Music thread

I just discovered a Pagan band that sang a song styled after a Baptist folk song for Paganism and I am all here for that.

Speaking of remembering that songs exist: I’m not really a fan of country, but I’ll be damned if Toby Keith isn’t spitting some bars.

With as much as its associated with Shrek, most people forget that the original music video for Smash Mouth’s All Star was for fucking Mystery Men.

@Zincy  
Before Shrek, the song also appeared in the North American version of the first Digimon movie

@Mellow Rhythm
 
Jesus, I forgot about that “movie”. Didn’t “Kids in America” appear in it too?
 
That thing was weird.

@Mellow Rhythm  
I swear, I will permanently associate “One Week” by the Barenaked Ladies with that movie.

@Zincy  
Yep! A cover version of the song originally by Kim Wilde (As usual, said original was better).
 
The movie was all over the place!  
Being a kid when I first saw the movie, I of course had to drag my father along to see it. Must have been extra confusing for him.  
And of course, looking back, the NA version of the movie was kind of a dud.
 
@DerpyFast  
Same

@Mellow Rhythm
 
Wasnt it just a mashup of various OVAs?
 
Yea, I remember seeing it in theaters. Complete with that opening that had the weird Nickolodian show with the black and white characters.

@Zincy  
Exactly. That’s why it was such a clusterfuck.  
I saw it in theaters and then actually owned a copy on VHS.
 
Ah yes, Angela Anaconda. An old shame of a cartoon show if ever there was one

@Mellow Rhythm
 
This is bringing back memories I had repressed.
 
I’m remembering scenes from that broken ass OVA.
 
“Back…to the BEGINNING!”

@Zincy  
“De… De…STROY!!”
 
Lots of large ham moments

@Mellow Rhythm
 
I need to find my old VHS, yes VHS, copy of that.

The middle part with Infermon kinda holds up in my opinion. Especially the Omnimon scene.

@DerpyFast
 
Honestly all three OVAs hold up, just not mashed together.

@Zincy  
The first two parts work well enough together. What’s interesting is that the third part wasn’t talked about anywhere before the movie came out. AFAIK it wasn’t in the trailer, and I remember getting a magazine that was all about Digimon. Even it only talked about the first two parts.
 
Now I’m wondering what the original version of the third part is like.

Checking out Rednex’s other songs besides Cotton Eye Joe, it ranges between “decent, but totally unfitting to the style of the band (Wish You Were Here, The Chase, The Spirit Of The Hawk, Football Is Our Religion)” to “really annoying, this shouldn’t exist at all (Old Pop In An Oak, Wild N’ Free, Rolling Home, The Way I Mate)”. There’s no inbetween.

@DerpyFast
 
Probably more coherent.
 
 
So I forgot the Digi Rap was a thing.
 
 
Dear fuck.

I have a question for you all (I wouldn’t be surprised if this has been asked here before, but it’s probably been a long time since I’ve never seen it asked). What is the darkest album you’ve listened to? By darkest, I mean the album with the darkest, most depressing or evil lyrics, or the most evil-sounding album.
 
From what I’ve listened to, it’s probably either Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator or anything by Univers Zero (though I haven’t listened to much outside prog rock or 70s-80s metal).

@Manerg
 
Body Count.

By ambience and it’s meaning, I must say definitely it’s that experimental album turned internet meme, Everywhere At The End Of Time by The Caretaker.
 
There’s no need for lyrics to describe it’s pure and unfiltered disturbance.

I bet your ass your psyche will not survive the horrifying agony, terror, and sorrow embedded within that 6.5 hour long music.

@Zincy  
I probably still have mine in storage

@DerpyFast  
The first two parts do Tai (_^huehue) together pretty well, but yeah, by the third “act” it gets a little muddied up. I have yet to see the original Japanese OVAs and see how they stand alone by themselves.  
No matter what though, the soundtrack to the NA version is impressive in how perfectly it represents early 2000s music. That stuff you just can’t shake from your head

@Manerg  
For being a British psychedelic album, I’d say SF Sorrow by the Pretty Things is at least one of the most depressing. When you get past all the trippy production of the time, the lyrics are bleak and utterly futile, and the ending to the story presented in the album is a classic downer.
 
@Count Adramélekh Sear  
Still avoiding that like the plague. Bringing awareness to dementia and suffering through life and old age is one thing, but seemingly doing it so effectively that it just continues the cycle on to listeners seems like overkill to me.

@Myoozik  
To this day, I haven’t heard any Rednex song other than Cotton Eye Joe. Guess I’ll give more of their stuff a try sometime and decide for myself. I mean, it’s not my style, but these things are worth a try at least once!
