My Monkey On Ice [February 2004]

Phobiac - 2-9-2004 at 08:10 PM

O.K. here are the choices for February.

The New Negatives:
This was recorded in October of 2002 at Spaceland in Silverlake. I don't think I've heard it played since.

Sexy.
Ima Robot broke this one out at The Coachella Music Festival in 2003, but this recording is from the short European tour that year; specifically from La Cigale in Paris.

Spearmint
One of those rare b-sides that to-date hasn't made it to a b-side. This one was played at The Troubadour in June of 2003.

STD Dance Video Clip [UCLA Free Show].
This video clip is from the UCLA Free show. What makes it so special, well it's a video clip and Ima Robot is performing at around noon. Noon is early. Enough said; but a sweet show it was.

Here are 10 second or so clips of the three audio tracks, you know what STD Dance sounds like, but you may not know what it looks like!

I suggest you use Internet Explorer and have Windows Media Player or else the previews won't work for you.

Only those who vote will get to download...so get your vote on!!!!

26 Views off this page, and 3 votes?

What's goin on here people ? :rolleyes:

colforbin6 - 2-9-2004 at 09:35 PM

turtle, relax, I got your back. I officially vote for the New Negatives. I have heard the others and chose this after much thought.

-good evening.

Phobiac - 2-9-2004 at 10:19 PM

it could have been me trying to get the page "just" right and the audio previews working correctly.

I'm sure we'll see many more votes this time as the number of visitors is really picking up.

poobs - 2-9-2004 at 11:10 PM

The previews aren't working for me..Didn't we just have New Negatives in there? I went for Spearment cuz I don't think I've ever heard it..How about Leo's Waltz in the running for the next one, Phob??

rwgordon - 2-10-2004 at 12:07 AM

my vote was for spearmint, for reasons that appear obvious given the response for that track...

but... why is New Negatives live @ spaceland here when it's already "on ice"?

colforbin6 - 2-10-2004 at 12:08 AM

I must add a few thoughts here...Spearment is cool with its loud pressing hook and all. It is not the best song by any stretch. Leo is out there, interesting, perhaps even cool, but far out there. New negs is something to be considered....

colforbin6 - 2-10-2004 at 12:20 AM

Gordon makes an excellent point! The New Negatives is already up for download. In that case I give up, you all decide. New Negatives is cool though, a studio version will be cool.

Noisemonster - 2-10-2004 at 03:45 AM

just downloading the media player - hope it works, as i am still one of the few who have win95... :rolleyes:

Athena - 2-10-2004 at 04:48 AM

Ack! Extra hopeless for me as I have a Mac. Damn.

lomax - 2-10-2004 at 05:50 AM

i went for sexy, but wanted to go for spearmint too!! look forward to downloading any of them!

Phobiac - 2-10-2004 at 06:33 AM

Damn...didn't know New Negatives was already up there in the Monkey On Ice folder.

Hmmm...well....looks like there are only three choices for ya'll.

Sorry if the previews don't work for you. I'm running Windows XP, Windows Media Player 9.00.00.3075 and Internet Exploder version 6.0.2800.1106. They all play.

Don't you just love PC's :lol:

Phobiac - 2-10-2004 at 06:35 AM

I like the two people who have voted for The New Negatives!!! That means no work for me adding it to the Download Center!!!! Since it's already there!!! :D

Ahh blatant use of the !

Athena - 2-10-2004 at 07:05 AM

Ok. ok Laugh it up PC people. I bet you want/have an ipod though... Will investigate in the download center for mp3's of the N.N. if it exists.

colforbin6 - 2-10-2004 at 09:03 AM

go for spearment then i suppose.

batcave_baby - 2-10-2004 at 09:08 AM

I voted for the video of STD Dance, reason(s) being: New Negatives is already available on ice, Sexy I've heard many times, and Spearmint just didn't totally tickle my fancy (yet). But the main reason is that the UCLA show was particularly interesting becuase Alex's voice was so hoarse that he had to improvise a bit, which resulted in a slightly modified version of most the songs! And like Phobiac mention, the show was at noon, so you can actually see what's going on.

Phobiac, did you catch Mr. Disapproving Army Man Watching From Window With Frown On Face and Arms Folded Accross Chest Guy on the video? Did you notice him?

Duh..I didn't see the Internet Explorer thing..I was using Netscape and it wouldn't work..I got it now!!:duh:

Noisemonster - 2-10-2004 at 03:20 PM

somehow i managed to d/l the previews anyway by typing the url into netscape, then saving 'page' as ***.wma, then opening that file. :cool:

i voted for 'spearmint', need to know more different tunes!

Neuwave - 2-10-2004 at 05:46 PM

Yeah I voted for New Negatives too since it sounds the rockiness, but if it's already around...

I didn't catch that. Maybe it's hidden of the video I was shooting. I'll have to look for that.

The STD Dance video might even feature batcave_baby rock'in the front row...red hair in full swing.

Phobiac - 2-11-2004 at 11:30 AM

No love for Sexy

MichelleRene - 2-11-2004 at 11:35 AM

I really like that song...kinda gloomy in a way.....but I like it. :yes:

Man, I can't stop laughing...all those photos of Gen from the Genitorturers and Willy Hung from American Idol and Gobsausage is making me giddy.....I can't stop laughing.....boy this forum is on a roll now... :lol:

MichelleRene - 2-11-2004 at 11:37 AM

Now this is sexy Phobs.......

:wow:

colforbin6 - 2-11-2004 at 11:38 AM

sexy is good, people have it now.

batcave_baby - 2-11-2004 at 11:52 AM

How about we quite torturing ourselves over this, and you give them ALL to us? Come on, don't play the laughing boy.

Phob, Army....Guy was up in a second story window in the building behind the stage. He was looking down throughout the majority of the show with a look of disapproval. But it was kind of like when a Gary Super-Macho, homophobic guy sees a homo-erotic seen, and gets turned on by it but adamantly refuses to admit it, even to himself. You know what I mean?

Uhhh, viewer discretion would be advised. And I can't even claim inebriation, considering it was mid-day. Or can I?

RoboticTerrorSTD - 2-11-2004 at 10:07 PM

Yeah I LOVE "sexy". Um but i already have it, new negatives is already up & i'm not head over heels for "spearmint" so i voted for the STD dance video clip.:P

straightjacketkitty - 2-13-2004 at 12:24 AM

i like new negatives but i would like to see this video for std dance.
...or what exacly are we doin here? im a little confused. haha hmmm
oh, and oh yeah, this is my first time posting here! hi all.

Phobiac - 2-13-2004 at 07:53 AM

My Mokeny On Ice lets you get your fix of Ima Robot rareities...You know you can't get the CD out of your CD Player and your always just dying to hear (or in this case...maybe...) see something new from the band.

Each month we vote (being the democracy that imarobot.net is) on what should be put in this section of the download center. It's just a little nicer than myself being an evil dictator and shoving some rare Ima Robot stuff down your throat and making you enjoy it and smile. Get it? :yes:

poobs - 2-13-2004 at 08:34 AM

How long does the voting go on? It's a pretty close race right now! :o

draconian - 2-13-2004 at 09:04 AM

Through the 14th--the tracks traditionally come on the 15th of the month.

Nicko - 2-14-2004 at 02:30 AM

i like The New Negatives

Noisemonster - 2-15-2004 at 08:06 AM

Sometimes I hate my over-aged, super-slow, snail-speed-connected, multi-virus-infected computer.

colforbin6 - 2-16-2004 at 04:20 PM

rwgordon - 2-17-2004 at 03:28 AM

yeah... i guess ppl who already have Spearmint voted for STD dance... that's a shame

and Michelle Rene is hot... i concur

show me some luv girlfriend!

DJAtticDragon - 2-17-2004 at 06:39 AM

Can't say that I'm a fan of abstract, I myself enjoy music with some stable harmonies in which New Negative and STD Dance had to offer.

STD Dance is such a cross between "Safety Dance" by Men Without Hats and "Let's Dance" by David Bowie. I enjoy either songs so, natural, I enjoyed this song. Does anyone think that Alex is a bit like David Bowie on helium?

Peace toeveryscrewballthatcallshimselfhuman

OMG! I just stumbled across this post! Hahahaha...thank you for the kind compliments.....That made me laugh, considering I'm watching my neice today, have no makeup on, sweats, pony-tail and just changed her diaper!!!! :lol:

:wow::wow: :rolleyes:

poobs - 2-17-2004 at 08:17 AM

There's nothing like a little baby poo on your hand to make you feel sexy!! Or on your pants.. :yes:

I have a poo story..So when Brody was about a week old, I was going to take him to my friend's house around the corner for her B-day celebration..Nothing big..Just family..Anywho, we went through 4 changes of clothes cuz he had the poops and it kept leaking everywhere..One of the times I was changing his diaper, he actually squirted poo on my leg..I was really reconsidering this whole "mother" thing..
