The Turntable

There is entirely too much video game music in here. I shall counter this with 80s German goth.

This is the best I can do as far as Goth is concerned. please don't snub me

Who doesn't enjoy a bit of Fat Bob?

Non-goths?

Although, I am wondering why that song has such a crappy video. And Close To Me, that one was even more inexplicable.

Just because a buncha Goths riding around LA in the Monkeemobile is hilarious:

Anyone mind a Ratt being loose in this thread?

My wife's best female friend was a major RATT fan back in the day.

I think they're on to something, since freeways are gray and depressing, after all.

We talking freeways and gothic? Well...

Sheesh, I was afraid that once again a music thread was gonna be nothing but VGM for a gazillion pages! Oh, Tropes

Unfortunately I can't seem to embed whilst on my iPod, otherwise I'd unleash all sorts of 70s soul-pop awesomeness.

I have resolved to become to electronica and heavy metal what hipsters are to indie rock.

I'm scared, Charlatan.

And yes, Landy — I felt that same fear myself :) Hopefully a quick injection of all-female German goths helped, even if it's not your thing.

If it makes you feel better, Morv, I aim to achieve the same breadth of musical knowledge as them, not their level of crabbiness.

Ah — that does make me feel better. I thought you were going to go all obscurer-than-thou about it.

Well, that, to some extent, but I plan not to be obnoxious about it.

Here, have some OH JESUS CHRIST WHAT.

And for that, Morven, you are greatly appreciated.

Speaking of which, would it be out of line to make a thread for people who aren't into video games or anime? Like not to bash them, but just so others know that there are others who are just as confused when people randomly reference some character from Persona Effect Bio Portal. Or maybe that would be better for covens or something?

It could work in covens, but it might get a better audience here. Not sure.

That's practically the whole point, Landy. At least, if you want to get into them. -shrug-

@Charlatan: I have to listen to that just to have listened to it. Like it, probably not, but I have to hear.

Anyone for some Happy Hardcore?

So are we just posting our favorite songs now?

Sure, why not.

Though I don't think that should be all this thread is for. Discussion is encouraged. Questions are encouraged. Intelligent appreciation of music is encouraged.

I'm still wondering what it will take to get the clash between consumers and producers about copyright to lower from frothing rage to dull roar.

Did you get to listen to the OH GOD WHAT metal yet, Morven?
