OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

[Zirakzigil]

Last thread was getting rather large. Continue:

Found this cool "best of John Peel sessions" playlist on Spotify. Not comprehensive, only few hours, but good tunes. Bowie, Buzzcocks, the Fall, the Stranglers, Galaxie 500, Belle and Sebastian, Pavement, Boards of Canada, Autechre. Some bands I've never really heard, like Julian Cope/The Teardrop Explodes, and the Waterboys.

Drinking game: Take a shot anytime Fripp or Eno show up in the HF Pens music thread.

Brutal on the ol liver when I'm around... fairly low-stakes while I'm on my increasingly-regular hiatuses.

...anyway... drink. Two times.

When you posted the song from Heroes, that's a double dip as well isn't it? Frippeno are both on there. Frippeno coincidentally, also being my favorite dip for Tortilla Chips.

Neither, however, appear here. I still hate lyric videos.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Ahhh! Correct you are!

Guess I'll just have to make up for that error, now...

Thread looks to have died a bit so...



Persefone is a 6 person progressive death outfit based out of Andorra. The entire population of Andorra is around 77k which means the country is at worst .0078% sweet ass death metal band and I think that's pretty neat.

I've probably already posted this in some past rendition of this thread but oh well. It rules:



Evidently my buddy played briefly in a band with one of the two drummers (guy in the Steelers jersey)

John Dwyer is a national treasure.

I think it's interesting that he's playing a Melody Maker here instead of his usual weird epoxy and aluminum thing.

That was my first guitar... a MM I mean. A '65. Shouldn't have sold it. Young and dumb.

Saw this crew in Asheville, NC and it was phenomenal.

I've been waiting for some more Depeche Mode, and I'm glad David seems to be doing well. I figured I'd read somewhere that he died considering the amount of hardcore drugs he'd been doing.

I think he was medically dead at one point for eight minutes or so a while back. But yeah, still alive and kicking. No Mode, but more than a few interesting gems dropped elsewhere.

I think you've dropped at least a couple tacks here by him and they've all been good.

I've always dug DM though so no real surprise I guess.

Yeah, sounds right. My interests in this thread are very much Dave Gahan and Death Metal.

Speaking of which, very nice track Depart Ogie.

I just googled and his nick name is the "cat". I've always liked his voice and darker tones, but not so much of the beep bop DM.

While we all wait for the new Arctic Monkeys album to release. This is a similar sound, female voice.

Been a fan of Persefone for some time but they had been quiet lately. I tend more toward prog or tech death myself....2022 is not even one month old yet and there have been hella good tunes dropped in those particular subgenres already. Particularly excited for the new Allegaeon.

My fav Soulsavers albums are still the ones with Mark Lanegan, who's got similar amounts of drug damage.

But yeah, Gahan is a great vocalist. Also Depeche Mode was an absolute blast to see live.
