First, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' "The Lyre of Orpheus" album is eating my brains in ways that are simultaneously awesome and devastating. Nick Cave fills me with glee and despair. Oh, baby, why you gotta be like this?
(granted, it's Nick Cave, and his music isn't really meant to be the soundtrack of a happy, fulfilled life)
Some tracks I enjoy:
O Children (obvsly) - Damn you, Harry Potter, for being awesome and using this song ;A;
Carry Me - THIS is my favorite track. This and "O Children" appear side-by-side. "Carry Me" is the resolution of the very loose Orphic myth that the album tells (the end of the Orpheus-Eurydice part) and "O Children" is the coda (where he dies years later).
The Lyre of Orpheus - Nick Cave's more literal and crude take on the Orpheus myth :D (it fills me with fuzzies and lols)
Also, here are some other songs that are amazing:
The Lost Song by The Cat Empire.
James Bond by Scouting for Girls (would it be evil of me to suggest that this song needs to be vidded??)
Five Step - a Radiohead/Dave Brubeck mash-up :DDD
And because it's always easy and fun to make fun of hipsters:
Charles Bronson Kills Hipsters - Charles Bronson is one thing that hipsters can't ruin!! (and when you least expect it - Jeff Goldblum)
Cultural Vampirism - is it ironic that I want to make this into an ironic t-shirt that hipsters will probably wear in order to be ironic until the irony becomes irrelevant in fifteen minutes?
