More of the delicious, delicious Peculiar Pretzelmen...

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!

'AquaSonic, the world's first aquatic music ensemble...'

King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part I: 4:49 to 6:01

There's a reason Robert Fripp once likened Bruford and Wetton to a "flying brick wall".

King Crimson - Easy Money (live 1973): The whole thing.

Ditto.

Brand X - Nuclear Burn: 5:18 onwards.

This just might be my favorite love song of all time.

The song is "Destiny" by Zero 7. It was released in 2001. (And yes, that is Sia on vocals.)

I mean, it's an instrument made out of old playground equipment and dodgeballs. What's not to love?

Bonus: For those who aren't too keen on traditional Jewish folk music, he also does classical songs:

A while back, someone lodged a complaint about all my Metallica-related posts using "Enter Sandman." To that person (whose name escapes me at the moment), I give you something using "Sad But True" (which, as it turns out has pretty much the same chord progression as "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder).

Before I really focused in on writing (and to a lesser extent photography) as my preferred form of creative expression, I tried out plenty of other things, including music. I recently decided to have a listen to some of them after having ignored them for years, and most of my audio dabblings don't really hold up (at least to my ears). This one wasn't too bad, though.
