I'm really happy that this thread gets attention again.  Averaging ten posts a month, I feel I did musicians wrong by starting a thread knowing I would rarely sign in.

Rediscovering Roy Harper.

"Me and the Devil" - Soap&Skin (Robert Johnson cover)

That was eerie, exactly when you posted it, I was contemplating wether the Cowboy Junkies were inspired by the Roy Harper song I posted above to name their album Whites Off Earth Now!!  and I had just listened to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRpdMrGtws0

Also you reminded me that I wanted to track down some music of Anja Plaschg that I heard  on the radio (I think it was her on a piano and a cello),  but so far no luck.

My favorite song of her was written for her dad, who just died.

Another artist who covered Me And The Devil is Adia Victoria, I was blown away by her "performance" (not so much the singing) of her song Howling Shame.

Her vocals impressed me much more on the studio version of her song Horrible Weather, which made me start a "trip-hop" playlist

Next is Martina Topley Bird Stevie's from Quixotic (produced by Tricky)

Followed by Angel Olsen New Love Cassette for the strings (also I can't listen to more than five songs without one of them featuring Angel Olsen).

The Inspiration for Tricky Siouxsie And The Banshees Tattoo

The last I have is Tricky Ponderosa with Martina on vocals

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njDLlDEN3j4

Please help me continue, maybe Fiona Apple Newspaper

"Tattoo" really sounds like trip hop 10 years earlier. I can hear Tricky and Massive Attack in there. Post-punk really started so many genres.

I thought while listening Soap&Skin that she reminds me of Nico... before I learned that Anja Plaschg has covered Nico's songs and played her on stage.

Janitor of Lunacy, 

Same song but live:

Tananore cover - live in Rome with John Cale:

I finished my playlist, though it took quite some turns.

Picking up from Fionas outrage ait the end of Newspaper:

Cocorosie - GO AWAY!

, to metaphysical passion by

Jamie Saft - Vesamcheynu Dub

, circling back a little

Holger Czukay (ft. U-She) - Secret

, a piece like for the sound that reminds me of a reed-flute like a Kaval or Ney

Hope Sandoval + Massive Attack + Burial - Four Walls,

Holger Czukay + Jah Wobble + Jaki Liebezeit - Mystery R.P.S.(No. 8)

, ending with some punk meeting funky Hip-Hop

The Slits after Neneh Cherry joined Ari Up on vocals - In the Beginning there was Rythm (Peel Session 1981)

More of a listening question than anything else, but I don't want to start a whole thread for it. I've been bingeing Brooklyn-99, and that led me back down the Lonely Island rabbit hole for the first time in a decade. I was listening to their single 'Jizz in My Pants' (lyrics NSFW)

And I was reminded that, while the whole song is a fun, catchy parody of synthwave/electro-pop; the bit from 2:00-2:15 goes a bit beyond that. The lyrics in those 15 seconds is as goofy as the rest of the song, but it is so incredibly fast-paced and catchy. I've been looking for more 'real' songs that have that kind of sound, but I've been out of luck; nothing I've found has that combo of a tempo that fast, so completely ignores the concept of bass, and has lyrics. For instance, I've listened to a decent amount of Daft Punk, and while their songs are better overall, I haven't heard any that have quite that sound. Anyone have any recs?
