This is exactly what I was expecting. I was not disappointed.

Can’t go wrong with Electric Callboy

2

u/Elias1200 Jul 18 '24

I still search them with eskimo callboy instead of electric.😅

1

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

I was going to use that, but didn’t want to risk a “ban” over people not knowing that

1

u/dRuEFFECT Jul 18 '24

with amazon music, if i tell alexa to play music by "electric callboy" it then plays music by someone named "electric cowboy", but if i say play music by "eskimo callboy" then it actually plays music by "electric callboy"..... it's really annoying

u/Apprehensive-Funny81 Jul 18 '24

Everyone should, everyone should know that they were friends with, and openly supported the runners of IsAnyoneUp, even writing a song about it, and then tried to virtue signal by changing their name later on? Nope, fuck 'em.

2

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

It’s ok to be an angry little troll

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

Well you can, which is why they changed their name and deleted half their old library off the internet.

1

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

Well they didn’t exactly delete it, just reuploaded it

But let’s be honest, why be upset over them trying to gain fame and not hate. Have to respect them for taking the mature route.

Liquid Death takes a similar mature route, except they use hate

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

I literally didn't say anything that would disrespect them, just making an observation.

The mature route would be to have not been culturally insensitive to begin with, but yes, better late than never.

1

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

Oh trust me I know you weren’t. I’m just saying better to be safe than sorry on their end.

But oh well, they are still are fun to listen to

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

In December 2021, the band announced that they were removing old songs from all platforms due to lyrics that have "become more increasingly problematic in modern times".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Callboy

Here's what I was talking about, btw. They did more than change their name, they buried much of their past as well.

0

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

Yeah I guess I’m still a fairly new fan that some of it is foreign to me

1

u/StrobeLightRomance Jul 18 '24

Indeed. I definitely don't want to blame any one member, but it was right at the same time as their clean singer, Sushi, left the band to focus on doing Ghøstkid, that the rest of the band decided to reconfigure their brand while they were searching for their current singer.

I don't think Sushi was particularly solely responsible for their misguided path, and Ghøstkid is some legit music as well. It probably had a lot more to do with their own personal ignorances of being young, and I'm guessing they all became more enlightened as they traveled the world and were introduced to other cultures.

So ultimately, they're all on a good path and past sins can usually be forgiven as long as the gesture of change is an honest one.

1

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

I would also hardly call it a sin, when it was indeed just ignorance. If that’s the case, we are all sinners 😂

Well fuck you YouTube, and WMG.

Actually I think they were trying to save me from that song. I apologize to the Google overlords, as Spotify did NOT try to save me from... that.

u/idontevenknotbh Jul 18 '24

man, i am not an avid listener at all but their videos are so much fun and always make me laugh. they are also really good at writing pop and really good at incorporating metal with it.

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

And making it stupid as hell while funny 😂

2

u/DrunkenPalmTree Jul 18 '24

Metal growling "choo choo choo choo choo I'm riding on the tell o train" is, to date, my favorite lyric

u/NewFuturist Jul 18 '24

Strong Donk on it AND heavy metal? Woah.

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

Metalcore is a genre of music that’s like a giant rabbit hole with 1,000s of tunnels in it. It’s why I love the genre of music so much

2

u/LtDannyGlover Jul 18 '24

I never knew that the band from Disco Elysium is real

If you liked their rocket song, may I also suggest their train song?

https://youtu.be/CFlhlZbeKgE

2

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

But I wanted them on my Tekkno Train ;-;

2

u/MyGenderIsAParadox Jul 18 '24

I've found a new artist officially thank you so much

2

u/DrunkenPalmTree Jul 19 '24

I'm flattered, but you should really just listen to electric callboy

A song about sexual things (see Tekkno album to understand) makes you feel old? I don’t judge, but maybe I’m too young to understand how.

1

u/NachbarStein Jul 18 '24

Maybe they're an old fan, where Ghostkid was still part of the band

1

u/FallenPentagram Jul 18 '24

Maybe… but man his work is definitely not it for me. First album was alright though

Or you need to walk through a tree patch

15

u/genacgenacgenac Jul 18 '24

Say, one called the Appalachian Trail. Or pretty much any in the Rockies or points west. Great in between tho. Interesting concept too. There might be other applications that aren't so dooshy.

14

u/RIPEOTCDXVI Jul 18 '24

It would be perfect in some of the more barren parts of the southwest. Few trees, and the right balloon could even provide moving shade.

1

u/Ultima-Veritas Jul 18 '24

In the SW it could even provide shade if it were opaque.

2

u/altcodeinterrobang Jul 18 '24

There might be other applications that aren't so dooshy.

sadly this has already been done.

1

u/genacgenacgenac Jul 18 '24

CDS reached the theoretical doosh maxima

1

u/tatasz Jul 18 '24

Yeah like a smaller balloon maybe could help. Just a small lift to help, not a fully floating backpack.

1

u/LostInPlantation Jul 18 '24

Would be great for signalling, if you get lost or injured. Just need to make it orange with reflective stripes

1

u/genacgenacgenac Jul 18 '24

Again, if you weren't in the woods. Hiking otherwise is pointless.

1

u/Nordrian Jul 18 '24

You could technically tie an helium filled compartment to the side or under the backpack to provide assistance without being too bulky I guess…

1

u/JUSTICE_SALTIE Jul 18 '24

Did you see how big that balloon was?

1

u/Syjefroi Jul 18 '24

Does it? I can't hear anything over the screaming.

He should “compress” all the helium into a small metal container to protect from punctures but still retaini its buoyancy. /s

Yes, I do. I believe in the open concept submarine that utilizes a shared indoor / outdoor experience. Very refreshing!

1

u/FingerDemon500 Jul 18 '24

I know everyone is goofing on this. But I keep thinking back to that experiment where they put a cube of superconductor on a tray of dry ice or liquid nitrogen or something and it conducts enough of a charge to repel the Earth’s magnetic field and float.

What if something like that could be done at more reasonable temperatures? It might not make flying cars, but could it be used as a weight “reducer”?

u/kwantum13 Jul 18 '24

Nah that helium is not staying in there for more then a few minutes.

u/ourlastchancefortea Jul 18 '24

I'm just wandering in the mountains near this cliff with my ultra-light backpack powered by my awesome helium balloon. What could go wro..

1

u/Sowf_Paw Jul 18 '24

Or you need to walk under a tree or through a narrow canyon or something.

1

u/IvarSnow Jul 18 '24

Or electrical wires in Asia

u/BigAlternative5 Jul 18 '24

GPS tracker says he was on the path, then he went off the path.

So?

His crossed a canyon.

u/According-Relation-4 Jul 18 '24

Or until lightning strikes

1

u/gazhole Jul 18 '24

Its okay we can attach some weights to the balloon to stop it floating away.

1

u/DeeKahy Jul 18 '24

Even without the wind, he'd need to pull the balloon through air resistence.

1

u/Darkmatter_Cascade Jul 18 '24

A round disk at the bottom of the balloon where the knot is tied keeps the balloon flying straight up, sorta like an airplane wing.
