Inspired by an old post of littlebutfierce, who has been looking for some new tunes lately.
Everybody likes an excuse to talk about their favorite music, right? Recommend me music, recommend other people music, make a specific request for music recommendations you might like, go for it!
Here, I'll go first:
(all links to youtube unless otherwise indicated)
Ziyoou-Vachi/女王蜂 play the kind of fantastically loud music you listen to when you really, really need something to be louder than the thoughts in your head. That's kind of a mundane description -- I do mean fantastic, it will be loud and driving and a little frenzied and then sometimes you get this snatch of beautiful slowed-down sweet melody in the middle. Or the beginning. Or during the entire song, in a few cases.
Disco (dailymotion link) is their really popular song, and it's very good, but I think Matsu Onna (guns/shooting cw) and Kuchisake Onna (knives cw) are more representative. The singer, Avu-chan (who is a biracial trans lady) has two different 'voices' she uses, one of them's really deep and rough and the other one is very high, so it almost sounds like two different people singing.
They have three (amazing!) albums out, but are currently on indefinite hiatus. :( Recently, Avu-chan has appeared on one track of the Sailor Moon 20th Anniversary album (which you should also listen to).
Everybody knows Shiina Ringo, right? No? Well, she does a lot of alternative and jazz kind of thing, lots of experimental music. Her songs make me FEEL THINGS in a very profound way that I find hard to describe -- one of my life goals is to write something that gives the same feel as a Shiina Ringo song. Recent favorites are Kodoku no Akatsuki (tumblr audio post), 青春の瞬き (ALL THE FEELINGS, mainly a kind of yearning that is not exactly nostalgia), and her two songs with SOIL &"PIMP" SESSIONS, a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOtO_TxQ6iM">殺し屋危機一髪 (contains guns/shooting, knives, big spiders) and MY FOOLISH HEART, which are two of my favorite songs on earth. Especially that last.
I was going to rec a lot more stuff, but I am getting some serious hand twinges, so I will leave you (for now) with a really fantastic jazz version of Moonlight Densetsu:
Also, if anybody wants to rec me some modern/new jazz, that would be lovely!
Please link this post to all your friends, etc etc., so we can get a wider pool of tastes (and more music).
