Neil Cicierega

marilyn manson had several ribs removed so he could smell his own knees

Bands you keep trying to like but can't get into

have tried a lot this week, but the fact is, i prefer Girl Talk over this fella.
guess i just hate jokes.

Girl Talk? I haven't heard that name in years

this isn't as good as the last one imo

still v good tho

I think Girl Talk & Neil Cicierega are aiming for totally different things

i.e. NC is about the jokes that i just don't care enough about to get ?

or, am i missing another level to NC ?

(i have never enjoyed joke filled/humorous music - so this is not specific to NC)

idk, either you think this is funny or you don't

but that's just an overly aggressive edit as opposed to a proper bootleg !?
and no, not a single chuckle throughout.
guess i really am a humourless f#cker.
hey ho.

but that's just an overly aggressive edit as opposed to a proper bootleg !?

but?

sleepin' makes me feel good

this intricate edit is an intricate edit, I call shenanigans

guess i just hate jokes.

― mark e,

this game is not over.
i will continue this pursuit of enjoyment another time.

I think the funniest thing on this album is 1:38 on "Fredhammer" that final pitched-down "yeah" idk why but that kind of shit always makes me crack up

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 I'm terrible at explaining why anything is funny much less something like "if you're all alone...let me sleep in your bed"

I'm just in awe of his editing skills. Like, "Yahoo" is legit great to listen to.

freaky ghost bed

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 had somehow missed this

my life is now complete

yeah that one is something

this guy has completely ruined the song "Wonderwall"

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").

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)
