[greedrex]

ha ha
i don't care what other people say about what i listen to.
I'm trying to "get" where the love comes from, cuz i see / hear no sex appeal in this music..... It sounds very random to me. as in anything goes...
some of super ae sound slike an unfocused the Ex or something....
they belong to the "bands you're supposed to like and in fact you don't", which is not a problem; this thread is cynical i guess, but still looking for good advice / experience from the rocket scientists.

as I told you, you need to kiss him, if not he will never appear

like a perverted genie in a bottle

[davenotdead]

listen to super ae, then listen to it again.

if that doesn't work, get stoned, or deprive yourself of sleep for 48 hours, then put on vision creation newsun. if this doesn't help, then yr helpless

[greedrex]

It took me ages to realise that I quite like the Boredoms, I just don't like them to the point of using exclamation marks. Try just liking them a bit, and see where you go from there.

[Green Magnesium]

I'm by no means a Boredoms "rocket scientist" but they just don't do it for me either.

I do not hate them... I am just totally indifferent. They do nada for me.

[greedrex]

mmm where is the absolute boredoms craze?
you people confuse me.
dare i say i'm disappointed , though relieved?




i will do exactly what Glice said, no more no less.

[Pookie]

I find them tedious.

I'm also surprised by the number of people on here who don't like them.

[amerikangod]

I love Boredoms.

Wait, let me correct that. !!! I LOVE BOREDOMS!!!!!! I don't want you dudes thinking I'm not genuine.


While I like 'Super Ae' and 'Vision Creation Newsun,' it's their vastly different earlier albums like 'Chocolate Synthesizer,' 'Pop Tatari,' 'Soul Discharge,' and 'Onanie Bomb Meets Sex Pistols' that got me into them.

Like you, I once didn't like them. Everything I listened to just seemed like meaningless noise. I'd re-examine them from time to time, but never with any luck. I knew there was something of value there, but I could never uncover it. Then, on one of my revisits to them, it suddenly struck me. In an instant their music made perfect sense to me, I became washed over with joy, and I spent the remainder of the night feverishly downloading and listening to their songs over and over again, barely able to contain myself. By the time the sun came up I was sweaty and still energized. When I forced myself to go to sleep I was kicking under my sheets and smiling into my pillow. I was a happy dude.


I don't know what it took for me to crack them (or for them to crack me.) I think I just stopped trying to make sense of their music. When you listen to them expecting some kind of conventional song structure, you'll be sorely disappointed. Your brain expects something to logically follow, and it doesn't, and then you're put off. You're fighting against it. But as soon as you give up completely and just accept everything you're hearing it suddely makes perfect, natural sense.


Boredoms are brimming with endless creativity. Boredoms are perpetually estatic. You can sense their joy as they play, and it's fucking fun. They are a group of people that genuinely love music and just SOUND in general, and they don't weigh one as more important than the other, pulling equally from both. A burp, fart, yelp, or piercing tone weighs equally with a chord or groovy bass riff. So much so that they just blend it all together. Unlike other acts that try to mash together styles, it isn't oil and water... it becomes something new, and something perfectly organic. You can't quite tell what's pre-planned and what's improvised, but it doesn't really matter.


There's absolutely no pretension to it either. They don't take themselves too seriously, they don't broodingly ponder over their art... they do what's fun for them right then and there, and when it stops being fun they move on to their next impulse. Which is why they sound so different accross their career.


Also, Yoshimi is one of my all-time favorite drummers.

If you can't get into Boredoms, I find that kinda odd. But oh well. One of the best bands ever, of course, but I guess .. um .. well, I dunno. If it doesn't do it for you, it doesn't do it for you. Whatever. Me, personally, I'd consider them the only band currently around that can probably rightfully be considered GENIUS. Mindblowing. Also, they sound absolutely nothing like the Ex... so, uh... but hey if you don't like it, what can I say? You probably just haven't listened enough yet.

As for Rob not caring about Boredoms, Rob is wrong a lot.

I hope they release a new proper album soon. It'll make 2009 for me with the new Sonic Youth and new Lightning Bolt.

bore on.
