"Palmcorder Yajna" perfectly captures this experience (not that I would know). But is it the only song to do so?

Neu!-at least half of their songs
La Dusseldorf-about 2/3rds of their songs

Todd Rundgren-A Wizard, A True Star

read Lester Bangs articles on Kraftwerk and Lou Reed.

Angsty angsty music that excited the hell out of me, not necessarilly "speed" songs:

The Urinals, The Lines, The Fire Engines, The Feelies

Pantera's complete discography. They're a band whose fanbase consists largely of scary, tatooed speed freaks.

byrds 'artificial energy'
"Just a matter of time now till I'll be up in the sky
Coming up on me now, I'm king for a night"

small faces 'here comes the nice'
"he's always there when I need some speed"

Metallica - "Motorbreath"

I like how you quote those lyrics from Artificial Energy but not these!

"Artificial energy
Is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time
Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines
And i'm in jail 'cause i killed the queen."

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 2 April 2004 18:37 (twenty-one years ago)

well i was concentrating on the bit of the song thats about coming up on speed, not the messy aftermath! is that really the last line? i thought it was something different.

― zappi (joni), Friday, 2 April 2004 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I just got it from one of those lyrics websites...to be honest I always thought it was 'cause i killed a queen' which is more of a decadent scenario kind of thing, like running around the sunset strip all messed up.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Friday, 2 April 2004 18:50 (twenty-one years ago)

hmm, i'm not going to tell you what i thought it was, no waaaaay.

xpost that song rules. "Speed, speed, you're not my friend..."

"Amphetamine" by Peter Laughner. And a lot of other 70s Cleveland music.

(There's a whole lot of other songs called "Amphetamine" too, which would be a path to look down.)

Not to take anything away from Palmcorder Yajna, though. One of the year's best singles, if I can be permitted to say that without mentioning Kanye etc etc.
