Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - A Box For Black Paul
I've been kind of simultaneously listening to For Her to Eternity (1987) and Skeleton Tree (2016). They are both pretty somber albums, with pretty heavy subject matter, but they are quite different. I feel like the emotional outbursts and musical composition feel a little less refined but more authentic in the older album, even though I think that Skeleton Tree is coming from a more genuinely sad place (with the death of Nick Cave's son). ST is obviously a better album, more consistent and flows much better, but I enjoy the rawness of FHTE. This song is probably the best of the bunch.

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry.
-
The Comsat Angels - Goat Of The West
-
Aversions Crown - Cynical Entity.
New album dropped today. Fucking amazing. It is such a weird experience catching just the side stories of something being put together and then hearing it finally.
As of this arvo the album is #20 on Australian Itunes charts for me and #1 in Metal. So fucking stoked for the AC boys. Edit - 17 now!

Golden Earring- Twilight Zone

My niece (for lack of easier term) sent me a link to Aurora - Running with the Wolves (https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=06ht9MyJLT4)
It is pretty damn good and worthy enough that I wanted to bring it to attention of people that care about similar taste in music. Its a bit like later Emiliana Torrini when its long opera drama stuff rather than fun knock about tracks, but damn good.
-
Gref: that is p.good. I'll toss it at Kier, too.

Just now getting to their albums.

The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith.

Plumb- In my arms

Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain.
Weird feeling when you throw on something random and remember suddenly that this was where a specific riff that floats around your head comes from.
Also realizing why I liked this so much back in the day and it overlapped with is some of us so much. The LTE tracks I have listened to today are pretty much video game background music.

Rage Against the Machine - Born as Ghosts.
Was listening to them before Berkeley news posts. Staying on all night.

-
TOKiMONSTA - Realla
^^^^^^
boss.
sidenote: MYTH OF THE DREAM, MYTH OF THE DREAM, BORN AS GHOST!!! --- man, the live version on their live album is the best shit and I definitely blasted it a week before I left the US.
-
Kendrick Lamar - DNA
god damn this is good
-
So yesterday was something way trashier to cope with some work stuff, but talking it just got me back into the sweet sweet Drop D
Rage Against the Machine - Sleep Now in the Fire.
The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists
And march around
Don't dare take what you need
I'll jail and bury those committed
And smother the rest in greed
Crawl with me into tomorrow
Or I'll drag you to your grave
I'm deep inside your children
They'll betray you in my name
The political anthem of my teens.
-
TOKiMONSTA: Darkest (Dim)
-
Shoji Meguro (and his assorted band I am too trash to look up) - Beneath the Mask.
Because you know what you do after 90 hours of a game? Keep listening to the over played music.
Youtube comments shits me off. The easy to find video misquotes "I pose masquerade" which even just checking the Megani tensei wiki shows is "At Poe's Masquerade" (because you know a wiki will have someone finding liner notes from official OST) which a cursory Google shows is likely a reference to Egar Allan Poe's. Masque of Red Death. But yeah entire comments section is lelelelelelelelelel shepshifter. Missing a perfectly good Ummmmm Actually moment.
-
Alexa Fesser - Medizin.
Finally got around to buying the album. This is the strongest song on the album, but that isn't shocking.
-
David Bowie - Sue (Or in the Season of Crime)
I've been making a bit of a push to try to actually listen to the stuff I've bought in the last few months instead of just going back to listening to the classics on repeat. Blackstar is probably the best song on this album, but in general I feel like it is a bit more of my style than some of his previous stuff because it has a bit of a heavier bent on average.
Also been getting into The Pretty Reckless's new album. It's quite a bit different than the previous album. Unsure of better or worse or same.
I also bought Lorde's Pure Heroine, but I'm not really all that fond of it. It's pretty dark, but in a very teenager way (yes, I am aware that she was a teen when this came out). I was looking for something a little more like Yellow Flicker Beat and got edgy Taylor Swift. Oh well.

Isn't that everything we love though ciatos???????

Alexa Fesser feat Curse - Wunderfinder (Acoustic).
German pop singer on a piano with a rap verse featured. Is this hipster enough.

Who, RATM? Wouldn't know, never was a fan. Even when I was 14 I thought their politics were insufferable and I didn't enjoy the music.
Fireflight- Go ahead

David Bowie - Girl Loves Me

Emiliana Torrini - Tookah

IAMDDB - Back Again

Mogwai- Friend of the Night.

Alina Baraz - Electric (feat Khalid)
New track since her amazing album with Galimatias (perfect work at night music)
The chillwave style sorta caught up in the last two years in coffee shops even though I remember listening to it way way back, like 2010. I've been searching for the next step after and this is sorta kinda getting there, her Galimatias album Flora still had loung-y beats and stuff like Black Hippy doesn't always finish well.... so hopefully Toro y Moi and IAMDDB collaborate, since his last three albums of alternative rock were okay but not fully streamable without interruption, and IAMDDB's raspy weed voice is sort of my perfect tonic atm, or SZA steers a bit more away from needing popular weed rapper guests and collabs with IAMDDB or The Internet or Kelela or Laura Mvula or even a group as boss as Lord Huron to have REALLY LOUD QUIET MUSIC without too much heavy 80s synth or 40-year old male lounge beats. Constant here? I want IAMDBB and she kinda needs to be on better tracks, and maybe her and Alina.. oh man, where is the post-chillwave post-black hippy collab without 1mil views that I'm looking for??? *twists imaginary beard and keeps looking* /end music hipster rant
mebe with VeilHymn. AHH!! SHE SHOULD COLLAB WITH THEM

I've had a pretty challenging week with respect to my healing process. There are a variety of different happy and sad songs that I use to help me cope. Been listening to a lot of space opera to just kickstart my positive feelings, but now I've been on a bit of a sad song kick.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Easy Money
-
Nine Inch Nails - Hurt
Revisit NIN for coping with loss.
-
Nine Inch Nails- We're in this together now.
E: Jimmy Eat World- Table for Glasses
-
Schmoyoho - Bang the President
I feel like this is a flashback to the good ol' days.
"THIS is your state drink??"
-
R.E.M - Losing My Religion

Thousand Foot Krutch- Courtesy Call
Christian Nu Metal band singing about going hard in the club? Definitely Grefter.mp3.
-
Yuki Kajiura: Salva Nos
Noir OST still one of my Favorite Things.
-
Florence + the Machine - Hiding.
How is this album 2 years old already?
-
Celtic Woman - Tir na nOg
This has been stuck in my head a lot lately.

Japanese Breakfast - Road Head
-
Hasley- Haunting
Not my usual run of musician (She's very synth heavy and kind of popish) but her voice is good and it's been good to listen to. No complaints.
-
AAI2 - Joking Motive
Great song, and gives me nostalgia feels about Ray.
-

Not my usual run of musician (She's very synth heavy and kind of popish) but her voice is good and it's been good to listen to. No complaints.
So this has been burned into my brain the past day or so. Fantastic track, I love her voice.

Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy.
-
Star Control 2- Through the angles of spaces (Miles Vorkosigan's theme, or should be)
-
TOKiMONSTA - Drive
-
The Cranberries - Linger (Acoustic version).
SNOW WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME.
-
Why would I have to tell you about that version? It existed since 1995.
-
Not this version specifically, also a whole damned album of Acoustic Cranberries should also have been high on on your Greftdar.
Edit - there was probably a joke about the lyrics there as well.
-
Andra Day - Strange Fruit (cover): https://lynchinginamerica.eji.org/strangefruit <- came across it on FB.
FWIW, no one stresses enough how this song was an interracial collab between a Jewish person and a Black person.
-

Dear god, that album was released before To The Faithful Departed, Gref, I just assumed you had known. Like, I watched the Unplugged when I was -17-.
-
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Else_(The_Cranberries_album)
This hit in March 2017, if these are 20 year old recordings with a few new tracks in there then some deserves an award for their mixing job remastering everything so consistently.
Edit oh and it isn't that it is acoustic versions that has me excited per se, it is just how much more room they give the vocals in these recordings and how clean and clear the delivery is. It doesn't change the songs much, but shifts everything into a unified and very adult contemporary feel (which might not be for everyone? But that is the mood that I listen to Cranberries in). You keep the instrumentation and songwriting of the originals but stepping back from the Rock part lets me stick around for what I got in Cranberries for which was the vocal performance.
-
Oh, they did a SECOND acoustic album? Yeah, that flew under my radar. I thought you were talking about the ages-old Cranberries Unplugged, which is pretty cleanly the Dolores vocal show.
-
Well yeah I recommend then if you didn't catch it! It is with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, so its lush AF with a whole string section.
-
Beauty and the Beast (new movie) - Gaston
I needed encouragement, thank you LeFou!
Well, there's no one as easy to bolster as you...
-
Oddisee - Like Really
(really like A COLORS SHOW out of Berlin on YT)
-
Leonard Cohen - Steer Your Way
holy shit this album is good
-
Forecast from the Transistor OST.
When you think about it, is it functionally impossible to tell apart a copy of Transistor and El Cid's brain?????
-
I'll let you know whenever I actually play it.
-
Lazy Ciddy strikes again.
Halsey- Eyes Closed
-
Yellow Days - So Terrified of Your Own Mind
Holy shit. George van den Broek is only 18 and this is by far the best male voice I've encountered in years.
-
Nioh OST: White Tiger
Came upon the soundtrack through random Youtube linkage while working on something over the weekend. Definitely getting some "Okay, maybe I should play this" vibes here. Good boss themes are really all you need for that, you know.
-
Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat.
Still on a hypothetical "Tunes to light molotovs to" playlist.
-
YouTube app is being shit on my way home so had to listen to other things than mc tunes.
RAtM - Bombtrack.
Continuing to evolve into my soundtrack to 2017.
-
Halestorm - Daughters of Darkness
-
Lana del Rey - Money Power Glory
-
Excellent choice re Daughters of Darkness Ciato.
Wham!- Last Christmas
-
War of Change- Thousand Foot Krutch

Perturbator: Tainted Empire
New album. It's disappointing. This is an EP, which is probably suggestive after three LPs: this is likely an artist filling time while he figures out what to do next (it's pretty easy in retrospect to see The Uncanny Valley being the end of a period of creative development). There's little adherence to distinctly recognizable song structure in these tracks, I.E. rarely a repeated and identifiable melodic or harmonic motif, which almost always means an artist is losing my attention, because the net result is that it's hard to tell one song from another (other than that one has vocals, and that the lyrics are fucked up even by Perturbator standards).
Oh well. Better luck next time.
-
Tove Lo - Blue Lips. Whole album is damn good and has delayed my will to rip and listen to other albums I bought same day. We know Disco Tits we dug, but it holds up without the muppet sex video. Don't Ask Dont Tell is another stand out. Whole thing is a nice cohesive album.
-
Lorde - Liability.
I was way late on getting this and then later on actually getting to it. That was stupid. Her first album devoured like a month of my listening time. This one is feeling like it might to the same on first listen.
-
Jacob Banks - Chainsmoking
-
Lorde - Supercut.
This album is so fucking good you guys. Snowewwww get iiiiiiin.
-
Does It Offend You Yeah - Wrestler (This is the Dance).
Being reminded of tracks that you played on repeat 4 years ago feels pretty sweet.
Fuck you you’re wrong. Fuck you we’re right.You have long made it to the dance, because believe me, this is the dance!
