Music To Confuse Normie Coworkers With

I played Further Down The Spiral for a small room full of dutch bros-drinking, microbrewery-obsessed uppity younger millenials at the last place I worked and i dont remember it lasting too long. Dont know what I was thinking but it was definitely worth it while it lasted.

lol wait is that jimmy barnes?

yes lol

first I'd heard of him - no idea what his rep is in his home country but I consider this a great first impression

Today played Jandek and it went down a treat*! Looking forward to trying some more of these out. :D

My attitude towards music is starting to overtake my son's view of music. He irks when he hears something top 40 and country and feels a sense of "I know shit you don't" when he talks about music with his friends... He listens to that Bones character in my previous post. 

As far as work goes, when the topic of "What music do you listen to" came up when I first started, the only artist I shared was Boards of Canada. I listen to music at work mostly with headphones since my coworker plays country and top 40 music. He finds it really weird that I haven't any of the current pop tunes. I'm like "I'm over here man... I shut that shit out of my life!" 

I'm at the point that I don't speak about music to people unless they ask and I see that they are interested. If they interrupt me with "Oh like Dubstep?" I zone out.

haha, I guess he's considered a bit of a national treasure in australia, "if ya don't love barnesy get out"

cf. this track's intro and sample of a cold chisel track

^ actually relevant to the thread

but yeah he's known for his scream, which makes that kirin j callinan track even more hilarious, it's great that he's become self aware and can take the piss

Dad used to spin this all the time when I was really young. Weird but fun and accessible like ya boi

could you share the jazz, friend?

 

EDIT: Forgot you forgot the artist you forgot about

 

I got it. I'm 98,4% sure it's Charles Mingus' Moanin

this should make them hate you forever

^ A+ track that

^^ yeah winner

that track is the most pure hell to me, forgot about it

wanna buy the album but i'm afraid that my wife will stab me to death

Another thing that may make your wife stab you: Mark Fell's Shamanic Bear Session

Thanks for the bump! Plenty to choose from. Worker morale is rapidly dwindling, as my own rises. Their misery is my joy...

Seeing as it's Christmas season soon, any recommend Xmas releases? I would like someone or some group performing recognisable Xmas tunes but in an...unconventional way.

Nice! Also foreign language collections of christmas stuff would be great.
