Tay Zonday

Danny Himself · 08.16.2007, 09:37 PM

I'm surprised there aren't already millions of threads about this amazing man, myth, and legend. Sonic Youth Gossip, I give to you, Tay Zonday.

Like some ray of sunshine, Tay Zonday has arrived on earth full of happiness and light. And with his keyboard he gives us wonderful songs;

http://youtube.com/watch?v=9mSKBgvHdoE Internet Dream (my favorite)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=u_aY7HZvFpQ and a cover.

Are you amazed, or what?

pbradley · 08.16.2007, 10:09 PM

Why does he hate choruses?

If he was smart, he would have made his name in authentic blues circles instead of on youtube with a shitty keyboard.

Danny Himself · 08.16.2007, 10:12 PM

Both of his songs have choruses written and are distinguishable from the verses when you read the lyrics.

I don't know whether it's all tongue-in-cheek or just tongue-near-cheek..

StevOK · 08.16.2007, 10:19 PM

I thought this board was really going to make it all the way to the end without a Chocolate Rain thread. But I guess I cannot escape Tay Zonday.

Danny Himself · 08.16.2007, 10:29 PM

No love for Tay Zonday? Dang.

...this internet is something else..

drrrtyboots · 08.16.2007, 10:53 PM

Girl Talk and Dan Deacon are taking him on tour with them for 2 dates I think. That's fucking ridiculous if you ask me.

DJ Rick · 08.17.2007, 02:16 PM

I think that makes perfect sense. I'd actually like to see this dude. I enjoy relentless repetition.

Tay's mic technique must've been coached. He's got it cocked at the 45 degree angle, he's got the right distance, the richness of the voice...I'm tellin' ye, this guy can be a great voice-over man for decades to come. The next generations' James Earl Jones.

Onani Nic · 08.18.2007, 03:28 AM

I personally prefer "Demons on the Dance Floor".

Dan Deacon is the one that deserves his own thread:

Danny Himself · 08.18.2007, 09:34 AM

I'm annoyed that he took down his rap song, 'The Only Way'. That was fantastic.

TheDom · 08.18.2007, 10:06 AM

Danny, thanks man. I am a changed person because of this thread.

adam bahner.

Danny Himself · 08.18.2007, 01:46 PM

That really ruined it all for me, for a while... but I can see why Adam Bahner would want to distance himself from Tay Zonday. The character of Tay Zonday is meant to be enjoyed on it's own.

StevOK · 08.18.2007, 06:12 PM

Did you guys see him on CNN this morning?

Danny Himself · 08.18.2007, 06:13 PM

I didn't. What did he do?
