I told you I am obsessive: this video is much better than any of the previous ones I posted.
"Fifty Five Falls / Annabelle Lee" at the Hemlock Tavern, San Francisco, 2007.
(man, the youtube interface is so outdated and ugly! I hope it gets redesigned and gets as pretty as the other video services out there.)

the cruxshadows; marissa nadler
Hello. Instead of doing more important things, I am blogging again. :)
The first song I have for you is one I recall downloading off the internet when I was in 7th or 8th grade, and it was totally fleeepin' awesome. I knew a friend who was into "darkwave" music (actually a much older sister of a classmate) and so I decided to venture out on the internet and listen to that kind of stuff. You know, remember goth people?
The Cruxshadows, "Deception," 2000. (Yes, I know it looks tacky, but it was the post 90s...)
The next video is a folk song made out of Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "Annabelle Lee." Back in 7th grade, I stumbled upon that poem in my english book. Being new to American literature (I had lived in the Philippines when I was five to about eleven, or maybe four to ten years old, but I am not sure anymore), I thought Annabelle Lee was the most awesome poem ever that I still experience a sort of catharsis whenever I read it. So when I saw this live video of folksinger Marissa Nadler, I fell in love all over again.
In this live performance she mixes together another song of hers with "Annabelle Lee", and brought a whole new dimension to the poem. Joan Baez also made a rendition of "Annabelle Lee," but I've yet to hear it. It must be awesome...
Marissa Nadler, "Annabelle Lee/Fifty Five Falls"performed in 2007. Ignore the noisy people. The video may not be much to look at, but the audio is excellent:
Since I am a total freak and obsessively listen to versions of the same song, click here for another performance of "Annabelle Lee." I used to listen to different live versions of Tegan and Sara's "Living Room" so I hear the stylistic changes they made during live shows. Also, I totally lied about posting artwork again, but I won't give any excuses. Excuses are lame.
