other favorite songs
since someone started posting videos/links to videos, I thought I'd start a new thread about other favorite songs to stop derailing a different thread. good of me, no? so post yours! I'll start with a few of my own:
one of my first loves.
megadeth - peace sells
okay, I'm done. I'm obvi looking to be entertained. get to work, people.

oh and ... coil gave the profits they made off the sale of the tainted love single to hiv research. and john balance is dead (alcoholic) so no more beautiful music out of him, though the last album is fucking genius (ape of naples). however, my truly truly favorite coil song (which I envision being played at my 40th bday party in this zillion year old underground wine bar in london filled with my friends - nice fantasy, no?) is batwings, a limnal hymn.@import url(http://skreemr.com/styles/embed.css);

This one is a bit of a cross between Massive Attack and Portishead. Mellow chilllin' / work session music.
Sissy - "So Long"

Sorry for the unavoidable autoplay bumper on the above video, btw. Grr.
While on the subject of Grr, I luvs me the low-down, whoop-ass, deep growly bass of this one:
Cruel Black Dove: "Love Song"
(Brooklyn band, woo~! :bounce: ) -
ooooogh that coil cover tore me to Shreds when i first heard it. i love the soft cell version plenty but that cover is just....i spent the next c0ouple of years writing those words all over everything..my clothes, my walls, my car, my self.
good times. -

Ah yes, Down By The Water, etc.
just sayin'

So true!
Heh, I completely missed that. D'oh.
Regarding the Nick Cave period, imagine if they had kids. (Hah, wow...)
Would likely have resulted in something like Violet from The Incredibles.

I don't quite recall how violet acts but she's the gothy angry one, right? I'm more concerned about how the kid would get their stringy, greasy PJ hair into a big, incredible, almost-Elvis updo like daddy ... *shudder*
the kylie/nick babies would be cuter. but what would be really funny? robert smith/nick cave babies. they'd like ... die of hair spray fumes at the age of 3 or something. or maybe just die of angst. -

beautiful music. -
You should get on the OTB train while it's still uncrowded. Next stop is Coolville.
That's the famed Roma bootleg. Great quality. Highly advise d/ling it. -
yick. I dated a freestyle jazz bassist for awhile. I had to keep reminding him that I hate whiny men, wailing sax and any song that isn't by new order or a good BAND that lasts longer than 3 minutes. well. I guess I can tolerate old metallica. but the above, OTB? yicky. sorry dude. I'd rather hear 3 chords and screaming.

why was I in law school? I should have been in berlin. this is for you, OTB:
-
oh. and the end of that song is the gem. last 10 seconds worth the entire angry journey.
-
not. teh. awesome. atr kicks satan's ass.

clearly i'm Quite behind but i couldn't let it go... i know that madonna covers record and i like several songs on it--most of them weren't really my thing. all of those covers records that came out in the late 90s/early 00s have some fun stuff. but what i loooooove (with a capital O) are the Newer Wave compilations which kick ass from the beginning to the end. i highly recommend them if you haven't heard them already.
funny...it has been a while since i knew anyone who was into this stuff. -
Saw these guys last night for the first time in years at their NYC reunion show. I really think it was one of the best performances I've ever seen by them.

this is pretty awesome! I bet the show was awesome. -
I'm now officially that insanel person that just googles shit for no good reason. some of my pals in london are buddies with surgeon - we had a long drunken night of "house music education" for AFN. there was champagne and curry involved. I, of course, can't find the surgeon mix we were listening to but .. I did insist that he had taken a lot of his influence from meat beat manifesto and it turns out they're one of his fave bands. not sure you can hear it here, but I love them both so here's surgeon:

I spent too many nights at manray dancing my ass off to that. and whoa! I just found my miranda sex garden CDs! who knew I still had this shit??
and whoa! I want to see EN live!!!
...
the bigod-20 like a prayer is very good, no doubt, and ogre's borderline is fabulous. Most of the songs on those records are kinda lame, though...all of those cleo covers records generally had a reliable razed in black or ex voto track and the rest are a pile of blah by the same lineup of lame-os over and over again.
the neubauten video is fantastic--there is no end to the list of bands i wish i had seen live. thank goodness for youtube. i feel like i should contribute some actual substance to this discussion rather than simply reactions. i don't have favorite videos so perhaps i will leave here a Small sample from the aforementioned list of bands i wish i had seen live (though not necessarily these particular performances). you've covered neubauten, throbbing gristle (and, by extension, psychic tv), skinny puppy, and cranes so, in no particular order and with an eye toward variety, a sample:
when we both of us knew how the ending would be:
-
good god! what glorious selections! and while I posted bigod20, I've already admitted to my teenaged crush on ogre - I think it stemmed from the vivisect album. finding the good shit on youtube for fun watching is a pain the ass despite the throbbing gristle remix album of a few years ago.
this is my fave wumpscut:
so yeah. coil is my favorite band. ever. brilliant. always was and, well, sadly no longer will be. I cry a little cry inside for john balance and his vodka induced header. I kinda think it's sad that his ex (and his ex's new boy) were living there with him, too. but. really. very goth. -

They were beyond great. Seeing HWM again set this huge spark inside for the Revival Tour that Chuck from HWM is doing in the fall with Ben from Lucero, Tom from Against Me! and Tim from Avail. That is gonna be awesome beyond belief.
this is pretty awesome! I bet the show was awesome. -
Howdy, Stranger!
