Lily takes a trip
My lover complains telling there’s is way too much depressing & ambient music on this site, and although I beg to differ, I’ve arranged this playlist comprised of just really seedy and sleazy music, see if I get it right this time. So little music is seedy and dirty, so little good music is really.
The post title comes from Tim Walker’s photograph, he’s one of my favorite photographers (fashion-wise) and I like to think this playlist echoes, on a certain level, the playful imagery of the scene. Take a full-screen look at the picture, good use of color and unique set design.
- Soko – I’ll kill her
(Ep 1 / 2007) - Dover – devil came to me
(devil came to me / 2001) - Le tigre – TKO
(This island / 2004) - CSS – music is my hot, hot sex
(Cansei de ser sexy / 2006) - Sonido Lasser Drakar – two young
(The electric mass begins Ep / 2003) - Four tet – go go ninja dinosaur (with Princess Watermelon)
(Colours are brighter / 2006) - Le tigre -Hot topic
(Le tigre / 1999) - Serge Gainsbourg – en melody
(Histoire de Melody Nelson / 1971)
The great object of life is Sensation—to feel that we exist—even though in pain—it is this “craving void” which drives us to Gaming—to Battle—to Travel—to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.

Nice blog!
Seedy? No.
Sleezy? Fail.
Wacky lo-fi and girls yelling is about as slimy as a brand new iPhone.
augh… I had a witty answer prepared, but someone called me when I was about to type and I’ve forgotten it. Such is the way of the mind.
Well, hoping you’re not a hit & run visit I’m always up for new recommendations and you’re welcome to post some of your own suggestions regarding stuff you enjoy.
your lover is right!
And if I find her, I swear I’ll kill her
You should make more of these lists Moka. That way I don’t have to feel guilty posting even more depressing & ambient music. ;)
That Soko songs is nice, she should get together with Herman Düne.
should explore different texture. It’s an interesting exercise for balance.
That’s the reason why I love this site: depressing & ambient music.
That’s the reason why I come back every day to check if there is a new post: depressing & ambient music.
It’s pretty hard to keep making ambient list. There are only so many good tracks. Not to mention imagining the mood for a post. If you crave that much dark ambient, you should add other blogs on your check list too. Or post additional resources for MdM crew for more tracks and idea.
Also, MdM is not specializing in dark ambient :D so that’s important too.
