Super Roots 9

[edit]

Can someone add this to the discography? I don't know how to add images, otherwise I would do it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.33.191.40 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 13 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Done. See Boredoms discography. = ∫tc 5th Eye 20:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Folk music

[edit]

I removed something involving their preference of the term "folk music". While it's completely possible due to their "weirdness", I have never heard of them calling themselves that. Didnt mean to insult anyone, but please provide proof. --Jared 16:10, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Where did all those related groups come from? What do they all have in common? --Ardonik 08:22, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

I'm not sure of all of them, but most of them are bands that various members of the Boredoms took part in or founded. A few:
  • Hantarash-Noise group founded in the 80s by Yamataka (then Yamatsuka, don't ask me about the name changes, Eye)
  • Z-Rock Hawaii-A compilation between Ween and Yamataka Eye. the CD is highly recommended and very funny.
  • OOIOO-A band founded by the sexy Yoshimi from the Boredoms (she sings in OOIOO).
  • UFO Or Die - Noise-Rock group consisting of Yamataka Eye, Yoshimi, and some guy.
Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but most of the Boredoms members have been in the noise/noise-rock scene for a very long time and have contributed a lot to the scene. Idolcrash 05:45, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I don't know if all the bands are really related to the Boredoms but most links need to be fixed becuase they redirect to anything but a band. Eraserhead 20:09, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Their name might not include 'The', but that doesn't mean the word is improper to use in front of their name. A member of the IWW was a Wobbly, multiple members were Wobblies, and yet one would say "The Wobblies were members of the IWW" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.28.69.216 (talk • contribs) 17:59, 4 March 2005 (UTC).[reply]
Also, I believe on some of their albums (I'd have to pull them out) they are listed as The Boredoms. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.164.231.195 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 29 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

Hanatarash bulldozer incident

[edit]

There's a picture on the cover of Japanese Homegrown Vol. 2, a compilation by Gianormous Records, that may well be of the Hanatarash bulldozer incident. See Crappy little Amazon rendering of compilation's cover. --erisdiscordia (a guest) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.198.112.101 (talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 July 2006.

Current activities

[edit]

Based on the news of www.tinymixtapes.com it seems that the Boredoms (Vooredoms) are working on a 6 disc box set. I have not been able to confirm this anywhere else, nor is there news on what this box set will contain. But this might be relevant in the current activities section, or possibly elsewhere. I am not well versed in wikipedia protocal.

Here's my resource. TinyMixTapes Boredoms Article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.23.183.2 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Article stuff

[edit]

I added an info box, a section describing the band's history, and I split the discography off into its own article, as well as reformating the article slightly, and deleting some info about Eye's personal history. Sources are still needed, if anyone has any, and if anyone finds any flaws with my write up of the band's history please correct it. Also does anyone have an actual picture of the band that could be used in this article? - Fishmonk 29, October, 2006

Dude, that was a zany amount of editing. Do you have a ref for the original name of the band? - Jonathan Williams 00:13, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It is mentioned in a few disographies I have seen. But my source is an interview with eye from a old zine called "Show-Kai" all the way back from 1990 where eye talks about the band's early history. The magazine covered mostly japanese rock, and was published in the usa. I don't know if it still exists anymore though. - Fishmonk 01 November 2006
The name of the compilation "U.S.A" is on is "Kill S.P.K." released by the Japanese label Beast 666 (http://www.777was666.com/666.html) The german label Dossier released the song on their "Dead Tech Sampler I: No Wave from Japan" LP as well. - Fishmonk

Who can translate Japanese to English?

[edit]

There's a magazine article with scans here that are in Japanese. About 30 pages in all, it seems to cover all of Boredoms' history up until 2004. I'm working on a partial rewrite of the article and would really appreciate having some bio info to look at! Thanks. = ∫tc 5th Eye 02:34, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GAN on hold

[edit]
  • "beginning in 1982" --> "back to 1982"
  • "has been featured on most Boredoms recordings as well." --> "has also featured on most Boredoms recordings."
  • The third paragraph of the lead shouldn't really be there...use your own words, if you must...
  • The first para of the Formation and early years could do with more sourcing...
  • So could the 2nd.
  • "Eye's Hanatarash-related project UFO or Die" - the band name is "UFO or Die"?
  • "group being replaced" --> "group, to be replaced"
  • "citing Sonic Youth and Funkadelic[3]" - ref needs punctuation under it; move to end of sentence perhaps
  • "Some people disputed these claims however," - needs ref
  • Some refs need accessdates. And some need lots more publisher info etc.
  • "some critics even identifying the album as affirmation that Boredoms are "the most out-there band in the world"" - who? which critic?
  • First para of Current activities section unsourced
  • "while Eye and Yoshimi have come out with new records of their own this year." - needs ref

Leave a note on my talk page when done. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 06:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Passed. By the way, some of those external links (I'm looking at #3) aren't really necessary. The rest is fine (per the comments on my talk page). Nice work! dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 23:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! (I may remove those links at some point too.) = ∫tc 5th Eye 23:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Band members' real names

[edit]

I'm trying to find the real names of all Boredoms members. I've found Atari and Yojiro on Discogs here and here, but EDA eludes me completely, and the only thing I've found for Hosoi is a little-known Japanese band in which the founder/bassist is named Hosoi Hisato with a MySpace here, which I'm mostly convinced on but reluctant to add. Any thoughts? = ∫tc 5th Eye 04:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't have any luck with E-Da (looked at DRUMIZE's myspace) but Yoshimi may actually be Yoshimi Goto now (IIRC she is married to Shoji Goto).Jonathan Williams (talk) 06:52, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't heard anything about Yoshimi getting married—can you find a source? Also, what do you think about Hosoi? = ∫tc 5th Eye 16:38, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty sure its her second marriage actually; although she might not have married S. Goto. (If you google "congratulate 2" there's probably some info on an incarnation of Eye's "Destroy 2" that played at her (1st?) wedding). --Jonathan Williams (talk) 19:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Low importance?

[edit]

You can't be kidding me.

"This article has been rated Low-importance on Alternative music"

Pardon me, Wikipedia, but just look outside the record sales. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.148.245.33 (talk) 17:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
