“Weird” to be interpreted at the reader’s discretion.

Looking for some cool new tunes.

I’ll get the ball rolling with one of mine: Scaretale by Nightwish. That song is all over the place… it’s like haunted fantasy carnival jingle metal. Love it.

    My taste in music is dictated entirely by whether or not I think a song is fun to sing. I keep everything in one eclectic super playlist. These are a few of the songs I’ll skip if I have normal people in my car, so they’re a bit weird or at least have an uncommon sound/vibe.

    • “Tagga” by Kluben
    • “Escargot” by Jarv
    • “The Cult of Dionysus” by The Orion Experience
    • “Savages” and “Charlie’s Inferno” by That Handsome Devil
    • “Oh Actually” by 1 Trait Danger
    • “2025” by Bohdi
    • “Why Do I?” by Chii
    • “You’re an Ace Kid” by DEMONDICE
    • “Wasted on the Senate Floor” by Emperor X
    • “Phantasm” by JACK THE STRIPPER
    • “Fall” by Swing Republic

    Random smattering of Eurovision picks, Who The Hell is Edgar by Teya and Salena (Austria) is a hilarious banger and commentary on Spotify profits to artists. Also, No Rules by Windows95man was pure brilliance.

    Power metal classics and a few covers of 80s hits.

    TV theme songs, but the full full 3-4 minute song.

    Weird Al’s Hamilton Polka is top tier.

    Plus some Disco era A and B sides, West African old school “palm wine music,” songs from a few musicals including the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode.

    You know, just, like, normal stuff.

    Dog Fashion Disco. I call it Circus-core. It’s too dark and offensive to be taken seriously by most people, but it’s got some got music behind it. And I once got to see them in a bar with a $10 cover. Fantastic show!

    Country Death Song by the Violent Femmes. It’s banjos and a proper upbeat hoe-down vibe alongside lyrics talking about crushing poverty and killing one of your children so you can afford to feed the others and ends with the narrator hanging themselves. It’s bleak as fuck and very not my normal jam, but somehow it grew on me and I love it.

    Bonus: Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult. Just a song about Godzilla smashing up Tokyo set to some pretty fun music.
