Giles Corey - Self-Titled Love it because of how well it depicts the themes of the album, of feeling ugly, alone, and isolated from the rest of the world.

For me, it's the opening lines of "Guilt is my Boyfriend" by Giles Corey. I don't think it's funny And I don't fool around If you're so fucking tired Why aren't you in the ground? I heard this song at a time in my life where I was always making jokes about being depressed and suicidal, and...

Deathconsciousness by Have a Nice Life is a masterpiece to me. It's a conceptual double-album about depression, nihilism, society, and man's relationship with God. It has some extremely experimental, yet strangely captivating instrumentation, as well as some of the most depressing, poetic, and...

This cover of "Shape of You." The original song is complete garbage and I never listen to it ever, but I like this cover because when I listen to it, I pretend she's singing about me and that used to make me feel better.

If you're interested in branching out in your musical tastes, I can recommend some weird and experimental music to you. You mention you like acoustic stuff, so I'd recommend the album Giles Corey, which is an album with only acoustic instruments. A little bit about the album: it's really weird...

If it is set during the American Civil War, or even after it, the language used really doesn't fit. If you look at poems from the Civil War time-period, you'll find nobody wrote in that ancient form of English, so the language of the poem really does betray what it tries to capture. And, if this...

I honestly couldn't tell you, as I haven't seen every episode yet. You'll just have to watch them yourself and form your own opinion.

Black Mirror is insanely good. Each episode is standalone story (usually lasting around 40 minutes) set in either the near-future or a slightly-altered version of the present, and each episode satirizes the way we live our modern lives (particularly when it comes to dealing with technology). The...

Mirai Nikki is pretty similar to Death Note in its premise (a teenage protagonist given an unusual supernatural tool in an otherwise ordinary world and the moral dilemmas, mind games, and fights for survival that ensue). I haven't watched Death Note though, so I couldn't tell you how the two...

Catch-22 by Joseph Heller is one of the few (if not the only) books I consider to be "important." It tells the story of a justifiably-paranoid man named Yossarian trying desperately to escape from the utter absurdity of a war he'd really rather not have anything to do with. It's funny...

David Bowie's Blackstar. It's an amazing concept album about death, released just two days before Bowie himself passed away. Every single song is enjoyable and explores the idea of dying in a different way. There's a lot of small touches and coincidences in the album too (such as Bowie inhaling...

@AsrielGoatChild Definitely a weird video (that made me feel strange to be watching, but still enjoyable in a really abstract sense), but the song itself isn't too strange, which likely comes from the fact that it's a parody of (I'm assuming) another popular song. I guess, me using the phrase...

@AsrielGoatChild Okay, thank you, that's definitely different from the others in that it's a bit more abrasive, although the song is still about love rather than another topic. But, I think I might've been expecting something less... I dunno, American-sounding?

All these songs sound way too similar for my tastes. That is to say, they aren't really varied in instrumental structure (which I could forgive since I'd really have to listen to a full album from them to judge the way the songs fit together), and they aren't varied at all in lyrical themes. Do...

Not really an anime (but pretty close in terms of Western animation), but I think Samurai Jack (particularly the last season) does this really well. In one episode, the main character gets really screwed up in a fight, and spends half of the next episode just trying to recover. There's a scene...

Daniel Day-Lewis is absolutely my all-time favorite actor.

There has been only one scenario I've seen where doing something like this actually works, which is in a game called Spec Ops: The Line.

Dwarf Fortress is the definition of !FUN!
