It gets a 2 instead of 1 just because it has the word bong in the title.
 
Chuckle, chuckle.  Only a 2?  Perhaps you're not using that bong thingy in the right manner.

We saw this band a couple weeks ago as an opener for the amazing Grace Jones at the Hollywood Bowl.  Dengue Fever were pretty good, although the large venue seemed to overwhelm their sound a bit.  If they were to play at a smaller venue, I'd definitely check them out.  Although I've heard them fairly often here on RP, my wife had not, but was still intrigued with their sound enough to give them an overall thumbs-up.

I'm beginning to dig this group...Cambodian Rock w/Psychedelic influences performed by a largely Jewish band and an attractive Cambodian female lead singer...what's not to like, eh? {#Roflol}

sounds like Yoko Ono's been busy... and not in a good way-  Please never play this again....please....

Out of curiosity I went through all the Dengue Fever songs on RP and found a total of one which wasn't pretty widely despised... interesting

I like it, but this sounds like an mp3 compressed past the standards of RP: the cymbals get all mushy and hissy during the chorus.

Yep!  Well said.  This is exactly why I come to RP.  Long live diversity in all forms!

Interesting.  I'm gonna have to say No.  I'll give it another listen.

Yup. Apparently I wasn't in the right mood when I first heard this. 2->8
Posted 15 years ago by randomprime    [ Reply ]
6->7, because of that little sax diddy at the very end.

Yep, I'll 3rd that. I just love these kinds of surprises, which you'd never get on a standard FM station. This is fun, as are the other DF tracks that've been on here :o)

Gee, I think I met her at a bar called "We 4 U" in Bangkok. Two blocks off the skytrain in Sukhomvit.  "NaNa" stop hmm.  crazy.

I don't have a clue what she is saying, and I don't give a damn,either. It just ROCKS.
Posted 15 years ago by PanamintMark    [ Reply ]
Not sure why, have no idea what she is singing, but this music makes me happy...... and I want to have a martini.

The text on the CD is kind of hard to read, so I'm not surprised the uploader misread it, but it's Sni Bong, not Sui Bong.

Could the uploader (or Bill) correct this please?

I 2nd that, and it's one of my main reasons for listening!

Plus... it's a really nice segue to Talking Heads "Listening Wind"
Nice Bill...

Came here... loving this song.

Expecting a 5.6 or so for this one... and I was high with it at 5.2.

Har. You funny. I saw them live a few months ago. What a fun night. Nobody brought a bong, though.

The dengue rash is characteristically bright red petechiae and usually appears first on the lower limbs and the chest; in some patients, it spreads to cover most of the body. There may also be gastritis with some combination of associated abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

I think Bill really likes Dengue Fever, for some reason. :P Me, I can take 'em or leave 'em.

This has gotta be the most screwed up block of music I've ever heard... only on RP
Posted 15 years ago by jlind    [ Reply ]
For the record, the title of this tune is "Sni Bong" not "Sui Bong."

No, it was a question....I don't KNOW that, but it seems plausible. Dorian scale or something....

I hear it, as does "Plight" (see post below). Perhaps it's the musical scale both Cambodian and Indian music is based upon?

That's just about what I meant to say. Don't know about adding to the rating, yet, but it's the second song I hear from these people, with just about the same feeling...

a Dengue Fever song a day keeps the.... there was another track played yesterday that was a little better, but it certainly made me jump onto iTunes to see if it was available

i like the combination of the chantlike indian-styled vocals with a rockish treatment. -PL-
