So now you're hooked on Ima Robot...and you need your fix. Well, put your Monkey On Ice each month as we add a rare track to the newest category in the Download Center; The My Monkey On Ice section.
Featured this month: Twist & Shout
The recording is from Ima Robot's October 11th, 2002 performace at Club Spaceland in Silverlake, California. The track packs some classic Ima
Robot energy, but unfortunately didn't make it into the competition for b-side fame.

thanks phobes.draconian - 10-20-2003 at 01:29 PM
It still pains me that this didn't make the album. It's like a more histrionic version of Scream.car539 - 10-20-2003 at 08:38 PM
great idea. thanks, phobiac.draconian - 10-22-2003 at 09:18 AM
Might I also add that this one has some of the best power chords heard in any of their songs--especially in the final chorus.poobs - 10-23-2003 at 04:26 PM
Yes..I miss this song a lot..I had it on my computer at work and then I switched computers and then I left and now I can't put anything on my
sister's computer..Oi..It was one of my favorites for a long time..lomax - 11-2-2003 at 06:18 AM
i like it.
chorus sounds a bit like yeah yeah yeahs.
yer, its cool, not one of the best though.draconian - 11-15-2003 at 08:06 AM
It's the ides, so a new one should be up today. Phobiac and I narrowed it down to two...the one we didn't pick will probably go up next
month.Phobiac - 11-15-2003 at 09:15 AM
Featured this month: Ages of Ruin
With an arm full of cheese-its; Ages of Ruin from the May 15th, 2003 show at The Metro in London has been added to the My Monkey On Ice Category. Ima
Robot played this show a couple days after opening for Blur at The Astoria.
Ages of Ruin is currently available in all its production glory on the UK Song#1 (4 Track) Single.

cool. u know there was no flyers or posters for the metro show at the blur gig. nothing. have 'bot played in britain since then?draconian - 11-15-2003 at 04:10 PM
We passed out at least 200 flyers at that show, the trouble was a lot of the people who showed up for Blur arrived after Ima Robot played and they had
no idea. On the bootleg you can hear some pretty enthusiastic response from the audience who were there for the 'Bot, though!
They returned in the summer to play a gig at the Monarch, but also were at Reading this year.lomax - 11-16-2003 at 06:00 AM
my bad. i missed the flyers. i wasnt in the que, i just managed to walk straight in! i saw the whole 'bot set. it was good. alot of
'townie' type people taking the piss, but alot there liking it. i must admit, at the time, i thought they were ok. i just wish i
concentrated and watch the set properly. i also missed them at reading. (i could probably find out but i cant be arse) what time/day did they play?
(i never really went in the carling stage [apart from sparta] but i with i had, as alot of the bands i like now played in there!)Phobiac - 12-16-2003 at 03:59 PM
Featured this month: Dynomite
The recording is from Ima Robot's October 30th, 2002 performace at The Troubadour in West Hollywood.
The track goes back to some classic Ima Robot before tweaks were made to the songs in order to make them more "album" ready. Or is it just
the natural progression of perfection.
You'll notice that this version of Dynomite is much slower in tempo. Play this version back to back with the album version and hear for
yourself.

just checked in today as a recovery from xmas xtivities and what do i find in the download center but.... New Negatives! this song rox, completely new
to me as the Bot still haven't toured or released anything Down Under. (Not that i expect them to, i seem to be their only fan in the southern
hemisphere)
Thanx Phobiac, what can you tell us about NN? it's history, etc.
and how many more rare live tracks do you have floating around? or any more demos? i'm loving the guitar solo in Dynamite. lomax - 1-7-2004 at 05:38 AM
...any announcement that new negatives would be in the download centre? i only just found out. do people know?Phobiac - 1-7-2004 at 09:10 PM
They do know.
I was down and out on x-mas eve and x-mas with a 103 degree fever. I got it up there, but then fell down. Forgot to get back up and type up the
announcement.
Treat it as a surprise for search'in it out! :ticking:rwgordon - 1-7-2004 at 09:27 PM
Also, didn't "Philosophophee" used to be in there? a live version from Spaceland or somewhere..... am i dreaming or was it taken down,
and if so was there any reason?lomax - 2-2-2004 at 05:14 AM

I assume your using firefox? If so go to Tools, Options, and you should see Download Actions, then click the View & Edit Actions, and change it so
that instead of having MP3s, MPGs, and w/e else the file will be doesnt open in Quicktime, but instead downloads to your computer. SOrry if I
didn't explain it very well or if your using IE, swithch to firefox:Pbillbrasky86 - 6-14-2006 at 11:00 PM
This is an awesome feature, I just got a bunch of their songs I'd never heard ofVonDutchic16 - 11-3-2006 at 05:18 PM

I use to have a few rarities but my computer crashed. i'm far too lazy to post 150 posts.. especially since the forum isn't that active.Sarbear - 11-26-2009 at 06:54 AM
What kind of rarities?elblueblazer - 11-26-2009 at 06:37 PM
im sure this jackhole doesn't have anything we dont have!!! ezkim0x - 11-26-2009 at 10:29 PM

well, I ended up recovering my music.
thanks for nothing.JPG - 12-7-2009 at 08:12 AM
At least were good for nothingDelta - 12-7-2009 at 09:17 AM
you dont have to take elblu that seriously, thats just his "style"
hope you stick around, depsite our suck poobs - 12-7-2009 at 10:18 AM
How did we do nothing? We offer everything Ima Robot and more if you just show that you're not just going to use us and all of the stuff we've dug up
and worked hard to get..I'm not a fan of making it 150 posts..I'd be comfortable with less, but we've all (some, like me, not half as much as others)
put time and effort into harrassing the band and searching stuff out..Just like my hot vag, we won't just GIVE this stuff away.. Plus, if you had contacted some of us, I'm sure we'd have given some of the stuff to
you anyways..But now it's too late!! ezkim0x - 12-7-2009 at 11:57 AM
that's why I posted in here about losing my music. I thought that was a pretty big hint that I wanted it back.
I just can't stand elitist assholes. that won't share anything and keep it to themselves. it's music.. that obviously we both love. so why not share
it with each other?
maybe all of you aren't like that.. but that's the hint i got after elblu posted.. then when I made my other post under his and nobody responds for a
few days..
of course when I post something a little harsh everybody starts putting their 2cents in. anyways.. thank you delta for showing some kindness. poobs - 12-7-2009 at 12:41 PM
Elblue is a dick and proud of it..You can't take it to heart..I'm sweet as effing pie..I was just explaining where most people are coming from..I
don't run the whole 4shared thing and didn't make up the rules..I'm not going to step on any toes..Cuz..You know..I'm so sweet.. Delta - 12-7-2009 at 01:32 PM
we have no problem sharing, but we like to grow the community, setting the posts at 150 is done to hoepfully have people post and stay w. the forum
even if its a little slow, instead of just taking everything and leaving. We also want to be able to trust everyone with the 4shared account since
anyone can add or take away from it...
if your looking for something specific let me know Sarbear - 12-7-2009 at 04:21 PM
Yes. Delta worded it perfect. ezkim0x - 12-7-2009 at 08:41 PM
I was mainly looking for Ruthless.. but I ended up recovering it.
:D
