I have all of the albums and ep's.

Which would you recommend to listen to after [I]Bee Thousand[/I][?

EDIT: 8000 posts oh shi

Robert Crumb 02-17-2008 03:11 PM

[QUOTE]I've only heard Bee Thousand & Half Smiles Of The Decomposed. Bee Thousand was my favourite by far. Any recommendations for other GBV albums worth getting? [/QUOTE]

Alien Lanes is usually a safe bet. I'm fond of Propeller

My favorite GBV EP is Sunfish Holy Breakfast of the ones I've heard

If you want to stay the lo-fi path then Vampire on Titus, if not Alien Lanes.

Interstate 02-17-2008 03:14 PM

Thanks guys. I keep reading reviews of Alien Lanes being good so I think I'll get that one next.

Motor Away is a v. good song but its the only one from Alien Lanes that I've heard.

on Bee Thousand, i've discovered that most of the songs arent as bad as I first thought, but there are still a few really stupid ones. and it seems so EASY for Pollard and friends to whip up a song, why cant they just make more good ones?

Anxious 02-17-2008 03:31 PM

Part of the appeal is that there are bits of home made genius just popping up out of nowhere like you're listening to the bleeding of sound out of some ageing rocker's band practice in his garage.

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 03:39 PM

i thought part of the appeal was that they wrote good songs.

Anxious 02-17-2008 03:41 PM

I disregarded the fact that YDload thought there were bad songs on that album because there aren't.

Finally got my hard drive back on Wednesday so I can actually listen to music on my computer again.

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 03:48 PM

the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.

YDload 02-17-2008 03:52 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo;15995285]the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.[/QUOTE]

Kicker of Elves? cause i agree

imo the best song is Smothered in Hugs, followed closely by Robot Boy. i dont really think I Am A Scientist is all that great, even though a lot of ppl do (probably). i think its better when the lyrics arent even close to being about something.

Time 02-17-2008 03:55 PM

I think either Gold Star for Robot Boy or Echos Myron is my favorite. I can never really get tired of the album.

Anxious 02-17-2008 04:02 PM

I love Smothered in Hugs. My favorite GBV song is probably Queen of Seconded Guessing off of [I]Get Out My Stations[/I].

pixiesfanyo 02-17-2008 04:12 PM

Kicker of Elves rules. its the one that has that weird airplane effect on his voice in the beginning.

Anxious 02-17-2008 04:14 PM

Here's the best GBV song since you;ll never find get out my stations unless you search slsk for 10 hours.

ATM 02-17-2008 07:26 PM

[center]One two
Buckle my shoe
Scooby Doo
Humpty what you gonna do?
Lick lick let me lick
Smell let me smell the flavor
And taste the behavior
The way you
Been kicking it while the Humpster was lamping
Fishing and camping
Out renting boats in the Hamptons
Eating good working out and giving charity
Working on my vocal cord clarity
Hell no, I can't front, I been at the crib G-ing
Slapping poontang trying to be the mack pappy
40-dog and pina colada peeing
Making my rounds to keep the Humpty girls happy
If you missed me I was laying in the cut
Wrecking big butts
And scratching my knees
Cuz my homegirl's cat got fleas
That's how it goes
The beat flow-flows
Yo peep the new color of my nose
Representing how we been living
That's how it is
I'm not the biz
But if I was to pick a booger
It'd be a big fat gooey gold plated loogie
But I was born a yankee so I use my hanky
The way I wear my clothes freaks the hos cuz I'm lanky
Speaking of hankies, I like hanky-panky
Especially when the hanky-panky's stanky
Of course ain't gonna be too much stanking
Cuz then my duty would be to give the booty a spanking
I like biscuits and grits on the sausage
And so you know it's me, I wrote some nonsense
Hova glova nivlan blizman glaze niull
The return of the crazy one (you think I ain't?)
Psycho alpha, that means the crazy one
Gold nose lazy one
Skill to kill
I never worked I never will
I'm the original high yellow rich rigger bum
Hookers getting mad cuz they can't make me come
Around their way
Addicted to the way that I play
I like to chew bubblegum
Make them laugh when I'm loving them
I blew a bubble and some Bubble-Yum
Got caught up in the booty
I thought it was the end of her
Gabriella needed an enema
So I put away the broom
And we broke out the vacuum
Sort of like spring cleaning
Humpty Hump's leaning
Into the groove from the fat beat
The pimp slap beat
The yo my head is nodding cuz I'm hooked like crack beat
Hiva-humping
Rip-riva-rumping
Biva-biva-butt-pumping
Rump-riva-rump-pumping
And it just ain't releasing me
The beat's obesity
So fat that it makes me shout
Ah ha this beat's got gout
Not from the worms, from the pork
That you eat with a fork
But it weighs about a ton when it plays
Back to the honeys
The play-booty-bunnies
You know what's real funny to me
When they get up for the downstroke
The look on their face when they almost choke
On the lean butter bean brown hamhock
I got the joke in the chamber and the gun's cocked
It's time to pull out my funny bone and get ready for the fun
The return of the crazy one
Five, six
Humpty's sick
Seven, eight
Just too late
To get the man the help that he needs
Yo, how about some butter beans?[/center]

Cool Kids - [I]Totally Flossed Out[/I] EP

Pretty solid, but then again I listen to rap once every six months. They'll probably be on everyone's iPods when they drop their album this year.

Kyle 02-17-2008 07:49 PM

Ye, that's a cool EP.

The Moldy Peaches - [I]The Moldy Peaches[/I]
Weezer - [I]Pinkerton + Weezer (Blue)[/I]

Beach House- [I]Devotion[/I]

my friend sent this to me and told me to check it out, didn't release it was a leak. pretty cool album though. "gila" and "turtle island" are great

cbmartinez 02-17-2008 08:25 PM

Zmev 02-17-2008 08:36 PM

People under the stairs was an ok movie.

pulseczar 02-17-2008 09:09 PM

that's not actually an OST to a movie, it's a group called People Under the Stairs and that's the album name. what a kooky koincidence!
