Mom, Why Are My Ears Bleeding?

[Auroras In Ice]

Lana Del Rabies is up there among the best artist names ever.

[Trollheart]

You reminded me I need to listen to more Jason Isbell.
Just a point: some of your videos don't show up ("this video is not available") though that might be a country/region-specific thing? Anyway, it might be nice just to put the title and artist there so that we know, and if we want to, can go looking for alternatives. Just an idea.

Yup, that would definitely be a country/region thing and I'll write out the artist and song names from now on. That last batch was
Lana Del Rabies - Disgrace
Dis Fig - Dissent, Shame
Pigface - Taiko


And this one is Trollheart - Scream From The Forest 

[Auroras In Ice]

Peter Schilling - Major Tom

Apropos to nothing at all I swear... when country was more punk than current punk.

Woody Guthrie - All You Fascists Bound to Lose

Fun fact, again apropos to nothing at all, Guthrie once rented a NYC apartment from Fred Trump and hated the fucker so much for not renting to Black people that he wrote the song "Beach Haven Ain't My Home (Old Man Trump)" about him. Haven't been able to find any original recordings from Guthrie himself, but loads of of cover versions out there.

I must say, I prefer ice cream in the forest.

And that Peter Schilling song has been on the TV recently, reminded me how good it is. Not easy to "rip off" Bowie and still write a great song doing it!

Ice cream, you scream, we all scream in Trollheart's forest. Speaking of that song on the TV, remember the incredible cover of it by Shiny Toy Guns that was made for a Lincoln commercial? It loses a bit of its retro charm, but her vocals are fire.

Then there was the time that a Psychic TV track was used in a Volkswagon commercial. Wild that you have a project by Genesis P. Orridge (the person who started industrial music, and even gave the genre it's name) on commercials. Big bonus troll points that the track is about Roman Polanski, specifically Sharon Tate's tragic murder and then Roman escaping justice for being a piece of shit pedo lol Someone in marketing really didn't do their homework.

[Auroras In Ice]

Marnin'

Sow - K-Casino

[Auroras In Ice]

One of the more surreal things I've ever seen. No, it's not AI slop.

[Auroras In Ice]

More weird shit

Ministry and David Hasselhoff doing Sweet Caroline

Front Line Assembly and Tiffany doing New years Day

Tiffany... yes, the one from the 80s. One of the oddest possible combinations, but it actually works really well!

Pig and Sasha Grey doing You've Lost That Loving Feeling

Pig and Sasha Grey doing That's The Way I Like It

If you want people makin' fun of rednecks, ICP have made a very successful career doing just that.

"Chicken huntin'" ICP

And as for odd collabs, how about David Gilmour and The Orb?

"Metallic Spheres in Colour" - David Gilmour and The Orb

I remember when people used to dunk on ICP and juggalos, but a couple years ago I watched a documentary on them and it was actually pretty eye-opening. They gave a lot of, often rural, youth who were outcasts or oddballs for whatever reason something inclusive to be a part of. Still a bit leery about the cultish aspects of that fandom, but better than them becoming a bunch of fascists.

And as for odd collabs, how about David Gilmour and The Orb?

"Metallic Spheres in Colour" - David Gilmour and The Orb

Nice! Haven't heard this before and am enjoying it. Reminds me of the Spawn soundtrack from way back where there were some good electronica/other crossovers. May start compiling these odd collabs.

One for you today.

Very good (or as we say here, particularly today, go h-ana mhaith!). I've got quite a bit into the old Celtic Punk in the last few years. Think my favourite is the Dropkick Murphys:
