For 16+ years I keep coming back to this video just for the music hoping someone in the comments can say what it is... so maybe its Music that nobody knows about...
All I have is a Spotify link for this one.
Would anyone possibly be able to do some digging on this, I‘m really into it but can find nothing at all.
It’s also quite possible that this is all there is atm.

i choose to believe they named themselves after my favourite burial track
speaking of which, here's the burial track nobody knows about (or at least it's not on streaming)

i have a thing for this sort of remix, thoughtful and soulful and perfect, and so transformative that the original artist could easily have been released as the remixer's own single, the original artist relegated to feature status. >!this paragraph is really just a pretext to get away with posting afx!<

Wednsday Night Titans! I think this qualifies. I only found out about them a few months ago. They opened for a band I went to see, Sungazer, which is also a good band to check out. I had no clue what I was getting into with these guys. High energy frenetic jazz fusion with old wrestling footage cut together and synced up with the music. And they had a wrestling-like storyline going from show to show where a guy in the audience started yelling and accused one of the guys of stealing his songs, he gets up on stage, they argue, and the bass player does a wrestling move on the guy.
My household is hosting a theme dinner this month, and the theme we chose was “Italian peasant food” since my ancestors on one side were pretty much Italian peasants. That side of my family Americanized itself as quickly as possible (probably due to various social pressures / “The American Dream” / whatever), so I actually don‘t know anything about authentic Italian culture. It’s an interesting conundrum: Italian culture is often quite present in American society, but in such a bastardized form that it actually makes understanding the true culture harder because you're not approaching it from scratch and maybe getting to the real thing without all the signal interference.
Anyway: I was looking up some music for the event and found this collection of Italian folk songs from the Alan Lomax collection. I think it owns, and I wish I grew up with more stuff like this.
The album is called _Italian Treasury, Folk Music And Song From Italy, A Sampler._

the music scene we have in toronto is really inspiring and always churning out new stuff, so here's some stuff!!
bernice: soft lead vocals and harmonies over top of a backing track that sounds like some obscure japanese 80s electronic record that's only available on youtube for some reason

justin haynes solo piano: my late teacher recorded this at the library on his birthday about a month before he passed. a lot of his music/writing got lost to the internet but I am really glad this one remains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEiJqx2oV-8
john southworth: my friend and also my all-time favourite songwriter. if you like words and music combined in a structurally satisfying fashion... this is the stuff. and I happened to play a bit on this one!

I didn't participate in the art jam this month due to other life priorities, but I did get a new music toy and wrote a song, and now people know about it.

I wrote it in RP-8 which is a sick synth sequencer written in PICO-8.

Some of the metaphors for the loops and the workflow were very very hard for me to figure out because it's just so different than the trackers I've used, but I did eventually come out the other end. Super fun.
I think I‘ve recommended the blog FondSound before. Their most recent entry features a guest mix of Japanese privately-pressed music. Just cool, lovely stuff on this one, and I think some IC music fans will really dig what’s going on here:

I don‘t know if this really counts in my own thread, but Boowy, the most famous japanese rock band of all time, used to sound way more punk/visual kei and I feel like people don’t really know about it??
check out this early performance of Moral, and the energy of the band of the crowd. It's really no wonder they got so massive, and it's fun to see these arena-fillers playing for probably 150 people. Really makes me pine for the days of going to shows without fear of a global pandemic lol

@xhekros I like this one!
I remembered that Arhoolie Record Brandon was recommending way back when and went to look at it and it's like 90 bucks used 
anyone know where I can listen to this whole thing? https://folkways.si.edu/arhoolie-records-40th-anniversary-collection-1960-2000/music/album/smithsonian
@“DavidNoo”#p113358 well that sucks!! I wouldn't be surprised if harhoolie still just had some: https://store.arhoolie.org/
but they might still be expensive.
One of my favorite hyper-obscure musicians, Uncle Outrage has a new album out called SKUNKWORX
I've been a fan since 2004 and while their stuff is definitely not going to be to everyone's liking, I love it. It's tough music to describe kind of rock, kind of electronic, kind of hardcore, sometimes kind of a dumb joke? But they've got a distinct sound and from what I've heard of the new album, it's real good!
@“Nemoide”#p113900 you should send them a nice email if you never have before!
@“exodus”#p113901 I actually did that earlier this year!

Abe Vigoda's first EP and LP were great. They eventually went in a direction I wasn't a big fan of, but I always come back to this one, Reviver.
