Rare Music

Dedicated to rare and unknown tracks and covers by various artists!

Can “unknown” extend to “music that never left its hometown, maybe only ever heard by 1,000 people but it’s really good enough to share”? Or are we talking fully-fledged, full library hidden-gems only?

Yes, I want weird and unknown music!

Not the rarest thing but Pat the Bunny released a collection of his early work and demos that has been in my music rotation for eons with tons of previously unreleased songs:

Been on a big King Gizzard kick lately and I feel like sharing more albums so here’s the two best introduction albums for those looking to get into the funny Aussie band:

Shouts out to my old friend who showed me this band back in college!

Some Neil Young covers by Jeff Rosenstock and Laura Stevenson. IDK man they just hit!

Melkor

I should really make a playlist of hard to find music, now I got to go and find shit again.

Solid sampler of some great music

In other news, I’ve ordered a Hiby M300, my first FLAC player. I listen to a lot of music locally as it is and I’m hoping a proper DAP will make listening to my collection easier away from my computer.

TheInquisitiveMug Nice!

BaloneyPony Update on the Hiby, I absolutely love this thing. Lets me have a dedicated device for music with only what I want on it. Plus doubles as a second android device with a way better battery life than my aging phone! Actually in love with this thing and I hope some of you guys go out and get your own, might even make a thread on it at some point!

This week here’s a Tennessee punk album I found off that sampler I posted. Feels like something I would’ve gone crazy for if I found it in High School and it hits hard today too!

The voice of Sealab 2021’s intro, “Calamine”, is fantastic and this is my go-to song to prove it: “Astronaut”.

Oh shit, YouTube links embed here? Well now it’s idiot (me) proof. Here’s a kick ass song from a cat I used to room with:

Doubling down, I really like his stuff:

BaloneyPony Glad you are enjoying your HiBy! I checked out the website. The prices seem decently reasonable especially compared to Walkmans. Also turns out they have a Evangelion collab going on which is very cute LOL

BaloneyPony

This weeks album is Voices of the Ancients: an orchestral album done to try to mix traditional musical traditions with modern tastes!

lordofcalamity Their EVA collab is so nice and yeah these are kinda the modern walkmans but without the price of modern walkmans! I’ve debated getting the Eva collab but it seems like something that’d clash with my aesthetics.
