Gothic Americana/ Alt-Country/ Dark Cabaret

Oh sure, I use those when I get stuff from blogs. Have never used it sharing between individuals, though.

On forums it's generally frowned upon to post links to album downloads as it could attract unwanted attention from "The Man". Therefore we usually do it through Private Message upon request. However if you created a mix, much like the one you bought, posting a link on the forums is a great way of introducing members to new groups.

Anyhow I finally got around to creating these videos and uploading them to Youtube, hope you enjoy. Munly & The Lee Lewis Harlots is possibly one of the darkest songs I've ever heard, such an incredible song, I would HIGHLY recommend you take the time out to listen to it.

Hey thanks. Awesome, just awesome.
Have you heard Jeff Finlin? "...Dominated by themes of love and betrayal, death and rebirth, the characters in Finlin's sordid little tales are always leaving -- leaving bad relationships, leaving good relationships, even leaving this mortal vale. If songs like "The Perfect Mark of Cain" or "Waiting on a Flood" seem hopelessly dark, Finlin also imbues Original Fin with the light of faith and..." (snippet from emusic review) Perfect Mark of Cain blew me away when I first heard it a few days ago. Also, I like the group Murder By Death - someone may have already mentioned them. Some of Chris Knight's stuff is pretty dark, too.

i'm diggin jeff finlin, though some of his stuff is alittle too ambient to me

now chris knight on the other hand is a subject i'm well versed in,....for some years now his 'it aint easy bein me' has been a standard in the texas country circles
i've adopted 'framed' as one of my own personal anthems

youre right, chris can get alittle dark, but in a very beautiful poetic way, and thats why i love about him,...after all all you really need is love and a .45

Yeah, as much as I like to go and visit out West, I gotta maintain a certain loyalty to the East. While I might not always live on the East coast or even inside the country, the history that you can still physically touch is very powerful to me.

Pete, I'm currently listening the Elliot Brood album you sent me weeks ago. I'm just now gettin' the hang of all this music-sharing and downloading business. Really, thanks to you. Ambassador is an OK listen so far. I think it is because I can't really get into the vocals quite yet. I'm diggin' the instrumentation, just I have a hard time seeing how the vox and instruments complement each other. Next step for me is looking up the lyrics. Update soon. Thanks again.

Seriously, what are you talking about here, dude? Wrong thread?

I was just talking about what the music reminds me of and what I relate it to and how it makes me feel. You know, and stuff.

Looks like the thread died. I found many of the acts you guys recommended. Thanks for the heads up.
Cheers!

The thread never dies, it just has its up days and down days. I've worked very hard to keep it alive and as long as I continue finding new artists, it will stay alive.

333 good luck on the lyrics, there's not much in the way on the Net just because the CD booklets don't have them and Mark Sasso has an interesting singing style. I would highly recommend their follow up to "Ambassador" called "Mountain Meadows".
