Throw out the old gods, Boredoms are the new gods - Page 2

val-holla-ing · 10.29.2007, 07:21 PM

one of my wishes is to see them play. i'd really love that. i could see it taking me out of my body, across the universe, to the inside of a cozy volcano, and into a body of the most tranquil waters while my soul turns inside out with glee and rains on the desert, giving life to dying plants...maybe that's just me, though.

something tells me that it won't happen until i move to new york, next year, though. :-(

I saw them a few years ago and they were one of the best gigs I have ever been to. They are also the only band that got me a complaint from a customer when I used to work in a record shop. I was playing Super Ae and he stormed out saying that it was terrible shite. I put it on even louder.

Hats off to you Sir

I played some to freinds this weekend and they just grinned and went "what???" which is the exact same reaction i had on my first Boredoms exposure.

I hate to make approximations, but when i first listened to Trout Mask Replica i had so much fun, and Chocolate Synthesiser gave me a similar experience. I was on the tube a couple of weeks ago with my big headphones and Anrachy in the UKK came on and everyone in my immediate radius looked at me as if i was mad.
I dont understand this band, but the confusion is beautiful

batreleaser · 11.13.2007, 10:45 PM

im trying to go through my boredoms records and trying to decide whats my favorite. their just one of those incredibly consistent bands whos catalog seems to just blend together into one long masterpiece, i mean they dont have their "exile on main street" or their "pet sounds" yknow, just tons of amazing alblums that all blast you into different realms of outerspace. i sound like a wank, dont i? o well...

atsonicpark · 11.13.2007, 11:13 PM

Yeah.. here's what I think...

1. vision creation newsun
2. wow2
3. super roots 9
4. super ae
5. super roots 6
6. chocolate synthesizer
7. rebore 0
8. pop tatari
9. super roots 5
10. super roots 3
11. soul discharge
12. seadrum
13. super roots 7
14. onanie bomb meets sex pistols
15. super roots 8
16. rebore 1
17. super roots 2
18. super roots 1

Something like that.

Boredoms are noteworthy for having three of the most talented people ever in one band (Yoshimi is just amazing, Seiichi is probably the best guitarist I've ever heard, and Eye is godlike). I tripped last night to Super AE actually, and my friend said, "Boredoms are the best music to trip to." Indeed. Vision Creation Newsun is my favorite album of all time, and Super Going is my favorite song of all time. I know some people who don't like them that much, I don't know anyone that HATES them, but... to me, they can do no wrong. Though Omoide Hatoba is a little bit better than Boredoms are...

Tokolosh · 11.14.2007, 07:00 AM

From what I've heard by Boredoms, I would have to agree with you that Vision Creation Newsun is brilliant and my favorite one so far.
Don't like Super Roots 9 though.

atsonicpark · 11.14.2007, 09:11 AM

Indeed. I think Super AE is probably their, um, "classic" album, the one I'd tell everyone to buy (and the one I'll eventually make a thread for) because it features the best of their old sound and their new song (and is one of the best guitar albums ever). But I like the three I placed about it a bit more, and ... yeah. Vision Creation Newsun is just some godlike thing. I don't even know... I can see you not liking Super Roots 9, but it just blew me away. Just heavenly. No one hits those godhead peaks like Boredoms.

Tokolosh · 11.14.2007, 09:46 AM

The music on Super Roots 9 is great, but I'm not keen on the vocals.
Haven't heard any of the other Roots. Are they similar or completely different?

atsonicpark · 11.14.2007, 03:27 PM

Yeah, all the super roots are different.

atsonicpark · 11.14.2007, 03:38 PM

Oh cool, that thing Pork posted with all the album covers has a Renaldo and the Loaf in the top right corner. What is that, anyway? Eye's favorite albums?

correct me if i'm wrong, and i'm probably wrong, but i think those are the album covers eye has drawn and/or designed.

the boredom's super roots series are the equivalent of sonic youth's syr series.

my favorite right now is vision creation newsun because it makes me truly happy, besides it's artistic values.

hat and beard · 11.14.2007, 10:27 PM

It actually says "Eye's top 53 picks". A lot of them do look like Eye drawings, though.

Why 53?

Everyneurotic · 11.14.2007, 11:01 PM

i downloaded those scans a long time ago and i remember reading something about it being eye's cover art.

but again, i might be wrong in there.

atsonicpark · 11.15.2007, 12:03 AM

Well, I know for a fact that renaldo and the loaf wasn't done by eye.

Hmm.

Oh well -- still excellent, I've heard a few of those albums (just noticed Happy Flowers was in there!), but I'm sure they're all pretty weird/noisey and worth checking out. I wonder if there's a complete list of which album is which, since some of them are hard to tell.

Everyneurotic · 11.15.2007, 12:13 AM

oh, you see, i'm an idiot; the same magazine has a like 6 pages of eye's art, i my fuzzy memory mixed both those sections.

there are no names, they're just numbered, i also just noticed the vox pop disc.

Norma J · 11.15.2007, 02:33 AM

Listening to them now. I need to get me some of this.

the ikara cult · 11.15.2007, 05:33 PM

I'll be placing Super AE on my "next to get" list.
AtSonicPark and Everyneurotic; you are the two biggest geeks who post on here, but you do provide essential information from time to time, and for that i can only be thankful. I trust you more than Pitchfork thats for sure.
Call that a simultaneous-rep.
