oh, in the first hours of '05, while over at a friend's place,
Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here and
Jethro Tull's Stormwatch & Songs From The Wood
-- another pal had brought along cassettes of these and so, after a lot of years in Tull's case, I listened to these with certain amusement.

I already knew that the new Low album was brilliant, but now I have extra reason to believe -- listening to it cured my hangover!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 1 January 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

I don't like the new Low album at all, and this was confirmed again today.

the new Decemberists grew on me today.

The Nirvana box set is falling on my charts.

I don't know what to make of the Stands but I listened to that again today.

Am re-listening to the Anthology of American Folk Music tonight, even though it's soooooo not 2005.

The last song I listened to in 2004 was "As We Go Up, We Go Down" by GBV.

I found out today that Crunk is a musical style, I'd only heard of the word from a Big and Rich song, I thought it meant rubbish.

I'm copying tons (?) of salsa songs to mp3 and imprinting my brain with salsa for the new year. (I may have a new PC, but once I'm finished bonding with it, I hope I'll start getting out again.)

― RS LaRue (rockist_scientist), Sunday, 2 January 2005 18:09 (twenty years ago)

a bunch of pop/rap/pop-rap instrumentals and acapellas, as i'm playing with a very rudimentary mixing program, making mashups/blends. it seems that the "so ghetto" beat goes with *everything*! (especially the 'shook ones' acapella)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 January 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

I made a sappy sad playlist this morning because I couldn't wake up and was mildly depressed about getting back to work and it contained (among other things) songs by: Subtle, Animal Collective, Talk Talk, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Y Control and Maps), the Arcade Fire, the Wrens, basically a shitload of corny sappy overproduced indie rock. But it got me through the commute.

Brought a shitload of records down to London out of storage: Funkadelic/ Parliament/ Meters, oh and "Never Buy Texas From a Cowboy" by the Brides of Funkenstein, my all-time favourite P-Funk track! And classical stuff: lots of Berio, some Kagel, Xenakis. Was listening to "Coro" by Berio loast night 'cos I remember Julio mentioning it, couldn't be bothered with it, to be honest. So, keeping things Italianate, listened to The Four Seasons instead (Valli not Vivaldi). Also Robbie Basho "Seal of the Blue Lotus" - I'm too hip for John Fahey these days.

couple tracks of M.I.A./Diplo ("Galang" & some other, I forgot which)
Annie "Always Too Late"

Brandy "I Tried" + "Who Is She 2 U"
Christina Milian "I Can Be That Woman"
Big and Rich "Wild West Show" (lyrics = wtf but it sounds great)
Walkmen "The Rat"
Fox & Wolf "Youth Alcoholic"

I checked out a Fiery Furnaces track and it had this horrendously painful (to my ears) jam-band bassline and the very memory of it makes me want to stab myself in the eye. I wish I could un-hear it, but I can't. Is the whole album like that?

Willem - how's Horntveth?
-- t\'\'t (phono@

Estonian with unpronouncable alias: been offline for a few days, hence the belated reply...
The Horntveth album is okay, a little too 'soundtracky' for my likes. Mostly due to the violin arrangements which seem appropriate for a romantic 50's movie but are way too slick to accompany an otherwise nicely crafted transparent jazz-electronica mix.

I did have Assif Tsahar/Cooper-Moore's America on earlier, and before that, some Sonora Poncena Back to the Road to celebrate the fact that there is now a record for it in my library's catalog, which means it should makes it way to the CD bin within a few months (if not sooner).

"Weekends Away" by the Math and Physics Club. Listen here. Earlier today, I listened to The Complete Stone Roses, which is mistitled because it doesn't have all the songs from the first album.

― youn, Saturday, 15 January 2005 01:53 (twenty years ago)

Finally being able to copy tracks from CDs (and sooner or later I guess I'll get back to doing more downloading) has genuinely left me preoccupied with rediscovering things I already have in my collection. But I also notice that in general, the way I am hearing things lately is very unstable, so it would probably be worth checking out things I haven't listened to lately. (Justo Bentacourt for example. I remember posting that I really didn't like him, but when I was listening to some tracks from Pa Bravo Yo, looking for a song to add to my mix, I discovered that he sounds really good to me again.)

Julio: Devotion is amazing. It's before McLaughlin went all-the-way anal and shred-happy. Heavy grooves, kinda Sabbath-ish riffing, lots of layered multitrack phased and/or delayed guitar noise. Very advanced guitar sounds for 1970 although the overall recording quality shows its age a touch. The first track makes me feel airborne.

Ironically, with all the music I've been copying and uploading and whatnot, I'm in the mood for the relative quiet of my apartment (which isn't very quiet at the moment, since the washing machine's final rinse cycle is coming to a climax). But there are interesting sounds outside (probably thanks to the snowy weather) that sound like they could be wind, or voices, or distant machinery.

What's the new Aphex like?

Analord 10 is fantastic, kinda evolved from 2 Remixes by AFX I would think. Analord 1 is hard acid stuff, with one great (Where's Your Girlfriend?), one good, and several ordniary tracks. Analord 2 is softer, ambient acid stuff similar to some of the SAW 85-92 stuff.

Still need to send you the new MIA record, Marcello, I haven't forgotten. :-(

I'm listening to the new ODB record and LOVING it. I'm tempted to write something about it but since I will end up writing about racism/black porn, I'll probably back out because I am afraid of saying sth wrong about it. :-((((

Fnally decided that the new Justus Kohncke record, Doppelleben, is mediocre at best after listening to it again. As much as I love the instrumentals, I don't like his voice as well as the concept. :-(

Oum Kalthoum: Elb Yashaq'

I think I probably undervalue this one. Atypically for Oum Kalthoum, it's mostly about the groove (which comes in and out), and typically, Ahmad al-Hifnawi's solo violin is a highlight. Considering that she must have been in her late 60s here, she sounds okay.

Despite my recent Royal Trux obsession, I had been staying away from the earlier, weirder albums out of some kind of fear that they would spoil the perfect later rock albums somehow, but I recently got Twin Infinitives and I LOVE IT. It makes me feel fucked up, and it's totally listenable, though disorienting. I also got the new Howling Hex, though I haven't decided if I like it yet. The production is awesome though. And the LCD Soundsystem, which I listened to for two days straight last week but haven't had the itch to listen to since.

Then there's also a FATish additional booklet, 119 pp., in this box - "Fotbolls VM 1930-1998 av Brian Glanville", of which I'm able to verstand precisely nada also...

Well disk 3 features prevalently, not exclusively, Scandinavian composers, as I see'n'hear.

Of late:

Quite a lot of Want Two by Rufus Wainwright for purposes of Time Out review (out tomorrow spam spam) and blog piece, neither of which overlaps with the other.

Also:

Antony & the Johnsons Now I Am A Bird (this is just incredible; 35 minutes of hermaphrodite piano balladry with the most extraordinary voice I've heard in ages - Billy MacKenzie reborn in the body of 1973 Bryan Ferry)
Arcade Fire Funeral (wasn't expecting to like it but pleasantly surprised by its keen instrumental excess and the vocals don't bother me either! Also sent me back to:
Flaming Lips Hit To Death In The Future Head
and then there's:
Just-Ice Back To The Old School (FINALLY out on CD BUY NOW!!!! One of Mantronix's finest production jobs, I think. Listening to raw mid-'80s hip hop in 2005 is a bit like listening to Gene Vincent or Albert Ayler; with the best of intentions, you do feel that there's something in there which has now been lost)
Bark Psychosis Codename: Dustsucker (am unforgivably late in coming to this but this is a stunning piece of work)
Drifters The Definitive Drifters (for 1974 purposes)
Noel Harrison Life Is A Dream (his Leonard Cohen interpretations are, to put it mildly, remarkable. "Dress Rehearsal Rag" done inna cheerful uptempo Donovan stylee!!!???!!?)

Now: Cesar Pedroso y Los Que Son, Son: "Pupy" el Buenagente

Further proof that contemporary Cuban music probably isn't for me, despite this sounding very well-done in a many respects. I like the sound of the horn section here way more than I usually do on Cuban recordings. The violin is way in the back, almost subliminal. Actually, what I need to do is consciously try to listen to each instrument I can identify. The first track is pretty good, really. But there's this certain upward vocal shouting out that is in practically every timba or recentish salsa cubana song and it just gets on my nerves.

Other music: Red Sparowes and Boris.

I was wondering about that Culture Club compilation. I didn't realise there was a "Culture Club" in Ghent and thought you had got onto a belated Boy George kick!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 09:43 (twenty years ago)

Heheh, I think Boy George's voice is too engrained in my brain, I dont need to hear his music (not now anyway). :-) THe Culture Club in Ghent is one of those clubs that was *the* hottest place to be at a few years ago. I don't know about the current situation since I don't go there anymore. It was fun, but I didn't really feel very at home since... I'm not a *hip groovy chixor*. ;-) The comp has some nice hits on there, like Chromeo's Gangsta (by PLaygroup) and The Knife's Heartbeats (or whatever it's called).

I'm NOW printing out the Arular tracklisting. I know I have been very negligent towards you, Marcello. Hope you can forgive me. :-((((

More Scritti Politti (Songs to Learn). They sound really, really different then I'd expected, and so far I like them a lot. That might be partly due simply to being surprised by what they sound like, but I definitely like some of these songs for other reasons.

Hey, I just bought Songs To Remember, er, RS lawhatever your name isn't, I've not listened to it yet though. Apparently "The Sweetest Girl" and the one that sounds a bit like "Lions In My Garden" - the title, not the Prefab Sprout song is supposed to be good too. I think I'll like it. Green's gurly voice = the bippety bomb.

I am intending to buy An Extraordinary Garden, the Charles Trenet compilation from Amazon, very soon, but I have to wait til the Jeff Vandermeer book comes out first.

sundar, I don't hear that in Plant, not that I've really listened for it. I know he has mentioned Abdel Halim Hafez (who I'm mostly lukewarm about, although either way, Plant sounds nothing like him) and even Oum Kalthoum, I think, as singers he admires.

Mugam Sayagi, you mean?
On the first listen - I quite like most of it ..., like.
Btw, "Music for Piano" (7:32) is just Franghiz solo, no Kronos on that piece.
The opening composition ("Oasis" 13:19) and the title piece (21:20) are Kronos without Franghiz. And both sound rather fine to me.
Actually, the only thing that they perform together, "Apsheron Quintet" (18:58), is so far the one that I like the least...
Might change my mind, somewhat, after further listens perhaps. :)

"Helena". This is my current TV rock obsession. I like (not sarcastic - I like and envy this) that the singer looks like the hermaphrodite offspring of Billy Corgan and Avril Lavigne.

RS, I think some of the specific elements Plant mentioned as influences from Egyptian music were the use of quarter-tones and sustained notes followed by drop-off in pitch. I don't think he actually studied the music in depth or anything but it is interesting to note these distinctions from other rock singers. I don't know anything about Arabic music either music (though, actually, I was jamming with a taar player last night; it was fun).

Julio's Middle-Eastern music tape
Spoon, "Kill the Moonlight"

I would still be listening to music if my IPOD HADN'T DECIDED TO CRASH AND BURN. I dropped it, it finished playing the song, and then decided to make whirring noises and not do anything.

Hopefully it'll be okay once I plug it in, but for the rest of the workday it's annoying as shit.

subdar, I'd say Robert Plant's signing is pretty crude by Arabic classical norms, but maybe he is using quarter tones. I think I know microtones when I hear them, at least some of the time, but I'd trust your judgment (or the judgment of anyone else with some knowledge of music theory) more than mine. Plant's voice reminds me too much of obnoxious teenage behavior. (In interviews, of course, he's quite the educated and witty gentleman. I actually kind of like him personally, based on what I've seen of him in that context. Or if that's just another persona, then I like that persona better. Of course, I also see the humor in Plant's onstage persona, but his singing still bugs me.)

― Jordan (Jordan), Saturday, 19 March 2005 02:22 (twenty years ago)

RS: No, I'd probably agree that his singing is kind of crude that way. He does definitely seem to be shifting in and out of tune on purpose to emphasize certain phrases at parts (e.g. on "Since I've Been Loving You") but that's probably the extent of it - he's probably not moving by exact quarter-tones (25 cents). Not that I'd necessarily know anyway. I don't know that he even had the most accurate sense of pitch to even, like, sing perfectly in equal temperament to begin with. Partly I'm just fascinated by the idea of accidental/intuitive uses of microtanlity (cf Pavement, Kelly Osbourne).

But yeah, I'd also love to hear what Diamanda thinks.

I don't know if I hear the 'obnoxious teenager' thing the same way. There's an element of it but I hear other elements too (esp compared to say AC/DC's singers). If you can get used to his superficially unpleasant timbre on the high notes, he does do a lot with dyamics and gradations of pitch, even if it's not the most refined use.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Saturday, 19 March 2005 03:04 (twenty years ago)

(Jimmy Page was also pretty damn crude if you judge him by Karnatak standards. But he's interesting in terms of synthesizing different styles.)

(And I do like AC/DC's singers BTW. I like obnoxious teenage behaviour in music sometimes.)

hey expresso that pizzicato five sounds great! (I read yr blog post abt it but that reminded I really should look for it).

I ended the day with one of those indonesian smithsonian folkways CDs that an ilxer burned for me -- awesome series and it sounded far better than those nonesuch explorer discs - I'll have to explore this later.

I could hear some of those 'seasick' induced tunings that was common to partch's music.

Ultravox, Rage In Eden, which I haven't listened to in two years but ended up downloading (!) just so I could listen to it while I did homework and caught up on some LJs I've been negligent in reading. God, why on Earth haven't I listened to this album in so long?! The title track and "Accent On Youth" still manage to captivate me and take my breath away, and the album contains two of my five favorite Ultravox singles, "The Thin Wall" and "The Voice". I'm motivated now to drag out the CD from the under-the-bed trundle box it currently resides in and listen to it over and over again throughout next week.

got round to listening to LPs scored a long time ago last night (memory may be a bit hazy).

ornette coleman 'virgin beauty' this is pretty ace: no matter how straight he may sound at times there's always something 'off' about it. Jerry garcia is on a few tracks. I swear there's a synthesizer but there isn't one credited.

ornette 'song X' w/pat metheny, the last cut on side 1 is fearsome, turn over and ornette squealing along to synth guitar blips. its a winner!

ahmed abdul malik 'east meets west' LP - its early crossover: oud with a jazz section!! just when you think its a bit average there's always something gd coming and really varied stuff on side 2: best wd prob be what sounds like 3 eastern sounding violins 'going for it'.

I don't give a fuck if the ILX consensus is that The Bravery are not to be listened to -- I LOVE The Bravery! I've been listening to their music and also acquainting myself with Josef K's, mostly because of the connections to Franz Ferdinand, yeah. But hey, what I've heard thus far of their music makes me think that I'm REALLY going to love them (Josef K, that is), and is providing me with motivation to check out Orange Juice as well.

Towering above everything at the moment, Tomorrow, Tomorrow And Tomorrow by the Bill Fay Group - the long-awaited third album (recorded '78-81); beautiful, immense hard-won Olympian calm and the best musicians he's ever worked with (including a young Gary Smith on guitar). The song "Strange Stairway" has a particularly harrowing effect on me, as in thinking about autumn, about Oxford, about songs too late for some to hear; as in everyone who was put out of work at a stroke by punk - John Carter, John Howard, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Nilsson - slowly reconstituting themselves and finding new paths for their music, with greater service rendered therein. "The only thing that'll get us up off the floor is the love inside we."

I am also very impressed by the lovely new Evan Parker/John Coxon/Ashley Wales CDs on Treader; Evan Parker With Birds (a birdsong interface rather than a Girls Aloud collaboration, but one continues to hope) and Trio With Interludes (the latter with Mark Sanders on percussion). Compulsory listening for nearly every straw-eared poster who contributed to that misguided Dissensus thread, I think (Tim F and K-Punk excepted).

Neil Young: On the Beach. Oh, this is actually pretty good, maybe deserving of its reputation.

― the fucker that will burn you (sundar), Tuesday, 5 April 2005 00:51 (twenty years ago)

really well, I think. (I love Three EPs.) I don't want to say "it all sounds like 'Dry The Rain'" but lots of the songs have those melancholic harmonies. It's quite rhythmically inventive too, they go dancehall on one song! nothing really out-there like "Monolith" though.

I'm listening to Meat is Murder (which I haven't heard for a while, since my cassette copy started squeaking) and this still sounds really great to me (or "The Headmaster Ritual" anyway--as far as I've gotten), maybe even better than it did before because I am mentally comparing it to all the other stuff I listened to in the 80s that hasn't held up for me. Also, it's a lot funnier musically than I realized at the time, and rhythmically and stuff it's easy to see how the Smiths would be a hit with Mexicans. I mean this is like practically tejano or something. (I don't know what I'm talking about again, though.)

― latebloomer: strawman knockdowner (latebloomer), Friday, 8 April 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

Its great to hear it all even if it gets rather exhausting despite the miniscule length: compositons such as his Op. 6 pack so much charge!! That's the one that got me (and op.21) on my first webern (on naxos). and yet the whole set of discs undoes itself by chronologically putting one op after another whereas I'd prefer to hear one disc for the works for orchestra so you could hear the development: I'll almost certainly tape all of those and the same goes for the songs/lieder.

What did you think of the guitar on one of his compositions, btw?

Julio, I played the piece this morning. I'm interested in what you think of it. As I mentioned before on ILM, I still have some trouble understanding serialism in general. It's easier with solo pieces, particularly when there are moderating aspects (e.g. Reginald Smith-Brindle's "El Polifemo de Oro", which features a regular pulse most of the time as well as drone notes) or when there's a larger thematic element, e.g. with Pierrot Lunaire. I find this Webern piece particularly difficult, though I haven't spent much time with it. I didn't see connections between the different lines and didn't experience the broad shifts in dynamics and density that help me get into e.g. Boulez's first two piano sonatas. The hard strumming at the start of the second track in the piece (track 25?) was kind of neat. But I am interested in your reactions because I do feel there is something I can learn.

I'd like to see him make it through Webern though.

― the fucker that will burn you (sundar), Saturday, 9 April 2005 19:22 (twenty years ago)

sundar - haven't played the piece in two days but on the listen I gave it I'd say it sounded scarily like free improv in its lack of thematics and odd (its deemed as 'perverse' in improv's case but that's too easy: it sounds to me more like a product of players collectively trying to find a way to play) non-communication that does not stop the music from moving along that I find when I'm listening to it. but I dunno: I tend to turn my clueness of the nuts-and-bolts, theory-wise, into an advantage but also like to think I have a bullshit detector for the 'bad' stuff.

(but yeah I'll listen to this some more)

(I'd like to see everybody make it though webern, and, following from a discussion with an ilxer, unlike so much avant-garde classical it's so download friendly, length-wise!)

Julio: On second listen, I did start to see more of the connections between the lines (this sort of connection and interaction is principally what I look for in improv I believe). There's something not totally appealing at first about the soprano for me. I am intrigued, though, and I will listen for more.

Now I'm listening to the Lost Highway soundtrack. Also "Helena". I was trying to learn Django Reinhardt's "Nuages" earlier.

You know, I've been listening to The Bravery a lot lately, and I just don't get the hatred on this forum, especially considering how many here apparently just LOOOOOVE Duran Duran. I'm supposed to be this big Duran fan, right? I mean, it's even supposed to be a part of my schtick here, that kind of big? And, as a result, I'm supposed to kinda know whick artists out there would sound most like DD, you know, as this big DD authority... am I right? So why is there so much SUPPOSED love for DD on this forum and, at the same time, so much hate for The Bravery? The Bravery come closest to all the New Wave revivalists to the early '80s Duran sound, IMO.

In short, I'm listening a lot to The Bravery and I love them. And if you have a problem with that, I kindly invite you to kiss me where the sun doesn't shine.

I'm afraid the fact that I've recently gotten so many other new CDs is once more highlighting my difficulties in getting into most mainstream (and a lot of free/a.g.) jazz. I like some of this, but some of the bluesier/hard-boppish tracks, this one playing anyway, just don't do much for me. Of course, I knew this was going to be more inside kind of stuff and I took my chances.

I wish I wasn't addicted to Amazon market place sellers, I've lost track of the cheap CD's I've ordered. Should I really have ordered Black Tambourine's complete recordings? I like their song about throwing someone of a bridge, it was only £3.97.

Archers of Loaf are great though, a friend lent me Vee Vee back in '95, and I told him I didn't like it very much, silly me.

On the train back from Glasgow, which was two hours late, I drank little brown bottles of French beer which inspired me to listen to Francoise Hardy and Magma. Wish I'd brought me Brel(ly).

Ah yes, Magma, Steve Davis' favourite band.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 April 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

Steve "Interesting" Davis a prog fan - well, that figures.

Also given some cult albums/artists who've never particularly impressed me another listen. I do this periodically to make sure my first (and second and third and fourth etc) opinions were right after all:

Ash Ra Tempel: s/t (the guitar's all that matters on this album as Klaus Schulze is a schit drummer and you can't hear the bass player, luckily the guitar playing's pretty good)

Ash Ra Tempel: Schwingungen (first side with the looney singing is good, I don't know why anyone would bother with the second side when you've already got Pink Floyd)

Red Krayola: The Parable of Arable Land (I actually quite like this album now even tho the "Free Form Freakouts" are pretty useless, the songs are good)

Red Krayola: 2nd album (I think I said somewhere else that this is the album that invented indie rock! In other words, you probably wouldn't want to listen to it too often)

Skip Spence: Oar (Never really done much for me this album, all that stuff with Skip mumbling interminably over a bassline and some drums is bollocks. Some of it is good tho)

I'm planning on cleaning my bathroom today, so I'll be listening to tapes, probably the ones people have sent me lately:

(1) A: Sun Ra: Strange Strings + Ennio Morricone B: Ostad Elahi
(2) Nicky Siano's Legendary The Gallery
(3) Os Mutantes

Also in the mood for a corny psychedelia-tinged Baligh Hamdi song for Warda that I have on cassette.

It almost makes me want to clean my bathroom. I need to go buy more scrub rags (?) and stuff, and pretzels to munch on while I'm procrastinating. And gingerale for my gas.

Right now Les Rallizes Denudes ("Mars Session"), which isn't doing much for me. Oh, I like this part about 11 minutes into it.

(All of this subject to being interrupted if I get more recent CD orders in the mail today, or more CDs people might send me.)

I'm listening to the Shadi Jamil CD I bought (last summer? this winter?).

― TomBee, Saturday, 30 April 2005 09:38 (twenty years ago)

Arthur or the decline and fall of the British Empire by the Kinks. I remember Alba saying that this is his favorite Kinks album, or at least rating it above FtF, SE, and VGPS. I think it comes at the end of an arc, and I always like early stages but when they have become modern and are no longer archetypal. So SE for me. But this album is interesting and complex. I recently got the one with bonus tracks, so my impression of it may not be representative of the album proper, but it seems to have a distinct American influence and to signal the end of an age. I don't know if it's just in what it evokes or also in their development. It also makes sense for Alba: cosmopolitan (if not imperialistic).

― youn, Saturday, 30 April 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

But cosmopolites and imperialists represent opposing values, and cosmopolites who belong to the end of an empire are in a difficult position.

Another explanation for Alba's preference: American 60s girl groups, but this impression may be from the bonus tracks.

was Never Mind The Bollocks, finally, for the first time. Sent to waste basket after finished.

Now mixed rock downloads, including an Isis song that I inexplicably like: SWARM REIGNS (DOWN). It's good morning music anyway.

haven't been listening to much lately, not enough time or energy...did make this radiohead/pumpkins tape - both have a lot in common and funnily enough a taking sides thread involving both, one that I completely forgot about, has been revived today.

other than that some ghostface and james dillon -- this v beautiful work for 16 singers.

Kazantzidis Marinella! I found someone with lots of Greek mp3s in his files on a Latin music hub. So this may turn out to be the year I begin to dig into Greek music.

― RS_LaRue (RSLaRue), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:34 (twenty years ago)

Wait, I wanted Stelios Kazantzidis. I got mixed up. This is pretty good though.

― RS_LaRue (RSLaRue), Monday, 16 May 2005 11:56 (twenty years ago)

It turns out that Kazantzidis Marinella is a woman who sang with Stelios Kazantzidis (so he is on some of these songs, though I didn't recognize him, since I know next to nothing about Greek music, as if that weren't obvious by now). (Please, make it all more confusing.)

Tiny Tim's "Stay Down Here Where You Belond"

This song is so proto metal. The Lyrics make the think of Black Sabbath the singing makes me think King Diamond.
