Who wants some League of Extraordinary Blogger goodness?
Following on from last week's open-ended topic (Spies), Brian at Cool and Collected (and coordinator of The League) posed another similarly broad topic for discussion:
''Cowboys.''
After a quick Youtube search failed to provide the title music to the truly awful British sitcom of the same name (featuring what I seem to remember was a Chas 'n' Dave soundtrack - and for those who don't know who Chas 'n' Dave are, consider yourself lucky) I settled on my second choice: some Goths from Stevenage, covered in flour*, performing their super-atmospheric interpretation of Ennio Morricone's already super-atmospheric ''Harmonica'' theme from the greatest Western ever made, Once Upon a Time in the West.
* Yes, that really was A Thing.
You're welcome.

So what of my fellow League Members?
Shezcrafti also has an even creepier cowboy-related musical number
Branded in the 80s looks at the 80s version of a toy I originally considered for this piece
The Goodwill Geek features an eclectic mix of cowboy-themed goodness
See the full line-up - or better yet, join in the fun! - at Cool and Collected.

Is it me, or does this sound pretty creepy?
ReplyDeleteI think they transposed the key (probably into a minor, sad one), as the original doesn't sound quite so unsettling. Fields of the Nephilim are a very moody/atmospheric kind of band, too.

And for something a bit more uptempo, you can't beat a mathe-magickal constructed prayer intended to invoke Nylarthotep (especially when it has such a kick-ass bassline.)
