I am Listening to...

I can't decide whether that's one of Eivør's poppy or one of her rather individual songs, but it definitely is good =D

So very true...

Not exactly my style, but definitely great!

Okay, I am officially in love with this song... And I am not even (yet) a fan of GoT due to the (from all I hear about the series, unfortunate) fact I have never seen it - yet xD

Having just gotten home from the local dark culture party I'll listen to your links some time later and will now stick with what has been put on my ears for the last several hours:

Saltatio Mortis - Prometheus, a song about Prometheus giving mankind fire, thus liberating mankind from the olympic gods, giving the power to burn and the power to understand.


ASP - Zaubererbruder (brother witcher) and Der geheimnisvolle Fremde (mysterious stranger) from the Krabat cycle, a musical adaptation of a sorbian/wendish legend dealing with the topic of black magic and the difficult way back to the light side. Note; second song starts at 20sec mark after the channel intro.



Eisbrecher (icebreaker) - Schwarze Witwe (black widow), basically a BDSM way of love songs =D


Another take on the same topic: Tanzwut (dancing mania) - Bitte Bitte (cover, originally sung by Die Ärzte); "pretty please, let me be your slave" is the chorus line



"Paulas Spiel" ("Paula's Game") by Neue Deutsche Härte (new German hardness, a sub-genre of Rock music belonging to and influenced by dark culture) band "Janus" is a great example for one of the important facettes of dark culture; while we definitely aren't all-time-depressive like some outsiders like to claim, many songs do deal deeply with the subject of psychic problems. We don't glorify them (again a common claim by outsiders) but we embrace people having them like no other subculture, which does of course lead to many of them turning to us; because we accept them as they are and because dark culture songs dealing with their problems depict them as they really are. And "Paulas Spiel" is a very thorough depiction of someone suffering from borderline (if you don't know what borderline is, please read it up. Chances are you know somebody suffering from it and it's important to know how to act towards them).


And to finish back on the brighter side of life Schandmaul (evil tongue) - Der Teufel hat den Schnaps gemacht (the devil invented booze) in its international version, including Germany-based modern irish folk band Fiddler's Green singing in English:

Dex, do you know that? =D

LOL yes I do.  

Now eat this...

He's fleeing from their truth, while there's time, while he's not one of them, though at the risk of staying alone because of this; that's how much I can understand from the text. But I'm not sure about anything else

Given the current events in Europe, I think this song is very fitting.

They're back and actually decent. 

And I beleive this one is for certain Donald guy.  

One for graymac:



And another for Quork.

SalMo are great, though mostly their older stuff =) Thanks!

Well, the Irish live music scene is well an truly stuffed, thanks to the Covid-19 virus. The arts generally are suffering dreadfully.   I got seven guitars and nowhere to go play any of them.
Here's what I've been listening to on YT, great talented young musicians.

There'll come other times as well... Let's hope, our artists etc. survive that long.

I think the "music industry" as we know it is going to disappear. There will always be talent though and it will find new ways to express itself, given time. Much of what sells, or gets downloaded by the masses isn't necessarily "talent" but you can't dictate good taste. Give the rabble what they want.

More of "what I like"

Ooooh, Patty is great <3

Well I'm a rock and metal guy. Not entirely sure how that'll come across but there we go. I'm listening to the "songs for the deaf" album by Queens Of the Stone Age

Edit: forgot to add this: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lyRw6HcjQKfiFVaXj4nnVaStrAn9-NX8U

Great. I'm a rock and metal guy too. Only "too much of it" is the reason why I'm the deafest guitarist in Co Mayo (and maybe Connacht, or even the whole of Ireland, who knows?)
So, you younger guys, enjoy but stay within safe dB levels - I have to stick with "unplugged" these days!
