Nothing says it has to be music. In my case, it is, though: Renditions made from Polish MIDI files of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity and Tour de France, with instruments picked out by yrs truly.
I've just discovered, due to a forum post in another place where music is discussed as an off-topic subject, a Dutch musical ensemble of an unusual genre.
Symphonic Metal.
Epica.
The music is impressive, and the lead singer, Simone Simons, is clearly very talented.
Also, as for my own personal quest, a more direct search on Google finally yielded up a 1989 Finnish-language cover of "It's My Party", titled Oon Sun Autos.
Just discovered "Bon Iver" and can't stop listening to them! I even did a cover of their song "Re: Stacks" and put it on Youtube. You can check it out here, if you're interested:
Why thank you! :D I have quite an eclectic taste. I'm all over the place when it comes to music haha! Right now I'm listening to some Progressive House. It's unseasonably warm, so I think it fits nicely. It's such a sunny and bright genre.
Leave it to me to guess everything but what you were referring to! :D Haha! Yeah I'd heard of him on numerous occasions, but never sought him out. I finally got around to it!
Right now I'm listening to what very well could be one of my all time favorite songs. Dné - My Vitamins
Sometimes I listen to the radio or http://3voor12.vpro.nl/luisterpaal/ which is great.
But when I'm really at it, working in a flow, only Michael Nyman cuts it.
The Kiss, The Claim, Gattaca are a few of his albums I like a lot.
Most ppl know him from the music for the movie 'The Piano' and a few Greenaway movies.
Really?! Ambient Black Metal doesn't have that much of a following. Especially the weird stuff, like Brenoritvrezorkre. I've listened to that song maybe twice. It's kind of hard, since it's an hour long and all! :P But I love the bit with the blast beat. It's so relentless.
Anywho! Today it's quite beautiful out. It's supposed to thunderstorm later, but hey! I love thunderstorms. I haven't listened to Flica in awhile, so I put on some Nocturnal. It's so nice. I think of him and Uyama Hiroto as Summer musicians. Their music is so warm.
I'm not crazy about it, but I do love most Club oriented genres. I adore Progressive House, and enjoy Tech, Latin, and Tribal House as well. Then you have Electro and Techno and Trance and whatnot. It's all great.

Sounds great. Radioactivity - the only song I know of with lyrics in Morse code.

Also, Jarvis Cocker's Sunday Service if you are in the UK and can access BBC radio online.

I am going to go on a limb, and say the name of an artist, who's voice can soothe the soul and make certain hormones from males and females explode.
Barry White.

Nice, but very short haha. Reminds me a bit of Fennesz.
Great song! And yeah that's the one downside. Though I think I prefer short to excessively long songs.
It's cold and rainy right now, so I'm listening to Le Lendemain's Lois off of their album Fires.
It suits the weather nicely. Here, try on Petrichor for size.
24 Apr 2011 — 4:15am
Well it's warm and sunny over here, I'm currently listening to In the air, off Tim Hecker's new album.
Btw I think of the two songs you posted I prefer the long one.

Bon Iver is phenomenal if your into indy/folk music.
27 Apr 2011 — 8:32pm
Yeah I've heard a couple of his songs. I think I have more folk from The Tallest Man on Earth than anyone else. I love his music!
