“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.

    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.
