Southbound Pachyderm
« on: January 04, 2011, 09:16:16 pm »
I am so musically current that I just discovered this band called Primus (formed in the 80's) just a few weeks ago.  I bought the "Tales from the Punchbowl" album and while I was going through my first listen, I listened to this song called "Southbound Pachyderm".  I haven't played dwarf fortress in quite some time, but this song instantly made me think of Dwarf Fortress and the tale of Boatmurdered (sad, i know).  The funny thing is, it wasn't even the obvious lyrics or title, the music sounds strangely similar to the dwarf fortress "theme".  Needless to say I just played DF again a couple days ago and was attacked by elephants ;D

Here is a googled youtube link to the music video (which I haven't seen yet) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xb898sQtu8 , now the band's music is strange enough and probably for very select audiences.  I would imagine the videos 10x moreso.

Primus is great if you like bands who don't know how to play their instruments.

I'm only half kidding.

Spaghetti Western is a pretty good song too.

Well duh, they come from California, where people are only good at rolling things in paper and smoking it  ;D

Oh, yeah, Primus.

Tales from the Punchbowl was the first album of theirs that I got.

Primus sucks!

I was expecting an elephant escaping from the zoo or something and causing a ruckus on the highway.

I thought it was some kind of Australian critter.
They all have such strange names.
