yeah I download like a bunch of shit I haven’t heard every week and throw it into the shuffle all pile. new music for me is always a surprise during the usual. I try to mark stuff I super like on last.fm, but this is the reason I can never answer the question ‘what kind of music do you like’
WHAT THE FUCK AM I EVEN SUPPOSED TO SAY? whatever I say they think that’s all I listen to so I have to be as broad as possible and I usually just say ‘annoying shit’
I
so this is impossible, but here’s a list I quickly put together without thinking about it too much.
I’ve listened to the album this is from like 5 times now i love it. My fav new song from this thread (ive listened to 4 of youses playlists so far)
Thanks for your posts friends
it’s a brilliant album, the strange interludes are so great
this is so hard omg.
if i was being honest with myself there would be a lot more sewerslvt in the top 10 but for the sake of representation i’ve tried not to double up:
everything after the top 5 is like kinda fuzzy and could change order or be swapped out w the top 20 at any time (i literally changed this list while writing this which means i Need To Post This). honourable mention to laura les’ cemetary 4 which goes real hard and made it into the list like 5 different times before it was finalised.
i’ve done this exercise multiple times before and about half the songs stay the same and the other half always change significantly. but regardless, here’s one version of it
bonus hidden track: Destroyer - Certain Things You Ought to Know
I seriously considered this and it’s gotta be two versions because 2 of the songs I want are not on Spotify!
I had to switch out The Blue Hearts “Linda Linda” (the greatest punk song) for Sambomaster’s “futari bochi no sekai”. A song in which a man seems to have multiple orgasms before he ever starts singing. He does not stop seeming to have orgasms though. Then says a bunch of pretty things about a loved one before de-evolving into guitar noise and screaming.
Then I had to switch out my actually favorite China Drum song, the acoustic version of “Biscuit Barrel” for the acoustic version of “Down By The River.” China Drum also did a semi-famous cover of Wuthering Heights which was on at least one of your lists.
I love Augie’s Great Municipal Band horns and the the cut to credits music may be in my top 10 sounds on earth.
Broken Spotify link! I had the same issue when I posted, I had to open it first in a browser so it would redirect, then paste that new link.

im too lazy to make a spotify playlist i dont really use it anymore but i can if its helpful…
BUMPING MY FAVORITE THREAD EVERYONE POST IN THIS THREAD.
Ooh, should I make a new playlist?
i tried doing this last year but gave up, i think i’d need like a hundred song limit to be anywhere near complete and even that would be difficult for me. i went back to the playlist i was trying to put together before and landed on this which has like, many many important omissions but it’s at least a good cross section of my favorites and each one is like a crucial inclusion and kind of represents at least some of the other stuff that’s not present
i think this would be the eleventh song or it could be swapped for the last one
details in each little breakaway
My babysitter gave me this CD shortly before I moved to Spokane as a 12 year old and subsequently permanently altered my brain chemistry to enjoy music like this.
I could honestly do a “ten favorite KMFDM songs” alone, but this one is always at the top even as the other picks vary. It’s almost like a “greatest hits” KMFDM song on its own; it veers around between basically every music style they’ve used in their career before and since. A real banger too.
Another artist I could pick so many favorites for, but I always come back to this one first, so. Makes me sad. I love the gradual build-up of the drum patterns into the shrill reverbs.
First exposed to this through the David O’Reilly music video. Still gives me goosebumps. Maybe the sickest breakcore song ever made?
Like a thief in the night; meaning, a surprise; meaning, when you are unaware. Hear and understand. Hear and understand.
Like most people I probably heard this song’s instrumentals in an Adult Swim spot, which unfortunately makes me cringe. I really love the sampling in particular.
The way it starts so small until it completely fills your head. Always calms me. I wanna do a jam like this someday.
It’s a shame this guy’s channels from 2009-2010 constantly got nuked for “sexual content”. I have his first two vinyls. My sister introduced him to me but always thought of him as a weirdo and not like, a real musician. He’s real good though.
My first The Knife song, the one that lives forever in my consciousness. The guy who introduced me to this song and video, a man who we routinely made fun of for his obsession with correctly drawing dog dicks in furry art at the time, is now a reactionary poster on a site I won’t name for obvious reasons. Weird how the world changes.
The main guy for this band Gobble Gobble apparently had a falling out with them and had to reform as Born Gold. I have this on a single with End of Days (for Gobble Gobble) and an LP (Bodysongs). Cactusquid introduced me to it.
Foals quickly became my favorite band, and this song really makes the case that they can do what nobody else can. It’s divine.
Absolutely devastating track that soaks in the sorrow. God I love this band.
I could truly listen to this song forever. I love how it is in no rush whatsoever to come to an end.
I’m a sucker for melancholy. Give me that misery.
If I have one complaint about this incredible track, it’s that it ends just as it really gets cookin’. Tragic.
The asynchronicity of the three singers at the end 
Never let this one pass my playlist without getting a full listen.
Was obsessed with this band all throughout high school. I went back through their discography recently, and while I wish their songs had a broader scope than they do, I still love them a lot.
This was my favorite track, and it’s still a banger:
Kinda wish I could just cut out the weird intro to this, but, once it starts, it’s a wonderfully pleasant song. Certainly my favorite Daft Punk track.
Love a post in this thread.
i had a hard time with this too! still having a hard time with it.
the opening verse of “exiles among you” by the weakerthans is the best representation of my feelings on my gender identity ever. i may have already said this on this forum but i’m saying it again.
“electro world” by perfume was super important to me when i was getting into perfume, it’s still important now, and my life changed dramatically after getting into them.
“binsenka” by clammbon is a beautiful song with a horn section, which honestly there should be more of on this list but there should be more of a lot of things on this list. anyway, it’s one of the songs last.fm suggested to me back when i was looking for stuff similar to katamari damacy music back in like 2005 and it started a huge shift in my tastes.
here’s a youtube playlist as well.
thank you for this thread and everyone posting in it!
Pumped for this one.
this is the first time I’ve really used spotify ha
(wrote a whole lotta text and realised “maybe that was just for me to process” and the music can speak for itself)
