!!! - “We Were Stoned When We Thought Up The Title Of This And We Didn't Want To Give It A Name That We Had To Explain As 'Oh Yeah We Were Stoned When We Thought Of It' So We're Just Calling It Improvisational Jam 11-02-01”

good song tho

i disagree, it's a throwaway noise song, boring riff, shit lyrics. and the title is so good. easily my least favorite in utero era song, including 'gallons of rubbing alcohol...' (fantastic title, great genuinely disturbing music & lyrics) and 'the other improv' (absolutely chilling). i love all the in utero era songs but man what a waste for 'i hate myself and want to die.'

Is it the one where the chorus is like "Its someday, its someway" ?

Mark G, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 21:52 (six years ago) link

yeah

flappy bird, Tuesday, 2 January 2018 21:55 (six years ago) link

That one's alright!

Mark G, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 08:21 (six years ago) link

'alright' maybe, but not great, certainly not as good as the title deserves

great choice

flappy bird, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 17:20 (six years ago) link

Its a bad title because it doesnt serve the song. I think it got randomly applied, along with "Sappy" or "Verse Chorus Verse" or whatever else those two songs got.

Mark G, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:15 (six years ago) link

yeah the song is very nonchalant, it sounds tossed off, the emotional tenor of the song is indifference. the music of "Moist Vagina" and "Milk It" would've fit "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" much better, for example.

like, idk when i listen to the song i'm not convinced he hates himself or that he wants to die. lol

flappy bird, Wednesday, 3 January 2018 22:17 (six years ago) link

kind of a shitty thing to say about a suicide victim

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 3 January 2018 23:19 (six years ago) link

lmao ok dude

Nurse with Wound has some utterly pretentious yet awesome titles. The music is not horrible but it’s somewhat unremarkable half of the time.

Not awful but definitely doesn't do justice to the title.
