genbaku onanies

which translates to: atomic bomb orgasm via masturbation

the first boredoms album title is: "genbaku onanies vs. the sex pistols"

i saw them a few weeks ago and they were (still) awesome.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:46 (twenty-two years ago)

they formed in 1979.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 16 May 2003 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

and still the greatest rock band (in the wider sense) on the planet with or without yamamoto seiichi

― francesco, Friday, 16 May 2003 14:58 (twenty-two years ago)

well I was referring to boredoms, formed later....

punk rock?

i used to think yellow magic orchestra was a pretty hilarious name, but then i realized that i'd have liked it even more if they were called average yellow band.

"Mr. Children" and "Shaka Labbits" are good, but nothing tops the mighty BUMP OF CHICKEN (always capitalized).

― ara, Friday, 16 May 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm almost positive Anal Cunt are NOT Japanese. Instead, may I suggest DJ Pika Pika Pika, Contagious Orgasm, Ultra Bide' (from NY but all members are Japanese), or Ultra Psycho Toast?

Dunno if it's the best name, but I was always partial to Destroy 2 (Eye from Boredoms and Chu from Corrupted & Omoide Hatoba). But even better was when they played as 'Congratulations 2' at Yoshimi P-We's birthday.

MY LITTLE LOVER

They're a pop groop! (Although I would be equally amused if they were a hardcore noise band.) This name is unadulterated genius!

― JS Williams (js williams), Saturday, 17 May 2003 07:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden. Actually a really fine band, faturing occasional contributions from Otomo Yoshihide. I was so sorry that someone else pipped me to Anal Cunt.

"glay

-- A Nairn (moreta...), May 17th, 2003"

Haha. I was looking through this box of old tapes belonging to a Japanese girl and one of them was Third Eye Blind written as 'Third Eye Brind'. I pissed myself.

Anyway, I nominate C.C.C.C. - Cosmic Coincidence Control Center, an awesome Japanoise group.
