Immortal - Thomas Bergersen (2011)

Poem by Thomas Bergersen, vocals by Merethe Soltvedt:

Spoiler

"Hey, Immortal Soul
Thou who walk the darkened nights
alone
Selflessly to protect your kind
Do you feel lonely
Knowing you're the only mind
Who will outlive every one you know
Does it bring you sorrow?
Oh, Immortal Soul
Tell me how it feels
To be a spirit walking
The plains of earth you own
Alone"

[fladdermasken]

Also been getting into Kosmodrom lately. People should just shut up and listen to Stoner/Psychedelic rock. If you don't, you're a shitlord and the universe will get you back for it.

Anyone remotely interested in trip hop, should know how big a deal it is when DJ Shadow releases new stuff.

40 years of Gaming - Dan Bull (2014)

Dan Bull has released songs on digital rights, the music industry, and gaming.

In 2015, he contributed a rap song as an advertisement for the release of Heroes of the Storm, on behalf of Blizzard Entertainment.

His Overwatch song should be watchable from within the Battle.net launcher.

[Naze]

@fladdermasken n I was unaware of trip hop all this time. DJ Shadow's album specifically sounded so different I still haven't digested it, it is like the ambient (and kinda hipster) cousin of regular rap, but also kinda melancholic. What a thing.

@pyf oh it's been a long time since I last checked Dan Bull, I didn't know about that Overwatch Rap and all the Blizzard support he's been recieving. Nice to hear that.

@Heinvers yarr (who needs twerking when you get 60's twist)

I'll just leave a live performance of the coolest hipstery ambient music guy, Tycho:

Love is all - Ronnie James Dio (1974)
(excerpt from The Butterfly Ball and the Grasshopper's Feast)


(with sound effects, VHS quality, original airing)

(without sound effects, better image quality, logo'd)

The song and its accompanying animated music video were very popular in France during the 70s, despite random airings.

It was sometimes used as an interstitial program on the second French TV channel. It could also be used when the TV channel was experiencing "technical difficulties". And it experienced quite a few back then, much to my delight.

 

[Naze]

Ronnie James Dio, performing songs for tv cartoons? Wow that's unexpected! But he indeed had an interesting carreer before going into metal. Here's a cool happy classic rock song from when his band was still called The Electric Elves (before Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, etc...).

The Robots - Kraftwerk (1978)

Longer version, from their 1978 studio album The Man-Machine:

No remix beats the original version imho; not even the official ones.

When the song is performed, the band is traditionally replaced by their "robotic" lookalike counterparts.

A little collection of some of the stuff I saw live last week.

[StoPCampinGn00b]

*In comes the mainstream train*
Borderline mainstream, to be specific.

Post-hardcore metal/punk + rap (<- The hipster kids like to categorize music genres in that fashion, I think)

Non radio hip-hop. Suicide Squad advertisement basically.

2 bands and 4 rappers each get their tiny little spotlight.

 

[pyf]

Rockit - Herbie Hancock (1983)

(from Wikipedia)
A worldwide anthem for the breakdancers and for the hip-hop culture of the 1980s.
Also, the first recognized popular single to feature scratching and other turntablist techniques.

The movable robot-like artworks were created by British artist and inventor Jim Whiting.
