What are you listening to at the moment?

I've been listening to Alice Cooper's albums from the 80's - which must collectively be one of the most underrated artistic era in the history of rock music.

Good to hear, it seems like I have to check out Bythos too!

Wonderful to hear, do you know of any platform where I could see more of her works?

Sadly I can't help you with that: good luck with Google!

Since my Bythos seems to have been stuck somewhere between the publisher, artist and myself, I am now listening mostly to the extended versions of Akira Yamaoka's classics (like Betrayal), to give some paced ritualistic rhythm to my a bit problematic energetics.

That, and David Hasselhoff. "The Devil is watching as we slide into the night..."

Electro swing is my new favorite. The swing revival was amazing on it's own, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is great for example, but adding electronic dance music elements to it adds fun flavor. If I could bring myself to it I'd love to make something similar with dark cabaret elements.

Also my favorite vocalist of all time, Catherine Ribeiro, did her first album in 1969. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZB42zO ... ZmtwNvOr55

Lot's of great music from that year, but these might not be well known. Catherine Ribeiro records, for example, have just a handful of votes on Rate Your Music. That's crazy, but works for me, because if she became "discovered" by hipsters, they'd rape her legacy politically.

The same source I found Ribeiro some years ago I've now found a great guitarist Robbie Basho. Someone could see the cover image as a hipster magnet, but I only see master falconer stepping out of some mythological fantasy world. I rarely enjoy solo guitar much, but the way he did it, sort of back woods own kind of way, works. The tempo can change just like that and back again, as if an old woman would be singing a spell to her natural surroundings; It's not a performance, but a humanbeing taking his place under the hills, the woods with its owls, deers and other animals, beside a little mountain creek perhaps.

This is the strangest cover version of Oh Fortuna I've ever heard.
I can't decide if I hate it or like it.

I'm listening to one of my all time favorite symphonic BM albums in honor of Monday.

Limbonic Art - In Mourning mystique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXfZAbF ... oo&index=5

I'm still in crybaby mode so I only want to listen to music that makes me want to cry, so if anyone has any more recommendations for sad songs, I'll take them! I've been really into this song lately from :of wand and moon:

Though neofolk tends to often have very nationalist themes, whether for shock imagery or not, I enjoy the sound. It's weird to me to think of some neofolk as some NSBM, but I suppose the idea of cultural superiority resonates with many groups.

Although many groups might have these ideas behind their music and many try creating a music to sound like "soundtrack for kali-yuga" I for one like at least some Finnish neofolk groups like Tervahäät. Some of their albums give this very "kurja" and "ankea" (miserable?) soundscape and even some songs have banjo in it which I find very funny.

This is unfortunately not crybaby material! I haven't listened to Amorphis a while, so I started from Grail's Mysteries and head thereon to the whole album and then Tales from the Thousand Lakes, which is perhaps the best death metal album ever made in Finland. Competes with Slumber of Sullen Eyes by Demigod.
