The only band who is not a comedy band = manowar.

― dog latin, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 00:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Manowar = animal skins

one does not laugh at manowar. one laughs WITH them.

― dog latin, Tuesday, 28 October 2003 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

This is an interesting train of thought.

Radiohead?
The Neptunes?
The Barron Kni...oh, wait.

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Radiohead = squint and hair.
Neptunes = not a real band!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Every rock band evah: working class posturing

― Enrique (Enrique), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 10:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink Floyd = "Seamus". So ner.

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 11:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but "seamus" isn't funny. It's just sad.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 11:27 (twenty-two years ago)

They tried.

*goes upstairs to dig up quote about Swans*

― Damian (Damian), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 11:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink Floyd="Syd"

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 11:35 (twenty-two years ago)

"I met Michael Gira one night and asked him if he thought his lyrics were very funny. "No," he answered, offended that I would ask. And I said, "You mean to tell me, 'Keep your head on the ground, push your ass up - here is your money,' isn't funny? How the fuck is that not funny?"

Are Tortoise a comedy band?

― dog latin (dog latin), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 14:08 (twenty-two years ago)

Calling a song 'In Sarah, Menchen, Christ And Beethoven There Were Women And Men' was them trying to be funny, they claimed. *collects intestines from floor*

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Tortoise = named after the daftest of all daft animals = comedy band.

+ they use a xylophoe, which is a comedy instrument.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 15:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Art Bears...?

(Funny name.)

― Sam J. (samjeff), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Anal Cunt are 100% serious in everything they write, do and say. Same with Mortician and Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm so glad somebody else has heard Agoraphobic Nosebleed, holy shit!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

As is Anal Blast.

'Keep your head on the ground, push your ass up - here is your money,'

>I'm so glad somebody else has heard Agoraphobic Nosebleed, holy shit!

Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope made my Top Ten for 2002.

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 19:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Shit yeah. Damn I'm gonna go get that album outta the car and play it for all the squares I work with right now ha ha ha.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 20:01 (twenty-two years ago)

It was this board that prompted me to pick up that one album I found used -- 100 songs on a 3" CD? Ridiculous fun.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 20:12 (twenty-two years ago)

The guy who turned me on to them gave me a copy of that very mini-CD that he had been carrying around in his wallet!

ha ha it's not turned up very loud at all and this older Christian lady gave me the dirtiest look just now

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 28 October 2003 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay doom and threat!
