the most important thread. the only one demanded by The Overlords.
the rules are simple:
1) link to a song you like. keep it to one song link per post, but feel free to recommend more.
2) wait until there's at least one response to the previous song before you post your own! new recommendations before the previous song has been responded to will be... eliminated.
3) have fun! expand your horizons! listen to some artists and genres you wouldn't, usually!
I'll start: been getting really into this Chinese band recently, off a dear friend's recommendation. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=xXk3g9HgRW8

i like living in the shadow world. sue me.
anyway, yeah, i think this is one of my favorite like. "moments" in a song. the second the trumpets hit...? hoo boy.
RE: RE: kevin
that stretch starting around 3:20 is so supreme, the entire 2nd half of the song is transcendent.
how did they do this

for those into experimental music, major organ and the adding machine is a favorite of mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q78XdCwFSgs
this is damn good so far. actual response pending.
Good songs! I added them to my playlist
not the vocaloid
@jimmycarter the name "major organ and the adding machine" would honestly be enough to sell me, but. oh my god this is fantastic. i LOVE music that sounds like this. this is perfect, thank you so much for posting this.
going to link new albion 1 by paul shapera: im a real big fan of all his work, honestly, but. well. this is the start of his first album people will tell ya to listen to, so! may as well

re: new albion 1 by paul shapera
honestly pretty cool! i don't think i've heard of this before but it seems to be from a musical and it def got that vibe. super big fan of the instrumental in this track as i think it does a super good job of immersing you in the steampunk vibes. would definitely be sick to encounter this in a metroidvania in some tucked off corner of the map. the vocalist is also suuper nice on this track she blends well with the instrumental.
(also, does this count as the 1 response before sending a song or would i have to do a separate post for my recommendation? i know some the other music threads flowed like that and i liked that)
the yung filipino prophet
i'm too spoiled for choice with music but i have added all of these recs to my daily album project (:<
since i'm wearing my el oso tshirt today here is a song from my all time flavourite album for all to enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef3ghTSXOxo
SMILE LAUGH PLAY !!
I love Nashimoto Ui's Vocaloid songs, he's a legend.
This is my favorite song by him and possibly one of my favorite songs of all time.

I don't really listen to Vocaloid except the classics, I might've been missing on some great songs lol i loved that one
I've been getting into music from my country. I recommend this one

I'm a big midwest emo/indie rock junkie. My favorite bands consist of Modern Baseball, Slaughter Beach Dog, Mom Jeans., Lincoln, etc. I like a ton of different genres but those are the ones I listen to the most consistently.
Here's my favorite song from MOBO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weOVw68oNzw
During these last weeks i have been OBSESSED with the sass/sasscore genre (or scene depends who you ask), something about the search for leaning the hardest outside the conventional hardcore groups including in a sexually liberating way is amazing; its kind off the father of scemo but it has readed Nietzche and knows what Tape music is
https://youtu.be/RyUu9EJowoM?si=5BsA2_CX5agRbYxs
These first two drafts rejected with a single written critique:
“It is rapturous still, the way you fill a page. I find it to be lacking.”
oo! i quite like that one. never heard of sass/sasscore genre before, but the vocals in this track you linked are quite nice sounding. has a gooddddd, crisp? a grain-y feel to it i quite like, it's real groovy. good pick!
i wish i could share one specific track that i like, or have recently been quite into. but i've been on quite a bit of a music drive (? if that's what you'd call it) and not even done with it yet. so...
though i recently got Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party on vinyl, so i'll link this track off it https://youtu.be/0WRggioZ8ZQ since it's one of my favourites off that album.
Give me freedom, give me fire. Give me BBCode or I retire!
RE: curiousCacti--ooh i'm also a huge emohead, mom jeans is one of the few bands i've seen live and i wrote a davekat & dirkjake longfic set to vape nation. my american heart is my personal favorite obscure emo band, its been with me since middle school.
RE:ampdotnet--I loved Same man I was before! Really jaunty and strange sort of tune with wonderful lyrics. guy who's always thinking about Dirk says: this really makes me think of epilogues dirk. I really love how evocative the imagery of the lyricism is, the fire and thunder of it.
I wasn't sure what song to go with, I'm too intense about a lot of music, but ultimately I decided to go for something that I think speaks for itself. Darren Hayes is a gay musician very close to my heart, and this is a song I go to often when the world is a lot and I need to feel a spirit of hope and solidarity about queerness:

'"I thought this was a love story," you say.
Your Lola's insistence has remained with you since the beginning, and you say these words in a quiet manner, with a shrug, as if to let these performers know it is fine, it does not matter that much, this thought—that maybe the definition of what a love story is could be stretched to include all that has up till now taken place. You say it like an apology. Like it is a thing to be apologized for.
A runaway child, charging through the porcelain shelves:
I thought this was a love story. I had hoped this was a love story.
You say it with shame, embarrassed at having said it, wishing you could take it back.
You say it, worried that you have betrayed some secret part of yourself that does not wish to be exposed—
an old gremlin in you, sick and yearning. You say it with hope.
Timid, and without conviction.
The hope of someone who knows they are about to wake from a dream to a reality they do not understand. The pub awaits, as does your empty bed.
I thought this was a love story.
You regret having said it; as if you know it will lessen the quality of the tale. Rob it of its smoke and shadow. But still, you say it.
And this moonlit body smiles. And from the wings the patting of the drums slowly builds, and the curtains behind the dancers rise. Because you are right, this moonlit body tells you;
This is indeed a love story. Down to the blade-dented bone.'
-You, in the Inverted Theater - The Spear Cuts Through Water
"I don't care if the best I can hope for is half of what I want. I'm not here for a realistic outcome. I'm just going to fight! Forever! With perfect greed! Until I get everything!"
-Saturn, Heaven will be Mine
Re: Taz solid dance cut. This strikes me as the platonic ideal of rave music, speaking as a guy who has never been to a rave. It's a very different vibe (like a graveyard march with an sultry ghost serenades?) but you might like this gay love song by serpentwithfeet called "Cherubim" (not linking so I can adhere to the one-link rule)
Also a big fan of the new Clipse album "Let God Sort Em Out" -- favorite track is probably FICO, with Chains & Whips as a close second. In FICO each of the brothers carry this sick double-rhyme scheme across the entirety of their verses while painting this enthralling picture of their past life in the trenches. And then a man with a voice like a rusty nail creaks out this pirate shanty ass chorus warning listeners to stay tf back. Good good stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLpOjdp0KO4
