I feel like Captain Kirk, however; everyone is liking it but me. Their synthesized purr is all over the new record called Robot Rock, and it's not fun anymore. The first song on the record is called "Sugar Rush," but the whole thing is electronic bubble gum. They made everyone happy but Captain Kirk, with their cute, fluttering purr and their soft to the touch fuzziness. http://www.tollbooth.org/mini/joye.html   (131 words)      Sifl & Olly Show Episode Guide - Sifl & Olly Show Season Episodes - TV.com Sifl's Robot / Chester's sign, Chester clucks / Rock Fact: What Did The Band U2 Use For Power Instead of Electricty To Create Their Albums? / Song: "Dude's House" / News: Weather Robot / Interview with the Sun / Chester sings Song: "Seasons In the Sun" (Originaly by Terry Jacks) Chester's Pet Fax Machine / Rock Fact: How Did The Band Pink Floyd Get Their Name? http://www.tv.com/sifl-and-olly-show/show/12200/episode_guide.html   (1574 words)      Ground and Sky review - The Alan Parsons Project - I, Robot Parsons and Woolfson employ many styles on I, Robot, including ethereal synthetic passages that almost border on "new age" (except that they're interesting), funky rhythmic playing and singing, and soft-rock pop numbers that occasionally became radio singles (such as "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You" did here). The line-up is similar to the first Project album, Tales of Mystery and Imagination, with Parsons and Eric Woolfson again splitting the song-writing duties. On later albums, the singles-orientated approach would nearly ruin the band as Parsons strove harder and harder for commercial success; here, however, the simpler tracks are actually quite effective at establishing the despondent mood necessary for an album that deals with the end of humankind. http://www.progreviews.com/reviews/display.php?rev=app-ir   (1574 words)      Album Cuts: Ima Robot - UCD Advocate - Music Ima Robot never smoothes out its problems; the album gets worse and worse as it progresses, until the climactic "Dirty Life," which sounds like an x-rated James Brown song with handclaps and repetitious keyboard loops. Ima Robot is to hipster rock what Warrant was to hair metal: too little, way too late. The single fails to shine, the rest of the album spend its time wallowing in darkness. http://www.ucdadvocate.com/news/2004/02/25/Music/Album.Cuts.Ima.Robot-618010.shtml   (1574 words)      robot rock band - what is it? on the other hand, it would be more in keeping with the spirit of the project to create a 'robot rock critic' subroutine that compares current performances to both previous ones and an evolving template of the 'ideal' robot rock band song. in order to facilitate maximum contextual interpenetration, the band features an unusual ten-note-per-octave equal-tempered scale as the basis of its harmonic language. the band would then have a (filtered) input from the critic. http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~wsack/robotrockband/what.html   (1574 words)      Emperor Norton Records :: Artist :: felix da housecat While Kittenz had it’s framework squarely built upon DJ and club culture, Devin Dazzle and the Neon Fever is an album built upon punk/post new-wave culture and is deliberately more song oriented.

Dangel rearranged the song to a rock beat, added a simple three-chord riff and a guitar solo, and Roberts rocked up the lyrics. In 1961, lead singer Robin Roberts found an obscure B-side recording of a calypso-style song by an R&B singer named Richard Berry. Harris long to steal the show from the rest of the cast - Guy Williams, June Lockhart, Mark Goddard, three kids, and Robot, patterned after Robby the Robot of the film ''Forbidden Planet.'' http://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/investing/32382/710245   (9172 words)      Ima Robot Forums - Ima Robot, which includes Alex Ebert (vocals), Tim Anderson (guitar), Justin Meldal-Johnson (bass), Joey Waronker (drums) and Oliver Goldstein (keys), has drawn creative comparisons to 80s joke-rockers Devo, the band that released that unavoidable song titled "Whip It," for the band's goofy appearance, and slapstick sense of humor. What may be the second-coming to geek-rock all-stars Weezer, Los Angeles dork-rockers Ima Robot will bring its driven guitar pop to Chicago when the band will be supporting Chicago's own pop-rock princes Kill Hannah on Feb. 17 at Metro. For instance, Ebert's hair has been seen in a laughable mullet, a hairstyle popular in the 80's where the hair is short in the front of the head, but is long in the back; picture the hair-do of Uncle Jesse, played by John Stamos in episodes of the family TV series "Full House." http://www.imarobot.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1452   (307 words)      The Flaming Lips At it's core, the song is rousing country rock, but this sounds like no country you will have heard before, featuring as it does robot voices, wild crowd sounds, and the electronic treatment that is characteristic of the whole album from which the song is taken. 'Fight Test' is one of the more interesting songs from the Lips latest album, if only for the fact that it represents the apotheosis of the stylistic straddling of the country vibe from the Okie Noodling soundtrack and the futuristic electronic pop that pervades the album as a whole.

Pinkerton begins with "Tired of Sex", a roaring opener that defines the mood of the album and immediately contradicts everything that rock and roll seems to be about. The song, like most of Pinkerton, is filled with overwhelming guitar feedback, and a synthesizer is also used, and serves as a reminder to die hard fans of the track's Songs From the Black Hole roots (the songs for that project used heavy synth to add to the space theme). http://www.jonathan-hawkins.net/index.php/music/pinkerton   (2780 words)      Tornado (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Tornado", a song by US rock group Garbage.

As the fish swings his head out from the plaque, he lip-syncs to a prerecorded 30-second clip of a popular song or spits out a savvy one-liner. Like the Pet Rock of the early 1980s, the singing fish is a fad -- in true American fashion! http://www.howstuffworks.com/singing-fish.htm   (273 words)      BBC - h2g2 - Joy Electric - A Discography - A837704 Robot Rock is great album, considered by some to be an "essential" album in the Joy Electric collection. Drum Machine Joy - the classic JoyE song, it has been remixed twice by Ronnie, and covered once by the punk band MxPx. The Songbook Tells All - Features the favorite Joy Electric quote, "Heavy metal shirts aren't funny/ Come here boy I'll show you funny." The meaning of this line is debatable, but the general consensus is that the song is about "posers" who pretend they are cool because of what they wear/do/listen to. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A837704   (3939 words)      James Kochalka to Release Album on Rykodisc The 25 song CD will include a DVD of music videos, including the legendary "Monkey Vs Robot" (once Rollingstone.com’s most downloaded song!). Because his recordings have only been distributed through comic book shops, many have not realized he's also a rock star.

What the song was, the band refuses to reveal, since it's possible that they'll end up recording it one day. The fact that also the horn 'section' of the band, Pekka Mikkonen, was originally supposed to come to the interview speaks volumes of the band's unity. http://www.donjohnsonbigband.com/en/articles/rumba092003   (204 words)      Blogcritics.org: CD Review: Be Human by Yoko Kanno The childlike perspective of the tachikoma results in lyrics like these: "I'd roll around the mud/and have lots of fun/then when I was done/build bubblebath towers and swim in the tub." The somber electronic tones of "Be Human" give way to hard rock on "Trip City," a song about a robot having some serious issues. "Tachikoma no Iede (Runaway Tachikoma)" is the complete opposite of those songs with its light combination of piano and flute. Unlike the other covers that feature main character Motoko Kusanagi, the cover of Be Human features a "tachikoma." Tachikoma are spider-like robots used by the characters in the anime series. http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/11/16/044854.php   (1052 words)      Joshua Homme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He was a founding member of desert rock band Kyuss, which split up in 1997, and is the only continuous member of robot rock/alternative band, Queens of the Stone Age. Homme played a guitar part on the Foo Fighters's song "Razor", from the album In Your Honor. Homme also plays bass guitar, as when Queens of the Stone Age performs "Burn the Witch" and "Long Slow Goodbye". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Homme   (421 words)      CANOE -- JAM! Music - Artists - Supergrass Album Review: LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS Can't Get Up is a truly sweet song, for example, while LA Song comes off almost as a parody of nu-rock, until the chorus and robot kamikaze attack. Gaz and the boys are back for album No. 4 of wayyyy-post-Monkeez upbeat synth pop, a much less silly collection than their reputation insists. Prophet 15 takes things to a strumming Bowie level, spookily naming the dead, and sure enough, the space theme suggested by the album title shows itself throughout with all kinds of crazy cosmic jive. http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/S/Supergrass/AlbumReviews/2002/09/19/771980.html   (421 words)      Nintendo.com Games : WarioWare: Touched! Ashley's hilarious theme song is worth the price of admission by itself. New software developers this time are Ashley, a goth girl whose games are a "Total Drag," and Mike, the aforementioned party robot. Yep, a karaoke-mad robot named Mike is on hand to get this party going with special mic-controlled games. http://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=2cbad24c-51fe-4d3f-bf7b-b9ca5a6751c5   (564 words)      Tune In Tonight: 7/19/02 Jones develops a cyborg crush on a fellow sixth-grader whose name, Shannon Westerburg, is a tip of the hat to Paul Westerburg, leader of the Replacements, considered by many to be the best rock and roll band of the Reagan era. Jones may think he's an average sixth-grader, but he's actually a 3-foot, 8-inch robot weighing 500 pounds with a 9,468 mega-volt memory. Jones' voice, and perhaps his very existence, seems inspired by the song "Mechanical Man" by Devo. http://www.s-t.com/daily/07-02/07-19-02/zzzadtun.htm   (594 words)      www.myspace.com/rookmusic The five piece hailing from Orlando, FL has scattered influences that are apparent without being obvious, The sound of the band is described as brit pop fashion forward rock with driving guitars and lush harmonies in the vein of bands such as Self, Blur, Duran Duran, Jellyfish,Bleu, Bowie, Queen and Ima Robot. Rook is quickly becoming Orlando’s “band to watch” and with a 4 song EP released in May and a full album slated for an early 2006 national release the future looks bright for Rook. After selling over a quarter of a million albums, having seven number one singles and playing more than 750 live shows as a solo artist Eric Champion felt it was time to step it up a notch and put together a full on rock band. http://www.myspace.com/rookmusic   (1414 words)      GARY NUMAN Into this soft-rock stranglehold came Gary Numan's 1979 hit “Cars.” The song described a sad teenager who only felt comfortable communicating with machines — an apt tune for a society whose failing technology was reflected in gas lines and poorly constructed automobiles. Numan's geek-from-Mars appearance coupled with his technology-addled, paranoid persona produced a robot-rocking hit that conquered the U.S. Top 40. Numan imitators appeared, and his influence would also be felt in the spew of goth rock and industrial music to come. http://remixmag.com/mag/remix_gary_numan   (1414 words)      Giorgio There is a European greatest hits of Moroder's that contains these songs as well as Looky Looky and Moody Trudy (wherein Moroder attempts to squeeze the history of rock 'n' roll into each song in preparation for his disco onslaught). Taking the worst elements of Kraftwerk and ABBA, adding robot-like vocals and turning the blender to mix (125 beats per), stomachs were held in by the knowledge that Moroder at least contributed something of value to the history of music in the shape of the group Giorgio. Moroder's work with Phil Oakley of the Human League many years later could not hold a candle to the effort put into this Classic single. http://home.att.net/~bubblegumusic/giorgio.htm   (305 words)      philip sherburne: Belated platitudes part one It will be come the post-rock of electronic music with style and human feelings...this flower has only just begun to bloom ;) Microhouse – the genre that sounds like a drum circle played with tinfoil, truck tires, and sawed-off lightning rods, while a robot sings scat with his jaw wired shut – kept up its anthill frug in 2003 with perspicacious pointillism from the usual suspects. But “Dexter,” which was essentially Villalobos’ answer to Closer Musik’s keening “Maria,” lifted its gaze from the maddeningly detailed task at hand to get swept away with a yearning, melodic screen kiss – like a sweatshop worker churning out electronic gizmos bursting into song in a Bollywood film. http://phs.abstractdynamics.org/archives/001668.html   (415 words)      Reviews by Kevin Seibert and robot rock is the album that arguably the most popular joy electric song appeared on: monosynth. melody was the first record ever released by joy electric. as more and more joy electric albums were released, each one had a diffrent trait that made them more distinguisgable from the many others. http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/TheNorthSea/ks.reviews.html   (951 words)
