I just discovered Jolin Tsai through Spotify's discover weekly playlist.

Two songs:
The Great Artist
Play

[Emma]

I'm a fan of Modest Mouse's King Rat. The video does get a little disturbing.

[Yoink]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
It makes me tear up every time I listen to it. Amazing.

Edit: The whole album is brilliant, but this song is over thirty minutes in so I figured it best to link it alone lest you get distracted before the best part.

[Jopax]

Russian metal? I guess? It's pretty fuckin' amazing tho

[Flying Dice]

More spacer filk.

More spacer filk.

For I am man at the hands of man; see us rocket for the sky!

That one's always reminded me of McCaffrey's The Ship That Sang.

Here's some more, Pushin' the Speed of Light.

And something related, but different.
The sun is also a warrior.
Knowledge can also destroy.
Nor can the kindest will,
Preserve you from the kill.
Not all of wisdom brings joy.

I discovered filk like 3 months ago and I am in love with pretty much every song I've heard in the genre.

[TD1]

I keep hoping to hear of a new one here, but so far I've heard all the ones posted.

Still, no harm in relistening

[Flying Dice]

How about The Chemical Worker's Song? It's not, strictly speaking, filk, but it's folk and close enough in spirit.

[TD1]

It's more in line with a shanty, I think, but it more than suits me at this moment. Thanks.

Ooh! Did you know that Leslie Fish is also a vehement anarchist? Her album "Firestorm: Songs of the Third World War" isn't all exactly filk, but it's still in that style and pretty great. For example:
Bring It Down
Black Powder and Alcohol
Hello! Remember Us?

[Flying Dice]

It ain't exactly hard to discern. I mean god damn, just listen to the lyrics of The Arizona Sword.

Oh my God Emperor, so there are actually other people who listen to this.

[Avis-Mergulus]

Speaking of Leslie Fish, has anybody ever heard The Engineer's Hymn anywhere? I've found the lyrics, but I can't find a record anywhere for some reason.
