Toadfish Monastery

A radio feature on drinking water

Hasan was "browsing for opera videos" (!) and shared this find with me. I thought all y'all might enjoy his extraordinary voice as well.

Faure - Requiem

Some German national(ist) songs on youtube. Cthulhu needs some more aggressive songs as counterweight to the sugar-coated stuff that crept into the songbook lately (and there may be even more Lazytown derivatives in the future).

Lots of "Here Lies Love", lately.

If David Byrne and Fatboy Slim teaming up with a wide range of female vocalists to do a concept double-album about Imelda Marcos* and the woman (not her mother) who raised her doesn't at least prompt a second** glance, check your pulse.   It's pretty good...

A: Does 3000 pairs of shoes ring a bell...?

**possibly horrified, I suppose</sub>

Another brick in the wall part 2

To be remodeled along The Rats in the Walls by HPL

I have seen abominations
I have lost all self control
So dark the chasm in the dungeon
Creatures! I'm a Delapore
Iä, Creatures! I'm a Delapore
...

Edit: It's done and posted in the Choral Squid thread

Rachmaninov: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, op. 43

I have some pretty cool, but fairly random classical/romantic stuff on my computer, I really should listen to it more. What's funny is it takes me 10 minutes into a 22 minute piece to realize I'm not listening to techno anymore. XD

LazyTown songs in preparation for cthulhufication

Crazy obscure techno from Newgrounds ages ago.

Edwyn Collins "Never met a girl like you"

Earth died screaming - Tom Waits

I always loved the song since 12 Monkeys but never set my attention on him. I guess I should.

I think you'd be able to appreciate (& perhaps cringe at) the things that man does with his voice, Zono.

I've been listening to Swordfishtrombones a bit on Darlica's recommendation, it's definitely a good transition between his older and newer stuff.  I'm a big fan of the live album "Big Time" and of two 90's releases, "Bone Machine" (from which "Earth Died Screaming" is taken) and "Mule Variations".


_{hmm... 12 Monkeys and Fight Club both star Brad Pitt as a nutcase (his best roles) and include songs from Bone Machine; the latter ends with the Pixies song "Where is My Mind?", which is from the album Surfer Rosa, which includes the track "Bone Machine"; the former is directed by Terry Gilliam as is the Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which prominently features Tom Waits as a personification of the Devil.}

Several versions of the Russian folk song Chorny Voron (Black Raven).
Not two of them use the same text and all seem to subtly vary the tune.
How can I cthulhufy something like that?
