"Weird" to be interpreted at the reader's discretion.

Looking for some cool new tunes.

I'll get the ball rolling with one of mine: Scaretale by Nightwish. That song is all over the place... it's like haunted fantasy carnival jingle metal. Love it.

"H.y.c.b.h" is one of my favorite songs

"Why am I anxious?" Is a personal attack

The one most people would probably find the weirdest is Pepper Coyote - no cock like horse cock

Thank you for reminding me about Lemon Demon.

That's probably the least weird Neil Cicierega track on my playlists.

Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes. It's banjos and a proper upbeat hoe-down vibe alongside lyrics talking about crushing poverty and killing one of your children so you can afford to feed the others and ends with the narrator hanging themselves. It's bleak as fuck and very not my normal jam, but somehow it grew on me and I love it.

Bonus: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Just a song about Godzilla smashing up Tokyo set to some pretty fun music.

  • Game sound tracks (Frank Klepacki).

  • Violin covers of movie themes and game soundtracks (Taylor Davis).

  • Weird Austrian pop band from the 80s (E.A.V.)

  • Jpop.

Take your pick.

Oh! Me too! I also love me some string quartet covers of metal songs.

Or the other way around, Leo Moracchioli is also amazing!

Thanks! I'll check it out!

MaxNormal TikTikTik. MaxNormal is a weird culty band, and TikTikTik is a strange song about not doing meth

EDIT: https://youtu.be/yW4jn4ng-HQ

Random smattering of Eurovision picks, Who The Hell is Edgar by Teya and Salena (Austria) is a hilarious banger and commentary on Spotify profits to artists. Also, No Rules by Windows95man was pure brilliance.

Power metal classics and a few covers of 80s hits.

TV theme songs, but the full full 3-4 minute song.

Weird Al's Hamilton Polka is top tier.

Plus some Disco era A and B sides, West African old school "palm wine music," songs from a few musicals including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode.

You know, just, like, normal stuff.

Dog Fashion Disco. I call it Circus-core. It's too dark and offensive to be taken seriously by most people, but it's got some good music behind it. And I once got to see them in a bar with a $10 cover. Fantastic show!

Melancholic Crossroads I like loads of her stuff. Current favourite is WW3 but she does slower stuff

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ahh, my christmas playlist

Rudolph the Coked Out Reindeer - Kamikazi

Pretty much any Christmas song from them tbh. Best version of Jingle Bells, Batman Smells.
