Title: Achewood Radio - The Tenmen
Post by: Golfhaus on January 11, 2005, 11:31:40 pm

So I've downloaded the Tenmen MP3s from the Achewood Radio portion of the site and have gotten them promptly stuck in my head.

I sent them to a non-Achewoodian friend of mine who's real into electronic music, techno, whatever the hell they're calling it these days, and he said, "Man, this is awesome. I'm gonna have to send this to my friends."

I don't know if the Tenmen is Onstad playing with his computer, or someone he knows doing it, or what, but good show. I can't wait for Lucas and his friends to speculate on what awesome group is putting this together, doing research and finding out it's three cartoon cats.

I missed this on the first go-round, but I have to say that I'd like to hear some more Tenmen as well.  Before posting this, I went back to Radio Achewood and noticed that there is a new Tenmen track called "80" out there.  I'm not sure how long that's been there, but I didn't notice it last time I was there.  

It's not bad either.

Seriously?  To me either song sounds like it should be looping behind the main menu of a DVD or something - it drives, but it doesn't go anywhere.

I've listened to both songs a couple of times and I have a hard time thinking of any part that could get stuck in my head.

Stuck in your head like an icepick, or like a caramel?

Quote from: "Turbo Ninja"

I've listened to both songs a couple of times and I have a hard time thinking of any part that could get stuck in my head.

There isn't really a "part" that gets stuck in my head, say, the same way the guitar riff from "Jack and Diane" gets stuck in my head from time to time. It's just the overall feel of it. "Sidewalk Song" sounds a little apocolyptic to me, while "80" feels... well, I dunno how "80" feels to me. The best I can describe it is "as a quiet alley in a busy, noisy city." It makes sense to me, but I don't know why.

Both make me think of the strips that take place in the Underground, but this may have been preconditioned since that's where we see The Tenmen in the strip. But when I picture the Underground through the lens of a Tenmen soundtrack, it makes the Underground seem a bit more sinister than we've come to know it.

Either that, or I REALLY need to lay off the Jack Daniels before I come on the board.
