songs for sad people

this is the era of economic crisis. i also have an emocional one. love problems. what would life be without them? easier.

in case you ll have some similair occurances i suggest you to listen to these songs. they help you to be even more fucked up..

this video is for cutting veins. who can resist this sorrow?

the next one is metronomy, this song has been following my love tragedies already for a year.



now let s go back to sweet nineties. one hit band is White Town with a great clip and even better song.



how could i leave out our queen of sadness and sorrow, one and only Beth Gibbons and Portishead. without them music would never become what it is now. if you want a band for the great world depression, portishead is more than adequate. for some people, including me, there is a side effect of the tears they arouse, that is the feeling of extreme satisfaction!!



another gloomy band which is one of my favorites is Blonde Redhead. as soon as you hear Makino's high pitched voice, you can only weep in beauty.
in the video that follows you can see Miranda July, performer and director (her debut was Me You and Everyone We Know - excellent movie!!!



next, the princess of twisted loneliness is Leila. she produced Bjork s second album Post and was hanging out with Tricky and the gang. still she remains unknown and creates weird electronic trip hop idm, i recommend her albums although people don t really grasp her at the first instance.



good old Mount Sims, the king of electroclash in early 2000's comes in 2005 with Ashes.



to end this sad terror here comes Grandaddy, one of the best american bands ever existed. they fell apart 2 years ago, that saddens me too.



well, if you listened to all these tracks, and if you re still cheerful, then you re not human!!!!

boards of canada neverending era

one of the rare performers i never ever get bored of is Boards of canada - the duo of Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. They have concerts rarely, almost never. First i ve heard them 8 years ago, as soon as first tunes came up, i wondered: what the hell is this shit? weeeird..hmm...i love it!!!
and then i fell in love with them, even now i still am. their music is so inspriring, old yet new, their synths dreamy and sometimes atonal, their samples bizarre, they are one and unique. i could write another post on PLAID because they are the closest band to BOC, but still different.












BOC have alltogether 3 LPs, lots of EPs and compilations.
Music Has The Right To Children was my first BOC encounter, still one of the best albums i ve heard. Geogaddi is somewhat darker, but beautiful. The Campfire Headphase is more optimistic, but still fucked up as the other albums ;)
fucked up-ness is a feature that good music needs to contain.

one of my friends described BOC recently: you know, you have a stove, an oily dirty stove. you play BOC and stains on that stove simply vanish, disappear. That s what BOC does to me.

their music is not so complex, they don t have many lines, couple of synths, rhythm and wicked samples. yet they create such a complex world. shamanic. as if they drink ayauasca, or eat LSD, or simply, they come from another world.


















ok, that s enough of the video clips ( these are all home made clips since they don t even publish their owns.)
oh no, it s a lie, they do have ONE official video ( after 15 years) , here you go:





enjoy their music, because i surely am, was enjoying and will enjoy.;)

the new future

if you are a fan of downloading music and not paying for it like me,....

if you re into DIY, idm, electronica, indietronica, electro, skweee, glitch, etc....

if you re into people who make music without interest to earn money out of it....

then..
