Mine was "Rude Bwoy Thug Life", courtesy of Mr. Perpetua.
And you?

Pink Floyd - "Echoes" waaaaaaaay back in the day

"Ignition (Remix)"

The last song I had on replay for four hours, WHA? I can't think of anything in my life that took four hours to get digest. I do hope that is not taken in a slanderful way...

FOUR HOURS?! I think I've gone maybe four repeats at the most before being sated - and that's when I'm really *crazy* about a song. The last time may have been "Ocean Man" by Ween, though I'm kind of bored by the song now.

Eno's "Thursday Afternoon" for eight hours, while sleeping.

― otto, Friday, 5 March 2004 05:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I played E2-E4 a few times in a row

Pink Frost by the Chills. In 98. I had it on repeat for a LONG time, don't remember exactly. My housemate said, "are you still listening to that fucking song?" The next day I heard something funny from her room. Pink Frost. Over. And over again.

There's an EP CD of 5 remixes of Rammstein doing Depeche Mode's "Stripped" that I would listen to during 14 hour writing stints. It was, like, ambient.

― Ian Grey (Ian_G), Friday, 5 March 2004 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

It's not so much to digest it, as much as it is that the song itself fulfills a feeling and perpetuates a mood.
Though occasionally it IS to understand it, I suppose. I put Coltrane's "Naima" on for three days straight once and can now play it back in my head whenever i want to... sounds like when i'm in love.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 5 March 2004 05:57 (twenty-one years ago)

The first song that I remember putting on permarepeat was the chameleons UK "swamp thing"... anybody remember that one?

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 5 March 2004 05:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Longest I've ever done is maybe an hour of "Car Song" by Elastica, during my first time listening to the album. This was in a computer lab at 3am, working on some sort of 3D Studio crap.

― Poppy (poppy), Friday, 5 March 2004 07:09 (twenty-one years ago)

"Helter Skelter" was for a long time, but not four hours. Also, "King of Carrot Flowers Part 1."

― Ian Johnson (orion), Friday, 5 March 2004 07:13 (twenty-one years ago)

longest i've ever gone was probably about an hour... well two 30 minute blocks before and after one of my classes. it was barrington levy - "broader than broadway"

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Friday, 5 March 2004 09:21 (twenty-one years ago)

i think that i have played a godspeed you black emperor twice in a row so thats about 4 hours, right?
(rimshot sorta)

― todd swiss (eliti), Friday, 5 March 2004 09:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't think I've ever repeated anything for four hours but I can understand repeating something like Pink Frost. I've repeated that for about an hour once. Incredible song.

― Mark Harris, Friday, 5 March 2004 10:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I listened to Mazzy Star - Fade into you for a whole day..

― Bob Gold, Friday, 5 March 2004 11:08 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, "Ignition (Remix)", by far (which is weird because I hadn't done that for ages...maybe the last time was with "God only knows" !)

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Friday, 5 March 2004 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

"Rude Bwoy Thug Life" is great, but 4 hours of it would be 60+ repeats. I have too much other stuff to listen to.

I think I repeated "So Much Love To Give" for a about 45 minutes once, but that's only 4 plays.

― Nick H (Nick H), Friday, 5 March 2004 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

well, 4 hours replay works if you play it and leave it when you go to bed and don't put the timer on... after a while you'll be too tired to get up and switch it off...

― AleXTC (AleXTC), Friday, 5 March 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Well lately I've become addicted to Manowar's Achilles, Agony and Ecstasy, which lasts for 30 minutes. Four times in a row does make two hours tho'. Repeater since yesterday: the eight minute song Ultravisitor by Squarepusher. But four hours will cause hart failure I'm afraid..

― Roger in Mokum (Roger T), Friday, 5 March 2004 12:57 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't understand how you can listen to any song (or album) over and over again. it drives me completely mad when people do that. at least put your headphones on first!

― tod (tod), Friday, 5 March 2004 13:01 (twenty-one years ago)

franz ferdinand "take me out"
olé olé "no controles" who knows that song ? probably not much

― J R EWING, Friday, 5 March 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

may have been "Ocean Man" by Ween, though I'm kind of bored by the song now

me too! until the damn Honda advert. Fuckers

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Friday, 5 March 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Honda are fuckers, not Gene and Dean

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Friday, 5 March 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I've never listened to one song for four hours - nor can I understand why anyone would want to!

I may possibly have played Trout Mask Replica continually for that length of time when I first got it (but then it is a double album so that's only three times through from end to end!) but that's as close as I've been.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 5 March 2004 16:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Wha?! I've never taken anything to that extreme. Once I played "A Horse With No Name" for like half an hour (adding my own percussive contribution with my fingers and an empty potato-chip can), but that's all. (No, I can't remember why...)

Actually, there've been times when I played "Tubular Bells" (on 8-Track!) for hours at a time, but only at bedtime so that doesn't count. (It never taught me a thing, sleep-learningwise!)

― Myonga Von Bontee, Friday, 5 March 2004 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

My heart is warmed by the "Pink Frost" love in this thread. While I've never personally repeated it for four straight hours, I can't imagine it would get old in any way.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Friday, 5 March 2004 16:44 (twenty-one years ago)

>"I listened to Mazzy Star - Fade into you for a whole day.."

that's a good song to spend a day with.

― eleki-san (eleki-san), Friday, 5 March 2004 18:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Once I played Yo La Tengo's "Speeding Motorcycle" about nine straight times but it was over in considerably less than four hours.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Friday, 5 March 2004 18:04 (twenty-one years ago)

You guys are making me feel like I'm weird or something.
Ah well. Repetition breeds leprosy or something like that.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 5 March 2004 18:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Yesterday I listened to Cee-Lo's "The Art of Noise" about six times in a row. Does that count?

So we had racoons in the attic, alright?
I set up my stereo upstairs and put on the track "Goriri" by Tortoise (offa Macro Dub Infection Vol 1) on repeat and tres loud, and pointed the speakers up from the shelf in the bedroom closet. Then I left the house to go to work.
I returned from work only to find that my speakers were blown.

a college roommate once left "Shape of my Heart" by Sting on repeat all night. I was too drunk to get up and turn off the CD player. =(

― Gear! (Gear!), Friday, 5 March 2004 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

I stayed in a house for a couple of months and there was guy who was the most depressed guy in the house. He had Papa Roach "Last Resort" scheduled to play really loudly as an alarm to wake him up. One day he wasn't around and his alarm went off blaring that song for hours. People eventually thought that he had killed himself. He didn't, unf.

Oh wait, now that I think about it, the first time I heard the bitch where'd the muthafuckin cheese go at version of "Where'd The Cheese Go?" I listened to it on repeat laughing my ass off the whole time drunkenly from 1:15 am until I passed out approximately 3:30 am.

For two or three days last week I couldn't stop ;istening to to Liz Phair's "Polyester Bride." i'd listen to it like 5 times in a row, then put on a different CD/i tunes playlist, then listen to it agian a bunch of times in a row, then switch back.
I have no idea why. It just felt right.

― Randy Reiss (undeadsinatra), Friday, 5 March 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

@dean, i love that story.

― eleki-san (eleki-san), Saturday, 6 March 2004 03:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I fell asleep and woke up to Storm by GY!BE on repeat the other day... does that count?

― Stephen, Sunday, 7 March 2004 00:54 (twenty-one years ago)

spacemen3 "evening of contemporary sitar music" on repeat for I have no idea how long

― superultramega (superultramarinated), Sunday, 7 March 2004 18:13 (twenty-one years ago)

nine years pass...

drove around today alternating smog's 'bathysphere' and jeremih's 'fuck you all the time'. very mesmerizing push/pull between the two.

― viacom dios, Friday, 10 May 2013 02:50 (twelve years ago)
