Obsessive Listening

"The Crucifixion" - Aragon

Most decent progressive rock outfits have an excessively-long track on their albums. This is theirs on "Don't Bring The Rain" and is IMHO the standout track. Clocking in about 15 minutes, it's not actually about Jesus.

So take heed all you governments
Hide grace for one man lied
And stand below your cross
And watch your nations crucified

I'm so tired of waiting...

I'm listening to nothing but bad music in order to get inspiration for a satirical, really ridiculous fanfic.

Insane Clown Posse is on the list. I'm not too fond of them. I'm also listening to some guys a very good friend dug up for me on MySpace.

As I said over AIM, it feels like I'm being ear-fucked.

Note to self: Never touch Keatons ears. She apparently likes to put dirty things in them.

... i think it's more like aural rape than sex... but maybe that's just my take on it

Pssh! Suit yourself if a nuclear apocalypse comes. My hueg ears can be used as an impenetrable nuclear bunker if you hide within them!

Just ask Stygian.

Portal - Outre

This is some hard stuff to describe. The band was apparently going for something Lovecraftian in nature, and it shows. The guitars swirl around, occasionally a riff will surface from the chaos, twisted and dissonant. The percussion pounds along, nearly buried by the guitar sound but still audible enough to give a semblance of rhythm. The vocals are hoarse growls, uttering a few words every so often. The overall atmosphere is pretty damn creepy. It's like listening to a good horror movie, if that makes sense. It makes me think of strange creatures crawling around in the dark and damp, things lurking in shadows. I can't listen to this in the dark; my mind overreacts to everything if I try.

...I feel like such a twit for having written all that and being completely serious about it. Ugh.

People Who Can Eat People Are The Luckiest People In The World - Andrew Jackson Jihad
Only God Can Judge Me - Andrew Jackson Jihad
Folk punk. Some pretty interesting stuff, lots of humor. "A Song Dedicated To The Memory Of Stormy the Rabbit" is the one time when badly tuned and rather badly played horns dont make me cringe. "Human Kittens" on Only God Can Judge Me is an incredibly sad song, which was a surprise after listening to People... since most of that album is angry, funny, or at most angsty. Now that I think about it, most of Only God Can Judge Me is pretty sad. But in a good way. If thats possible.

"but theres a bad man in everyone, no matter who we are, theres a rapist and a nazi living in our tiny hearts, child pornographers and cannibals, and politicians too, theres someone in your head waiting to FUCKING STRANGLE YOU"

Stricken by Disturbed and Before I forget by Slipknot.
Guitar Hero made the right choice putting them in.
OH! And one more: The Portal theme Techno remix.

Newest obsessions:
Pig Destroyer - Most of their discography
I managed to acquire all of Pig Destroyer's major albums recently. I dont think i could ever find EVERYTHING theyve done. With grind bands like them, they likely have thirty or so splits and eps. Anyway, DAAAMN this is some good stuff. The intro and outro on Prowler in the Yard are rather disturbing, though. Hell, most of the subject matter on each album is pretty disturbing, Prowler in the Yard just stands out as a pillar of disturbingness. Still amazing nonetheless.

Jungle Rot - What Horrors Await
ZOMG Jungle Rot actually put out an album that doesnt bore me to death! And is actually quite good in the process!

Dr Awkward - The Next Gen ep
On a non metal note, some damn fine nerdcore hiphop. Raps about playing SOCOM and Halo while drunk, detecting imposter nerds, and other various nerd related things. Good stuff. As an added bonus, it's free!

EDIT - On a related note, I just finished listening to 1349s new album. I am incredibly disappointed. Oh well.

Nemo, Nightwish.

Ween - "Buckingham Green"

This song's been described as a side-long prog rock epic condensed to 3 minutes, and it ain't a lie.

Probably the best song they ever did, still need to check out more of their catalog.

Just recently found The Device has been Modified by Victims of Science.
"Weighted storage cube...Destroyed."

Awesome song.

I recently (i.e. today) discovered that The Ink Spots did a version of We'll Meet Again (kinda spoilers), and that Vera Lynn did versions of Maybe, A Kiss to Build A Dream On, and I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire. And finally, it appears that much of Vera Lynn's music is in the public domain.

So I've been listening to a lot of Ink Spots and Vera Lynn.

(P.S. Vera Lynn is alive and hates the BNP.)

Disturbed's "The Night" off of their newest album Inside the Fire.

Teh_Hobo · May 15, 2009, 11:41:22 PM

KABUTO THE PYTHON - Parseltongue
This album. This album. Holy crap. Best nerdcore album EVER. Best free nerdcore album, anyway. Kabuto is probably my favorite rapper, and this is some of his best stuff, and its got some excellent collaborations. This album had me dancing around like a wankster all day today. And I felt absolutely no shame. None.

The Berzerker - All The Things She Said (TATU Cover)
I have to thank GabrielsThoughts for this one. If I hadnt visited that mixpod site, I would have never found out about this absolutely hilarious cover. "ALLLL THE THIINGS SHE SAAAAAID"(in death metal grunts) Absolutely classic.
