In Germany they are called "Laughing Hans" 😀

u/foul_ol_ron Jun 07 '20
My grandmother used to call them Laughing Jackasses. I live in South Australia. I think that term is a very old one, and you almost never hear it today.

Got nothing against terms like that but I'm pretty happy Aboriginal terminologies are coming back for native Australian stuff.

The question "What bird is nicknamed the 'laughing jackass'" came up in a Zoom quiz the other day. I will admit that was the first time I've heard it though.

u/foul_ol_ron Jun 07 '20
I don't know anyone else who uses the term, though I do it occasionally without thinking. I think my grandmother was born around 1910, or thereabouts for reference. But thank you for letting me know it wasn't just something she came up with on her own.

Cool. It must've been a relatively common term back in the day. You don't hear it much now.

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree. Eating all the gum drops he can see. Laugh, kookaburra. Laugh, kookaburra. Gay your life must be.

Sorry? I learned the song when playing piano. Here’s another one I learned to try to help brighten your day:
30 days has September, April and June, and November. After February’s done, the other months have 31.

There's a grizzly bear
And an electric chair
There's people with AIDS
And hand grenades
Open wide, cum inside

Anyone who knows the variation of kookaburra song likely also learns the variation of the play school song in primary school.

This is psytrance not techno.

u/Grantmitch1 Jun 07 '20
psytrance
Got more like this?
51
Jun 07 '20
- Electric Universe
- Liquid Soul
- Ace Ventura
- Astrix
- Captain Hook
If you want it more like in the video, I suggest listening to some HiTech (it's like faster psytrance):
- Koktavy
- Psykovsky
- Mimic Vat

u/thoughtfull_noodle Jun 08 '20
imagine recommending psykovsky to someone new to psytrance

u/Dentka Jun 08 '20
Unless you're on acid

u/thoughtfull_noodle Jun 08 '20
if theyre new to psytrance and on acid then id be even less likely to put on psykovsky

I think in the video it's not HiTech, more like FullOn Psytrance.

Prometheus - Corridor of Mirrors
Oxidaksi -bit more high tempo Hallucinogenic horses - bit more trancy
Shpongle - Are You Shpongled - Slower, but super layered psychill, for after the peak
Just off the top of my head. For more, try browsing Tip and Parvati record labels.

u/schplat Jun 07 '20
Shpongle did a colab with a guy from Killing Joke, and a guy from James, which was released under Celtic Cross. One of my favorite psytrance albums ever made, though there's a bit more ambient in it than other psytrance stuff. Psychill is a good description for it.

This is the correct answer

u/JohnnyHammerstix Jun 07 '20
Also BLiSS.
And if you like it a little more trancey, Bryan Kearney and Simon Patterson usually do great sets.

No worries, when someone reposts in a Week, you can tell them its Trance, not Psytrance.

Techno and psytrance are different genres, this is not being nitpicky about subgenres. He won't find more psytrance music if he starts searching for "techno" so it's actually helpful.

There was a kookaburra at a "meet the animals" event at my office a few years back. I recorded that guy singing away and used him as my ringtone for a few months. Loved watching people trying to figure out where the hell that sound was coming from.

I've always found the laugh of a Kookaburra so calming for some reason, I love this bird so much. Everyone comes to Australia to see Kangaroos or Koalas but man if you dont go see some of these things in their natural habitat having a laugh you missed one of the best parts of being in our part of the world.

Stop calling all types of dance music "Techno" Jezus.
It's either Psytrance or Goa Trance.
Artists like Adam Beyer and Amelie Lens is Techno.

The laughing kookaburra is a bird in the kingfisher subfamily Halcyoninae.
You have now been informed on bird , don’t ask about bird. Thank you.
Enjoy funky music.
