hows that dleone

chris andrews (fraew), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

nice. i wasn't sure at first, but that fits my mental definition.

sleep (sleep), Monday, 14 February 2005 22:38 (nineteen years ago) link

from what i can hear the kick falls on every 8th note, including the 2 and 4. just straight ahead pounding. with various snare fills and a crash or two every 4 or 8 measures off that.

"For Kate I Wait" - Ariel Pink (done with mouth)

The Argunaut (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 00:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Telstar Ponies - Lugengeschichte or whatever the heck it was called has this beat but with added flourishes. Basically any non-Deutsche indie song circa 1994-95 with a German title.

The Glitter Band is the closest I've ever heard, so much so that I'm pretty sure La Dusseldorf ripped them off

Quite a lot of bubblegum too, e.g., "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" by Crazy Elephant

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I can't remember which song it is, but one of the tracks offa Glenn Branca's Ascension certainly counts. It might be "Lesson #2."

kingfish du lac (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Lesson #1 counts

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Lesson #2 sounds like shit Sonic Youth

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Friday, 7 July 2006 15:44 (seventeen years ago) link

that fantastic instrumental track on die sterne's 'posen' album, the name of which i've forgotten right now.

wow, this thread has given me much food for thought!

hella somethin' Gwen Stefani pantwork (haitch), Friday, 7 July 2006 16:42 (seventeen years ago) link

oh here it is, it's Glenn Branca's "Light Field (In Consonance)" off of Ascension.

Yeah, the Lesson #2 sounds like shit.

Schneider TM opens his new album with a motorik diddy called "More Time" (also released as a single last year).

willem -- (willem), Friday, 7 July 2006 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

also, "Now We Know" and esp. "Ridin'" from Pharoah Overlord's IV must be heard.

willem -- (willem), Friday, 7 July 2006 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I would like to point out that the original reason I posted this question was that I was making a mix CDR700MBGO! for my wife to listen to as she gave birth. (Apparently the kid liked it; he came right out to hear better.)

The "motorik" tag on last.fm is o_O

Kramkoob (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Friday, 10 October 2008 01:19 (fifteen years ago) link

also The Clean's "Point That Thing Somewhere Else" is an excellent example (sort of a bastard son of Hallogallo and Oh Yeah)

This is kinda my intention, too. Douglas, if you're still around, do you have the tracklisting for that CDR?

Sugarloaf - Green Eyed Lady gets pretty motoriky at points

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 01:07 (thirteen years ago) link

I had a revelation with Green Eyed Lady while listening to it pumped over speakers at a gas station- take away the singing and it's really avant for the time.

bendy, Monday, 6 September 2010 02:02 (thirteen years ago) link

wow, had now idea that blount was deaf. poor guy.

Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Monday, 6 September 2010 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link

think blount just misunderstood what the motorik beat is. the opening guitars of "cherub rock" sound kinda like neu! guitar chuggin

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 03:18 (thirteen years ago) link

I would really kill to hear a motorik version of "Cherub Rock" actually

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 03:20 (thirteen years ago) link

well not really or actually.

dy (max) ia (crüt), Monday, 6 September 2010 03:20 (thirteen years ago) link

"Helen of Troy" by Telefon Tel Aviv is chuggin' motorik city, totally.

Trayce, Monday, 6 September 2010 03:29 (thirteen years ago) link

thread reminds me that i meant to ask about this sfj squib from last month where he describes the motorik beat as having "constant sixteenth notes on the kick drum." i hate to quibble with a music writer who's also a musician, but surely he means 8th notes?
