Thank you for sharing, everyone!
I’m slowly going through the comments and enjoying a variety of good and interesting music!
This is hilarious, i love it. My favorite Jonathan Coulton song is Sticking It to Myself.
Excellent choice. I was going to go with Future Soon by Coulton.
That one is great!
I keep mis-remembering one line as “I’m not unreasonable, I mean at some point you’re gonna hafta die”
I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.
I also remember when it was obscure but i keep seeing it pop up as a meme of absurdity, which it is, of course. I think most people don’t realize the level of virtuosity on display.
Burrito Mojado, the Fabulous Hedgehogs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqfanMci3-A&t=0
This is hilarious, i love songs that are silly and fun while still being good.
Glad you like it. They made two albums, both pretty goofy. The main guy ended up in Vegas. Did some interesting stuff.

I like how simple this song is musically while converting multiple things behind the lyrics.
Been following this band for a while now and every now and again they release a banger.
They never draw huge numbers which doesn’t make sense to me given their songs.
This fucks.
Transmissor - Janela
Oh i like this. I have no idea what it’s about but it gives me nostalgia/reminiscing vibes. Definitely a head nodder! Also i appreciate how much variety there is even being a short song.
I messaged them and told them it should be much longer, they appreciated the comment and that they were proud of the record. The album is great. This song in particular can make me cry if I listen to it enough.
The President Called all the Artists by Micah Sommersmith
The snare on 2 and 3 really adds to the military theme the artist is painting. Very cool. I feel like this song is a small piece of a larger story.
Idk how obscure it is but FIGURE IN THE BACKGROUND by Snake Pool
This is a fun one. The driving beat from the drums and the bouncing bass make me smile and it’s impossible not to tilt my head back and forth to the beat.
Abortive Gasp - Psychogod. Someone posted this to [email protected] last year. I was the only person to upvote and comment on it. 1K people upvoted it on youtube, but that’s over 6 years. I don’t know anything else about this group.
This is interesting. It’s like dark-trance music. Also, is it Psychgod or Psychogod? Sounds like they’re saying Psychgod and that’s what’s in the background as well.
I have no idea what they’re saying or why. That’s part of the charm. I have this in my “favorites” and always get hyped when it comes on.

One Must Fall 2097 theme. https://youtu.be/pdVnKYcYi3g?si=g3DMymI7KQV8Vifh
Anything from the 1974 anime Jack and the Beanstalk OST but this: https://youtu.be/Ehqopzmx258?si=jQaKJRglCZkSLwFt
My favourite “obscure” artist right now is a Vancouver band called Slightest Clue. Post/Punk alternative group.
This is good, big fan. I like the changes in intensity throughout the song.
They have two EPs right now and I’m quite a fan of both. If you liked that one, definitely check out the rest of their discography
Nada Nada by Avial I suppose it’s obscure cuz it’s not in English
I like a number of songs by Sid Maudlin. However, some years ago she and her music entirely vanished from the internet. From what little information I could find, she retired and tried to erase that part of her past, along with every single one of her songs.
She was super aggressive with DMCA takedowns and would hit just about anything and everything that mentioned her name or her music. But the internet being what it is, it never truly went away. I think she’s either relaxed a bit or given up trying to take everything down.
