primus / claypool
    #10156889 - 04/13/09 09:44 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

primus strikes me as a band that's pretty hard to get into. i started to listen to them a little bit with "too many puppies," which i liked a lot, and then by switching over into les claypool's solo projects. i really like his new CD. i honestly didn't think music could sounds so weird and out there...yet still be awesome.

the rest of primus' stuff is just a little too far gone for me though. they have so much material that i don't even know where to start. anyone want to recommend me a few of their better songs?

i like...

too many puppies
those damned blue collar tweakers
tommy the cat
mr. krinkle

but i downloaded pretty much their whole discography

Frizzle Fry is a fine album. Oysterhead & the Frog Brigade's Purple Onion are both pretty easy side-projects to get into.

I thought his newest album was horrible, actually.

I honestly can't see how anyone could enjoy listening to it.

If you downloaded the discography, then listen to it. There are a lot of good songs on there.

They all equally suck.


Listen to the albums Frizzle Fry and Pork Soda all the way through, that'll give you a good feel for their earlier stuff.  Tales from the Punchbowl is their most commercial album, some hate it but give it a try as well (Professor Nutbutter, Over the Electric Grapevine, others).  The "Antipop" album is also worth a listen.

Try to get some live shows from the Hallucino-Genetics tour.

You're right, their music is a bit inaccessible for most people.  I celebrate their entire catalog :shrug:, but these might help you get a feel.

Listen to Frizzle Fry a bunch.  Throw in a few spins of Seas and Pork Soda now and again and a dash of Punchbowl to taste.  Suck on this makes for a nice side on occasion. 

Forget about Brown or any of the albums with Brain.  He's a dingleberry on Herb's left buttcheeck and anyone who tells you otherwise is a small man.  Antipop's sort of a fun listen though.

I was just listening to Primus today.  Yeah, they are such a weird band, but I love 'em.

Wow, that was an incredible show. I went in with (somewhat) lowered expectations, because obviously seeing Primus with Herb and Lar would be fucking nuts, but i was thoroughly impressed. Highlights included:

full version of Southbound Pachyderm
Rumble of the Diesel
Of Whales and Woe
Cosmic Highway (real nice tabla solo)
Up on the Roof
and a real treat: the first verse of Tommy the Cat followed by a short Wynona's themed jam.
...other good numbers from the evening, but I'm having trouble accurately retracing the events of that lovely evening...
...Shit! how could I forget when Eugene (of Gogol Bordello) came on stage for a little local oompah-pah.

and of course the bass and percussion solos were fantastic.
