I like songs. This week, I have been mostly listening to Cloudbusting by Kate Bush, as far as songs go. Not as far as albums, musical preference, artists, or what Frank, the official BETEO/BEEX whelk prefers. Just as one song that I have been listening to lots and lots lately, and loving more than ever, and really just had to make mention of. Look, here's a Youtube video of it and everything - it's the (lesser) single version alas, but that should just make you go out and buy "Hounds of Love" if you don't already have it.
Drawn & Quartered - Orgiastic Feast of Excremental Blasphemy
Did I just hijack this thread and turn it into a common-or-garden YouTube one? I think I just hijacked this thread and turned it into a common-or-garden YouTube one.
Is that an individual song that you have recently been listening to lots and enjoying? If so, you're safe. If not, I'm literally going to close this board and murder your cat.
I can see Mimi's video fine on this page For those who don't know, do it a bit like this (you'll need to do some cutting and pasting here, so ask a parent if there's one around):
White Room by Cream. It is not a song that ages or tires. Every single time you hear it, you will rock your head and move to the beat, and want to walk triumphantly in slow motion past the camera, having overcome all obstacles and vanquished your nemesis. Every time.
We Only Come Out At Night by Smashing Pumpkins. I don't like a lot of their stuff, but the lyrics to this (aside from the chorus, which I think is the least effective part of the song) make me go "yes! That!" in a really pretentious and vain way.
Everyone! Set off 'Where the Slime Live' and 'Sesame's Treet' at the same time! It's awesome!
That actually does mostly work, too! Set off Sesame's Treet then scroll back up and set off Where The Slime Live - and then watch that. Spookily seamless in parts. Well done Mr. Grimm!
I'm loving how every thread about music on here is getting hijacked by the forum moshers HAHA, good work men.
But, I will post my favourite dance track of all time, Papua New Guinea by FSOL, which I listen too in some way shape or form often so it counts in this thread. This track almost makes me cry each and every time I hear it, it is just so utterly beautiful.
Sums up everything wonderful about everything related to music ever.
My favourite Kate Bush song, and my favourite Kate Bush video. For a long time Hounds of Love was my favourite album, and it may still be quite frankly. As CUS said, if you don't own a copy then you really should get it, because it's utterly amazing. My second fave track on that album Is Dream of Sheep, incidently - which I have the most awesome video for INSIDE MY HEAD.
If you don't thrill to "Well here I go!" at 0:40 when the violins kick in, then there's something wrong with you. And I wish everybody could dress like in a Kate Bush video in hats and trenchcoats and cardigans and stuff. *sigh*
And how impossibly handsome is that man? And how ultra-impossibly lush is Kate Bush? Most impossibly, say I. Mmm.
I've been loving Gonzales' new album. Kinda lounge funk or something. I dunno. But I like it.
That is completely awesome. I haven't heard his stuff before, but if the rest of the album is as good as that then it's a purchase! Had fun watching the Gonzales Segway fun as well.
@nervouspete, I was rewatching the video to Running Up That Hill yesterday. In my opinion it's both the most frank and the sexiest song ever to get in the top 3 (or to 'do well' at all). "Let's exchange the experience", indeed! I wish Kate Mmm, that's nice, yeah...
And now for a quadruple feature presentation before I go to bed (sorry, but this was after whittling down, I'll try to be less video posty in future):
Johnny Cash - Hurt: Best music video ever? Best cover ever? You decide.
Grandaddy - Nature Anthem: The cutest music video ever? Definitely. Aw.
Black Box Recorder - Facts of Life: A less wholesome, but more awesome song.
Aqua - Cartoon Heroes: Used to have this on Evolution Radio, the City of Heroes/Villains Radio Channel. Doing heroic good whilst jumping entire city blocks to this song was one of the more ace experiences of the MMO. The Flaming Lips NEED to cover this song.
Ahhh, Kate Bush. If I met her on the street I'd ask her to marry me. And I'm only 25. She's delicious.
I'm a borderline idiot because as much as I liked Arcade Fire when they came out first I find 'teh drama' a bit much at this point so they start to grate after a while.
Any Animal Collective fans? I found their first few albums a bit hard to swallow but Strawberry Jam hooked me in a big way. New album coming out in a few weeks apparently. Great video this.
Little bit more rap as well. Sumptuous second verse from RA The Rugged Man. Considered by many (myself included) to be the best rap ever written. All about his fathers experience in Vietnam. True story. The agent orange caused his siblings all sorts of issues. One died. Rest suffered all sorts of mental health problems.

Glad you like it. But his stuff varies imensily between albums so be careful to pick up "Soft Power."
The only other album of his I have is Presidential Suite - which is very different, for example:
