tunes for me to listen to?" Then I thought: "They'll never go for it. It's not evil enough." So I'm selling it on the grounds that you bastards give me 5 tunes that are awful each day. I listen to them. Pain ensues. It'll be like MST3K, but without the humour and robots. Only one nomination per person per day. First come first served, so to speak. *I'm not going to endorse it because a) it's cheesy, and b) I don't know how it compares with anything else. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Xard Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Hahaha, easy one The Starship - We Built This City Half-officially worst song that was sometime popular ever How can it be a no ob build. It has PROVEN effective. I dare you to show your builds and I will tear you apart in an arugment about how these builds will won them. - OverPowered Godzilla (OPG)
Walsingham Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 Hahaha, easy one The Starship - We Built This City Half-officially worst song that was sometime popular ever Listening now. It's like... well... it's bloody awful. "Marconi plays the mamba"? I mean what does that even mean? A mamba is a kind of snake. I can only assume that it's a metaphor for how bad this song is. BTW, anyone who double nominates a song I've already heard through this thread forfeits their go. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 So I can nominate any song? And you'll listen to it? "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 LOL... Okay, well try this on for size... "Ulver - Wolf & Man", I really like the song BTW, but I can percieve it as being torment to the average ear... tee hee SUFFER. "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
taks Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 anything from skinny puppy. taks comrade taks... just because.
Walsingham Posted June 16, 2008 Author Posted June 16, 2008 anything from skinny puppy. taks Lazy! Nominate! Ulver - actually fine. My only problem is the recording quality, which turns the whole thing into less of an aural assault, and more like listening to someone else's headphones on the bus. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

It should be noted that I adore Joe & Eddie, but I'm probably one of the few under 50's who've ever heard of them... See, now that's what I call torture! It's like a made to measure fething mobile-phone ad soundtrack. I can just see some whimsically bleach-lit montage of a man kicking a penguin down the steps of the Vatican. "It wasn't lies.

I never thought of it that way... it's an African American folk song about escape from slavery.... but mobile phones work too, I guess... Anybody here catch that? All I understood was 'very'.

theslug Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 fergie - my hump There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Baley Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) You haven't been in here ages Yeah, like I was gonna miss a chance to post less than 10 words. And by the way, my post should've been beneath Walsy's. No sexist. Edited June 16, 2008 by Baley
Enoch Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I apologize in advance for this. No subscription needed: Newsong -- The Christmas Shoes. (I strongly caution people who are not Wals from clicking the link.) This song actually gets mainstream radio play in the States in November and December. And they did a made-for-TV movie based on the song. Horrifying.
Pidesco Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 That song makes me want to kill babies. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
Gorth Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Go listen to Aqua - I'm a Barbie Girl for some mindblowing, mental numbness “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Walsingham Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 I'm listening to these later today. Need sleep now. Xard's sig dances almost exactly in time with Toots and the Maytals 'Louie Louie'. ...Wot, no ska? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

samm Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 If you can't sleep and have to listen to some other awful songs to get tired of: Try something from DJ Bobo. I recommend Chihuahua Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
Walsingham Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 Newsong: I actually found myself weeping with pain when the children's chorus kicked in. Totally unplanned. It was just so unbelievably wrong. Everyone involved in this video should be strapped to a pallet and airlifted to Mogadishu as a means of giving the warring factions common cause. "It wasn't lies.

SteveThaiBinh Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 A friend at uni was a mad Take That fan. A Million Love Songs is still the soundtrack to my nightmares, so that's my recommendation. Unless you can get Thatcher reading the Gettysburg address, of course. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Walsingham Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 Chihuahua - Light and catchy. Vacuous, but not actually bad. Rather like eating Wagon Wheels. A Million Love Songs - You know how some things are quite good when you revisit them as an older chap? This isn't one of them. I knew TT were bad as a kid. They're just excruciating now.
