"Creepy", not "pathetic"

humansuit, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 21:53 (sixteen years ago) link

Pathetic can be kinda creepy.

LOL. You're right. As can "boardering on pedophilic." I guess if you combine 'pathetic' with 'boardering on pedophilic,' you pretty much have 'creepy.' X

Michael Jackson: "Someone In The Dark"

y'all know what part I'm talking about.

I had never heard this until two days ago. Was listening on headphones. I can tell you it flipped me out nearly as much as the Daffy Duck moment on The Drift.

Jon Lewis, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:01 (sixteen years ago) link

some trembling blue stars song. i think it's on 'broken by whispers', and i think beth arzy provides them. love bobby, love arzy, but this song creeped me out the first time i heard it (late at night, in the dark, in headphones, but wide awake).

Deerhunter's Fluorescent Grey.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:22 (sixteen years ago) link

I always found Pulp's "I Spy" to be creepy, or at the very least unsettling.

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:24 (sixteen years ago) link

OMG, the song I'm currently listening to on repeat, humming to myself during quiet purposes, and generally adoring, namely 'Kreibabe' by Foetus, finishes with Thirlwell whispering "Hush little baby.........don't you cry...", after an excoriating, noisy, 12-minute baring of the soul. It is quite, quite show-stopping (which is presumably why it finishes the album).

*quiet moments, I have no idea why I said 'purposes' there.

Just got offed, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:27 (sixteen years ago) link

i always found that pulp song to just be badass.

andi, Tuesday, 22 May 2007 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link

that "hey pretty girl did you go to college, did you catch a BA with all that knowledge, i like your boobies in your shirt, please let me show you my penis" song. hilarity!

Someone did a mashup of that and Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" and it is about 100x creepier.

Current 93's "All the Pretty Little Horses" but the fact that it hasn't been mentioned yet makes me think it was implied or something.

I added but then deleted some black metal selections as soon as I realized they may be construed not as creepy but as ridiculous. So I'll merely allude to them.

peter yarrow - don't remind me now of time (think he may have had more than a passing familiarity with pearls before swine's translucent carriages on the basis of this)
