theremin thereminOG 2002

hahaha true

iwz iwz

are you a fan of Melt Banana?

theremin thereminOG 2002

Never heard of them. I should check it out?

iwz iwz

they're also japanese. they're also noise rock or japanoise or whatever. they sound a lot more like grind than these guys tho, so you might not like them.

i personally can't stand them.

theremin thereminOG 2002

actually.. of what videos I've posted, not all the sides of Boredoms is shown... their song styles are varied (maybe not too much but a bit)... so, yeh, Boredoms do have more 'noise' side to them in certain songs - I didn't post any of those - thought these would show a little more about them - just posted those latter 2 for what on Earth!? effect... other times tho they could be tribal drum and bass or ambient or experimental or noise or kinda electro-psyche as in the first one. ..

i'll still hafta hear that band you mentioned and see what I think

Yeh, there's some similarity. I guess it's stuff that might be good in certain moods - that's what the case is for Boredoms as well, I guess you could say. Talented, but drive you insane, if I'm honest. More than worth seeing in Concert tho ...Boredoms, that is.

I'm sorry I didn't know about what they did last year in Brooklyn.
on 7/7/07
they got 77 drummers together
playing in sync
outdoors in Brooklyn

Had to be extremely sweet
Once in a lifetime event

I knew nothing about it!

iwz iwz theremin

definitely have to been in a certain mood. i rarely get into that mood though, although i can't say i've never been there.

that's really cool about the drummers!

brotherman - let me see your kids do this with chopsticks

One of the members of Boredoms, also is a member of a band called Grind Orchestra (I think it's called). Just found that out last night & haven't listened to them yet, but I'll hafta check them out as well.

Haha... I'll look at them later.

theremin thereminOG 2002

I'll challenge you to watch them all and in completeness - from start to finish. We'll see if you last the, let's face it.. torture.

Wow.... What inhalant were you using when listening to this ungodly mess... My kids could beat chop sticks on shoe boxes repeatedly while screaming the Barney theme song and make a better sound....

theremin thereminOG 2002

I was ready for this comment. Hey, if you say so - but I'm serious about my music, all joking aside, (afterall, I'm a musician myself & I say that without feeling guilty) which I'm sure everyone already knows - I'd buy an album by Boredoms (I truly see the creativeness and talent of them - altho some of their stuff I like better than others... & I don't do it for shock factor, as several probably view my tastes and me as person as pretentious) , whereas I wouldn't buy an album of an interpretation of the Barney theme song (I can't see where the creativeness and talent in that would be - nevermind hating the Barney theme song). Something like chopsticks to a Barney songalong would hardly expand my mind, or help me feel better or expound present mood... it would irritate me, just as Boredoms apparently (no surprises) irritate you.

To get serious, in these past several weeks, I've been in two car accidents, my band of more than 4 years broke up, and my last grandparent died. I've been having a rough (un)pinic. I go to music to keep me going, especially with less and less tangible friends month by month.

I'm amazed by Boredoms and the power of what it takes to orchestrate what they do. The concert is without doubt gonna be worth going to, and will make me feeeeeeeeel gooooood. ...I'm hoping. I'm proud I have the capacity to enjoy music - no inhalant needed. When it comes to music, I get easily offended. I'm aware of this and sorry. I like what I like tho. Calling it ungodly will hurt my feelings, but not change my tastes.

Ian pushed me to say something. He should have been quiet and I wouldn't have even looked at the links. Haha... Obviously my comment was over exaggerated for comedic purposes.

Sorry to hear about all the stuff you are going through.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Bruv, I'm sorry as well. I've had a lot bottled up. You didn't have any idea what's going on so it's ok. I shouldn't have even probably mentioned it for sympathy. Hey, we all experience tough times. I venture to say you have.. without even really knowing you. You were pushed a bit to say something in response to the music since your name was mentioned.. that's not Ian's fault.. I take responsibility. I already expected nonacceptance, but I should've been more able to handle the non accepting comment, if I was gonna go ahead and exploit that band and those videos - I did afterall not really like the latter 2 songs myself anyway - and was comedic in a way on my part and maybe on the borderline of entrapment.. It's actually more of their stuff like the first song that I like - without the wackiness. The latter two are just for fun and lightheartedness. I have to learn to let things be said and not let it bother me. We all have the same right of freedom. Tones are hard to bring out in writing so I guess I took it harsher than you meant for it be. If you said the same comment to me face to face, maybe it would have just been let go and dismissed straight away. Anyway, thanks for the apology.
