What's the sound in your head?
 
At the moment, I can't get out of my head some bits and bobs by Ashtray Navigations, Astral Social Club and a fellow poster's music. There's one particular live-on-record soundbite by Ashtray Navigations that I just can't help but being obsessed with, and it sounds like the dentist's drill inside the mouth of a patient all too happy to recieve the treatment. Astral Social Club's Chain Reaction is also so ridiculous, it's genius. In general, anything sun-kissed and super noisy.

I've no idea why, but all morning the sound in my head has been Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues. I don't recall having heard it on the radio or anything, but it's there anyway.

Bicorn Halfelven 06.01.2007 07:20 AM

An oppressive shriek, somewhere in between Tony Conrad's violin & King Diamond.

Iain 06.01.2007 07:29 AM

What I'm listening to which is a Krautrock comp although the side I am listening to at the moment is dominated by jazzy bummers like Wolfgang Dauner Group. This isn't a 'what are you listening to?' thread, I realise that, so I'll say that I've got Royal Trux secretly playing in my mind, competing for brainspace against the aforementioned jazzy German bummers.

MellySingsDoom 06.01.2007 08:17 AM

This morning on the way to work, my cranial jukebox was blasting up the theme tunes to "On The Buses", "Mind Your Language" and "Bless This House".

Right now, it's playing the theme tune to "News At Ten".

There's a great deal of pleasure to be had from forcing the theme tune to "Bod" into peoples' cranial jukeboxes.

i just watched return of the jedi, then empire strikes back, now i'm going to watch the begining of rotj again, so i can enjoy the rescue of han solo one more time. in conclusion: my head is awash with all things star wars.

i might even go so far as to say i'm feeling generous enough to forgive george lucas for latterday effluvia.

Rocket U.S.A. by Suicide.

I can't get it out of my head. I'd like to be able to listen to something else on my ipod rather than this one song....but the voices in my head command it. :(


PS: for fuck's sake where did the Gibby thread go??

Oooh nice! Brotzmann isn't a jazzy bummer though. The term jazzy bummer came up the other night when me and some friends were watching a dvd 'Electronica Magazine' type thing and there was mention of Jazznova or something similar. They are jazzy bummers...people who make noodly, jazzy krautrock are jazzy bummers...most jazz fusion is made by jazzy bummers...people who have goatees, wear berets and listen almost exclusively to Blue Note recordings, Bebop, Hard Bop and other 'cool jazz' are, if such people actually exist, jazzy bummers.

schizophrenicroom 06.01.2007 11:25 AM

the chorus to "ex-girl collection" by the wrens

atsonicpark 06.01.2007 02:55 PM

I always have that second song from Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut in my head.

Pax Americana 06.01.2007 05:19 PM

After listening to some old So-cal punk shit, I've had "Bloodstains" by Agent Orange stuck in my head all day. Good song.

PAULYBEE2656 06.01.2007 05:44 PM

 

being a bit reconsumed by them at the present.....

gmku 06.01.2007 07:04 PM

Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Played it for the first time again in about 18 years last night, and it's sticking.

_slavo_ 06.02.2007 05:13 AM

Feist - My Moon My Man

Hell, this song has been stuck in my hand for past two weeks now. And no way I can get it out of there.

screamingskull 06.02.2007 05:32 AM

endless ringing from too many loud gigs.

AND

When Yer Twenty Two by THE FLAMING LIPS

Glice 06.02.2007 07:38 AM

A tone cluster from Ligeti's Clocks and Clouds. Although on a day to day basis it's the first vocal refrain of the Carpenters' Goodbye to Love or the first bar of the solo.

AIDS wolf played last night at a friend's basement, and it was loouuddd

Danny Himself 06.02.2007 12:23 PM

"Mezinka", a traditional wedding song. Jewish, I think.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tuwsto0jvf4

The only video I could find of it on youtube. Perhaps you can understand now why it's all I've listened to for about 12 hours.

Green_mind 06.02.2007 06:11 PM

I've got that pavement song embedded deep inside my brain, don't remember the name, but the droney words are, "living in your best friends arms".

Danny Himself 06.02.2007 07:23 PM

'Best Friend's Arm'.

pbradley 06.02.2007 08:15 PM

Jimi Hendrix's "Machine Gun" (band of gypsys recording).

Alex's Trip 06.03.2007 12:37 AM

Some Xiu Xiu, and This Song Is A Mess But So Am I.

schizophrenicroom 06.03.2007 12:40 AM

sellouteater 06.03.2007 01:54 PM

custom concern by modest mouse the part where issac's like "gotta go to work gotta have a job" ironicly I'm bored at work right now

Green_mind 06.06.2007 10:53 AM

I've got this song, melody in my head of some words I made up inside my head, it goes:
swarm of bee's
come fly with me
we'll find a nest
in this torrid mess
If anyone reads it out can you please record how you sing/speak these little words on to your computer and send it to fairy_ass2@hotmail.com, much joy and appreciation if you do.

MellySingsDoom 06.06.2007 06:19 PM

The theme tune to "Bless This House".

Earlier today, it was the Paul McCartney and Wings version of the "Crossroads" end credits theme.

demonrail666 06.06.2007 06:21 PM

New Macca album out on Monday. Double thumbs from DR666 Towers.

sarramkrop 06.06.2007 06:24 PM

Starbucks are selling the single, as well as Macca limited edition phone cards.

Hopefully there'll be the (inevitable) video, where Macca is a) playing all the instruments himself, b) acting self-consciously matey with the public (cf. the "Press" video) and c) doing his soulful-eyed direct-to-camera bit (a la "the Long And Winding Road").
