What are you listening to?

The Asylum Kids were a punk/ rock band from South Africa which existed from 1980-1983.

 

Ooo nice. Got Imagine Dragons again.

 

I've got some more Asylum Kids (from Joburg, or Johannesburg, if you like). While I admittedly don't like every song on their LP, I do like a lot of them. I think they were quite an exceptional band.





This one's from their 12" Ep 'Solid Principles' from 1982

 

Ooo nice. I got a Sound Adventures cover today.

 

Cool. It's like being whisked away to magical lands

I've got another one from Otyken (but) it's a hardpsy remix. brilliant.


And then I found this

 

Ooo nice. Yeah, Sound Adventures is good at that. Got another one from Wolfwalkers, but from an Irish band called Kila.

 

Here Is A Nice Solo Offering By Wendy.

 

Hey, thanks mate! I hadn't heard that solo stuff before, well except for that 'maggots' record. But this stuff's more like hard rock but I like it! Anything with her on vocals sounds good.

Sick Of It All: I've still got a tape with them somewhere that a mate copied for me. I remember listening to it a lot while driving around for work! (the other side of the tape had Biohazard on it, I remember that, lol).
The Oppressed song is really nice.

 

Nice song. So I finally watched Wolfwalkers. "Delightful" I think was the word you used to describe it. Yeah, I can definitely concur. Lovely story and beautiful hand drawn artwork. At least it looks hand drawn. It really is a work of art though.

 

Yeah, Cartoon Saloon hand drew most of the scenes, except the wolf vision stuff, as that was done with some 3D imaging.

 

I've got some more from Otyken.
I found out a bit about the meaning of the name - apparently Otyken is a word for a sacred land where warriors would lay down their arms and talk.

This is another collaboration/ remix with some awesome throat singing.


This one's just mesmerizing. You should be able to turn on the subtitles if they're not on by
default. It's amazing when you consider that all these songs are really ancient. Okay, they've been somewhat modernized but in essence they are old Siberian folk songs.

 

Oooo nice stuff. Got one of Of Monsters and Men's songs.

 

Here's another The Oppressed song I really dig. First heard it on the 'Oi! Oi! That's yer lot' comp.


And here's something a bit more chill. I've listened to some of their newer stuff and yeah I'm not really sold on it. But I believe this is still from their old stuff, proper tribal music. Real trance-inducing stuff!

 

Can't go wrong with tribal stuff but Spotify decided to throw in a song I grew up with.

 

Awww hahaha Yeah, it's got something, ey? It's just insane how successful the movie was. Then again it's no surprise, really.

 

And you're right about that. You really can't go wrong with that!

 

Yeah, especially something that well known with people like Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in it. Definitely.

 

Yeah, that goes on top of it.
Oh, and thanks to you I had that song stuck in my head the whole bloody morning! lol

 

Yeah definitely.
Haha, my work is done.
