Some of their albums give this very "kurja" and "ankea" (miserable?) soundscape and even some songs have banjo in it which I find very funny.
I will check them out! I use to think banjo was a ridiculous sounding instrument, but over the years I've come to love it, especially when used unconventionally in a more somber way.

I'm listening Gustav Holst's Planets suite and right now is going the hymn of Saturday. I listen these pieces quite often on specific days.

This is a song about weeping, but for me it is so mellow that it makes me smile rather than cry.

I forgot to say that R.I.P. Blixa Bargeld!

I haven't really listened to these misheard lyrics videos for years - my then favourite was a Nile song - but I just found out that they've made one from O Fortuna. This is an instant classic!

And instant classic, indeed! I laughed out loud for real.

At least my friend told me as a fact that he died. Stangely enough, I haven't checked it ever but go do that right now.

EDIT: So my friend had wrong information! Damn, sorry.

Speaking of Blixa, have you guys seen EN documented by Shogo Ishii? It's bliss.
