Eben Brooks: Take Me Apart

[sbirilluccicoso]

i love adams douglas and i think this song is amazing , you are so cool! 'grats man , srsly :)

[ebenbrooks]

@sbirilluccicoso Thanks very much! :)

[worake]

Teleportation can also cause nausea, constant disorientation and the feeling that you was pulled thru a black hole inside a white hole....

[ebenbrooks]

@worake Yeah, pretty much. ;-)

[LaOraculo]

I thought Aldebaran was... quite YELLOW, if you know what I mean. As for Betelgeuse, I'm not that sure the "girls" (if you can even call them that) would do anything you ask them to. Rather, I would bet they would do anything THEY wanted with you (or your bloated corpse, of course).

Great song, BTW.

[ebenbrooks]

@LaOraculo Thanks! :) Glad you like it.

[viking977]

hyenas in the background, annoying.

other than that, great song!

[ebenbrooks]

@viking977 Thanks.

[albacca09]

Good Show! I don't know how many times I have read the books (probably not enough). Adams would be proud.

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you. That is a high compliment. *bow*

[tehDave08]

I bet Douglas would have bought you pint for this if he were still alive. Quality stuff!

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you very much. I'm most sorry I never got a chance to meet him. I heard he was a wonderful chap.

[enemycoke]

I read the book a while back and thought your "cover" of the song was great but just now when I was working on a paper and listening to the book on CD it came up again so I had to come back here and give another listen!

[ebenbrooks]

Yay! Glad you like it so much! :D

[BrakBoy]

Odd comment, but have you read Terry Pratchett? I'd recommended the discworld books for any fan of Douglas Adams.

ho know? Maybe it'll give you an idea for a new filk.

[ebenbrooks]

I have read some Pratchett, though none of the Discworld books so far. The reason being, mostly, that there are so bloody MANY of them, and I'm not sure I want to get started on something that huge! ;-) Nevertheless, it's been recommended enough that I think I'll have to read them in any case. Thanks for the suggestion. :D

[BrakBoy]

I'd say you should start with either The Color of Magic, Mort, or Small Gods.

[ebenbrooks]

Okay, thanks! :D

[Baalcebub]

If you don't want to get into the huge sagas, like those of the witches or the watch, there are some pretty good stand alones, like Pyramids, Small Gods, Moving Pictures, Thief of Time, The Hoghfather -even though this last two are technically part of the Death series, they are pretty much stand alones-, Monstrous Regiment, The Truth, and Soul Music... probably this last one's the one you should read, if only because of the subject of the power of music.

[ebenbrooks]

Oh, excellent. Thanks for the suggestions. :D

[timschools]

Douglas Adams would be proud~!

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you, and I'm glad you think so. I like to hope that he would be (and, perhaps, somewhere he is). ;-)

[misskittie1313]

this was way beyond awesome! :D

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you! :D

[Loki95531]

You are an awesome dude and a hoopy frood. I always wondered what this song would sound like and this is perfect. This and Hey There Chthulhu are my current favorite songs on youtube. I get funny looks when I sing the later song though. keep putting out the good shit and you got another fan.

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you very much, my friend! :D

[BrakBoy]

I was wondering- whats with your audiences? they seem pretty tough

[ebenbrooks]

They're not, really. It's that sometimes they're small, so there's not a lot of people to applaud.

[BrakBoy]

I loved it! I've been searching for months to find someone who actually performed this song- and defiantly not disappointed. I'll look into more of your stuff.

[ebenbrooks]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

[wDxZyqV]

XD

Just awesome, I'mma subscribe to you!

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you! :D

[ClownBaby1542]

Where did Adams write this? I don't remember it.

[ebenbrooks]

It's somewhere in Live, the Universe, and Everything. I'd have to dig through it to find exactly where.

[StonedMarmaduke]

This is awesome. You are clearly a hoopy frood.

[ebenbrooks]

Why thank you! :D I do try to keep track of where my towel is...

[Tereshinal]

...My friends a throwing a halloween party where we plan to be playing a steampunk'd rendition of D&D, and they asked me if I could play a couple of your songs for the party xD...

Would you mind if I did a cover of this song?

[ebenbrooks]

I would not at all! Be my guest! (Just be sure to credit me *and* Douglas Adams.)

[Tereshinal]

...You rock xD...I feel slightly less awful now when I roll my percentile dice when my players make the mistake of walking through a portal.

[ebenbrooks]

Hah! Thanks. This made me laugh. :D (I was in a long-running game that had portals like that...)

[sydneystatic]

Is there a myspace page perhaps?

[ebenbrooks]

I don't do MySpace for political reasons, but I do have a FaceBook, iMeem, and LiveJournal (all with the user name "ebenbrooks"), and my personal website, linked to on my channel page.

[sydneystatic]

Awesome song.

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you very much!

[littlebluemagic]

Whenever a print job gets lost traveling less than 100 yards, I sigh and say "This is why we don't have nice teleporters."

But I think this song says it so much more eloquently.

[ebenbrooks]

Heh. That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing! :D

[emoscott666]

Sounds great man :P

[Xacktar]

Yay!

[taratune]

You Beam me up Eben. What a fun song.

[ebenbrooks]

Heh. Thanks. :D
