I'm a touch bored

[STN]

so I'm thinking of changing my name to Popol Vuh by deed poll.

I don't even like Popol Vuh (except for Aguirre) but I think it would be quite funny if it was my name...

 

[john eden]

Are you also drunk?

 

[simon silverdollar]

is it even possible to be drunk and bored at the same time?

 

[STN]

No.

Yes. Watch rugby.

 

[Mr. Tea]

Do it, and get some mates to change their names to Rig Veda, Old Testament and Tibetan Book Of The Dead.

For laffs, like.

Hopefully I'll be able to snaffle and cash some of the royalty cheques for their film work.

 

[zhao]

you've just reminded me of something i really do want to do. thanks STN.

 

[STN]

What is it? Are you going to change your name to Ash Ra Tempel?

 

[Mr. Tea]

What is it?

Produce a concept album inspired by Mayan eschatology, would be my guess.

Change it to Kraan.

And also listen to Eisnjager Und Siebenjager on a crisp spring morn.

No.

I know everything is meant to be acceptable and fine these days but that LP has panpipes on it so it can clear orf.

 

[noel emits]

It doesn't have fucking pan pipes.

Recorders at worst.

 

[STN]

Well whatever.

Instruments that hippies blow.

I think Danny Fischelscher ist ein sheisse-hot drummer. As far as I can tell it's just drums, guitar, piano and voice.

Anyway, didn't Florian Fricke actually call himself Popol Vuh for a while?

 

[STN]

There's definitely something unacceptable and reedy in there.

Did they do any rockier stuff?

 

[noel emits]

I think that's as rock as they get.

The Nosferatu s/t is quite dooomy and always sends me to sleep successfully, in a good way.

I like at the end of this clip when someone has to tell the bongo player to stop.

Hmmm, maybe I'll get the Nosferatu soundtrack...

may i remind you haters that the first (and i think maybe the second as well) Kraftwerk album had AMPLE "Instruments that hippies blow" in it.

the tune I'm thinking of... huge. german ethno-psych at its finest. only problem is the way it accelerates toward the end and I've never been able to spin it.

 

[noel emits]

Do you think that's pan pipes on Kling Klang? Could be I suppose...

There are loads of great flute moments though, I don't mind flutes at all, they can be totally heavenly. In fact they are almost an immediate signifier of great marijuana and blue skies. "floats off"
