Creepy, crepuscular songs required along the lines of ‘Shadow of a Doubt’ And ‘Halloween’ by Sonic Youth....
“Long Lankin” by The Devil’s Interval
spine-tinglingly creepy
“White Noise” CD/LP on Island records.
Joy Zipper, “Alzheimers”
I haven’t heard those SY songs but in certain moods I simply can’t stomach Radiohead’s “Climbing Up The Walls”. Like, I have to turn it off completely.
Ned Raggett—Pi
Oh god, The Boiler by The Specials.
Shits me up every time. Not much like sonic youth, tho. Bah, never mind.
BOC—The Devil Is In The Details
Telephasic Workshop—Boards of Canada
Hello Skinny—Residents
Cherub—The Butthole Surfers
Dead Hills II—Wolf Eyes
The Anal Staircase—Coil
Spectre—Kronos Quartet
Tritone—Tuxedomoon
Hamburger Lady—Throbbing Gristle
Strawberry Fields Forever—The Beatles
Chihei-Sen—Slap Happy Humphrey
Skin Coat—Khanate
The Litanies of Satan—Diamanda Galas
Warm Leatherette—The Normal
hamburger lady above all.
coil—the sleeper
(this thread was on old ilx, right?)
hah, i saw this and immediately thought of hamburger lady and cherub.
also yes i think this was on old ilx
Nurse With Wound—Bearded Lady
“also yes i think this was on old ilx” This was old ilx a few times over a couple years. I remember because it was the first thread I got really psyched about.
hamburger lady above all.
Hamburger Lady neve did much for me, mostly because I couldn’t understand a single word, didn’t know about the creepy subject matter until I read it somewhere.
My choice is Fifty Foot Hose’s “Cauldron”, with its loop of a bad-tripping woman crying out in either anguish or ecstasy. (Can’t tell which...)
unintentional(?) sound collage, recorded on wax cylinder 75+ years ago
robert ashley—automatic writing
scott walker—the escape
tori amos = ’97 bonnie & clyde
“The Boiler” seconded, so scary.
also Zos Kia’s “Rape” and Jarboe’s “Walls Are Bleeding” are terrifying screamathons.
SPK—Leichenschrei (pick a track, any track)
Psychic TV—“In The Nursery”
How long before we recreate all of ILX on the sandbox?
“Creeps Like Me”, Lyle Lovett
“Silent Night”, as performed by Simon & Garfunkel
Waltzin’ Black—The Stranglers
Papa M: Last Caress (Misfits cover)
Faith No More: Jizzlobber
Aphex Twin: Milkman
a lot of Cabaret Voltaire for me....
neubauten—armenia
“fly away”—DJ Signify (for the child singing)
