Necromancer

I like this comment I read by a viewer and fan of this single on youtube.

quote: This hidden gem always rests in the back of my mind. A piece of the soundtrack of my life. Days of youth and unfettered happiness. The youngest of four watching the world unfold before him. Parents still young and hip, unmarked by time unvisited by tragedy. Guiding and gliding us along the road of life. The table always set for fun. Sounds of Miles, Monk and Ella float in the air, Sunday mornings stretched out forever in the light of the sun. The wind was our love..

1967


This particular single just "grew on me" after hearing it a couple of times. You can actually hear the cutting into and out of tracks in the original recording itself, witch makes it even more unique in its own way.

blankety blank

blankety blank

Shoot from the back,
take good aim,
Make sure I'm dead
Bang Bang

'Cause I'm a rat
there's no mistake
Under the bed
where you sleep

Crush the skull
make me tame
Sweep it up
Hide it away

No morals shown
in no way explained
Stupid human
sh*t for brains

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

Get some sleep
or lie in wait
Until the day
I run away

Forget the corpse
present the case
to bring me down
and lose your words

I'll follow you
into the grave
and at the gates
I see the passing say,

"The judge be judged,
and all the rich be saved."
I throw my curse
all across your days

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

Throw your judgments
across the breeze
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

You live inside
your Jesus dream
Bag and burn
Bang Bang

And draw tiny pictures
'round all the days

Throw your judgments
across the breeze

Watch them float off
to never be saved

You live inside
your Jesus dream

Matt Stevens- "Big Sky" from his album "Ghost."

Stevens is the new king of looping guitar techniques. He is a one man show, but he sounds like a full on band, and he can create everything live. Here is "Big Sky." Listen at the 4:45 mark, where everything is sampled on top of each other all at once. Quite amazing...

There is a band called Sunlight Ascending. Not many people know them but discovered them on Youtube. I really like them a lot. My favorite song by them is Diorama Drama, it has 854 views on Youtube.

Thanks, Janszoon.

Whoa! That *was* a great video by Francobollo for his song, "I found a bike today." That guy sure is passionate about bicycles! I will never look at a bicycle pump the same way again. The video was choreographed to fit the music very well and made the song, well, unforgettable. Ha ha ha! I still laugh, thinking of it.

Those were all very interesting songs. Thanks for adding them, shadowtear.

Martin Grech's "Guiltless" was my favorite. Disturbing. I like. My second favorite was I, Parasite's "Spoke" with its eerie, hypnotic sound and only 732 YouTube views! All of your song choices had wonderfully quirky elements.

Here, SillySocks, I posted the video of this instrumental song to make it possible for people to listen with just one click:

I was sent this by a friend several years ago, and fell in love. I have no idea how known they are...because I've never met a single person HERE who's heard of them, but I'm sure someone has to know of them.

The concept "non-famous" is relative (as everything in this World). Do you mean non-famous spatially or non-famous chronologically? You know, some artists were famous once, but nobody remembers them now....

Sorry, I was just kidding. I don't know what "degree of fame" the following have, but I think they are not very well known. Luka Bloom: Ciara. Nightnoise:A Different Shore (instrumental).



Apart from that, I'd like to "rescue" some samples from the unknown mine of Spanish musicians singing in English:

Los Iberos: Summertime Girl (1968). L.A.: Hands (2009).

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions.

Zaqarbal, in answer to your good question about what I mean by non-famous, when I created the thread I was intending for "non-famous" to mean *never* famous (chronologically or spatially).

I was hoping this thread would be a kind of "The World's Got Talent" thread, where really unknown artists get "discovered."

By "unknown," I mean someone or some band who are, oh, making music in their basement, posting some songs on YouTube, and receiving fewer than 1000 views, until YOU listen and you think, "WOW! This guy's great!!! Why aren't more people listening to him?"

The second Red Feathers video, for example, has over 300,000 hits! Lourdes Hernández is famous in my book. Of course, maybe it just means one person (you? ) is listening to her song 300,000 times! Then she wouldn't be famous, just really really popular with that one person. Let me check Wikipedia, though. Yep, there is an entry for Russian Red. I learned she is sometimes called the "Spanish Feist." It's nice to learn of her music, though, because I'd never heard of her before.

P.S. This (below) was a disturbing (and enticingly original!) video, Zaqarbal. I didn't know whether to laugh or cringe. It's like the embodiment of Satre's quote, "Hell is other people."

L.A. - "Hands"
