Would You the Hater like GYBE more if you listened to them as a comedy band?

Just take a look at their songtitles! No one could seriously be so po-faced!

I think it's something in the water, ie the St. Lawrence, America's contribution of poisonous runoff given as a gift to our northern neighbors.

(Well, I could blame that or I could accuse them of being po-faced, which do you want?)

I think I'd enjoy them more if a) they had more than one idea or b) I liked their one idea better. I could care less about their politics (which I imagine aren't too far removed from mine anyway) and their song or album titles (although the first CD has some neat graphics IIRC.)

I want you to laugh at the title "Revisionist Alternatif Wounds To The Hair-Cut Hit Head"!

― O.Leee.B. (Leee), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 07:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I can't even understand the title!

oh, well "alternatif" means "alternative" in french!

i still own 2 cds by this band. i haven't listened to them in 2+ yrs. i used to like to get high & fall asleep to them in the early years of high school, when i dated this awful stoner girl with pink & purple hair.

See? French is funny!

― O.Leee.B. (Leee), Wednesday, 17 March 2004 07:43 (twenty-two years ago)

They don't have any words do they, so how can they be funny? Unless they sounded like Spike Jones & His City Slickers which, regrettably, they don't.

I'm a big fan, but admittedly, the titles have gotten way out of control (the recent ASMZ album was the worst offender yet).
So, if you like the band, you have to ignore the titles (except for motherfucker = redeemer, because that's just awesome).
If you don't like the band, you can enjoy the titles.

Did anyone see ASMZ at the Scala in London recently?
