For absent friends. Well, one in particular. Needlessly.

I need cheering up and some hope for the future, so this track, to that end, goes out to the Immortal Q and his Apis Mellifera.

I only know one Elliott's song "Needle in the Hay" , but this one is good too.

I like both the song and the video (Julie London's ghost :D )

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

I am not enamored of redneck trash, in general, but the sentiments in this song and performance are deeply felt.

I think it's about a Shoggoth...but I could be wrong.

I endorse this:

It comes with a spiel as well.

"Circle’s 'Pharaoh Overlord' is bound to contest all speculations you ever heard of these savant ritualists. What’s clear is that 'Pharaoh Overlord' means the intrusion of the namesake of this album into Circle.

"It is a forest of fire. Their self-possessed purge from self-referentiality, oddly enough, intensifies the paradox-ridden spree with which Circle have ignited the very building blocks of the band itself into fiction that is ever leaking out into reality-infested horizons surrounding the voluptuous standstill of the vortex of music that is Circle’s 'Pharaoh Overlord'. Horns and vocal chants hover like a hail storm above the stabbed soil of murky beats. This is epic experimental rock that will condense any impulse or mundane logic into pure inevitability.

"On 'Pharaoh Overlord', Circle explore the smouldering terrain of their kindred spirits to find the means of transgressing the border of parallel existence with their idols (that is, Pharaoh Overlord) with the intent of merging into one abstract entity of sonic flesh. There is no sobriety like loss of identity."

A bit silly, but upon listening to the song repeatedly, I came to see the truth of the claims.

"This is epic experimental rock that will condense any impulse or mundane logic into pure inevitability" indeed.

I'm usually not a fan of trance, but Andy Stott uses the style as a backbone for some pretty interesting dark ambient-styled pieces. Lethargic, slow and brooding they have such a gritty and almost disturbing quality to them. Love it.

Ha ha, I just remembered the song "Innsmouth Jewelry" by Misty Roses. It's about a deep sea diver named Jeffrey who collects "queer jewelry" from the bottom of the sea. Beautiful song. And, yeah, heh.

I'm really embarrassed I like Staind, but I do.
