Asobi Seksu
Ah, I adore them. Good New York dream pop.
Right now: “What’s A Girl to Do” - Bat for Lashes (Plaid Remix). It’s playing on Lush, a SOMA.fm radio station available through iTunes. I find myself tuning in just before bed. Makes for sweet dreams, =^).
Nothing like punk rock nihilism

If you like Asobi you will probably enjoy Pretty Girls Make Graves as well.
Epica, Cry for the Moon
Nothing like punk rock nihilism
Oh sure there is… horrorcore rap nihilism with massive doses of vigilante subjectivism thrown in. 
Insane Clown Posse
It’s a semi-long story on how I even decided to subject myself to this stuff. Suffice to say for me it’s like Eminem… crappy values but an interesting way to relay the story. I’m a sucker for theme albums. I hadn’t even heard of “Horrorcore” before.

Everyone listen to Epica. They’ll bring the thread IQ points back up a few notches.

Past the Pub who saps your body
And the church who’ll snatch your money
The Queen is dead, boys
And it’s so lonely on a limb

All your dreams are made
When you’re chained to (your) mirror with (your) razor blade
Today’s the day that all the world will see
I don’t dig what you gotta say
So come on and say it
Come on and tell me twice

I’m no clown I won’t back down
I don’t need you to tell me what’s going down
Down down down down da down down down
Vanessa Mae - A violinist who performs compositions of classical music to a modern dance beat.
I think this performance of hers is phenomenal! It’s Vivaldi’s Summer from his four seasons, but she titles it Storm:
As far as other performances go, classically speaking, the best performance I have ever seen of O Fortuna from Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana conducted by Andre Rieu!!
Fucking powerful!

I do like Therion’s version of it, in metal:
I’ve been listening to them for some time now. Love Simon Simons’ voice!
Diana Krall’s Live in Paris DVD is stellar! In one of the songs, a violinist can be seen with a tear rolling down her cheek, very emotional some of those songs are. Devil May Care the lyrics interest me. Anthony Wilson is an excellent jazz guitar player, too.
Right now, since I am very very much into Goth Metal, which I primarily listen too, lately I have been listening to these too over and over:
Michelle Darkness, Pet Semetary
catchy tune.
This one will administer to the listener a large dose of melancholy:
End of Green, Tragedy Insane
The lovely classical guitar player, Ana Vidovic:

Yeah, they have some amazing performances together. I think this is another great one.
