Little Joy - How to hang a Warhol

[Scots Taffer]

Raveonettes - Blush (as part of my "exposure to new bands ahead of the Best Of 08 list")

[Jusal]

Swans - Beautiful Child

[Turtle]

Swans - Beautiful Child

We're sorry, this video is no longer available.

[Kolya]

Yes it is. Although "video" is saying a bit much, or "music" for that matter.

[Jusal]

For a moment I pondered if I should add a "whatthefuckisthisshit" warning there.

[Kolya]

So all in all, consider yourself lucky Turtle, because even your rocky connection rocked more than Swans (the band, not the beautiful but startlingly aggressive birds).

[Harvester]

I expected a different style of music from a band that calls themselves 'Swans'. What do you call this kind of music anyway?

[demagogue]

Starts off as acoustic-ambient, not sure why they added the death metal crowl.

Speaking of funny wtf music, though, We all adore a Kia Ora!

[van HellSing]

Fields of the Nephilim - At the Gates of Silent Memory

[rachel]

Straight, No Chaser - Miles Davis

[Turtle]

My connection's fine.
It's just that the video wasn't there earlier, but the Youtube placeholder was.

[demagogue]

I had like 4 or 5 "The video is unavailable" messages today for videos I'm pretty sure are available, so it's not just you. Maybe some kind of maintenance?

Fields of the Nephilim - At the Gates of Silent Memory

FotN rocks!

I'm listening to:
Halo - Collide
They're a sort of industrial/darkwave band with a really awesome female singer and this particular track has citars They're my recent obsession.
A link:Halo by Collide

[Nuth]

Enya: On Your Shore

[Jusal]

According to their wikipedia page:

Genre(s):

Post-punk
Experimental
Art rock
Noise rock
Post-industrial
No Wave

Though the song I linked might've been somewhat misleading. Half of their other stuff isn't as directly aggressive. If you still wanted to ask something take it to PMs before the thread gets completely hijacked.

Swans are INCREDIBLE. They remind me a more depressing Dead Can Dance, though that's not even a good comparison. I recommend Children of God/World of Skin.

I also love Collide. Man, this thread has some great music! I'm listening to that Collide song now...

As far as the last song I was listening to, I've been listening to Liquid Tension Experiment. They have three members of Dream Theater, Tony Levin of King Crimson on bass, and NO SINGER (thank God...I hate Dream Theater's vocalist). I listening to their second self-titled album just barely.

[Fingernail]

I've been listening to a lot of Ink Spots, it's really great seeing videos of them on youtube. The best recordings, in my opinion, are with Bill Kenny as the lead - he has such a ridiculously pure voice, with perfect enunciation. Also the absurd talking bass verse is always entertaining. Every song (pretty much) follows the same formula - including the same intro/bridge chord sequence.

My favourite are probably these two:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBCdzHR93jA (We Three (My Echo, My Shadow and Me))

[ArcturusXIV]

Whoa! I just caught that somebody mentioned Fields of the Nephilim...Elizium is one of my favorite albums of all time!

[Tonamel]

Straight, No Chaser - Miles Davis

I'm listening to his Saeta, and it's blowing my mind. Must pick up Sketches of Spain sometime soon.

[marshall banana]

Roar! Cloverfield Overture.

Glad you like them
I shall have to check out this Liquid Tension Experiment, I really love Dream Theatre. Looks like we're getting some people on this thread with a decent taste in music.

As for what I'm listening to:
One Second by Paradise Lost(yet another band I obsess over)
Links:
One Second - Paradise Lost
Harbour - Paradise Lost
So Much Is Lost - Paradise Lost

[Sulphur]

Yeah, LTE is the real shiznit. For a bunch of instrumental jams, there's some surprisingly accessible stuff there too - Biaxident, for instance, has some particularly beautiful piano and guitar bits.

[Risquit]

I saw the Swans in concert once and they were good but really trippy. The girl's eyes kept rolling way back in her head until you could only see whites.
