ITT: Talk about non-existent music

They may sound dated, but who else can sound that dated and (ironically) have such a cheesy awesome song as "Music is Timeless"?

The lyrics may be ironic, but you can feel that they do, genuinely, love to make music, and I think that's wonderful.

Well, we're off the front page.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, let's talk about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. What an awesome fucking band, you guys should check NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out immediately.

(It's 33 O's, btw.)

I checked them out before. Not really that good.

Yeah, they had one good hit a little while ago, but the rest of their stuff is just based on the same thing. Note for future bands: one word repeated over and over does not a song make.

What? Bullshit. There are only three bands that are better than NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO: King Crimson, Pink Floyd, and Brokencyde. If you disagree, you are wrong.

No, "Dicks" is an awesome song.

^^^^ How about... no?

They're just a louder, more obnoxious Gutter Rock band cloned from the stool samples of that one band named after the monster in some very obscure HP Lovecraft story, Ďäkxnťo*f'ằġhṇzhữvmŗẙtʊ̧q, that also sucks!

I remember them for their gimmick though. One of their singles was used in this cheesy horror movie about listening to this 'song' which will drive you mad (The Ring - music version?) They milked that tie-in for all its worth...not that some people were madly hating that song for being...well, crap.

You people just don't get NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Be more open-minded!

I'm plenty open minded! I can just tell when a band sucks, and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO shouldn't have made it out of the garage.

...

What is ...?

Which was pretty stupid because it was just the track that they played over the closing credits. It wasn't event he actual song that drives people crazy (which would've been pretty funny, you gotta admit, because the song sucks), which, we as an audience never hear, but if Word of God is to be believed, the song the actors were listening to through those spooky headphones was this.

It was me trying to get across that I have nothing to say about your obvious lack of taste.

Speaking of musical Brown Notes, are you familiar with the works of John Harvey Tillinghast? Of course you're not, because you're still alive. Apparently, if you listen to his music, you die.

Then how are you still alive?

I haven't listened to his work. That's why I said "apparently"; I haven't been able to confirm whether listening to his music kills you or not, because I'm not stupid enough to try it.

Back in the eighties, it was possible to find physical copies of Tillinghast's self-titled album (his only release so far); it was fairly rare, but it could still be found fairly easily. Once the government found out that it killed people, they tracked down all the physical copies and burned them; unfortunately, some of it got leaked, and you can find some downloads within the bowels of the internet.

Also, "John Harvey Tillinghast" is not his real name. It's a pseudonym that he got by combining Lee Harvey Oswald and John Tillinghast; nobody knows who the guy actually is.

I've heard rumours that Tillinghast is living under the name of Ed Shipman in Lebanon and releasing doomrave under that name. Still, nobody knew who Ed Shipman really was once "I Was A Musical Assassin" hit the dancefloors, so it's impossible to say for sure. (That one's got a feature for Harold Gein, so definitely check it out.)

Nah, last year some guys from Rate Your Music tracked down Ed Shipman and interviewed him. He was 24 at the time, which means he wasn't even born when Tillinghast's album was banned (in 1984).

Has anyone else tried downloading the album? I found a download on one site, but the site was virus-infested and nearly infected my computer with a nasty trojan. That's why you should always used antivirus programmes before downloading shit.

I haven't, and thank God, I hear it's horrible.

Of course it's horrible, it kills everyone who listens to it.

Does anyone have any ideas as to how one could listen to the album without dying?

Get the notes from online, and play it on a piano?

Little problem with that; apparently reading the sheet music or notes or whatever kills you as well. The government tried your plan shortly after they banned the album, and everyone who read the sheet music died.

Oh.

Well, you're boned when it comes to finding it, then.

What if I downloaded it, and significantly altered the music in Audacity before listening to it? Would that work?

I'm surprised nobody's tried it. If they have, I haven't heard about it...
