Yeah, but it didn't say warning: breakdancing doctors and firemen.
How did he get his jacket back? He dropped it in the hospital... but LATER, when he's on the motorcycle, he's wearing it!?!?! wtf? posted by dobbs at 7:32 PM on September 11, 2005
Pretty_Generic, you're doing a heck of a job posted by godawful at 7:33 PM on September 11, 2005
I'm pretty sure P_G hates life in general.
This is just proof of that theory. posted by mystyk at 7:34 PM on September 11, 2005
I don't think anyone predicted that the levees would breakdance. posted by Pretty_Generic at 7:35 PM on September 11, 2005
And I'd swear that most of them appeared to be doing a bastardized 'robot'. But the [kid/midget] was cool.
Dr. Beat....yeah right. The doctor isn't in. (and hasn't been for 20 years.) posted by mystyk at 7:38 PM on September 11, 2005
Could've been a better mix, but I wholeheartedly approve of this. posted by chrominance at 7:39 PM on September 11, 2005
This is currently #3 in the UK btw. The official singles chart no longer obeys the laws of physics. posted by Pretty_Generic at 7:42 PM on September 11, 2005
Apple are releasing two special edition pink Mylo iPods which are themed around his album Destroy Rock & Roll. Apparently. posted by brautigan at 8:14 PM on September 11, 2005
At about 30 seconds in I declared this the greatest post to mefi of all time. At 2 minutes I turned it off. What does that say about America??? posted by gagglezoomer at 8:15 PM on September 11, 2005
I liked it. But I also like Stella, too. posted by greasepig at 8:16 PM on September 11, 2005
Mylo is an amusing act. Definitely check out the other tracks on the album if you liked this track at all. posted by MillMan at 8:18 PM on September 11, 2005
P_G I take this oppurtunity to refer you to a MeFi posting, "you are all diseased" it might help if you can diagnose which of the multitude of psychometric ailments might prompt this bit of "eighties" posted by garficher at 8:25 PM on September 11, 2005
It's an average, average bootleg. But I'll give it props for the fact that, despite having a breakdown which says, repeatedly and remarkably obviously, "motherfucker's gonna drop the pressure", it's been getting constant daytime play on national radio stations. Last time that happened was when Planet of Sound ("this ain't no fuckin' around") was playlisted on Radio 1. posted by Len at 8:26 PM on September 11, 2005

I didn't know that Negativland lifted that vocal on the David Booie link. Who's Mylo? I'm so confused. posted by sourwookie at 9:17 PM on September 11, 2005
A lot can be done with that bass line after it's been stripped of all the 80s cliches.

Nah, the Super Furry Animals' "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" got accidental daytime play, and holds the record for "most sweary song played on Radio 1" with it's 140+ 'fucks'. posted by anagrama at 3:25 AM on September 12, 2005
> I guess americans don't get mylo
They will in 2 years time. posted by catchmurray at 5:20 AM on September 12, 2005
nah, we got Mylo months ago--we're on to The Go! Team now. : > posted by amberglow at 6:24 AM on September 12, 2005
So, can I get any backstory her? Who's Mylo, and what's the MSM and Negativland connection? posted by sourwookie at 6:50 AM on September 12, 2005
Negativland (scroll to bottom) say the sample comes from a religious flexi-disc they stole from a church. Although they also say it came from 1966, which is clearly false. posted by Pretty_Generic at 7:40 AM on September 12, 2005
Negativland used the rant as a sample years ago, now Mylo's done it. Who knows, maybe Negativland created it and made up a backstory. Mylo's just some guy who made an album over a year ago that's still getting some play, it seems. posted by mikeh at 7:55 AM on September 12, 2005
Mylo comes from Skye (an island on the northwest coast of Scotland) and is absolutely great live. But this song and mix have been around for at least a year and the spray painted
DEST
ROYR
ROCK
ROLL
was spotted around Glasgow for months before then.
This mix is ancient.
As for the Man Dont Give a Fuck by SFA. I bought the single at the time. It has great artwork and you can listen to a live version here
