Neil Cicierega

"10,000 spoons" is a hit

this is the one i was talking about

Hmm not sure I'll be able to listen to my favorite-ever song again without thinking about the gd Chili's song

inspector gadget
payless shoes
death

is it just me or are the sample sources more obscure on average than before

This Fine Young Cannibals/THX sound mix is genuinely beautiful

Ribs almost killed me

yes i was amazed that he was capable of making another "t.i.m.e." xp

I lost my shit when I realized it was Fine Young Cannibals

10,000 Spoons is absolute fire. Album is EOY material for sure.

I don't know if I like this as much as Mouth Moods - maybe it's just my sense that there are more tracks that are just two songs mashed up as opposed to 5 or more. When it comes to Cicieraga I crave madness as much as I crave cleverness and I detect slightly less madness this time. (it's still great, obviously.)

When Closer started I thought 'oh yes!' and when the vocals came in I thought 'oh no ;_;' - two listens and it may have ruined the original for me already. two thumbs up for the rest of it though.

What's the backing track for Folsom Prison Blues?

The illustrious Hoobastank

oooooh shit.

Now I'm stuck in baby prison

I need to listen to the Alanis/Knight Rider one again

oh my god

SPONGEBOB
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

I am not ready for this

I just got to "Fredhammer" and I REALLY am not ready for this

hah probably gonna go through this today or tomorrow now that the Milwaukee Brewers have been eliminated

bells

I don't want to leave spoilers on the thread but holy shit @ "Closerflies"

that's the one that split my brain in half

one half of which was crying for death and the other half of which was like "hahahaha yesss an abomination unto the earth is born"

I'm hyperventilating at "Whitehouse"

this starts out so strong, I can't believe it gets STRONGER as it goes

I have decided that I really need to befriend Neil Cicierega

bells

okay gonna throw this on in a bit should I liveblog y/n

holy fuck this is WRONG

ok "Sleepin'" nearly made me choke with laughter

can we forget about the CLOTHES I had when I was SLEEP
I didn't mean to SLEEP WITH MY CLOTHES ON

look into these eyes
then you'll see the size
of these eyes

the fukin Seinfeld! !! what the fuc!!

Chili's segment was the highlight for me

are you fucking kidding with this

I listened to Sounds & Silence maybe once each back in the day, had a laugh and that was it, forget about them soon after and wasn't aware of Moods. Have been listening to them all again and god damn there's so much here. Part of the appeal is the sheer variety of effect - there's bad jokes (Monty Python/Bon Jovi), good jokes (Ghostbusters), sound collages, 'how the hell did he get away with that' moments (Oasis/Dead or Alive), car crashes you can't look away from (REM/Billy Joel), insane things that shouldn't work as well as they do (Love Psych), classic mashups where the instrumentals or vocals or both are transformed and elevated (too many to mention) and moments of pure transcendence (T.I.M.E.)

I think that does Silence a disservice, but his pure mixing skills and ambition have definitely deepened with each album. Sounds is quite clearly the worst one at any rate.

Excited for everyone discovering him! Hopefully they'll all end up checking out Spirit Phone too...

btw if you thought that I wasn't voting for 10,000 Spoons in the EOYs, you thought wrong

idk if this is the best one yet but it's definitely the funniest. the way he rearranges the lyrics on so many of these songs just kills me. idk of any other mashup artist who makes it sound this seamless

also wanna say parts of this album are absolutely CURSED

"wah" to the ending is pure gold. well, "brithoven" is just a goof, but everything else, gold.

yeah "Wah" made me lose my mind

at the end I was thinking "I hope this transitions into Feel Good Inc" and my man delivered

The genre is listed as "Dream."

lmao at this comment

Pee Wee Inc is what you'd think Insane Clown Posse would sound like if you'd never heard of Insane Clown Posse

oh lmao I just got the joke on "Ribs"

ohhhh

is it about the marilyn manson story?
