1. crapcore 5 up, 3 down Crapcore is a music genre with a clear aggressive mode that has nearly no lyrics at all. Most often, crapcore has a fuzzy and very fast beat, the samplings have very low quality and the vocals consist solely of screams. Sometimes single words or phrases can be heard.
There is a fine line between crap-core and crap. Crapcore is less a musical genre or style and more a method of thinking, and an approach towards creating art. While crapcore music can range from simplistic accoustic tunes to avant-garde opperettas made by screaming into a hand-held tape recorder, what remains constant is a naive ability and willingness to create despite an awful environment or the neccescity to use the most rudimentry, broken-down tools. And beyond this simplistic and haggard bum's work-ethic, crapcore always has an underlying ugly-ness. The crapcore artist is simultaniously a cynical and pretentious rip-off artist and a "outsider" idiot-artist. He or she will continue to create flawed artwork no matter the situation because of a compulsion and an inability to function within the "outside world."
Many novelty or "crap" artists often confuse their work with crapcore. Crapcore music is closely related to freak-out, core-core, far-out and avant-unlistenable, in that it is likely sloppy, lo-fi, fueled by alcohol or drugs or widely considered exremely irritating, however a wide spectrum of diverse artists could also be defined by such wide deffinitions.
Some "popular" crapcore artists include "German Cars vs American Homes", "Hasil Adkins", "Pope John Paul the Third" and "Passenger of Shit".

Ice metal ज्ञानकोश: - The Indological Knowledgebase Ice metal is kindly metal music that diferes from the other sub-genres of metal in musical style more than in lyrics and attitude. The most prominent and representative (but not only one) band among the ice metal scene would probably be the Finland band Sonata Arctica, who used ice imagery (and sometimes themes) extensively. The distinctions of this sub-genre of metal is that it uses a lot of electronical instruments taken from the 80's icy sound that began with the new romantics and synth pop scenes, which suggests ice, snow and brilliant aesthetic; and that the principal role of the score is on the keyboard, subbordinating the guitars to a second place. Some of these bands even has two or three keyboardists. Other examples are Luca Turilli, Royal Hunt, Celesty, Heavenly, Helloise, Die & Her, Drakkar, Maley, Lacrimosa, Johansson, At Vance, Crystal Eyes and Suricci Bianca.

there's my new orleans brass band thread, but there can only be so much discussion when new records don't come out very often and nobody listens to them anyway (and that stuff is totally different from Euro/military brass bands)

Hurting 2 - thanks for the recommendation of "Les Gnawa du Maroc" - that clips i heard sound great but i can't find it for less $20. I really enjoy the Randy Weston joint "The Splendid Master Gnawa Musicians of Morocco". Very Nice.

I was half-thinking yesterday of starting a S/D for the Russian post-punk / rock / folk scene alla Auktyon, 80s-90s-00s mainly but maybe it's still ongoingBrazil beyond the classic bossa nova / MPB / samba era is my biggest regret on ILMDeep dives in Latin music also, for example Peru (I see there's a small thread), Colombia (not about Shakira), Argentina or Mexico.
I'm probably not aware of everything that has been discussed though. You think you see a blind spot and then next to it there's a 10'000 posts thread for Umm Kulthum.

I’m constantly exposed to music that is never exposed on ilm because I live in Mexico and that’s fine with me.
Most music discussed here is uk/us centric with a bit of global awareness.
