Once in a while we all hear a track that we listen to over and over, until we get sick of it.

Let's post some of those tracks here. Preferably something off-kilter and rare, something you wouldn't otherwise hear. No Drake or Katy Perry.

Emma-Louise - Jungle (heard on The Slap, an Australian series)




Hermann & Kleine - Leaving You Behind (Without Knowing Where To Go) - a really beautiful track, anyone who has spent some time in Japan and ridden the trains will hearken back




Cold Cave - Love Comes Close - darkwave/synthpop from Philadelphia

Yeah, absolutely, there's definitely something in the water in Australia that breeds a unique variety of art. Art including music, street art, whatever. It's a different world down there creatively.

I always liked the more punk/retard rock from Oz:

Two songs from this artist. Burned out on it a while ago but still listen frequently.

Shit this song is stuck in my head today for some reason.

I never thought Springsteen would cover the Saints.

This song is a classic and still the jam

Múm, Green Grass Of Tunnel. This is a really beautiful track from Iceland, from 2002. Icelandic experimental music with a soft, steady melody.





Leo Choi - Just Kidding. Taken from a recent Richie Hawtin mix. Fierce electro with a catchy melody.

Heard this song in HBO 24/7 Leafs/Red Wings. I think it's at the end of the first episode. Not a fan of the original song, but I like this remix.

This reminds me of the soundtrack for Heat with De Niro and Pacino.

Big Love - Pete Heller - positive vibes, house from 1999- just a great track.



Havona by Weather Report -with the genius bassist Jaco Pastorius( bipolar, ended up panhandling in N.Y.C, sad ) - Jacos bass playing is like the "monkey-mind" described by buddhists, always chatting away in the background. No normal brain can do what the bassist does here.



Just call me Nige - Brad Meldhau - No words for this. Listen to this once a week. It clears out all trivial sh!t from my head. Plus, real musicians playing real instruments, recorded live, actually, for real. (If you like Radiohead you might like this.)

Gesaffelstein - a French musician, spinning at a club in Berlin (1 hour+). I just heard his stuff today, he's very good, and hard.





Shorter track of his (3-4 minutes) - very good

Wilco may be too popular for this thread but this solo is awesome:





Another great one if you've never listened to Wilco:

I'm really into The Penguin Cafe Orchestra at the moment. They are a band from the late seventies who got bored of classical music and wanted to do something new and different.

This is their most famous song. The basis of the song is the twanging of a rubberband and the dialing tone of a telephone.

It is strange, hypnotic and beautiful.





I will check out the rest of the songs in this thread later on!
