I liked writing this post, so here’s another one! (why are there six artists in my top 5 i dont get it what is going on here guys)
These are my top 5 6 artists right now. Quite the mix, too. Let’s go through them! Again, with links to Youtube in case you are interested in hearing something new :)
1. E-Craft – Feindfahrt
My dear old friend Anders posted up a playlist on Facebook ages ago, with Aggrotech / EBM / Powernoise. E-Craft was one of the artists in the list and I liked them at once. This is my favorite song (from them) at the moment!
2. Corvus Corax – Bacchus
I have mentioned Corvus Corax earlier in my blog, I think. They are a german group creating lovely medieval music, among other things. If you haven’t heard them you really should go look up their CD’s Cantus Buranus and Cantus Buranus II, that are music adaptions of Carmina Burana. Such awesome music! We play them as soundtrack when we play Call of Cthulhu, since the music is perfect for cultist meetings and dark summonings ♥
Bacchus is a big favorite for me, and it is AWESOME for dancing!
3. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (David Bowie cover)
I’ve listened to Nirvana since I was 10, and then it was too late. He had already killed himself, which was sad. Nirvana is yet another one of those bands I start listening to when it’s too late :/
Anyway. We were out on a school trip and the guys I liked back then brought a CD player and played Territorial Pissing. I thought it was really funny with that ”squeaky voice” he does at the beginning, so I bought the album pretty soon after that and I’ve been hooked ever since. Kurt has an amaizing voice and I wish he would have stayed with us instead of joining Club 27. Nirvana for me is nostalgia.
4. Haggard – been there, done that. Nevermind them right now ^^
5. Namnambulu – Hunting
People keep sending me a lot of music. An old friend who’s a DJ once send me a lot of music that I put in my winamp playlist. Since I had about 7k songs in that list I always kept it on random. One evening, and this was back in …hm… 2005? I heard this really cool song playing, but I was in bed and couldn’t be assed with getting up, so I never caught the name of the song or the artist. Then it played again, a couple of days later, and I looked them up. Since I can’t find any proper versions of that song (Forgiving, feat. SITD) I chose my current favorite song by them instead ^^ I think it’s a cute song :3
6. Queen – Invisible Man
I have listened to Queen since I was nine. I used to stay with a friend of my parents who lived out in the country side, and she had a VHS tape with Bamse on it. This one time I couldn’t be bothered with turning of the VCR after the Bamse episodes had came to an end, and I realized that there were a lof of music videos on this tape, both before and after Bamse. Birgit or her husband Bror had actually taped ~2 hours of Queen videos, and then also 30 minutes of Bamse. I was hooked! The videos! The music! Everything! …and then I learned that also Freddie had passed on. I still love Queen, and it’s been almost 19 years now. Queen are my all time favorite band and words cannot really express how much I love them.
I chose this video because I think it is awesome. Also, no room can ever be hairier than when filled with Brian Mays :D
