 Gurok, also feeling it! Can't believe you found the full version! ( )

Their sound is unmistakable. Yeah that new track is pretty cool. Glad to see Keenan is off his wine tangent. (kidding)

I revisited Aenema a few months back. That's a really terrific album. I've always felt a connection with the title track, its range of emotions, and lyrics, which at one point are laugh out loud funny. If I remember correctly, the song is a full hate-fest on Los Angeles and references an urban legend where the tides rise and swallow all of South California, creating 'Arizona Bay':

"One great big festering neon distraction,
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
(whispering-->) Learn to swim, learn to swim, learn to swim"

Possibly a second generation Zork?

Ah nice we're in to the emotional teen rock stage of this thread. Here's one from my days as a dazed and confused youngin':

Perfecto. Mucho gracias!

Anyway, here's a great song: Highwayman

Wasn't sure I'd like it at first, but it is a nice track.

This is what I was listening to before I clicked that link:

Nice! Have to admit I've never actually listened to this guy before, although I've had him recommended to me before.

Happened to hear this today, and was reminded of what a beautiful song it is.

St. Vincent's cover of Nico's "These Days":

Lol Royal Tenenbaums has ruined this song for me forever.  I can't listen to any version without picturing the silencing of a bus and Balmer and Margot's faces. Oh crap I think I'm going to cry now

It was used in the soundtrack of one of Argento's better films.

World's most chilled out drummer! 

St. Vincent's cover of Nico's "These Days"

Buffalo Springfield

It was used in the soundtrack of one of Argento's better films.

Thanks for posting!  All good tunes.  Enjoyed very much.  Hadn't heard St. Vincent's cover, but it's great.  Also hadn't heard Goblin, good stuff!

This was my last listen, stuck in my head lately.  Quite different from what's above, but I love it:

Wish this were a bit longer. Need some background music to study to like this. 

Could be Clarence and Ellen

or

Patrick and Jenny

or

Jerry and Jessica

or

Rumplestiltskin and Peggy

Have I got it? 

totally not a bunch of sheep and then going around all dressed the same (as in, literally in uniform)

...everybody was a sheep except THEM and how THEY were the chosen ones and everybody else was barely sentient zombies except THEM. I think all that crap they were being sold about being part of a very special "elite" is what brought a huge majority of them in...

Lol this could totally be used to describe a hipster

Rhapsody in Blue (from that opening scene in Manhattan with Woody Allen's narration - haha not entirely focused on the music, but I like the general combination of art in this opener!)

^The interesting thing about this 'music' is it really does stir (at least in me) emotions and and feelings of horror, disorientation and helplessness, which I'm guessing is what the band was going after. Perhaps these are emotions incels and other types experience in day-to-day life when they engage contemporary society? (Not to get into it, but it is kind of an interesting discussion point.)

That's crazy about your sub-scene experiences! I thought that sort of death-metal-extreme-right hybrid culture was more Hollywood constructed than anything.

^That's a love ballad compared to the earlier track you posted. For sure it's music but definitely pushing towards the border of "wait a sec is this actually noise?" Makes the listener explore some new emotions/headspace.

Alice Glass' stuff is not quite to that extreme but perhaps leaning in the direction:

OK I'm listening to Blut Aus Nord now:

@notarobotyet do you like Emperor?

Not really, no. Those keyboards and the generally "epic" feel of their music never quite clicked with me... In general I prefer my black metal either rougher around the edges, like Darkthrone or Mayhem, or way more experimental and twisted like Dodecahedron or early Blut Aus Nord. Emperor are, like, too mainstream, man

I get this feeling you could talk emphatically and at length about the nuances of black metal, which I have to say wins my award for most original skill of 2019. 

Cool one, dact. Loosely reminds me a bit of this new age music my parents used to listen to when I was a kid (I know some may find this horribly overproduced, but I can't help feeling nostalgic for it! ):

Haha actually if you read up the thread a little bit I'm writing in response to notarobot's post. It's their fault! 

@notarobotyet do you like Emperor?

Lol I only ask because I wouldn't be able to focus on anything (i.e. reading) if that were in my headphones, and if I walked around while listening to it I'd probably be in some headspace where death-staring everyone that goes by would seem appropriate. 

Funny, I find it to be great background music, to the point that sometimes I'll even put on something like this when I want to take a nap I guess it's such a pummeling wall of noise that at some point my brain just registers it as a drone!

Lol that's hilarious but yeah makes sense. Yeah can be hard to pick out the different parts of the music at times. Almost like white noise I guess.

Riding the Pulp tangent to a random sexual crescendo

Velvet Underground

Nice.

I've always loved this track:

Dmitri Shostakovich -  Waltz No. 2

Also great, one of my favourite waltzes. It's from Eyes Wide Shut, of course. Every time I hear it I want to re-watch the film just a little bit more.

You are hereby cordially invited to turn up the volume.

Jack just embedding the video from your comment. Yeah I love this track too! Jarvis Cocker's lyrics are also always very clever:
