All Them Witches is more hard/blues rock or metal, but these songs I would call dark country:

Reminds me of folk music but with a darker tone:

There's that folk feeling of telling a story.​

I love that one. "The Lake it is said, never gives up her dead, when the winds of November start blowing."

It's a different lake, but I think of that whenever November approaches. Even so, there are shipwrecks. That one only happened within a few years of that song, if you can believe it.

I believe Hares on a Mountain is an old Irish song. I like what they do with it. It sounds like something a fae might sing.

My great grandfather was part of the diaspora during the famine. So I've always had a fondness for irish folk music.

My great-grandmother left Ireland around a century ago IIRC. My grandmother was born here and spent part of her early life in an orphanage, because there simply wasn't enough money for my great-grandmother to take care of her. I highly suspect my grandmother was born out of wedlock, although I don't know more than that. Unfortunately, I never had a chance to know her, or my maternal grandfather.

I am sure if this is the Irish side or not, but my Mom's great aunt committed suicide by jumping off a skyscraper (what counted as one for the time, anyway) downtown.

I love the Orange and the Green.

This is two-thirds of the way to being Ghostbusters. I can understand the lawsuit:

That's the power of love.

This song needs a sequel called Middle-Age Dirtbag.

Had a hard time finding an uncensored version, by the way. Most annoying.

Quack!

The best part about Wheatus's Teenage Dirtbag, is its timeless. If you were a teenage dirtbag, you'll grow older, but not out of it.

One more for the day, and that's it, I promise.


As a kid I remember watching Batman Returns, and when it gets to Max Schreck's Costume Ball, there's this great exchange with Bruce and Selina. They are the only ones not wearing a costume, by the way. The music playing in the background for part of this scene, I used to think it was Can't Touch This, but in fact, it was this:

Which is much more relevant, if you think about it.

The scene:

That look is timeless​

The Dead South, Sons of Perdition, and Blues Seraceno are some of my favorites, Those Poor Bastards have a few songs I know of from Old Gods of Appalachia, but they're heavy into depresssion and bleak songs so I gotta keep my distance. Justin Cross is good too.

I like The Bible or the Gun, I Cannot Escape the Darkness, and Don't Drink the Water. Great stuff.

And its not a sin if it don't make me cry
He's not the devil less there’s fire in his eye
It ain’t a ghost if it don’t speak in tongue
It ain’t a victory till the battles been won

As a kid, this was my favorite song in the musical. I was confused and slightly upset that Gavroche didn't have a larger role in the story.

I've since seen this on the stage at least twice now, lol. It's clear now why we don't have Gavroche, despite Gavroche being awesome.

Worst wedding song ever.

This song and video are both great.

I can't listen to Nirvana anymore after this news about Dave Grohl. A rockstar, having a child out of wedlock? I've never heard of such a thing before. Disgraceful.

At least I can still listen to the Beatles, knowing that John Lennon was a man who treated his wives and children admirably.

When I was younger, I liked Nevermind better. Now I think I prefer In Utero. This might be the biggest reason why:

I see this song differently, too, now.
