Song of the [Whenever]

So I figured I'd put up youtube links to songs I listen to every now and then. Because I listen to a shitload of weird music.

Numero Uno: Accidentally Like a Martyr; Warren Zevon

Deux: Do we? We do!- Automatic Toy's cover of Beck's album. The one that was only released as sheet music.A good Grunge Dirge type thing

Trois: Something Wicked That Way Went; Vernian Process
A good song for fans of creepy circus shit and other such tomfoolery. Seriously, don't listen if you've got a clown phobia, but for the rest of you it's deliciously twisted. In a good way, not a Kelevra way.

Four: Black Hole Sun; Soundgarden
Soundgarden are just really fucking good at what they do, and they do everything pretty much. Well, Grunge and Psychedelic rock, and those are some of the better genres these days. Unlikely to get gutted like pop did.  Quick warning; The video is kinda creepy.

The Fifth One: Death to my Hometown; Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen is my second favorite country singer, and this one is eerily appropriate. After all, I did bring death to my hometown. Even if it wasn't the actual meaning of the song, it still fits...

MOAR BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: The American Land
This is really fucking stupid, but I'm bored. So yeah. Music. Enjoy.
-Craft

Sieben: Maybe I'm amazed; Paul Mcartney (and Wings)
These guys get comparatively a lot of flack, but I like them. I mean, if it hadn't been Mcartney, they'd be praised to the skies, but they get judged for not being as good as 'The Beatles'.  Which is kind of harsh; an impossible standard to compete with.
-Phil

восемь-Shepherd's song; Katzenjammer
A nice lighthearted song. I guess it's well overdue, and everyone needs a break from the grim darkness, misery, madness and death. So here's some happy music.

 NEIN!- While my guitar gently weeps- The Beatles
A great song, with some great covers. I personally like the Jeff Healey  Band's version, but the Beatles/ Metallica mashup (Beatallica)'s version, While my Guitar Deathly Creeps, is also pretty good. Also, it's a Beatles/ Metallica mashup band. There's no real possibility for anything but ridiculously awesome.

Deg- Starman; David Bowie
I'm not so into glam rock, but it's fucking Bowie. If you don't like it, you need your head examined.

  2. These are all good songs. I'll have to get into Pendulum when I have time and a better internet connection, not to mention Florence & the machine. I got one album from my sister ('Lungs') when she went to university, but never went further than that

    1. I think I prefer the electrical version, but different strokes for different folks. Put it up as an alternative.
