Whoever came up with the idea of having scenes from the girl-who-tortures-cats part of Satantango accompany Pärt's 'Salve Regina' is a genius.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

I saw the band, Luxury Stranger, in London this weekend gone. Given how that evening turned out this song may have proved prophetic.

[The audio on the second is better. I see what they mean about the Goth/Bowie cross thing, especially with the chorus]

Very crisp. Reminds me of Zoe Keating.

These days I often find myself wanting the same thing. . .

wore out teenager of the year and his self-titled back in the day

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

This reminds me of Arthur Bremer, the decidedly apolitical-almost assassin of George Wallace.

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

"Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt;
Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." –
"Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an!
Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" –

Dem Vater grauset's, er reitet geschwind,
Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind,
Erreicht den Hof mit Müh' und Not;
In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.

"I love thee, I'm charm'd by thy beauty, dear boy!
And if thou'rt unwilling, then force I'll employ."
"My father, my father, he seizes me fast,
For sorely the Erl-King has hurt me at last."

The father now gallops, with terror half wild,
He grasps in his arms the poor shuddering child;
He reaches his courtyard with toil and with dread, –
The child in his arms finds he motionless, dead.

Hoping sincerely all had a great Easter/Ostara

Indeed, this particular live version.

Such a long time now.

This album is so hilariously brilliant. The one thing I miss the most about 80's art culture is that is never took itself too seriously. This is like the modern day, aural representation of that for me.

Varg is an awful human being but damn could he make some great music. Manson too.

Just to piss ChildofOldLeech off:

Re: Your favourite song at the moment..

In an alternate universe, AC/DC is a punk band called The Sex Pistols. (Think about it.)

I live near a bell tower that tolls the hours in an oddly familiar tone and cadence. Many years ago, I used to walk past that tolling bell on my way to class. Now I only hear it if my windows are open and the wind is from the right direction. It never fails to start this song in my head:
