TV SHIT
 
I recently bought this little EP. I laughed really hard the first time I heard it. I knew what to expect from a sample but it was still a shock. I have grown to like it like a small SYR record. I just want to know what the writing is on the back. What is it referring to? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

iT'S cool to have, I guess.

Yea it's definitly for collecting purposes but still provides an interesting listen every two weeks or so for me.

No. It was a waste of money for me. I traded it in.

Yeah it is a pretty harsh cd.....I'd never sell it though. I think I paid close to 20 bucks for it back in the day.

sonic sphere 07.26.2006 06:08 PM

it's great! i think the writing on the back is referring to a piece of music by stockhausen

have to check the lp, haven't listened to it for a long while, see what is on the back...

Chris Lawrence 07.26.2006 11:32 PM

"Gesang der Jünglinge", the name of the Stockhausen piece, roughly translates to "Song of the Youths", so I think that may be the connection...

Love The Ep. Not For Any Musical Quality But Just For The Sheer Tv Shit Of It All. Damn Fine Release. Got Mine On Amazon For Like 1.99 A Few Years Back....

Well, that will definitely get you out of bed. :eek:

I used to listen to whilst stuck in traffic, it was rather cathartic. I think my copy's at work right, otherwise I'd be giving it a listen right now.

i usually have a lot of difficulties with getting up in the mornings... but that ep surely does the trick.

i also used to blast it on my discman in the mornings sometimes (like when i didn't have time to make coffee before leaving the house). it's very convenient that it lasts only 8 minutes or so, because by the time you've had enough of it it's finished and you''ll be awake for the rest of the morning.

i like the idea of listening to really harsh things to wake up in the morning, but i have the feeling it already scares my neighbours to listen to not-so-harsh loud music in the morning when i wake up...

k-krack 07.27.2006 12:28 PM

i got it with two other sy singles on ebay for 3 dollars. so i guess i got what i paid for, it isn't very interesting. just feedback and screaming... i do listren to it soemtimes though.. rarely
