I love City Pop, especially Tatsuro Yamashita, and Mashayoshi Takanaka, but let's try something that isn't a meme. (This disqualifies Merzbow, unfortunately.)

My favourite OST ever, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter. Excellent music by an excellent composer from Croatia Damjan Mravunac.
"Sierra de Chiappas Peace" (Naboo?)
Serpent Yards Peace. Absolutely unique rating: 443 likes / 0 dislikes (Jun 1, 2021)
Courtyards of Gilgames Attack
Greatest of them all: The Grand Cathedral
The Holy Grail. Perfectly fits finals of epic movies: A New Hope, Terminator 2 and others.
The Ending

If you play all the tracks at once, it's actually pretty good! |

This song is thought to be a tribute to Star Wars and its bright burning blades. White heat Red hot White heat Red hot
I am, by the way, Judas Priest fan (KK Downing's retirement was painful to me), but I've never thought of it as of Star Wars tribute.

Yeah, I never made that connection but some fans have, and I could see it being loosely inspired. I like the lyrics either way. |

I went through a huge Flaming Lips phase in college after my friend played me Soft Bulletin during my first acid trip. He also played me Darkthrone and early Butthole Surfers, which sounds like a mean thing to do, but he was probably just clueless never having done any drugs himself. I even mixed down the four discs once. Most people don't know how to do it properly. Track 2 was intentionally out of sync on the discs. I heard there was a fifth disc made for one of its anniversaries. Ever since Wayne's Coyne's divorce, they sound like depression on two bottles of cough syrup. At one point, I was in contact with then-drummer Kliph online, and he promised to send me an alternate mix of the At War With the Mystics album with a different track list, in return for some Bruce Haack bootlegs. I never got it. He works for Super Furry Animals now, I hear. Who I ended up liking more than the Flaming Lips. I have a neat story about encountering Super Furry Animals in person and inspiring an impromptu song based on an XTC reference, but I'm not sure anybody here would care. Anyway, here's my Super Furry Animals playlist, if anyone's interested. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBOv4JkATJOvihzkQYMEqENPTexO8t00x |

The beginning reminds me of the Matrix soundtrack. Something tells me most of you will enjoy this one, if you give it a chance.

 I love Super Furry Animals. I got into The Flaming Lips in the mid-90s after hearing She Don't Use Jelly on the local UofO college indie radio station. I was really blown away when The Soft Bulletin came out. They took quite a quantum leap there, which they sustained for awhile. Until, yes, now their albums are not too compelling, but still worth a gander. For about 15 years there, they were one of the bands I'd cite when people asked which band most represents my personality. I've seen them live three times. The first was in '99 for the Soft Bulletin tour, which was one of the most other-worldly experiences of my life. Then for Yoshimi and War of the Mystics. Speaking of XTC references, for some reason this song by They Might Be Giants is one of the go-to songs for my brain to get stuck in my head when there's no other song doing so at the moment. Which has been the case for about 25 years now! |

I was just arguing about those guys in a Sparks facebook group. TMBG are a thorn in my side. One of the first bands I tried getting into, never really clicked for me, and eventually grew to hate. They share a love for all my favorite bands. I just can't find any emotional depth in their tunes. The lyrics are sort of clever, but everything else about them rubs me the wrong way. I really wish I liked them. I try again every couple years and then just get pissed off.
Anyway, because it's Independence Day, here's Devo's embryonic version of "Freedom of Choice" which goes on for some eight minutes.

 I was just saying a little while ago I don't even remember the last concert I went to. It had to have been about 2-2.5 years ago, but I can't for the life of me remember who it was. What a last year and a half, oy vey... And the thing is, I had a whole schedule of live shows lined up to go see last spring & summer and the lockdown started the day the first one was going to take place. And yes, that Stokowski piece sounds like The Matrix. |

It's the deep-space after-hours and, on a whim, I'm throwing some early '90s industrial jam into the mix, complete with synth percussion mayhem, blacklight erotica, old movie dialogue, the works:
Holli Would if she could...

It just occurred to me Check Your Head turned 30 this April.  The album that got me back into music. And still a personal favorite to this day. Solid and timeless. I also love their following album Ill Communication, despite it's perplexing lukewarm reception. I guess Check Your Head is a tough act to follow. |

Before Alice Cooper, before The Ramones, before Iron Butterfly, we had Music Machine. And they wore a black glove on their right hands.
