Is it more than pretentious Alt music this year? I tried getting through the list several years ago and gave up trying to find something I liked.

I haven't listened to it yet. I typically end up keeping around 125 songs per year, or 10% of the total.

Massive Attack covered this in the setlist on their latest tour. i want to say at least a third of Bauhaus' output have reggae-styled backing tracks thanks to the David J/Kevin Haskins rhythm section (also seen with the number of dub versions they released).

there was a "Christian reggae" band in the early 90s called Christafari.

Didn't even think about the name until I came to post. Not planned, just needed some What Did You Expect.

The last 2 days I walked with a friend so no music.

On today's walk I listened to Dark Tranquillity.

Been on an Alice in Chains kick today.

This is one of my favorite live vocal performances ever. When Layne Staley was on, he was a goddamn force of nature. Listened to it a hundred times, and the anguished howls (from 5:22 on) give me chills every time.

NIN - Every Day is Exactly the Same -- seemed kind of appropriate

Trent is one of those people I say have 'dead eyes' Like dark iris no emotion stare eyes.

Angry Metal Guy reviewed the new album from Malokarpatan this morning, avant-garde black/folk metal from Slovakia (how's that for obscure?). Glad they did, as it never would have shown up on my radar otherwise.

It's Bathory meets Sigh by way of Mercyful Fate. I love, love, love this track.

There's a few AiC's songs that gives me goosebumps everytime. Nutshell from their Unplugged is a powerful performance where you can feel his pain.

AiC's is one of a very few bands I'll never get tired of listening to. Dirt is arguably my favorite album of all time. I listen to it in its entirety usually 1 or more times a week.

Seventeen? Probably best I don't listen to any. Interesting though.

speaking of 'loose application of the term "industrial"', there are two new installments (V and VI) in the _Ghosts_ series, available for free download now:

i wonder if these are released under Creative Commons like I - IV were. probably not

I'm listening to I-IV now for the first time before listening to V-VI. I was amused that one of the cues from I-IV wound up pretty much wholesale in Ross and Reznor's score for The Social Network.

This is excellent background music. Very soothing, and doesn't require any particular attention.

On today's walk I listened to Grave Digger (shuffle play on Spotify).

New Aeternam album dropped this morning. Been waiting for this one for a long time. Their brand of middle eastern tinged metal is amazing.

New Igorrr today too!!

JCC · Post by **JCC** » Fri Mar 27, 2020 7:18 pm

On today's walk/run, I listened to a Spotify shuffle of Heavenly.

These guys happened to be doing a livestream show on FB that was shared in a SP group. Hadn't ever heard of them before, but I'm really digging it.

Angry aggressive industrial always resonates with me. Shocking, I know.
