I can't imagine ever finding a pub jukebox with 'Sister Ray' on it.

Perhaps the jukebox had a "Lou Reed panic button" where it would malfunction if the particular version of "Sister Ray" was over 2 hours long. The panic button might also be activated if the jukebox was told to play the demo-tape version of "I'll Be Your Mirror" where Lou does the frightening Nico impression, and it might also shut down the system on "Lady Godiva's Operation" after Lou decides that he has to finish John Cale's sentences on every other line, in an unsettling, loud, off-key fashion.

(I really love all those songs, actually)

stone roses "I amt he.. resentment "

I would much rather listen to a song called "I am the Resentment" than "I am the Resurrection" any day. That song title fucking rules! That one's going on my hypothetical band's first album.

The jukeboxes in College don't cut anything off. they have leftism which makes for good value. Born Slippy is also fun. Not to mention Superstylin' by Groove Armada, STILL one of the singles of last year even if noone noticed it slipping by into the night.

MUCH more coherent now...

Seattle tends to have lots of good bar jukeboxes, even in cheezy bars (kinda like the one I was in last night).... even though I'm getting fucking sick and tired of seeing Modest Mouse, Pixies, and Built To Spill on ALL OF THEM.. but anyway.. yeah, it's pretty strange actually. There once was a video game arcade here called Hi-Score that had Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop" and lots of caustic synth punk in one. That will forever go on my Best Jukebox EVAH list.

The thing is: those long songs were cut off at about two minutes! I can understand if maybe the cutoff time was, like, 6 minutes or something... a business is a business, etc. don't keep people waiting for their fave songs, etc. but TWO MINUTES? Booshit.

A terrible bar around the corner from my house has Millions Now Living Will Never Die on the juke, presumably because This is Chicago's Wicker Park and therefore we shall Celebrate Tortoise! Which is fine by me: one quarter got me twenty minutes of "Djed," and all I had to do was pretend to hate it so no one would go off on me for completely screwing up the jukebox timing. I dislike this bar and am often tempted to drop by on a Friday night with a five dollar bill and program in dozens of consecutive playings of "Djed."

Brian, the alternate you is so fun. Bring him out more often.

Groove Armada

I still havent gotten over forgiving them the shaking that ass song. If I have to hear that song one more time I will scream, I mean teh first 50 or so odd times on a Saturday at 11:30pm was ok, the nxt 50 was grating and teh 50 after that was purly pathetic. I meant they stopped playing Bug Powder Dust after one year, Ghetto Superstar after 2 why wont they stop playing Groove Armada? Why? Please is their no god in this world? Why am I on a BBS at 2:30 am smelling like perfume?

haha! oh dear. all of a sudden I am envisioning a Chicago where all the bar jukeboxes are stocked only with Thrill Jockey records, where people groove to 30-min nobukazu takemura freakouts while drinking single-malt scotch. i'm sure this isn't really the case, but still, the images in my head amuse me (hey, what should we listen to while we drink beer and play pool? post-rock or IDM?")

― geeta, Sunday, 3 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah Mr Noodles I hate Groove Armada, and their albums are all shit but "Superstylin'" was a rare flash of genius. Just noone seemed to notice.
