Let's list! Records to clear a room:

posted by Lang'uid Squal'or, a student of the transexual art on August 10, 2001

These would be records that YOU personally like, can enjoy listening to, but would most likely clear a room of unwanted party-stayers, long-talkers, glommers, etc, THAT WON'T GET OUT!

1] any YOKO ONO, especially the 30 minute "Cambridge 1969" which is her screaming over John's feedback. Awesome.

2] MAGMA: Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh- this cd has the longest track repeated at the end, and is punctuated by a piercing electronic hum somewhere in the middle that makes it sound like your stereo is about to give birth to a retarted toaster!

3] LOU REED: Metal Machine Music- I don't have the new cd reissue of this yet, but the vinyl has a locked groove on side four. When (if) it ever reaches that point, you and your party-leeches will be locked in an endurance test for who lunges to the turntable first!

What else?!

Comments

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy:

either his latest live album recorded in Chicago in 2000, or "Retro Rocket Back to Earth"

Fred Lane: either record

King Uszniewich and his Uszniewichtones: "Twistin' and Bowlin", "Teenage Dance Party"

Dick Hymen: anything you have on hand, the man is a MASTER of schmaltzy organ playing (and the name speaks for itself)

Einsturzende Neubauten : Halber-Mensch

Early EN is just a lot of noise to most people, and while it's irritating, it's not 'get me outta here!' noise. By Halber-Mensch, though, there were hints of 'music' creeping in to the noise, making it at once more accessible for some more ghastly and unlistenable for some. The discordance between the noise what sounds like it should be music is very upsetting for people.

We all NEED to burn each other a best of GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! cd, these would serve a valuable funtion!

When my apartment in Dallas got burglarized, I afterwards never left the house without putting some sort of juju in the window (dog skull, pentagram, etc) and leaving a tape of something awful playing, usually the HUNTING LODGE lp which I had recorded both at 33 and 45 on a crappy sounding tape, just to ward off the baddies.

These ideas we're sharing here today are NEWS YOU CAN USE people!

McDave,

I'll always hold Einsturzende Neubauten dear to my heart for the time that we played them in the store on Halloween... Damn near got through the whole record, as I recall!

Posted by: Hoyt at August 10, 2001 10:20 AM

Right on! That EN record came with a 45, DAS SCHABEN ("the scrape?") which I think is on the cd version, but it's another record that sounded good on 45 AND 33!

Yesterday I got my first package of "free" cds from columbia house, the Strategies Against Architecture was "temporarily out of stock," grrrrr!

I'm streching here, but it qualifies in that I listen to the record and enjoy it, and the song irritates the LIVING HELL out of most folks:

Flaming Lips: "Hit To Death In The Future Head", the last song. One note, repeated in a machine like cadence, for around 10, 15 minutes. A fun one to put on and then "excuse oneself" for awhile...

yeah, that's a real killer in the mutli disc when you're random shuffling!

ronnie bond always got drunk and started playing slade records. that usually did it.

metal machine music is so mild sounding these days.

albatross usually does it all on its own, nest pas?

dammit! this is on the tip of my tongue. going back to the 80s, SST records, huge freaky looking fat guy, kinda looked like a mix between jackie gleason and screamin' jay. record was called mutando mutanis or something. google is no help. sst is denying his existance. lep, help, help...

this guy made fred lane top 40 friendly.

Posted by: dick at August 10, 2001 11:58 AM

Yeah, DJ, that was Strategies Against Architecture. It was so great playing that during business hours. Heh.

what about Leichenschrei by SPK?

Posted by: ttk at August 10, 2001 12:49 PM

you may recall the classic 'lyric' from Leichenschrei:

'then the director tried to give me syphillis by wiping his cock on my sandwich.'

Posted by: ttk at August 10, 2001 12:51 PM

Yeah. The screaming on that one is pretty good, too.

Posted by: mccreath at August 10, 2001 12:52 PM

troutmask may do it, too.

Posted by: ttk at August 10, 2001 01:08 PM

yeah trout mask replica may still clear a room, that's entirely to its credit of of course!

congratulations, TOM! that's it, now i can sleep tonight. Unless Island of Living Puke is on, of course. I used Zoogz to clear out all the ultra sincere alterna-kids in college.
