MUSIC ADDICTIONS

[Kestrel]

Favourite song of the last two years:

Noga Erez — Fire Kites
(Lyrics/meaning here.)

And more from her. I think she’s an incredible performer, so I’m deliberately only linking live sessions:

Noga Erez — You So Done
Noga Erez — Knockout
Noga Erez — End of the Road

---

A few other artists who are also amazing live singers, because why not:

Gin Wigmore — Written in the Water
Escondido — Heart Is Black
Lil Nas X — Jolene (Dolly Parton Cover)

[BurnNotice]

@Kestrel Gin Wigmore performing Kill of the Night is just , she is great.

[Aria]

@Testament Imma just leave this right here for you. If the Meatloaf cameo isn’t enough for your tastes, just speed right to 2:09 and carry on from there.

[Kestrel]

This addictive throwback:

Toxic Pony — Ginuwine x Britney Spears x Altégo

South park live. I didn’t think it would be a bop but it is. The concert is on paramount plus and of course, Primus and ween are the backing bands.

(Edit: Due to leaving out info)

@BloodAngel Watching Les’ plan to set Matt up to play with the remaining members of Rush (as well as all of Primus ofc) come to such awesome fruition warmed my dark, dead little heart.

@eye8urcake

Ska band, I stumbled on for the UK. Amazing stuff two albums!

[SpaceKhomeini]

@BloodAngel I grew up in Rochester and lived there for like 21 years.

I salute anyone living there in my absence.

[SpaceKhomeini]

I have no idea who this collection would be for and intrinsically fear anyone who’d like all of these things.

Also, I guess I’ve been listening to a lot of “moody synthpop” and “art school metal.” In other words, there’s not enough wax in the world for this fucking moustache.

Prince Rama - Two sisters who grew up in a Hare Krishna cult in Florida and decided to start a Kate Bush-inspired Electro band. Sadly broke up nowadays but there’s no way you can sustain that level of mad fuckery forever.

Ulver - I push these guys way too hard and they’re only semi-definable in terms of “moody synthpop.” But ask yourself what kind of nerd would do a double-album adaptation of William Blake’s Marriage of Heaven and Hell? These fucking nerds.

Mint Field - 90s-style fuzz/shoegaze that just sounds better in Spanish to me. I saw them play up here when their drummer got stuck in Mexico. They managed to improvise without a drummer at all and made it look easy.

Mothlite/Miracle/Anything involving Daniel O’Sullivan — Again, not even sure this is “moody synthpop” because he gets real weird with it.

The new Dreadnought album — A kinda-unique and unexpected mutant blend of death metal, prog, and jazz. I saw them as a festival opener and I don’t think I’ve seen anyone with that much live energy in 20 years.

Bog Wizard and Froglord — Yeah so, apparently there is a Bog Wizard and an amphibious deity known as the Froglord. They apparently are beefing over swamp territory. When they told me heavy metal would rot my brain when I was a kid, they had no idea.

[BloodAngel]

@SpaceKhomeini I love Dreadnought!

I also love Bog Wizard, totally up my alley! Thank you for the heads up!

[hellfrog]

@SpaceKhomeini
huh what

I hear frog deity and I wake up

[SpaceKhomeini]

Whether we wanted it or not, here is a covid lockdown-era metal cover of Running Up That Hill , really only posting this because Emma’s a force of fucking nature even though she’s kinda just chilling out here.

[Sillylily]

Currently my musical obsessions, according to tidal, are Orville Peck, remixes/collaborations/covers with/of Elton John, Gorillaz, VNV Nation and the City of Prauge Philharmonic

[junipersky]

The Hadestown Soundtrack. I’m dragging husband with me tomorrow and I’m very excited .

[Selira]

@junipersky The soundtrack was A+.

The live show elevates it to a level I didn’t even know was possible. You’re going to have a blast.

[TNP]

Literally my favorite musical ever. I got the CD set after I saw the show but played the songs on Youtube before I saw it (which is what decided me to see it). I have no doubt you’re going to love it.

[somasatori]

The new Pianos Become The Teeth album is really good. Reminds me of my late twenties/early thirties ten years ago when everyone I knew was listening to like Hotelier and such, but if that genre had also matured. If you’re a PbtT fan, in my opinion it’s the album that should have followed Keep You. The new ep by the Front Bottoms kind of makes me feel this way too. Like, wow, it’s great to have made it out of 2014, haha.

Lately when I’m writing clinical notes or cleaning, I seem to grove along better when listening to stuff by Sonic Area or Bohren & Der Club of Gore. If you haven’t listened to either, they’re very spare, a little sad, a little lo-fi, and sometimes a bit eerie. From Sonic Area, I recommend Ki, which sounds like a companion album to a Japanese ghost story. From B&DCoG, I suggest Black Earth, which is just extremely atmospheric smoky jazz.

Appreciate the other recommendations in this thread!

[SpaceKhomeini]

@somasatori

Can’t recommend Der Club of Gore hard enough.

[SpaceKhomeini]

@SpaceKhomeini

I know replying to yourself is some kind of tacky faux-pas but I figured I’d post a clip of Emma actually wrecking shit.

And maybe another one?
