These taglines are funny! I especially like the first one, it somehow reminds me of Excel Saga

And I really like the cast listing of this adaptation. Seth Rogan is an excellent choice for Nabeshin

Glad you like it!

Once our "sanitized for [New Zealand] government approval" and PG-13-rated story is complete, let's post it on this thread.

Cool! Now let's condense our two soundtracks into our own version of the soundtrack. I think the five songs I'd call "must-haves" in what we'll call "the definitive Puni Puni Poemy soundtrack" are "Seasons in the Abyss" by Slayer, "Not of This World" by Danzig, "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath, "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo, and "Stupid Girl" by Garbage. What do you think should be included in the combination?

Good choice! All that's left is to arrange the songs into a specific order, and we have our soundtrack!

[–] ShadySovereign 15 years ago

This is my arrangement of the songs (but I couldn't think of which song to put as the last song on the list, so I went with "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. It's a very fitting ending song for many soundtracks ):

1. "Stupid Girl" by Garbage
2. "The Hunter" cover by Blue Cheer
3. "Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo
4. "Descent (Falling Deeper Mix)" by Fear Factory
5. "Tongue Tied" by Eve 6
6. "Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath
7. "Back on a Mission" by Cirrus
8. "Skeletons of Society" by Slayer
9. "Seasons in the Abyss" by Slayer
10. "The Sound of Silence (electric version)" by Simon and Garfunkel
11. "All Along the Watchtower" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience
12. "4 Minutes" by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
13. "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen

Out of all the soundtracks we worked on so far, somehow I like this one the best because it has more songs of different genres mixed together

"Only Spartan women give birth to real men" - Queen Gorgo in 300

[–] ryanasaurus007 15 years ago

thx

Plz tell me the genres in question (and attribute them to each song as you go along).

>:(
"Are you trying to say "capisce"? Because it hurts my ears the way you say it."

[–] ShadySovereign 15 years ago

I'll list the songs according to genre (since there are some songs of the same type):

Psychedelic rock:

"The Hunter" cover by Blue Cheer

Alternative rock:

"Stupid Girl" by Garbage

Space rock:

"Spaceman" by Babylon Zoo

Electronica:

"Back on a Mission" by Cirrus

Industrial metal:

"Descent (Falling Deeper Mix)" by Fear Factory

Punk rock:

"Tongue Tied" by Eve 6

Heavy metal:

"Electric Funeral" by Black Sabbath

Thrash metal:

"Skeletons of Society" by Slayer
"Seasons in the Abyss" by Slayer

Classic rock:

"All Along the Watchtower" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

Pop:

"4 Minutes" by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland

Folk rock:

"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen
"The Sound of Silence (electric version)" by Simon and Garfunkel

But looking back at what I put down, it seems that most of the songs are sub-categories of Rock music, so it isn't exactly many different genres as I mentioned earlier; it's more like they are of many sub-genres of music together (with a few songs different altogether from rock).

I guess what I meant is that most of the songs listed in this soundtrack sound very diverse from each other.

Glad to see I'm not the only IMDb user who knows Slayer is not death metal as popular belief might say. (Whoever thinks Slayer is death metal, including Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Did Not Do The Research. Why Parker and Stone? Because Cartman says "Hippies can't stand death metal", and the song that scares the hippies away is "Raining Blood" by Slayer. I'd call that one Critical Research Failure, though Kerry King says of that particular South Park episode, "If we can horrify some hippies, we've done our job.")

This is wonderful, but how does Slayer, no matter how not death metal it is, have any place in Puni Puni Poemy?

"I can't talk right now, jerking off to Rupert Grint in drag." - Ryanasaurus007

[–] theodoricblood 15 years ago

Possibly because They Just Don't Care.

[–] ShadySovereign 15 years ago

I think the reason why most people think Slayer is 'death metal' is because any metal music in general is assumed by many to be death metal.

Out of all of today's genres of rock music, metal seems to be the most over-generalized genre since most people say that 'any metal song has to be death metal, and nothing else'. People have also frequently said the same thing about heavy metal.

This idea of generalizing music has happened to other genres as well (such as rap music, which is always confused with 'hip hop' because the two genres are nowadays constantly blended together).

And I like the South Park reference you wrote. It seems that even a clever series like South Park can make mistakes in their jokes

[–] ryanasaurus007 15 years ago

Not all metal music is falsely considered death metal. Slayer is classified as such by many simply because they were reported to have started the death metal movement.
