Articles
Music
In no particular order, just music that I think is good that I think people would like but that they might not otherwise stumble across.
- "Shame" by Low. Really, listen to anything by Low but I think this and "Lullabye" are the best.
- "Machine Gun" or "SOS" (ABBA Cover) by Portisehead. Look everyone knows "Glory Box" rules check these out because they rule in a totally different way.
- "Don't Slander Me" by Roky Erickson.
- "Call me a Hole' PomDeter mashup of "Call me Maybe" and "Head like a Hole."
- "I Was Made for Lovin' You" by Kiss Sped Up and Slowed Down with Reverb.
- (the) Melvins cover of Kiss's "Going Blind."
- "Janitor" by Suburban Lawns.
- The whole first album of Chipmunks on 16 Speed is worth listening to, as are parts of the second album, but the best track off of either is "Bette Davis Eyes."
- Pulse Demon by Merzbow. This is a harsh noise album, so warnings for loud and obnoxious noises. This is my heavy-duty, need-to-focus, emergency ADHD music.
- 9hr time-stretched "Bela Lugosi's Dead." I absolutely cannot explain why this works but the nine hour version of BLD played at 2x speed is a less aurally punishing version of the effect that I get from listening to Pulse Demon.
- "Supernaut" by 1000 Homo DJs (collab with Al Jorgenson and Trent Reznor).
