I know what my problem is with the music Gus likes.
Even though I do think in english sometimes I still hardly listen to more than 30% of the lyric content in tunes if the language is any other than my native.
Might be something related to how my attention works.
Before I started speaking english more, I was already switched to the mode of listening that strains to discern the elements that make the whole, to catch the way the timbres morph etc.
Hence I will never be able to get into pop music properly. Except it's polish pop. For better or worse.

Wektor are you a Pole?

This is a totally different kind of epic than I had in mind, but counting it.

Boredoms - Livwe!! (Super Roots 9)

this must count as epic: 3 drummers, a 24 piece choir and EYE manifest the cosmos

Ditto, I dig.

need a half time gabba edit of this.

No.

This needs an ltj bukem and if not a kirk degiorgio remix

Just no.

 

[sus]

anyway more of that absolute gash for Gus.

A canonical example that may be too corny to count, but I'll count it since it's in the spirit

 

[sus]

no no no. THIS is epic:

hey gus the tune i posted yesterday is by add n to x and it's called the revenge of the black regent

 

[linebaugh]

No, I'm sorry Linebaugh, I've just now seen what you posted and they are not even close

DLaurent made an OK attempt with Sister Sledge, but I think it should be pretty obvious that "I Feel Love" is the only epic disco song ever written

Youre beyond repair

100%. I was at the thing in DUMBO Brooklyn on the 77 Boa Drum dvd, know one of the drummers and snuck into the pre-show walkthrough in one of the warehouses nearby. it was a really great 90 minutes on a warm summer evening (started at 7:07 pm on July 7 [7/7], 2007).

a few Springsteen tracks on "born to run" were considered epic at the time. maybe still are for a lot of people.

 

[Leo]

not about to read the past 13 pages (no offense, Gus), so not sure what's been posted. 61 million YouTube views can't be wrong. or maybe they can.

Great addition, Leo joins the thread hall of fame alongside Biscuits.

Something about this is off, but it's close.

Definitely the most epic Robyn song. Not 100% sure it's epic but it's almost there.

Nope try again

 

[Leo]

does something like "born to run" or "jungle land" translate internationally, you think? they seem so urAmerica, yet that sort of thing is also fetishized (or hated) in various parts of the world.

does this work in, say, Australia or Italy?

 

[Leo]

unlike something like Robyn, which is custom-built for a global audience.

 

[Leo]

setting aside that we all hate U2 (I assume), they've got stuff that wants to be epic.

surely this post is proof that this is a misbegotten thread
