Spirit Phone is all I want to listen to lately. Previous LD albums had a few tunes that knocked it out of the park but here it's like...every single song.

You probably started this thread on the wrong board btw. Actually it should be on about 5 simultaneous boards. Like Kasparov

oh yeah definitely. not sure why I started this on ILM. oh well.
but yeah listening to this over and over I am definitely hearing more Sparks than anything. like outside of Kimono My House I can't think of another album at the moment that's just one insanely catchy song after another like this. I guess for most people it'll be a total overload but this is the kind of thing I've been waiting a long time for.

kind of a low key tune on the album but this is my favorite song of the year:

it's crazy how the songs you overlook at first end up just being the best things
'man-made object' is pretty much my favourite thing on this now, except they all are really

back at it again with a 3rd mashup album
I'm only a third of the way through and already "Floor Corn", "AC/VC", and "Revolution #5" had me laughing like an idiot (though the last one is like, the dumbest joke ever)
In fact I'll say thus far it's even better than the first two. which is saying something.

gotta say I do appreciate how he doesn't use the opportunity to show off his taste and his music collection like so many other mash-up artists do. if 90% of this stuff wasn't instantly recognizable it wouldn't work.
― frogbs, Tuesday, 24 January 2017 14:55 (seven years ago) link
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's "Floor Corn"
when I saw this on Twitter someone commented on that particular mashup and I was like, "there's no way he can make that work"

― jmm, Thursday, 26 January 2017 19:43 (seven years ago) link
I'm impressed that most of the mashups make me laugh in the first ten seconds but he sees the concept all the way through rather than making into a pure punchline. AC/VC works surprisingly well, for example. Never heard his other albums

Would say btw - average quality maybe higher than Mouth Silence, jury out on whether he's bested Crocodile Chop or Born To Cat

I don't think you need to worry about forcing yourself to like it if it's not your thing. I've always had an affinity for slapstick humor that takes the air out of self-serious cultural touchstones — Looney Tunes, Weird Al, etc. Obviously you might like those things and not like Neil Cicierega, but that's just what I get out of it personally.

Yeah his editing skills are legitimately amazing. He has a track called “Don’t” which didn’t make any of the albums, an incredibly cursed mashup of “Don’t Stop Believing” and “Homies” by ICP. At the end he has a bit where it sounds like Steve Perry is singing “Homies! Homies!” to the Don’t Stop Believing hook...I have no clue how he managed to do that. Like even with Mouth Sounds it wasn’t so much “put All Star in everything” as much as it was him making brand new tunes out of it. Idk anyone else who does it like he does.

I remember once meeting Neil C. at a Harry Potter convention, and he was so happy to have someone not talk his ear off about Potter Puppet Pals, but instead about Lemon Demon (or more specifically, the opening riff to "Action Movie Hero Boy").
― hourspass, Friday, 12 February 2021 20:12 (three years ago) link
I followed this guy religiously when I was in high school, not only do I own multiple Lemon Demon CDs I also guest wrote a comic for Farchie Archie. and yet it somehow snuck under my radar that he had made one of the top 10 most viewed YouTube videos of all time (at least it was top 10 when I found it...I assume it's been demolished by two dozen Justin Bieber videos since)
