I predict 7 wins by a mile

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:28 (eighteen years ago)

i just came here to vote for 7, not even super coming or zutto can sway my decision.

Just got offed, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:37 (eighteen years ago)

Zutto's pretty weak in my opinion. Super Coming = the beefheart cookie monster jam right?

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:39 (eighteen years ago)

Hourglass is one of my favorites if you haven't heard it.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:40 (eighteen years ago)

Super Are

Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:47 (eighteen years ago)

Zutto

ryan, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:52 (eighteen years ago)

Super Coming is the very same. With the ENORMOUS drums. And the crazy soloing.

SHIT, when I said 'Zutto', I thought I was talking about the opening track of VCN, which is, of course, Circle. Good thing I didn't vote for it! Actually, Star through Spiral is the best thing they ever did but I'm not allowed to count it as one song.

Just got offed, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:54 (eighteen years ago)

I agree with you but have you heard the remix of that segment that fades out to a synth drone in the build up to the break in spiral and then has a scratched trumpet at the break itself! wauuuuuuuuuu!

Some of the segments of 77BOADRUM may be better if they show up on a record.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 02:59 (eighteen years ago)

Super Are

gman, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 03:53 (eighteen years ago)

Super SHINE, you guys! What's up???

morris pavilion, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 04:12 (eighteen years ago)

super shine

sleep, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 05:49 (eighteen years ago)

"free"

the last song they ever recorded.

Steve Shasta, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 06:37 (eighteen years ago)

My shine, my shine

Ivan, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 07:10 (eighteen years ago)

7 takes too long to get into it
I voted Super Going

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 07:16 (eighteen years ago)

best intro out of all of these options.
tbh if you had the sense to include Acid Polizei I would have gone for that instead

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 07:18 (eighteen years ago)

in the suuuuuuuuuuuuuuun.

SUPER ARE.

Super Coming

onimo, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 13:33 (eighteen years ago)

7 takes too long to get into it

Holy fuck, this is SO RONG! If we're not including the intro (which is a separate track), it takes about 10 seconds for the drums to kick in, 1 minute for the guitars, 2 minutes (exactly) for the main riff, 2:14 for the main drum pattern, and 2:39 for the complete riff-cycle. THIS IS NOT LONG BY LATE-PERIOD BOREDOMS STANDARDS!

Just got offed, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 14:31 (eighteen years ago)

this is impossible!!! so many great epics!!! i might vote super going though.

Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 15:03 (eighteen years ago)

actually louis if you listen to it again it's like four and a half minutes before a generally unremarkable instrumental cover turns into the real shit

and I don't even pay that much attention still until about six minutes in when the flanger really starts whipping your head around

but if you normally have a hard time tracking down songs with drums, guitars, and riffs in them, then I guess I can understand your point

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 15:05 (eighteen years ago)

"Super Going / Super Go!!! -> Shine in; Shine on" - yoshimi's best vocal, eye's best edits, yamamoto's best guitar riff

r1o natsume, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 15:11 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah, it does keep getting better and better with those flanging effects and whatnot, but it's 'into it' after two and a half minutes IMO. Your last point is kindergarten-playground level sniping.

Mark Clemente, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 16:42 (eighteen years ago)

First half of LIVWE!! is righteous but 7 is the perfect whole.

ogmor, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:23 (eighteen years ago)

i think i might vote for "go!!!!!" or "seadrum"

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:29 (eighteen years ago)

"seadrum" is the only thing i still listen to very often

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

Super Are I think.

I know, right?, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

"Super Going" which is more orgasmic than "Super Coming" which is why I don't like this band very much.

Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:01 (eighteen years ago)

there's a big gay elephant in the room

moonship journey to baja, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:14 (eighteen years ago)

Are you coming on to me?

Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:22 (eighteen years ago)

oh fucking christ why did you have to come on this thread and agree with me

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:23 (eighteen years ago)

I should retire, right now, and move to a cabin in the woods

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

I'll help you pack, sweet cheeks.

Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 19:24 (eighteen years ago)

Went with "Circle," what I imagine the Big Bang sounded like.

talrose, Tuesday, 27 November 2007 23:59 (eighteen years ago)

Here's a bootleg version of Hourglass/Boretronix from Cambridge 1999 -- same as the main track on VCN disc 2:

Seadrum, imho.

Listen to it on MDMA in the nude with a window slightly ajar.

Mister Craig, Wednesday, 28 November 2007 22:13 (eighteen years ago)

revive

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 02:33 (eighteen years ago)

"Chocolate Out" isn't on here. Or does that not count 'cuz it's several songs in one?

Either way, I still would have voted "Super Shine."

Signed,
That dude that complains about shit missing from polls

Ivan, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 05:00 (eighteen years ago)

woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

burt_stanton, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 05:01 (eighteen years ago)

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 17:50 (eighteen years ago)

Super Roots 1

http://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Out/dp/B000X6RY0K

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:01 (eighteen years ago)

Probably doesn't count because it's apparently TWO MINUTES LONG

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:02 (eighteen years ago)

That track listing is rong.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

nevermind - wow the new version of the cd breaks the long track into all the songs

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:03 (eighteen years ago)

anyway, on the old version, iTunes ripped it as:

POP KISS 1 of 4 0:54
Budokan Tape Try (500 Tapes High) 2 of 4 1:42
Finger Action no'5 3 of 4 0:43
4 (Chocolate *UT ~Pitch at Bunch on Itch ~Machine 3 ~Monster Rex & S*und'A'R*undus ~NUTS ROOM ~EAR?WIG?WEB? ~% Teenage Bondage ~Super Frake 009) 4 of 4 13:16

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 5 December 2007 18:05 (eighteen years ago)

Teenage Bondage is my favorite

not quite a mile! I'm surprised at Super Going coming in second actually

El Tomboto, Friday, 7 December 2007 00:40 (eighteen years ago)

voted "seadrum." nice surprise other people did too

kamerad, Friday, 7 December 2007 00:54 (eighteen years ago)

I guess it came in 2nd because "Super Going" was lumped in with "Super Go!!!!! Shine In Shine On" as one entry.

Mark Rich@rdson, Friday, 7 December 2007 02:11 (eighteen years ago)

Well they are pretty much the same!

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:27 (eighteen years ago)

Surprised that Super Shine got so many votes... Maybe they confused it thanks to the lyrics of Super Going?

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:33 (eighteen years ago)

I should have voted 'Super Coming', that song deserves some sort of prize. I don't normally get synaesthesia, but it really reminds me of chilli-flavoured Doritos, in quite a satisfying way. I haven't eaten chilli-flavoured Doritos in about 3 years.

Just got offed, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:37 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think any britishes/antipodean alternate spelling bothers me quite as much as doubling up on the hockey sticks whenever you talk about hot pepper

El Tomboto, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

much less the actual dish

El Tomboto, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,450,000 for chilli. (0.20 seconds)
Results 1 - 10 of about 8,380,000 for chili. (0.17 seconds)

whatever

Just got offed, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Super Coming, Super Going and Super Are are the best three on that album but I'm not sure which is best.

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:41 (eighteen years ago)

Wikipedia prefers "Chili"

Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

I think the reason I like "Super Coming" the most is that (apart from the JOYOUS chanted refrain) it shows more obvious signs of structure; it coheres in an almost-recognisable rock format, whereas the other two are slightly more abstract. Abstract can be brilliant, but there's plenty of abstraction within "Super Coming" that nonetheless leads us down a perceptible progression. I don't believe this necessarily makes the other two inferior, more that I probably need to keep opening my mind to them!

Just got offed, Monday, 10 December 2007 18:47 (eighteen years ago)

I don't think I've ever said this before but I agree with Louis.

I want to change my vote to Super Are You after hearing it this morning while I was walking to work in the dark. It dies towards the end but the first 4 or 5 minutes are excellent.
