… Which as all you Esperanto speakers know is Esperanto for …. GOBLIN COCK!!
I made a bit of an impulse buy again at lunchtime today and it has changed my life, irrevocably and for ever. I breezed into Probe Records in Liverpool and rifled through the new releases, as I often do on a Monday, not knowing that a life changing event was mere inches away. There it was:
Yes, you read that right, I bought Necronomidonkeykongimicon by Goblin Cock.
Record collecting = done. There’s no point any more. Goblin Cock just won music.
690 Down (still).
Actually Koboldo Koko in Esperanto means cock as in rooster, not penis. What you want to say is Kobolda kaco.
Robert, thank you! You may have saved me much embarrassment in unusual circumstances at some intimate moment in the future!
I’ve always liked the idea of esperanto since reading the Stainless steel Rat books by Harry Harrison at an impressionable age.
How does one not leave the record store with such a title?!
No gentleman would. I did the decent thing.
Open knapsack!
Go West!
Kill Jester!
etc…
I’m a bit thrown by “alternative sounding” though… sounds like they failed their D20 “genre” roll.
They confounded my expectations. Damn you Lord Phallus!
I had a Goblin Teasmaid* once. That made a horrible sound too.
*google it. You won’t be disappointed.
My grandparents had one when I was a nipper, I used to think it the total height of gadgetry and sophistication. Just think the chance to spill boiling liquid over your prone body every morning, without even having to sit up properly!
My mum had one – they were more trouble than anything. I think the design went back to the middle-ages, where they were known as goblin milkmaids. (apparently, Goblin is an old Norse word for a pondersplunk)
Jings. I have no other words.
No other words are necessary. When I leave my collection to the nation, I shall insist that this one is displayed prominently.
So far, I have only mastered “NecroDonkeyKong” as a pronunciation for the album name, but I hereby pledge to keep at it. You people with your vinyl, you make me …. a little jealous. Ha! Burning Coffee World and runes!!
It’s going to be a bugger to get the name of the LP tattooed across my shoulders.
In runes…
Was the album any good or is it just a catchy name for the band? You know like Gay Bikers on Acid, great name but everyone I know whose heard them say they suck.
On a cursory listen its okay but not the fireball I was hoping for. They have a down-tuned almost Soundgarden-y feel about them, which surprised me.
That does sound interesting.
That gives a whole new meaning to the wrestler Koko Beware.
He was always running around holding his bird.
I am glad the album is a solid colour.
I would be quite tentative to purchase Goblin Cock splatter.
I feel like a teacher losing control of an unruly class!
That vinyl looks sweet.
Might I suggest to wear latex gloves when handling the Goblin Cock.
I understand it is standard procedure.
I will wait for the live album. I would assume the tilte would be
Goblin Cock: Live at The Glory Hole.
Faster Pussycat did one called ‘The Power & The Glory Hole’.
You and Goblin Cock deserve each other. I hope you’ll be very happy.
Thank you, I can think of no higher honour.
Can I also add, on a design note, that I enjoyed the way the purple vinyl clashed so perfectly with the red label. These guys are all class.
Yup. One day I will pass this LP on to my grateful heirs, that will be a special moment.
I looked up class in the dictionary and one of the definitions was ‘The bands Goblin Cock and Steel Panther.’
and Rick James.
Haha this album is awesome-looking. 1537 for the win!
How could I have left it there in the shop? all alone, unloved.
Too bad I didn’t see this for one of my Music Challenges. It would have fit in perfectly. pulled up iTunes and listened to a couple tracks, it is actually pretty good.
I agree, musically it isn’t what I expected – more alternative sounding actually.
Exactly. I was expecting something really heavy and some loud vocals.
“More alternative sounding actually.”
You kind of lost me there.
It has odd post-grunge touches. I was expecting a punk metal fireball, the music is (bizarrely) more serious than that.
Serious? That’s a tad odd…
It is.
I heard Goblin Cock is loved by young lasses until they get married.
I see what you did there.
Oooh Matron!
HAHAHAHA! Oh my! This is the band whose CD I found in Ottawa, and took a picture of the cover. Then I showed the picture to Jen’s GRANDPARENTS and asked if they liked the name of the band!!!
And were they big fans already?!
If they weren’t then, they are now!
I have never wanted to buy one of those LP frames for my wall as much as I do right now.
For the dining room.
For every room! I like stuff like this, it gives me hope for all the creative nutters out there.
I have a bunch of those frames. So far, with the kids so small still, I haven’t put up anything like this. Mostly old Rush LPs I rescued where the artwork is OK but the LP itself is too hacked to play.
