Van der Graaf Generator - White Hammer
7/10

Blue Öyster Cult - Unknown Tongue
9/10

Exuma - Mama Loi, Papa Loi
gotta love how this playlist has slowly built up the fevered intensity so far. i wonder how they'll top exuma! 10/10

My Chemical Romance: Early Sunsets Over Monroeville
oh.

great, it's the worst band ever. fucking ar--but wait, this is actually great? i don't even give a fuck if it's not on theme, stop being mean to arg all the time. as this song proves, he's a sensitive soul who just needs a companion that'll love him and stand by him and fart on his disgusting asian tongue. 8/10

Goretex Elohim - Inverted Churches
does exactly what you'd want from a hip hop tune on this mixtape. 8/10

Coven - Black Sabbath
i agree with CiG about the jefferson airplane comparison with the caveat that i don't like jefferson airplane or that '60s psych sound in general. lightweight shit innit. the bass makes this pretty cool though. 7/10

Deep Purple - Listen, Learn, Read On
7/10

John Zorn - Necronomicon: I. Conjurations
i'm really more of a pre-modern classical kinda guy but it suits the theme nicely enough. 6/10

The Mars Volta - Goliath
soundscapes this dense and tightly played are satisfying on some fundamental level, but ultimately i need more conflict and tension here. 6/10

Cliff Richard - Devil Woman
definitely a paedophile. 5/10

[CiG]

So many people hated my choice.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

It's 'cause it's that hippity-hop music. You know, they calls it hippity-hop, but it don't make me wanna go "hippity-hop!"

 

[CiG]

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Jesus, I win again? I was keeping an approximate mental count and I expected to lose to HBB.

Anyway, the next theme is AIR AND SPACE TRAVEL. Songs should explicitly be about air/spaceflight enabled by human engineering, so no songs about birds or "flying on the wings of love" or some shit like that.

 

[CiG]

Dear God please no "Rocket Man" either.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

Please don't shoot me into outer space.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Great theme. This playlist had better be stellar.

you people are fucking determined to stop me submitting neutral milk hotel aren't you

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

The theme is being quite elusive to I.

 

[H.P. Lovecraft]

That's a more than worthy cause.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I'm in.
