I recently went to see Alcest* (who I think I've linked here before) live, and their two support bands, Birds in Row** and Kaelan Mikla*** were pretty great too.

The animator for Soda Pop Funk video, 람다람, is actually doing the animating for a new song in DJ MAX Respect V!
Speaking of them, 람다람 also animated a video for a Jack Stauber song, Two Time:
More Jack Stauber goodness, Dead Weight:

Falkenbach - The Heathen Foray (Viking metal)

Dornenreich - Wolfpuls (folk-ish black metal)
Fejd - Jungfru i Hindhamn (folk metal without distorted guitars)
Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard - Valmasque (Doom metal)
Finntroll - Rivfader (Humppa metal/Folk metal)

Belphegor - The Goatchrist (Blackend Death metal...I think)
Shining - Besvikelsens Dystra Monotoni (Depressing black metal, with some jazzy doomy parts)

this one:
but it's not here ... it was a bonus track in the Japanese release of the album
Alcest x Perturbator. And it's as good as I anticipated.
The song is very atmospheric, "trippy". Great remix yet again by Perturbator.
I've yet to listen to this remix, but I love the song and the band (I think I mentioned and linked them here a few times already. I was at the concert in Ljubljana recently, they're amazing)
Instead of the usual, I feel like pop today but haven't kept up with modern stuff, here are some old things from my library instead.
(The only way I could find this song by Tamaki Nami was via Gundam Seed AMV lol)

I'm back from holidays and I've been in a nostalgic mood so here are my 2 favourite Australian bands that I grew up with in the late 90s/2000s.
Powderfinger (Rock, Alt-Rock)
Generally considered to be one of the greatest bands to come out of Australia and a solid contender for some of my favourite music of all time. They're very much my musical comfort food. Here is my favourite track from each one of their albums, in no particular order.
Bonus Track - One of my favourite live performances of all time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something for Kate (Alt-Rock, Post-Grunge)
Basically copy and paste what I said about Powderfinger. Paul Dempsey (the lead singer) is one of my favourite musicians and songwriters of all time as well as being an all round lovely bloke. Same deal, favourite song from each album, no order.
Bonus Track - SFK (and Paul Dempsey as an extension) are masters of the cover track, they've done a lot of them and pretty much all of them are great.

Well known synth artist. That song is particular is fantastic, listen from 3.00 minutes onwards.
First song I heard from them, it's beautiful.

I was for nostalgia listening to some bands that I grew up with and got sad, I used to have FLACs of all of them but I deleted all my music/FLACs at one point.
But yeah no wonder I'm so lefty.

Anyone know Tuareg blues?
African music in general is not so well-known in the Western world, but every now and then a recommendation reaches me. This artist, Mdou Moctar, from Niger, is really amazing:
