i bought a bunch of 78s from a junk shop recently, and one of them was a jazz track from the 50s called "Boptical Illusion"

Ding Dong Derrida

'moog over my ami'

Actually, "Masonic Boom" is a pretty good one.

My fave.

I find it really hard to believe that there's not already a Stereolab song called, or based on...

Magic Marxist

Moog Memory

Counterphase

sorry, gave it to my pal 78MAN, who should be posting it up some time soon

You realise, the one true tribute album that should be made should be by taking one each of these titles and Making them!

Haha Contenderizer's are great for a specific Stereolab era, but it's kind funny how you can see different time frames in here!

Yah, I guess it's clear that I quit listening at a certain point.

Anyway: Line 6 Nostalgia

Ocular Monotone
Delicate "Ding-Dong"
Her Eternal Crescent

Minge Melodie

Ha, no, Contenderizer, yours don't seem to go that far back. It was mostly just that I saw "Counterphase" and that seemed like it would totally be a Peng!-era track. (I'm not certain it wasn't.)

contenderizer's are very "dots and loops" (opinions4u: the best stereolab era)

d&l is sounding fantastic tonight. i thought it would sound dated because lol 1996 post-rock but it seriously sounds fresher than ever. those drums are so wicked. gonna put on 'fluorescences' next.

D&L is as superb now as it was 10 years ago. Proto-nu-lab.

I miss the electronic current in that album, and longer works like Refeactions, which is spellbinding.

oh back on topic:

(Come to think of it, I'm nicking some of these for the next Shimura Curves album...)

Adorno Disco

^
lol

Read recently that Ernst Bloch, who was altogether more cheery than Adorno, accused Teddy, whose Mandarin contempt for pop culture, and taste for the high life, sat oddly with his Marxism of residing in 'The Grand Hotel Abyss' - which would be a great 'lab title

Cat Food
The Devil's Triangle
Merday Morn

Long ago there was a message board on the Stereolab website where someone came up with "ERECTRO - he held my balls in his iron grip."

I can imagine Adorno-inspired Stereolab track titles but I don't know if they'd mention him directly. Probably something like "Negative Dialectrick" or "The New Categorical Imperative".

"Negative Dialectrick" <-- this strikes me a s something a Coldcut/DJ Food track would've been called.

I really love this thread.

I was trying to think some up but I just kept thinking of pokemon for some reason. So here's my list of pokemon who could be stereolab song titles:

Poliwag

s-lab never outright named their songs after krautrock tracks, did they?

no, just lifted the music verbatim 8) (those two things i mentioned being probably the most blatant, not that i knew it at the time)

and on set lists they did used to use the band names as song titles (NEU, CANNED HEAT, POP VUH etc)

The truth is that Stereolab themselves are the best at making up fake (but actual) Stereolab song titles. I gaped as a young adult when they titled a song Outer Bongolia

I imagined their song titling sessions as being as brisk and hilarious as a comedy writer’s room

I imagined their song titling sessions as being as brisk and hilarious as a comedy writer’s room

lol i imagined them just unemotionally throwing out banger song titles

'yes, i suppose that will do'

Since I'm not going to take the time right now to look at some of their lyrics, do their song titles relate to the lyrics, or are they non-sequitors?

the latter (largely)
