the synth hook on "solar cock" is fucking weak dude
quit smokin

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:35 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't believe the moronic salivatation over the fetid pabulum that is the first Denny Lethargy EP.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

you're not the only one who thinks it's a synth, and not the only person who is wrong

you quit smokin, X-POST

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:37 (eighteen years ago) link

suck on my burning bile gygax you aborted fetus

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:38 (eighteen years ago) link

(xp) it's a synth sample and a weak one at that

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:38 (eighteen years ago) link

abreu i think you're the only one who thinks lethargy is even in the same league as vertigo

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I agree. But then *I* would.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:40 (eighteen years ago) link

it's a zither played through an early morpheloper! grow one ear

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:41 (eighteen years ago) link

I think anyone who prefers Vertigo should be catapulted by the testicles into a lava-hot Mexico City sewer to fester for all eternity.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:41 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah yeah yeah whatever
can we talk about the mike phillips guest spot on the last track of amblin'
is there a better lethargy song than this?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

All you little revisionists can lie to yourselves that Vertigo re-invented the wheel with their fourth-rate hairfarmer pabulum for all I care --- just don't sully Lethargy's good name in doing so.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Don't profane this thread any longer, or I'll have to get all upset and spray violent invective all over the place like some demonic lawn-sprinkler of vituperation, and that's just going to ruin my otherwise sunny mood.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't remember. Which one of these guys was in Sha Na Na?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Did anyone catch Denny on the Blue Oyster Cult Behind the Music? (new season, w00t!) He looks like crap. The glass eye looks pretty realistic, though.

didn't yo la tengo cover a lethargy song during an fmu pledge drive?

― and I can walk out into the world, singing with my people (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah I saw that, after a yawnsome "interview" with that cow from "Will & Grace." The new single is crap, though. The "rap" towards the end of it literally made my fuckin' skin crawl.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

more lethargy talk

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost -- my bad. not a morpheloper. not even sure those exist now yet! it's definitely a Mutron III on the Vertigo

anyways,

Lead is the parody of gold
Air is the parody of water
Brain is the parody of the equator
Coitus is the parody of crime

I Am The Sun
Solar Cock!
I Am The Sun
Solar Cock!

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:47 (eighteen years ago) link

SOLAR COCK!

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought it was "I am the one / solar cock" ?? do you have the album sleeve

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I know a guy who SWEARS that he has an entire unreleased Lethargy album that he keeps threatening to boot. he still won't burn me a copy though. idiot.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

A fatuous Dick Nazi who shames my surname reviewed Solar Cock for Rolling Stone and he should be repeatedly bludgeoned with a tire-iron for the Smashmouth comparison (actually, it's an accusation, not a comparison).

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

definitely 'sun', it's a bataille reference

man this song rules. I'm totally about to get fired.

― milton parker (Jon L), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Blink 182 covered "Solar Cock" on one of their Australian-only EP's. They tried to do that "synth" line with a harmony overdub.

It wasn't very good, as you could imagine.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Cheese monkeys.

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

some douchebag i know apparently thought denny lethargy sounded like blue cheer. i later discovered he had never even HEARD blue cheer, he was just some asshole with an MC5 shirt

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

someone post the amblin' cover
the wolf looks totally gnar

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Lethargy is VON LMO's cousin or something, I think.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:52 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost, jesus fuck. of course I have the album sleeve, you fucking child (though I don't have amblin')

I heard that about von lmo too... makes sense...

i kind of like this mike phillips pic

i swear i heard some unreleased Eve track on a mixtape somewhere where she samples the synth-line from solar cock!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Did You Know:

Denny Vertigo was the original drummer for Hendrix before he went to the UK?

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Has anyone heard that Vertigo b-sides comp? Sort've cringe-worthy in spots, but the GODLIKE "Avalokitesvara Sutra" is essential listening for anyone in possession of a functioning cerebral cortex.

― max, Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:57 (eighteen years ago) link

(xp) see! it's an elka synthex, right!!@!?!?

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:57 (eighteen years ago) link

i read some interview with neil michael hagerty (in the big takeover, maybe?) in which he was going on and on about denny vertigo. jack rabid is a HUGE fan, based on his replies.

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Whatever! As Stigliano would say, that 1st Vertigo record doesn't hold a candle to, say, what Kongress was doing at the time.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:01 (eighteen years ago) link

FUCK kongress

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:03 (eighteen years ago) link

At least the disco stuff Lethargy was doing at the time had some cool proto-Moroderisms goin' on.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:04 (eighteen years ago) link

everything after their first album sucks. their reunion tour sucked too.

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:04 (eighteen years ago) link

anyone have the lyrics to "honour thy fyre"?

― cutty (mcutt), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:05 (eighteen years ago) link

lyrics?? it's an instrumental!

― and I can walk out into the world, singing with my people (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

"jack rabid is a HUGE fan, based on his replies."

i read that issue. i think jack said hi to denny in the bathroom at the peppermint lounge once in 1982.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:06 (eighteen years ago) link

"said hi"

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I remember about 13 years ago (1992!!!) San Diego zine ROCKMAG had a feature which summed up Denny Lethargy's post-rehab career as "a no-wave Hindu Love Gods", I had to chuckle.

xpost: "Honour Thy Fire" had lyrics in the live boots and demos.

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:08 (eighteen years ago) link

lyrics?? it's an instrumental!

boy, is my face red!

There was a poem printed in the liner notes, wasn't there?

DeRogatis is actually a Vertigo fan! I remember him mentioning something about him once.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:09 (eighteen years ago) link

sort of like A Love Supreme! xpost

― gear (gear), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

gygax is right ... the lyrics were mostly bad gothic puns which is why they weren't on the album

― Dr. Glen Y. Abreu (dr g), Wednesday, 24 August 2005 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

for real, read the poem while listening to the music

I don't know why were skirting round the recent news. I mean i can't be the only one surprised by Verigo's profession of hardcore militant pescetarianism? How is it going to affect his work? And his live performances?

― Frogman Henry, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:46 (sixteen years ago) link

this is the cover for the new album.

Denny V. just released an ep of Smashing Pumpkins covers. Pretty decent.

that is ADVANCED

― latebloomer, Friday, 28 September 2007 19:55 (sixteen years ago) link

If "Silverfuck" is on the EP, that would be awesome.

It will be very strange to hear Vertigo covering such a blatantly Vertigo-influenced song. The universe will collapse in on itself or something in a singularity of AWESOME.

― latebloomer, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:01 (sixteen years ago) link

this is the only thing I've found from his deep trance period, sorry it cuts off but it's taken from a mix CD on Moonshine Music

did Vertigo ever get off the ground with that private moonshot thing?

― gabbneb, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:30 (sixteen years ago) link

I heard a new track of Vertigo's the other day called "Let It Go (You Guys)".

― jeff, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link

The lyrics to that one were particularly fine.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link

there's another one too released not too long ago (mp3-only track): "If U Don't Like It, Just Leave U Punk"

― latebloomer, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link

very funky number.

― latebloomer, Friday, 28 September 2007 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link

I hear it's even funkier than "Tuck'em In Already" (Lethargy's version of "Fuck 'Em If They Can't Take A Joke").

Working is an incredible challenge
A kind of vertical division
Let it resonate within your sacred space
I'm going to fuck you until your voice goes away
We come from the same place
I can't bear it any longer woman
You're Vertigoing Insane

remember denny vertigo's faux-angry blog post about the U2 song 'vertigo', claiming it was inspired by him and therefore he deserved royalties?

― pro bowl was fun (omar little), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 20:07 (fifteen years ago) link

great revive. was thinking about vertigo this week.

and i'm not sure that blog post was faux-angry. dude seemed angry-angry.

Not sure how seriously you can take a guy who once tried to sue Denny's, tho.

― aging very well, fer sure (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link

i guess i thought it was along the lines of the donald fagen "cease and desist" open letter to owen wilson re: "you me and dupree"? i could have misread it.

― pro bowl was fun (omar little), Wednesday, 25 February 2009 20:09 (fifteen years ago) link

how many people have sued denny's over chronic food-poisoning i wonder?
i bet a year as a trucker would strengthen my stomach to a serious degree. but i digress.

is "max" upthread our very own max? in 2005?
