Obsequious Robonaught

I bumped into Obs and he pointed out these two songs:

Dan Mangan - Road Regrets



Cinematic Orchestra feat. Patrick Watson - "To Build a Home"

(Text from the video) Astrophysicist Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was asked by a reader of TIME magazine, "What is the most astounding fact you can share with us about the Universe?" This is his answer.


Fields of the Nephilim

Imagine Snake Pliskin (from Escape from LA/Ney York) having read (and underlined) the stuff about angels in all the books left out the Bible, strange stuff from Sumeria co-mingled with H.P. Lovecraft's Old Gods.

Now picture all that taking the form of a rock band - with smoke, lights, trenchcoats, black hats - and you'll get moments something like those in the videos below, which are from Fields of the Nephilim's 2008 live shows in London - released in 2012.

Best band ever.

Fields of the Nephilim - Wail Of Sumer / And There Will Your Heart Be Also



Fields of the Nephilim - Psychonaut
