OK, it's been too long since I was in here again, so another long post:
Catching up on tracks from this thread with some lovely IPA's.
Dact, thanks for the intros. Honey Dijon reminds me of that unmistakable 90's New Age style, like Deep Forest, Enigma, etc, 2000-era dot com nerds all the way! 
No problem, glad you enjoyed! And thanks for posting the Deep Forest, that's good stuff! And Enigma, of course!
The Pulp Fiction soundtrack is fantastic. I have enjoyed the soundtracks of all of Tarantino's films. Since you posted surf rock, here's a different version of a surf rock track that appeared prominently in Pulp Fiction:
Dick Dale and Gary Hoey - Miserlou '97
The funkiest track of Pet Shop Boys since now. They're getting old but still clubbin'.
Haha long reign the dynasty!
Let me share the track that introduced me to them:
Thanks for posting Pet Shop Boys. The only track I had heard by them before was this one:
Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
So everyone has likely heard that, but maybe not this song that it obviously inspired:
Flight of the Conchords - Inner City Pressure
Of course, that one borrows its title from this awesome track:
Goldie - Inner City Life
From my playlist today:
Angelo Badalamenti is great. Here's another, from the Lost Highway soundtrack, a movie that was also directed by David Lynch:
Angelo Badalamenti - Insensatez (I prefer Dub Driving, but it's a chill and relatively uneventful track so I posted this one instead)
I never played this game but the song got stuck in my head. Not because it's any good. It just did.
That's got a really nice, chill backing track. Not bad at all!
R.I.P. Manu.
Very loose. Good stuff!
Frighter, cool track. I hear echoes of it in some of Sting's stuff, i.e. the outro session here from 4 minutes onwards:
I like Sting (and the Police), but hadn't heard this track before. Not bad at all. Kind of a weird Western thing going on. And I can see the connection between the outro here and the Manu Dibango track. Thanks for posting!
- (Frank Zappa)
I love a lot of Zappa's stuff. This one's hilarious, and the guitar work is incredible. Here's one of my favorite Zappa songs covered on the G3 live album (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Eric Johnson), my first exposure to the song:
G3 - My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama
- (Alica Cooper)
Good track. I'd love to hear an instrumental version. I mean, it's fine with vocals, but I think an instrumental would be awesome (and half of it is instrumental already anyways).
- (David Bowie)
Bowie is always good. This one is not one that I usually listen to, but I do like it. May have to add it into rotation.
And since I posted a track from Lost Highway earlier, I'll just post Bowie's song from the same soundtrack. In fact, it's from the intro to the movie, just like that Dick Dale track above from Pulp Fiction. This is one of my all-time favorite Bowie tracks:
David Bowie - I'm Deranged
I guess this is the kind of stuff nobody else around here likes lol, but I can't stop listening to the new Ulcerate single. sO GOOD.
Heavy and slow. Nice stuff. Not as into this kind of stuff as I used to be, and never really got into metal with this kind of vocal, but the music is very good. As far as stuff I'm into, it kind of reminds me of a combination of these two tracks, but slower, and less prog / more doom:
Mastodon - Crystal Skull (the entire Blood Mountain album is amazing)
Meshuggah - Shed (Gotta love a song hat starts with a 19 second scream)
If you haven't seen it, you need to watch the music video (the guys who made it went on to direct the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie):
Through power of association it also made me think of this:
That video is awesome, always enjoyed it. Blur is great, and this is one of their best. They've got so many, like Girls and Boys, Song 2, There's No Other Way, Crazy Beat, etc. Here's a Blur track I enjoy, that leads into Damon Albarn's work with Gorillaz (though it came out after Gorillaz first album):
Blur - Jets
There's a bit of horn here that reminds me a bit of the manic horn at the end of Angelo Badalamenti's Red Bats with Teeth from Lost Highway.
And thanks for posting that Belle and Sebastian song. Nice and mellow. I can see how the you got here from Coffee and TV.
I should probably post this in what grinds my gears, but as it relates to something you just mentioned and it being somewhat relative i will mention it here.
Like so many other folks, ive been a huge music fan all my life and one thing throughout that time that has bugged me is the lack of any significant recognition to the drummer.
To me the drummer is as important as any other element in a band if not more so, they are the conductors in a conductorless group, they are the rhythm makers, the time keepers, they endure the most physical work, they are pushed to the background in more ways then one, yet through modern music history their names, skills and achievements are so often last to be recognized and respected.
Respect and thanks going out to all the forgotten rhythm gurus out there in time and space
You are absolutely right. Drummers do not get their due. So, here are some prime tracks from bands with tremendously good drummers:
Rush - YYZ (RIP Neil Peart)
Tool - Rosetta Stoned (Danny Carey, in my opinion he is the best living drummer. Maybe this will be something heavy for Laura Hunt and something funny for Slasher)
The Mars Volta - Son Et Lumiere / Inertiatic ESP (Jon Theodore)
Those are probably my top 3 drummers. Of course, prog drumming always seems impressive because of the interesting time signatures, but these guys are still the top of their craft.
A few other notable drum songs:
The Smashing Pumpkins - Geek U.S.A. (Jimmy Chamberlin)
Soundgarden - Spoonman (Matt Cameron
Pearl Jam - In My Tree (Jack Irons)
And you gotta love Dave Grohl. He manages to be the highlight of everything he plays on.
Nirvana - Drain You
Foo Fighters - I'll Stick Around (chose this one over Everlong, which is a much better song with its own incredible drums, but the first album doesn't get enough credit)
Queens of the Stone Age - A Song for the Dead
Just a few off the top of my head. I guess you can see where my expertise is. So here's one last track from something other than a rock band:
The Roots - You Got Me (ft. Erykah Badu) (?uestlove, particularly at the end of the song)
But anyways, what was I listening to before all of this?
Ultraísta - Harmony
Hard to evaluate drums nowadays because most music has drum programming and layers and so on and so forth, but the drums here are great and remind me of Radiohead:
Radiohead - Reckoner
Sorry for going on for so long again!
