It is, and it's fucking awesome/hilarious.

Me and my friend watched his videos, and we literally laughed so much we were in tears.

I can understand the inflation fetish in general, but I don't know how you couldn't burst out in laughter at the fact that you're in a latex Superman suit that's being filled with air, let alone be turned on by it.

Anyway, you should listen to the album "No Kill No Beep Beep" by Q And Not U.

[I]Devils in My Details[/I] by ohGr

DIMD is a very dark and claustrophobic album. It has extremely dynamic - almost schizophrenic vocals; it almost feels like there are. Throughout the album there are spoken word rants by [B]Bill Moseley[/B]! The whole album blends together like it is one song so I strongly recommend that if you do pick it up, you listen to it from start to finish.

I have never heard anything like this. If you are looking for a good album to listen with head phones on a dark and stormy night, check this out!

Tycho - Dive. Relaxing ambient music. It's perfect to take a break from exciting electronic music and wind down. It's not boring and drawn out ambient either. The drums and bass line add interest and momentum. If you like post-metal, electronic/ambient/IDM, or Boards Of Canada you will like this.

A sample would be nice.

Best Eno album in my opinion. Everyone should give it a try.
Text is abit unclear. Album is Before and after science. Best songs in it(my opinion) is Spider and I, By this River.

Ólöf Arnalds - Innundir Skinni

Imagine a Icelandic Joanna Newsom and you have this album, lovely vocals, and Björk does some guest vocals on the track Surrender.

(hahaha what a shitty cover)

sega death - 16 bits from hell

basically chiptune noise, with a couple of melodic surprises (ghoul sounds and life in a bedroom stand out)

the interesting thing is none of it is really composed, they do some weird cartridge-switching fuckery on a genesis and end up with really cool shit.

i've heard someone call it a deconstruction of chiptune which is sort of accurate, some of the song titles suggest a less-than-idealized view of a late-80s isolated game-playing adolescence.

steer clear if you don't like noise

Great mixtape, better than Asher's debut album.

Listen to 'Muddy Swim Trunks' and 'Toni Braxton'

This is recommend an album, not a cook book... gosh.

[I]Crazy Clown Time[/I] by David Lynch

David Lynch shows his weirdness through music.

[AK'z]

David Lynch made music?

Must hear that, but I doubt it's crazier than Eraserhead.

More like Inland Empire(?). It kinda does it's own thing.

[b]Planning for Burial - Leaving[/b]
Genre: Drone, Shoegaze, Post-Rock, Enemies List-core

This is a new favorite of mine to throw on when I'm feeling particularly
down and out. It's the epitome of numb sounding drone mixed with regret,
self resent and loathing made into music. It gets pretty loud at times, but it's
the type of loud that doesn't change alter the mood, it's loudly depressing, to put
it in words. While this may sound strange, it's very accessible and easily enjoyable.

The two songs that go over 10 minutes (Leaving and Verse/Chorus/Verse) are,
truthfully, unnecessarily long and are kind of hard to listen to as they barely
progress as opposed to the songs in the rest of the album. The other seven
tracks are great songs full of emotion and surprising catchyness. There's a bit
at the end of one of the songs that is very similar to Radiohead's "Fitter Happier"
with a computer exclaiming how he graduated from the same school as the woman
who he, unknowingly to her, loved and in the past forty years he has not had a day
where he has not thought of her and felt regret.

It's a great album full of numbness and is perfect for the moody types out there.
The last two songs do go on a bit long, but there's a really really fantastic album
before those two tracks.

Math Rock/Emo/Indie

Don't let the Emo tag fool you. It's not like Blink 182 or anything, on top of that there's not even a hit of the slightest distortion in any guitar here. Why am I recommending this? It's phenomenal. This is a true example of favouring good song writing instead of sugar coating it with effects and making the small effort seem bigger by injecting it with filler.

The opening track:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV0LJ0Dnl7A[/media]
A sweet instrumental:
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nAHxDVl9Uo[/media]

Again I'll put emphasis on good songwriting. It's a lot harder to find nowadays compared to back then, but these guys take the cake. These songs are just drums, minimalist bass and layered guitars with occasional vocals and it's impressive how well the sound turns out with such small elements. It's certainly an album you must listen to before you die. One listen and you'll be hooked.

9/10

[B]The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die - Formlessness (2010)[/B]
A beautiful post-rock/emo EP in the vein of American Football + electronic elements. The raw production, the lyrics, and vocals really hit home. The EP is very short, but it flows beautifully at just under 14 minutes. You can get it for free [url=http://theworldis.bandcamp.com/album/formlessness]on their bandcamp[/url]. It says its $1, just click the mediafire link that they so kindly posted.

Awesome compilation of exclusive tracks from loads of cool people, compiled and mixed by Aeroplane. One of my favourite albums of the year, definitely worth a listen.

Here's Aeroplane's track from the compilation.
