[New Demo] Winter Fling

Phobiac - 11-22-2004 at 12:28 PM

Who's going to be my Winter Fling?

Ima Robot is gracious enough to give .net something tastey to go along with our Thanksgiving week; Winter Fling.

I just got back from a eight hour drive from Vegas to LA, so no time to write anything right now. Damn 215 got closed down!

Thank you Ima Robot for thinking of .net!!!

Cheers.

I love the Beach Boys-esq backing vocals!

Yay! I'm so excited. I wish my computer weren't so damn slow so I could listen to it right now. I'll just have to wait a few short minutes to hear it in all its glory. Thanks for putting it up.

JunoRedneck - 11-22-2004 at 01:45 PM

My computer is being really slow right now and taking a long time to play it! This is so exciting though. Except I lost my voice, and I don't know how to be all happy and excited without a voice. I guess I'll manage. Woo hoo! New music!

JunoRedneck - 11-22-2004 at 02:05 PM

This song is flippin' awesome. I've already listened to it like 6 times in a row. It makes me want more new music though. It also makes me wish it were Christmas already. Except, the sooner Christmas break gets here, the sooner I have to take finals. Ick!
Awesome song though :yes:

EvilMotivator - 11-22-2004 at 02:09 PM

That song is so god damn awesome. I love the high vocals in the third minute. Man, this is the best day in a while.

poobs - 11-22-2004 at 02:27 PM

Wheee!! :D

poobs - 11-22-2004 at 02:29 PM

I should add, Thanks to Ima Robot for sharing with us and thanks to Phob for putting it up for us! I love you guys..:D

ImaCrazySod - 11-22-2004 at 02:44 PM

EvilMotivator - 11-22-2004 at 02:48 PM

Sorry, I don't know what would be wrong.

poobs - 11-22-2004 at 02:51 PM

What browser are you using? Sometimes I have issues with Netscape so I have to use Internet Explorer..I have it downloaded to my computer so I can email it to you if it still doesn't work..

ImaCrazySod - 11-22-2004 at 02:52 PM

Browser??? Im pretty sure its Internet Explorer

ImaCrazySod - 11-22-2004 at 03:01 PM

OHHH I switched browsers and it works now, thanx for helping me

poobs - 11-22-2004 at 03:37 PM

seacaptain - 11-22-2004 at 04:29 PM

Happy holidays everybody!

poobs - 11-22-2004 at 05:41 PM

:D

Do I even need to say how awesome this song is? Then again, they could record themselves taking a shit and I'm sure I'd dig it..:duh:

Brody just made me dance with him to the song..He digs it, too..He knew who it was as soon as Alex started singing..That's my boy!!! :D

God bless us, everyone!

draconian - 11-22-2004 at 06:26 PM

I love a good fanclub holiday bonus.

Great recording, lyrics, construction...

And the caterwauling chorus at the end, brilliant, typical Bot taking it in the opposite direction.

Thanks, guys!

Justin - 11-22-2004 at 10:37 PM

Glad it's warming your hearts. It was fun to do, sort of an offhand thing we recorded up and Timmy's; we thought it had a certain charm. Plus, I love the lyrics.

.net RULES.

Thanks for keeping things alive.

JMJ

JunoRedneck - 11-22-2004 at 10:37 PM

I seriously cannot stop listening to this song. It puts me in such a good mood :D

EvilMotivator - 11-22-2004 at 10:48 PM

It's been on repeat for some time now. I love it. Oh, who all does the background vocals?

JunoRedneck - 11-22-2004 at 10:51 PM

I was gonna ask that, but I posted that other thing at the same time as JMJ and I didn't want to post something directly after my other post... you know? I've confused myself...

Seb - 11-22-2004 at 11:36 PM

Rad song, who will be my winter fling?

7cut - 11-23-2004 at 12:41 AM

WHAT is a winter fling the stupid German girl asks ....

poobs - 11-23-2004 at 06:27 AM

You know..Like a love affair..Only during the winter.. :yes:

I like when he says Chicago.. :duh:

7cut - 11-23-2004 at 07:32 AM

yeah, it´s nice to cuddle up with someone beneath the fire place when it gets cold outside..

EvilMotivator - 11-23-2004 at 11:05 AM

Me too. My favorite part is right after he says "It's cold," and then the brrrr thing. Good stuff.

draconian - 11-23-2004 at 11:10 AM

The cliche is summer fling, lots of songs about that topic (Summer Lovin' comes to mind) but none that I can think of about a winter fling.

Also the implication that it will end in the spring is kinda off-center.

Phobiac - 11-23-2004 at 12:09 PM

I heard that they were challenged to write a “seasonal” song. I think that they pulled it off nicely!

This is just one of about 60 demos that got laid down. Craziness!

Also, rumors abound about some upcoming shows.

You know where you will here about them first.

draconian - 11-23-2004 at 02:31 PM

Cannot update disco for some reason, want to add it w/ the key 2004DEMO

n0lram - 11-23-2004 at 03:35 PM

Are you serious? Because I will road-trip it down to LA if I have to. I just need to steal a car and get some money... most likely by stealing again. Yes, yes, I'll find a way.

poobs - 11-23-2004 at 03:57 PM

I was craving this song all damn day at work..I'm having my fix right now..:duh:

happysmilely - 11-23-2004 at 04:36 PM

Ah more and more good news! They made my holiday

EvilMotivator - 11-23-2004 at 08:42 PM

Some shows sound fabulous. It's been far too long since the last one.

TurtleEnterprises - 11-23-2004 at 08:56 PM

Yea dates all the way back in the days to Aug 21 my berfday:d

7cut - 11-24-2004 at 01:06 AM

they should play the FLEX in Vienna and the Registratur in Munich......yep.
i´ve been told by a colleague they´d fit there nicely. www.flex.at / www.dieregistratur.de

talking about robots....a coworker showed me a giant tattoo on her lower leg ...of a large dancing robot...crazy. must have hurt like hell.

batcave_baby - 11-24-2004 at 01:06 PM

This song has a noticable (to me) Zombies influence to it. Please no shows until this baby gets out of me! :yawn:

But, I hated the teacher and her stupid assignments so I just made my own art :D Or just sat there and listened to music.

minimandy14 - 11-24-2004 at 10:03 PM

well this is a pretty damn addicting song. . . .

Noisemonster - 11-25-2004 at 12:05 AM

this song is so sweet! thank you ima robot for giving it to us!

Get This On the Radio - Now!

zartan - 11-25-2004 at 08:43 AM

Timing is perfect - We need this on the Radio and watch the Fan Base Grow Like Crazy. Release it as a single in US & Japan Immediatey!

Outstanding Song!

I need a Winter Fling right now - the wheels in my mind are turning!

TurtleEnterprises - 11-25-2004 at 10:45 AM

Welcome Zartan.

I feel as though im greeting an Alien.

minimandy14 - 11-25-2004 at 12:43 PM

and you sound like it to. . . . .welcome zartan. .. . . . heh yea alein alright

draconian - 11-25-2004 at 01:25 PM

It sounds like a good one to release to KROQ in L.A. - otherwise their holiday songs are pretty much limited to the Adam Sandler tune and that one by the Waitresses.

Then we could descend upon the station with requests.

minimandy14 - 11-25-2004 at 10:38 PM

hmm that would be cool if i heard IMA on the radio up here once in a while.

disjointed - 11-25-2004 at 11:33 PM

Aww it's so cute!! Makes me happy and warm and fuzzy.

lomax - 11-26-2004 at 02:38 AM

i just downloaded it at uni, but havent listened to it yet! cant wait to though......just about to text my brother and see if he's heard it. And rumors of some dates! oh man, this gets better and better. Just need to get some head phones and then i can lsiten to it! (hi everyone btw!)

7cut - 11-26-2004 at 03:30 AM

noteable: if you re-arrange the letters of Zartan it says Tarzan!

poobs - 11-26-2004 at 06:43 AM

I was wondering where you were, Lomax! I hope you get to hear the song soon! :D

Winter fling

tsl1uk - 11-27-2004 at 01:12 AM

EvilMotivator - 11-27-2004 at 01:14 AM

TheDrunkMime - 11-27-2004 at 06:53 PM

I like it thanks for sharing it :duh:

TurtleEnterprises - 11-27-2004 at 06:53 PM

This song wasn't posted on the .com?
Where are all these newbies comming from...?

seacaptain - 11-27-2004 at 07:44 PM

Phobiac spammed our e-mails, saying "come here for a new song."

That's me! I spam the email like Poobs spams the posts.

My favorite lines or lyrics in this song:

"Not like New York or ChicagO"

"All the strong things I said in May"

"The warm jets have all been turned off"

"Blame it on natural design"

You really have to live in LA to understand the Santa Ana winds and calling them warm jets is so perfect. I love that one day in winter when the Santa Ana's come in and it heats up to like 70!

The "bame it on natural design" line reminds me of the "natural change" line from Sine Your Life Away.

7cut - 12-7-2004 at 01:25 AM

oh you know what Glow wine (= Glühwein) is .....this spicy red wine which tastes quite sugary and of cinnamon that is sold on xmas-markets here. you told me to keep some when you´ll be coming over in spring time .... :rolleyes:

waaah, had some buddies from VIenna over and we´ve been to another xmas market yesterday and they had hot caipirinhas and hot margaritas ...how sick is that !!!!!!

Noisemonster - 12-7-2004 at 08:31 AM

hot caipis? :no:

Noisemonster - 12-7-2004 at 08:32 AM

Cholula - 12-7-2004 at 05:16 PM

Who here can't wait until they get a chance to see Ima Robot live again.I know I can't.Deffinetly excited to see what else they come up with.All I know is that their songs are amazing and their music is harsh to some degree,but also their music can be soft and very beautiful,especially to me.:D

minimandy14 - 12-7-2004 at 07:37 PM

whoa were did you come from?

happysmilely - 12-8-2004 at 07:36 AM

who cares, welcome dear sir(or siret). sit down relax have a few drinks
(quite "minimandy14" your cramping my style) :lol:

no really, welcome, yes Ima Robot is the best, that is why we are here :D

Why thank you for the welcoming wagon.I am a female not no big harry monster.I have been part of this site in '03 and never chat here.I just still can't stop talking about this ultra cool band and you the same?All I know is that IMa Robot have some mega fans and most hottest.Am I right or am I right.

TurtleEnterprises - 12-8-2004 at 04:32 PM

:duh: I HATE NEWBIES. no im kidding welcome

Cholula - 12-8-2004 at 06:52 PM

I AM NOT A NEWBIE just to clarify.Just really excited to talk about a band that is awesome. Who here can't live without music,I know I can't.My family is full of musicians,so music is always there.So when I and my gals brought home the Ima Robot demo from the Ameoba store my family loved it ,and it is hard to come by my aunt with some music we like,but she loved the disc.So you can see why I talk about Ima Robot being cool,because for us to see a band more than once, must mean they are special.
Make your fun but remember I can control your thoughts.

minimandy14 - 12-8-2004 at 08:03 PM

woa you can, thats just freaky.
i know what you mean though, i can't live without music either which is why i am here. and happy i am sorry i didn't mean to cramp your style. . . . .i didn't know you had one :lol:

I would say welcome, but you insist you're not new, so..Umm..Word..:duh:

7cut - 12-9-2004 at 07:02 AM

your family likes IMA Robot ? gee, my family doesn´t like the music i´m into ...my dad likes March music, my mom likes oldies, my sister likes silly electronic house music...there you go. :no:

Noisemonster - 12-9-2004 at 08:15 AM

haha, 7 you should be lucky: my family does not like music at all :lol:

Cholula - 12-9-2004 at 03:38 PM

Aren't your parents supportive with the music you listen to,even though they absolutely hate it?
Poobs sorry for that wild dream,just thought you would like a penis in it just on a girl.HaHa.
Jette, yes I am indeed a freak, I guess the word got out.:D:D:D
