Orphans

[Voivrenetwork]

I love playing this loud in the car making people think "What the fuck is that?" lol I play it loud not to irritate people, because loud is the only way to play this song.. Fucking with people is just a great bonus!

[DiNKYWiNKYx3]

what kind of music is that?

[javiikiller]

@DiNKYWiNKYx3 No Wave, Noise rock, Post-punk.

lydia lunch ♥

[gradea100]

this is the first time I have checked this out and I LiOtVE

[Beerlejuice]

AWESOME SONG!!! I love No Wave!!! Lydia Lunch is the best! The video is great too, but it's almost TOO Hard to watch! :^(

[lanuitband]

that video kills my soul..ow..love it..

[TheCrypticjosh]

Yea I think there needs to be more Teenage Jesus & the jerks songs up, tho! Its pretty weak this is all thats up!

[IGetAround29]

ATTENTION. Honestly, art like this has not disappeared. I'm from New York, and this is still kind of live and strong. However, it's not in Manhattan anymore. It's moved to Brooklyn.

[Jewclops]

@IGetAround29 what are some bands?

[Gmancrap]

My mom was part of this scene by accident seeing as how she had moved to the states and lived in NYC in the mid 70's and was raised during the late 70's and 80's. It just happens she was there at the right time. She tells me she used to have a boxs full of pictures, LP's, cassettes, demos, posters, art work and some shirts. But then the 90's came and she threw all of that stuff away and got a job. Now she listens to mainstream radio hits and classic rock, ugggg...

[unclemort1960]

i remember a mate of mine asking the DJ at the marquee (in london)if he had any teenage jesus and the jerks `he just said `no thanks`

[MissDroplette]

RE: Monks influence? I doubt NY artists in their 20's in 1980 were aware of the Monks. they were barely known (in U.S.) and not rediscovered (I don't think) till the 90s. This song has just simple militaristic kind of beat -- not some style influenced by an obscure band. it just happens the Monks were unusual in how they used it (military beat with kind of an upswing -- don't know the correct word for it, sorry) a lot when no one else was. But DC5 did simple militaristic beat in a way...

[davepx]

Divine. I still remember hearing this on the radio and probably never hearing anything quite the same way again. I fear there'll never be anything quite like it again.

[Caligula860]

enserio la amo

[ynkrock7]

Who made this video? Is it the official video for this song?

[thechickenpicker]

please tell me im not the only one to notice this!

The a mexican version of the bass line/guitar riff in this song was used in the trailer for Johnny Depps new cartoon movie "Rango"

check it out on youtube and tell me im wrong!

[ynkrock7]

@thechickenpicker Haha it is actually very similar. It would be ridiculous if they stole it from this song though.

[beAloneonTheStreet]

powerful...

Little orphans running thru the bloody snow

Little orphans running thru the bloody snow

Little orphans running thru the blood thru the blood thru the blood

No more ankles and no more clothes

Little orphans running thru the snow

Little orphans in the blood in the blood in the blood

[stoogefan138]

@thegreatcrimso I picture the holocaust.jewish children,then read the lyrics and think of it.

[songforthegirl]

one of my all time favourites

[MrTheWeck]

Masterpiece. Thanks.

[eyerock36]

Brutal and frightening...and brilliant in it's simplicity (referring to the song, which first gripped me back in '77). The video complements the song perfectly, and makes you think: what on earth are we as the human race doing? Why do we live the way we do? How can we keep from destroying ourselves? This is art. It's supposed to make you think.

[RhythmeMonotone]

Oh I miss Teenage Jesus =/

[jejune14]

Yeah! Monks influenced. Same beat.

[hodjepodje]

Alot of awesomeness in this shit.

[Tombsquad]

Feeling some Monks influence

[PropanePenny]

♥

[Ruskiedann]

Went to go see them last night WAS FUCKING BADASS

this guy in the audience goes Lydia I love you and she says "Love yourself, it's cheaper."

[PhantomDog]

I love the story I heard of Lydia Lunch trying to push Axel Rose down a flight of stairs.

[gosiatana]

This song is just fucking incredible!

The brutality....... :>

Bravo.

[rmcklayer]

[janslike]

Haha, one of those clips is from Escape From New York.

Great album though

[eclecticbuni]

so true slugluv1313, so true

[shennyhoney]

es una grandisima perra!!!!! la AMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slugluv1313]

yet another reminder that the lame swill that passes for "punk" to-day just CANNOT compare . . .

[wastedGYBE]

That isn't punk nirod.

It's called No-wave and it came out in the 70's.

and you're fucking wrong.

[devinehell]

this is very newyork no-wave.prob why kim gordon befriended her, to bad lydia is a no talent wannabe.

[theSmiler]

Congratulations! You're a moron!

[devinehell]

well i was replying to slugluv1313 comment which was removed and i was being more of a mormon than a moron.

[mordita13]

This is just an assumption but I get the feeling that people only say she's a "no talent wannabe" (on every single Lydia video) because she's a woman who hung out with guys in bands. A lot of people think that this makes her an automatic groupie even though she obviously went on to do her own thing. These people are called "dumbasses".

[krazy5000]

the music doesnt take that much talent but thinking and creating this music takes A LOT of talent

[wattahhh]

@mordita13 No I think they call her a "no talent wannabe" because she sounds like Hitler raping squiril with a cock made of barbed wire while a baby rotates on speed cook in a microwave. And the band conforms to this as well. This isn't art its just an indie pretentiousness dick size competition.

[shane8607]

@wattahhh What the fuck are you talking about?? Hitler raping a squirrel? Do think about what you say like at all? or are you just a retard trying to be funny? You sound like my 13 yearld little sister and all her scene friends, all your saying us just retarded blabbal that dosnt make sense. And the band is probably one of the best punk bands to ever play. So shut the fuck up and think about what you say next ime. Try to make more sense too dumbass

[EternalPeaceMusic]

@wattahhh I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't know shit about any genre of music

[ajadefish]

@mordita13

I thought she originally was the only person in the "band" and played all the instruments in the studio. I love her regardless.

[PinkGrapes10]

@mordita13 lol wut

[nazaiam]

@mordita13 she was a groupie but she did go off to do her own thing.. i only say she was because i saw a documentary called kill your idols.

[j7m7f7]

@mordita13 * "misogynistic dumbasses"

[madpilot24]

that for this man!!! lydia rules!

[soulpony]

wowowowowowowowowowow

thank you!



[simonbnyc]

Along with "New Rose" by the Damned and "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles, this makes up the 3 greatest rock records of all time. You don't need anything else. Astonishing video too. Who made it?

[rodentia]

hmm how very very very very wrong you are in many many many many many ways

[heartworm666]

sardonic fuck

[simonbnyc]

I actually wasn't being sardonic. There are only FOUR records you need. THIS, "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles, "New Rose" by the Damned and "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown" by Augustus Pablo. If you have some space, add "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana, and "Music for 18 Musicians" by Steve Reich.

[doezeedoats]

I could see how triangulating off of those three you could generate much of the (good) rock music space.

[zezilio]

love lydia

[jonathan223]

fucking brutal
