A spot of Country Western + Country Gothic courtesy of my fellow coworkers on the production floor. I am not sure how to describe his music. My vocabulary is woefully lacking (any music buffs got any suggestions?). All I can say is that his music that I have heard sounds like what the picture below looks like (if that makes any sense).
Nick Cave and his band Bad Seeds is something that I have recently (re)discovered thanks to my new co-worker, "Shoe", on the production floor. Been around longer than I (and I will wager most people reading this) have been alive. Really intense and emotional post-punk and gothic rock. Features American Southern Gothic imagery and themes quite heavily.
A bit dark, but quite enjoyable nonetheless.
Some soul mixed with a dab of hip-hop this time around. Musically it consists of some very light hip-hop style beats and samples that primarily serve to highlight his incredible (IMHO) voice.
So much emotion! Just listen to Human and Skin below!
Sadly, the rest of the album does not quite have the same emotional weight as Skin and Human, but for a first studio album, it is quite excellent. Here is hoping for more!
Lincoln Durham has an absolutely delicious fusion of blues and southern gothic with healthy helping of punk rhythms and alt-rock beats mixed in. Imagine if you will Brothter Dege mixed in with a grittier version of White Stripes.
He is also an impressive artist to see live (as are most one person bands).
This one is interesting (to me at least). Beats Antique bills itself as and "experimental world fusion and electronic music group. Basically this is just a posh way of saying "light electronic dance music with a distinctive Middle-Eastern flavour. (Middle-Eastern Dance Electronic Dance Music? MEDEDM? 
)
In the previous blog, i briefly mentioned two big influences, that of shadowrun, and the other, music. Music, is and always will be my choice of drug. Most of the love, came well, as a measure of solace. For many folks. A songs a song, and I get it it, even if I don't. Because my senses don't work like most peoples. I've been falsely labelled, misdiagnosed, and a variety of other things on that, but its, again, another topic for another day.
This was a delightful find that practically came out of nowhere for me. Very unique sound with a mixture of what Wikipedia describes as alt-country, neofolk/folk rock, and industrial(!), with a dash of gospel and Native American music. To my ears it sounds like the lyrical themes of traditional gospel, with the arrangement of alternative country (*not* the twangy, rhinestone-cowboy stuff!), and the sound of melodic doom metal (see Sinking Hands, Winter Shaker, Swedish Purse, and
Some bluegrass-folk music courtesy of Canada this time around. Features blisteringly fast banjo (is there any other kind?) which counterpoints lead singer Nate Hilt's rather raspy voice quite well. Quite nice if you are into that sort of thing.
A rather nice selection of deliciously grungy, hard al-rock. Special thanks to Darkhanos for the suggestion!
More Metallica goodness with their latest new album Hardwired...To Self-Destruct. Significant Other gifted me this for Christmas, and I have really enjoyed it. An altogether lovely return to their thrash-metal roots and a pleasure to listen to!
Some Indie Folk-Rock this time around. I actually bought this for Significant Other for Christmas. I do not typically listen to this type of music, but I must admit it certainly has grown on me. Lead singer Alex Church's voice is quite soothing (to my ears at least)
Peculiar Prezelmen, how to describe you? They all certainly peculiar, no pun intended; take a sold foundation of folk and compose it for banjo and baritone saxophone + clarinet. Stir in a generous measure of gospel and a large slug of post-punk rock. Season heavily with some playfully dark cabaret and add a sprinkle of steampunk for taste. If that is too much music-snob wankery, just think of it as "steampunk cabaret as performed on a saxophone".
Just a quick poll.
Who here likes the Theme Music I put up? Either the music itself or the fact that I put something like that up? 
Let me know! I love hearing from you guys.

Not much to say here. Have a tasty selection of excellent Celtic punk style music to enjoy!
BRMC is a lovely rock band with a spot of fuzzy noise rock and gritty garage rock thrown into the mixture.
AlicebanD is a relatively new artist from Essex, England led by singer and composer Alice Walker. She has a very smooth folk style with jaunty piano pieces interspersed with horns. That is about all I can find on her; not much out there on the internet (that I could find). Her music certainly is upbeat and peppy; I dare you to listen to it without tapping your feet!
This one was quite fun. Amaranthe has an interesting melange of powermetal, metalcore, and pop. That probably makes more traditional metal-heads cringe and wince, but I personally think lead singer Elize's bright, clean vocals make an excellent counterpoint to the other lead singer Henrik's more traditional "growly" voice.
Wikipedia Almighty describes Karma to Burn as a "desert/stoner rock" band with "an uncompromising, mainly instrumental sound".
Me? I have no idea what all that palaver means. What I do know is that it has some very pronounced acid-rock grooves that my co-workers and I enjoy listening to whilst loading up the lorries.
