peel's foe, not a set animal, laminates a tone of sleep

completely meaningless ofcourse but it does have some relationship to the whole album concept

we all know about that weird al song that's all palindromes right i know it's OT but i just figured i'd ask ok

GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Thursday, 1 March 2007 07:03 (nineteen years ago)

keith fullerton whitman's "track4(2waysuperimposed)" plays palindromically, if that counts

lucas pine, Thursday, 1 March 2007 07:04 (nineteen years ago)

I think this thread should encompass all rock-related palindromes.

So, I will add:

--Whichever Mudhoney album plays the same backwards and forwards
--All the hidden Palindromes on MC Paul Barman's Paullelujah
--They Might Be Giants' "I Palindrome I"
--That Ruins Black Sabbath medley that plays the same forwards and backwards....

Weird Al Yankovic - Bob Lyrics

I, man, am regal - a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see god?
"Do nine men interpret?" "Nine men," I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No "x" in "Nixon"
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
"Naomi," I moan
"A Toyota's a Toyota"
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

Also: "32123" by DNA (is that what it was called? It sounded like its title!!)

Hey, howbout Angel and their amazing VISUALLY palindromic logo:

http://www.nolifetilmetal.com/images/anglogo.jpg

Reads exactly the same upside-down!

Myonga Vön Bontee, Thursday, 1 March 2007 08:42 (nineteen years ago)

...as does L7 (kinda).

This ain't even remotely music-related, but this "Fake Palindrome" is too good not to share:

Doctor Reubenstein was shocked and dismayed when he answered the ringing telephone, only to hear a strange, metallic, alien voice say, "Yasec iovn eilacilla temeg! Nartsa raehoty lnoenoh pelet gnig, nirehtde rewsnaehn ehw. Deya! Msid! Dnadek cohssaw nietsne buerro, tcod?"

Roffled for like 5-10 minutes when I first encountered that

Myonga Vön Bontee, Thursday, 1 March 2007 09:26 (nineteen years ago)

I saw a band called Yo Banana Boy open for Mouse On Mars once...

palindromic LP titles:

Ole ELO
Live-Evil (Miles Davis)
Wolf Flow (Loop)
