The Haus of Witches (?)
Lemme see, house music can also muck around with spooky themes and images, can’t it? Maybe even slowed-down the sound-mixing tempo as well to add a ‘dark’ tinge to the music? So what do we call it then? Occult Trip? Hell Disco? Heck no, let’s call it Witch Haus. That’s what the genre’s pioneer said wasn’t it? It don’t matter that the guy was just joking around. It’s a catchy pigeon-hole moniker. It’s a catchy marketing buzzword. It makes House music sounds ‘dark’...Now if only we have a whole blog dedicated to this shit....
The Eclectic Bizarre
Is there anyone who is not eclectic in his/her musical preferences? I suppose not many people are monolithic in their taste of music, but those who are eclectic beyond standard expectations are just as rare and bizarre. This blog is -in my view- a perfect example of how bizarre an eclectic taste of music can be. You have a somewhat bewildering mix of mainstream, classic Jazz all the way to neo-classical stuffs, hybrid Darkwave/Jazz/Free jazz stuffs, Black Metal and -hell yes- Grindcore. Anyway, the great informative description of the jazzier-side of things in this blog is quite a treat for a sore mind.
The Bygone Days Galore
The word ‘bygone’ might refer to nothing more than OSDM or first/second wave BM for those familiar with the underground extreme music scene. Others might also think of NWOBHM or FWOSHM. However, this time the word goes even farther back in time to the medieval dark ages. Well, maybe not that too far back but I’m still digging in this ‘archaic’ stuff so I could be wrong. Anyway, this blog is -as far as I know- the one and only that focuses on medieval music and the collection is absolutely fantastic.
