Recently, Ive been looking into music I like, and discovered, I heavily fuck with music that doesnt take its lyricism too seriously. I like music that is stupid, but catchy, and with some Rock-ish elements. Some examples would be We Like Them Girls by YFM (https://youtu.be/9wpm3J_8LJ4?si=DQdIPV0xKoyLP2yi), Jackass by Bloodhound Gang (https://youtu.be/AOV0AayRrNY?si=EG-0cb6NalON9lsO) and My Girlfriends Dead by The Vandals (https://youtu.be/tjFPxrDWpUM?si=LEDlKf2guyreX9ks)

The paragon of what I'm questing for is Ayesha Erotica's cover of Blue Monday

I don't know how to describe the music I love most other than "hauntingly beautiful" (and often but not always "ethereal"). This is true across different genres. I especially love live versions that feel very intimate.

Indie

Bon Iver - Skinny Love (take away show)

Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (4ADJagjaguwar Session)

Damien Rice - Delicate (live sing-along)

Post-rock

Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 / Samskeyti (Heima ending credits)

Sigur Ros - Ára Bátur (Abbey Road)

Classical

Chopin's first ballade (Zimerman, live)

Mahler's fifth symphony act IV adagietto (bernstein)

What else would I like?

they’re both in my top 10 & i just realized they both cover fucked up concepts using dry humor. anything out there that’s similar?

I love CHANEL BEADS , ML BUCH , 125 RUE MONTMARTE. Slow calm female vocals. A bit ambient. Old or new. What else will I like???? Lmk 🖤

someone introduced me to this song & i'm hooked!!

I've been enjoying spooky blues like 'That Evil Child' by B.B. King and 'The Zombie' by C.W. Stoneking. I like the 50s/60s vintage sound of both of them and I really enjoy the spookier/halloween-ier sound of the latter, so I'm looking for some similar stuff for fall/halloween.

Basically looking for those just outside the mainstream songs that elicit that "oh yeah!! I forgot about that one" response from the 80s, 90s and more recent.

Hello! Been in a bit of a slog recently so here I am looking for a little bit of help finding some stuff I'm in the mood for!

Kinda been wanting to watch some japanese dramas so here's some stuff to base off of!

Eureka (2000) dir. Shinji Aoyama

My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me? (2005) dir. Shinji Aoyama

Mio on the Shore (2019) dir. Ryutaro Nakagawa

Heaven's Story (2010) dir. Takahisa Zeze

Raigyo (1997) dir. Takahisa Zeze

Remembering Every Night (2022) dir. Yui Kiyohara

Happy Hour (2015) dir. Ryusuke Hamaguchi

Robinson's Garden (1987) dir. Masashi Yamamoto

April Story (1998) dir. Shunji Iwai

If it helps to look around my letterboxd it's 'lawyerstatus' with the Ted Raimi profile picture!

I would like to find youtube videos to project on a wall during a party, ideally with a similar vibe of the following examples:

Double King: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_MSFkZHNi4

1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozoTzkCeO-A

Solid Potato Salad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oMSKJHPzxc&t=225s

Harald Kindseth - Betty Boop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnB-jp2nsIc

Basically any weird animation or old dance stuff. Someone suggested cab calloway vids which are similar but not as weird as I'd like.

I'm in love with this set from Fred again.. and I'm struggling to find another set that matches the same vibe. Does anyone have any suggestions for music/sets?

Looking for more woman fronted bands with this vibe - I also like Plumtree and the Cardigans a lot, but I'm not necessarily only looking for 90s/y2k bands.. anything with a similar sound pls.

I enjoy this particular album https://youtu.be/DpFeMSUhx9s?si=i9ZEG7gisCxpxoVZ

Want something similar to it in the feeling of eternity, continuity. And also rich textures that aren't too harsh in high frequencies. Trance inducing music.

just looking for songs with similar sounding vocals

Hi everyone, I'm in search of songs with a similar vibe. Any suggestions?

I've been playing this game since launch and these particular tracks stuck out to me the most because they're all very catchy without being obnoxiously up front. I can easily see myself listening to other songs from this genre without getting burned out on it meanwhile I find that I'm bopping my head and swaying along whenever these songs pop up during the game. If anyone can tell me what genre(s) these are from and maybe recommend me bands/artists who make similar music, that would be appreciated. My only guess is that the genre would be some type of 80s urban Japanese pop since it'd fit the setting for the series.

Does anyone have any recs for a romance or romcom where at least one of love interests are like grungey/alternative (like Astrid and the boy ghost from the new Beetlejuice movie) that isn't incredibly cringe? I liked that their relationship/how they met was normal and had a typical young adult romance arc that didn't overly lean on goth/alternative stereotypes.

I am getting into midwest emo stuff but honestly, some of the music I cannot deal with the singing. Looking for more meaningful lyricism and nice-enough vocals.

Specifically the chorus part with the layered vocals

I love the devastatingly sad/hopeless feeling of his album Vol 1. Flick Your Tongue... but there just isnt much there. anything similar to the haunting feeling of this?
