I do! I'm trying to think of how I could get it to the PC, even though I have done just that before. I think I still have all the equipment to isolate the track. Let me see if I have the RCA to 1/8th inch jack around. I should!

I have never been covered before!

I see how you are...

But you don't.


Note: this may sound silly but 'Claim to Fame' is slowly creeping up on my enjoy-o-meter.

Jesus, this must be how everyone who isn't an obsessive 80s-video-game-player felt during liker's rampage. I have not heard, or heard of, a single one of these songs.

A few changes here and there. I'm tellin' ya, this list changes like clockwork!

4. Pinback - "Seville"
5. Les Savy Fav - "The Slip"
6. Enon - "Disposable Parts"
7. Faraquet - "The Fourth Introduction"
8. At The Drive-In - "One-Armed Scissor"
9. Moving Units - "I Am"
10. Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"

It is my secret shame that I've recognized maybe 5% of the song titles in this list. Oh, wait, I guess secret's not the best word here. This is not a proper top ten list as it's in no particular order. If that thought blows your mind, consider them all tied for first.

Muzzle - The Smashing Pumpkins

For years this was the song for me and I saw it (and the album that surrouned it) as a damning, enlightening, uplifitng, then again damning treatise on the simultaneously frivolous and inescapably necesssary material world. I later learned it was just some song about a dude getting a divorce. But by then the damage was done and I was halfway to (not) getting a B.A. in philosophy. Whoops.

Army - Ben Folds Five

I include this and the above as the first items on my list because, if I had to pick an all time favorite song, it would be one of these two. Which one it was would depend primarily on whether or not I was drunk.

Fortunately Gone - The Breeders

A simple and incredibly pussy little ditty that I find inexplicably charming.

Cannonball - The Breeders

For years I've been trying to incorporate "the bong in this reggae song" into my personal lexicom as slang for "the best part of an already good situation", but I tend to forget during those rare times I would actually need such a phrase.

Bone Machine - The Pixies

If anyone cares, I derive my screen name from an entirely different Pixies song, one which I actually don't like as much as this one. But calling myself "The Bone Machine" is probably a bit too optimistic, no?

Bathosphere - Cat Power

This (like a lot of Cat Power songs) is a cover of a song I had never either heard nor heard of previously. I did manage to track down the original, but I forget who it's by and I didn't particularly care for it.

Underground - Ben Folds Five

Not as funny as it was when it first came out, but still outstanding.

The Swimmer - Frank Black and the Catholics

Frank Black's post-Pixies work has been spotty at best, but this song's wondeful. The man seems really good at writing songs about suicide via drowning.

Wave of Mutilation - The Pixies

Case in point. For the record, this is the slower B-Side version rather than the original track from Surfer Rosa. Why yes, yes I do think that you care, why do you ask?

Seasons of Wither - Aerosmith

Off their Get Your Wings album. The track before it is about having sex on a train, the track after it is entitled Pandora's Box, and this is the album that features a track called Lord of the Thighs. Actually, all the aforementioned songs are pretty good all things considered, but I find the inclusion of a sort of pre-Goth song featuring an out of tune acoustic guitar in their company to be one of the universe's great mysteries.

Well, gee, Ben. I guess that's <i>one</i> way to not include more than one song from any one band.

I DID post it, the first night this idiotic thread went up.

I AM BEING CENSORED BY THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS OF THIS SITE.

And I took special care to not include more than 1 song from any band, because I knew I'd get flak for doing 5 Rush songs and 5 RATM songs. I spent hours on that damn post...

AND THEN IT WAS CENSORED BY THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS OF THIS SITE.

And now I don't even remember what the list was. I think it was:

Spirit of Radio (Rush)
Killing in the Name (RATM)
In My Time of Dying (Zeppelin)
Rhythm of the Heat (Peter Gabriel)
Streamline (System of a Down)
Stand (Blues Traveler)
Welcome to the Terrordome (Public Enemy)
Sex Machine (James Brown)
46 & 2 (Tool)
Battle in the Mutara Nebula (Star Trek II)

I don't expect anyone to actually see this list, since I'm sure it will now be instantly CENSORED BY THE SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS OF THIS SITE.

by Ice Cream Jonsey » Sat Mar 22, 2003 11:17 am

Your list was deemed too radical for our uncultured mi-

Oh, it's more like you never posted it.

Post it, butttard. Everyone's expecting it to be 5 RAtM songs and 5 Rush songs, so surprise us.

by Ben » Sat Mar 22, 2003 11:13 am

Hey. Why was my list deleted from this thread?

Why am I being censored on this BBS that I have breathed life into for the last several years?

What is going on here?

by ChainGangGuy » Fri Mar 21, 2003 12:50 pm

This list gets mixed and changed around constantly, but here's how it stands currently:

1. Q And Not U - "Hooray for Humans"
2. Mates of State - "A Control Group"
3. Liars - "Mr Your On Fire Mr"
4. Pinback - "Seville"
5. Les Savy Fav - "The Slip"
6. Old 97's - "Time Bomb"
7. Faraquet - "The Fourth Introduction"
8. At The Drive-In - "One-Armed Scissor"
9. Archers of Loaf - "Lowest Part Is Free!"
10. Hot Hot Heat - "Bandages"

Jolene, Queen Adreena cover.
Nancy Boy, Placebo (Single VERSION, this is important, because it is completley different from the Album version. Primarily it is different because he didn't lick my copy of the album version.

Steam, Peter Grabriel (THERE ARE NO FUCKING IGUANAS!!!)

The theme song from GODS, and any song from AWESOME, though they have to be the Amiga versions. This goes under one heading, because it is *Computer Music*.

Recently, I have been *M-I-X The Flower Into The Bowel!""*-itting it up with Parappa the Rappa. That fucking rocks.

More video games musci, I know, but I gotta put in "Just Do It Up" from the original Command & Conquer. This is worth digging out just for that one tune. You cannot find it anywhere.

Musci is a type of Meusli, by the way.

Queen, We Will Rock You, cos, c'mon.
My Vitriol, At Your Feet, (Because he jumped off stage and fell at my feet while singing. + Stuff was happening at that gig, including first *theoretical* girlfriend.
My Vitriol, That Other One I Can't Remember, but the video involves a wall at 90* to the world, which makes sense, but... You have to watch the video.

The Blade Runner Theme, it's so haunting, y'know?
Guano Apes, No Feet.
Or is that No Feet, Guano ??????SAaspes, I can't remember which order we're doing 'em in.

Bechi Nailed Recci, because it stuck in my head alll day long, for 6 days. ALSO: FAN-POINTS for being the first to mention a Robb Sherwin-induced song!
The Jennifer Hammond rendition of "I'm a Cucumber", it's a fucking classic.

Ten Songs I Really Like, and I'm sure as soon as I've posted I'll think of another 30 that should be there:

Tom Waits, Tom Traubert's Blues
Caitlin Cary, Sorry
RIchard Shindell, Transit
Fred Eaglesmith, Water in the Fuel
The Cowboy Junkies, To Love is to Bury
Bruce Springsteen, Nebraska
Camper Van Beethoven, All Her Favorite Fruit
Tom Waits, Pony
Emmylou Harris and Linda Rondstat, All I Leave Behind

...and I'm going to leave it at nine, because I keep typing something and then thinking of something else I like better and erasing it and then repeating....
