Share a song or a few songs (preferably old songs, maybe) and then like, tell a short little story about how you found it and why the tune has nostalgic / personal value to you.

(I'm just looking for shit to sample / chop, pretty much).

I'll start...

Electric Light Orchestra II - The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

Electric Light Orchestra II - Heart of Hearts

The tape this track is from, I got that at a Big Lots (closeout store that sells cheap shit and overstock from other stores) for $5 when I was maybe 11 years old in '92 or '93.

I used to listen the fuck outta this tape while I would play Super Mario World (listening to this song and playing the Star World levels with the star parallax backgrounds.)

I also used to listen to the tape (and lots of others) when I'd go on field trips... I always had to have music or I would just be bored out of my mind on the bus.

EDIT: In retrospect, I probably should have made this thread in Off Topic... damn you General, and your misleading name (I keep forgetting that General means general topics about e6, and not just "General Subjects."

Casey LaLonde - Heartfelts

Since I listen a lot of music from Ren Queenston, I came across a few very good ones featuring Casey LaLonde's vocals (like this one. I don't like a lot of their music, but this particular tune from him has something.

Renard - Intensive Care Unit

This was the very first song of Renard Queenston I came back to a lot. I found it via: Amnesia mod "The Dark Room" (nonsense meme mod) > Trololo > Rainbow Trololo > Rainbow Tylenol > Ren Queenston's YouTube channel > Intensive Care Unit.
I've been listening his music for like 5 years now.

Five Star Hotel - BURIED SEA CUT (loud)

Once I branched into Ren Queenston's EUGENE alias (noise music), I immediately liked the rough and abrasive style. Unfortunately, he only ever made about 10 tracks, but I wanted more. Inadvertently, I came across a Reddit post (I don't use Reddit though) which happened to be a thread about "More music like EUGENE's."
One person mentioned "Five Star Hotel." This sounded like an innocent kind of label but oh boy...
It's music you need to learn to listen to, because seemingly, most of it is just a bunch of loud sounds.
BURIED SEA CUT however seems to be rather melodic compared to the average noise track.
This music is particularly satisfying when you're pissed off or angry.

Arena - How Did It Come To This

One of the only rock bands I happen to enjoy. I found out about them via my dad who has a lot of CD's (he used to work at a Hi-Fi store so no surprise there).
Arena is a rock band that has been around for more than a decade, which is pretty impressive. This tune is from their new album "Unquiet Skies" (2015). Arena is typically one of those awesome bands that have been left in the dust...

009 Sound System - Born To Be Wasted

Yes yes, go ahead and hate me for it, but I love music from 009 Sound System! Track One Recordings run by Alexander Perls was one of the first (if not THE first) label I ever enjoyed. This basically encompasses my teenage years on YouTube.
How I found out about it? Easy: this stuff was everywhere back then.

I love love love love Truxton - it's the fact they mash up popular songs against a backdrop of video game samples from the NES, SNES and Genesis era, so you get stuff like Automaton Astrosmash that has the Fortress music from Super Mario 3 blended with the acapella of Busta Rhymes - Dangerous.

Found a lot of video game tunes I had never even heard of thanks to listening to Truxton (that Splatterhouse 3 tune, omfg... also "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago (not a video game tune, but damn... that horn breakdown is fucking killer. I can't remember off the top of my head what song it was he sampled those in, I just know it jams pretty damn hard).

I'm digging this Casey LaLonde tune, kinda makes me think of a more synthesizer heavy Asobi Seksu.

I love that kinda... peaceful, drifty kinda shit.

Asobi Seksu - Thursday

I found Asobi a long long time ago through the now dead internet radio program, Last.FM, back in 2004 or 2005 - it was basically a little standalone program you downloaded and ran and it would play songs in a similar fashion to what Pandora does today, except there was ~A LOT~ more foreign stuff, so I found a lot of the Japanese Rock and Pop bands I came to like through that. (MUCC - Gentou Sanka, in particular).

Okay, sure.

Back in early 90s I got a mixtape from the Herpetophile Mailing List. That was back in the days when downloading music off the internet was far too slow to be feasible, long before sites such as YouTube existed.

Used to play that tape all the time while cruising around. Two of the songs that I still remember were Union of the Snake by Duran Duran and Tears of the Dragon by Bruce Dickinson. ...kinda wish that I could remember the rest.

Love Duran Duran, despite being born in and growing up in the 80s (1981) I didn't even know who they were until I went tape digging in cars at the junkyard my dad worked at and I found their self-named debut album (same time period, I was 11 and it was like, 92 or whatevz) - funny thing is that the tape makers at the factory musta fucked up, cuz it said "due to space restraints some tracks are cut off" - so instead of The Sound of Thunder, it had an earlier version of The Reflex (they later redid it for the album Seven and The Ragged Tiger), and Tel Aviv was totally cut off before it had a chance to finish, lol.

Duran Duran - Self Titled (album).

[this one isn't fucked up, wish I had kept the fucked up one though, cuz I think misprints are collectors items or something? Dunno].

I >love< the song "The Chauffeur" off the Rio album.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RTJQFsiCWI

That flute just sticks in your head.

I also really love their cover of "Watching The Detectives" by Elvis Costello.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtvTPQB6w0c

That one is off the "Thank You" album, which I got for 8 dollars at a Flea Market (coincidentally, same fleamarket in Ashland, Kentucky where I would buy old NES carts for 2 dollars a cart).

Jerry Martin - Sixth Floor

This sounds like something you would expect to hear in a game like Chrono Cross, when you're walking around the jungle, trying not to bump into enemies.

^I like this, this is most definitely choppable... throw that into Recycle and put slice lines on the vocals and some of that guitar and bam, got a chop file RX2 to throw into Dr. Rex in Reason <3

Oh yeah, here is this... how I found it? Daft Punk actually sampled it for "Face to Face" (they also cut up pieces of ELO's "Evil Woman").

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc-3chkhYcI
Loggins and Messina - House at Pooh Corner

Didn't know this song existed until I had looked up a video explaining what samples Daft Punk used to make Face to Face. But considering I was a big fan of the "New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh" cartoon as a kid in the 80s, I prolly would have enjoyed it if I had known about it then too...

Harmony - Dragon Song

Found this a long long time ago on OCRemix.org.

I hope you guys don't feel used or anything >.>

I wish I had the money and the gear (turntable) to go crate digging in real life, looking for old records to sample, but I don't, so I just go on Youtube and e-dig instead, serves pretty much the same function and you find some great shit that way too.

.... holy shit... blast from the past.

Coven 13 - Book of Shadows, I forgot the band name (I downloaded this shit during a wicca phase I was going through back in 2000 or 2001) and it instantly just reappeared in my head after I thought about the title for a few seconds. My brain is weird sometimes. Useful, but really weird.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEgfI1g64sw

Anyway, I oughta shut up fer a bit so I am not crowding anyone else out... but I do like responding to y'all.

One of my favorites is Oh L'amour by Erasure. The part beginning at 1:44 is so magical. Erasure is a duo above the rest. Vince Clarke was the genius behind them, and he wrote the most amazing keyboard parts and real basslines. I grew up with them, being one of my mom's favorite groups, and also love Breath of Life, Love to Hate You, Sometimes, A Little Respect and Who Needs Love Like That? Their songs are so original and inventive and active.

Another song with fabulous sounds and a terrific bassline is Everything Counts by Depeche Mode. I didn't grow up with this song of theirs, but it instantly became a favorite when I heard it.

My favorite "YouTube musician" is Sim Gretina. I've been avidly following him for four years. He used to mostly make MLP stuff, which is how I found him, but now he makes other things. He has a mess of songs, and their mostly good to awesome. He just released Interference, Controller is cool, Irma and Jorma is one of my favorite night drive songs, and Just Your Problem Baby is a great collab.

Don't know if any of these will be useful to you. Sorry for the track spam :D

One last thing: what do you think of this?

Haven't even heard / seen this before, but I am definitely getting a Skinny Puppy / New Order / Information Society type of vibe from it - even though it is from a game, to me, it sounds like it could be by any number of classic 80s synth or industrial bands.

Oh yeah, on the topic of 80s synth bands - you ever heard of the movie Felidae? Boy George of Culture Club did the song for that movie. I lurrrrve that song, damn is that movie ever fucked up though... definitely not for kids! -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYCr2B6QH2I

I took this and chopped it up and am in the process of making a beat from it >.>

Chains of Love is good to! And Yazoo too! I grew up with The Cure, Simple Minds, A Flock of Seagulls, U2, Adam Ant, and a bunch of other 80s groups, cause that's my mom's music.

That track is from a game called Star Control 2, which was renamed The Ur-Quan Masters when it was made public domain in 2001-ish. IGN put it in the top 50 games of all time. The soundtrack was unconventionally put together by making an open entry for artists, and if the makers liked a certain song, they were paid for it. This allowed them to pick and choose the best from a large selection. Most of them were European musicians who supplied a ton of awesome 80s alt and industrial pieces. The uploader has most of the soundtrack. Try the Yehat theme. Here's two pieces that he's missing:

On that same vein of stuff - you ever play Hellbender? Back in like, 1999, 2000, 2001 or something like that, when I was taking a computer class at vocational school, me and the class would network Hellbender on the Fridays when we'd get pizza and mess around.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-F230YpcxI

It was pretty much DOOM or Quake with spaceships.

I seemed to have missed the bottom part of your post. Unless you edited it, that is.

I've seen about half of Felidae on YouTube. It is totally screwed up. I might finish it someday. I didn't know Boy George wrote a song for it.

I haven't heard of The Plague Dogs. Is it good?

Dude, I saw The Neverending Story when I was like, six. It's not the best movie for very small children lol. I read the books though. They're really good and super unique, but quite dry.

That Hellbender theme is badass! I watched a gameplay, and it looks pretty intense. Reminds me of Rogue Squadron 3D, which I grew up with. Such a good game.

Watership Down has one of the most disturbing scenes of any movie I've ever seen. You know, the nightmare? It takes talent to convey pure terror like that. Don Bluth is pretty good at that sort of thing too. I'll be sure to find Plague Dogs. My cousins might have it...

Mine would have to be "Bark at the moon by Ozzy Osbourne. It was the first heavy metal album I ever owned. My father gave it to me and told me about Ozzy and Black Sabbath, I was hooked. Heavy Metal saved my life. It helped me feel free.

My fave Sabbath song is Paranoid, which I actually first came to know via the SNES game "Rock N Roll Racing," I would have been around 12 in 1993, when the game was released (and I rented it from a rental shop). I only knew the chiptune version of Paranoid, so I had no idea what the lyrics were. Then one day, I caught the proper tune in some commercial for wine or something.

SlipKnot - 'Duality'

Pretty much the first metal song I ever heard in my life. I'd like to say it was '07 or '08 when I heard it in the background of a Youtube video. From then on, the next ~10 years would be me listening to every metal genre on the face of the planet and discovering hundreds of amazing bands.

Pantera - 'Cemetary Gates'

My go-to song for when I need a good cry. It's just so incredibly emotional and atmospheric. It's hard to believe the same band that made bone-crushing songs like "Primal Concrete Sledge", "Fucking Hostile", and "Cowboys from Hell" could show their sensitive side as well.

Mastodon - 'Blood and Thunder'

One of several songs that helped me survive the hell that is 7th and 8th grade at a Catholic school. Being the only rock fan in a class of 60 made me an automatic outcast, which was completely unpleasant. A few of the other songs were Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades', The Offspring's 'Self-Esteem', and Extreme's 'Play With Me'.

One of my online friends that I wound up meeting at Anthrocon back in 2002 or something (the first time I had ever gone to a fur-con), introduced me to a website called "Project-J" and there I wound up finding a bunch of J-Rock bands like Dir en grey and stuff. So I got really, really, really obsessed with listening to every band in that style that I could find. I am not so much ~as~ obsessed with J-Rock and Visual Kei as I was from 2002 to 2008, but it is certainly an aspect I would like to incorporate into my vision of hip hop beats, if possible. I made a pretty sweet chop out of √eight's "Inochi hi."

New Orleans Is Sinking | Blow At High Dough | My Music At Work | The Tragically Hip

Very popular Canadian band, I'm not quite sure how many of you have heard of them. They were recently in the news because the lead singer has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and they started their final tour this year, they aren't coming to my city unfortunately. This is one of my dad's favourite bands so when I was younger I would walk into his office and he would often have one of their songs on.

Ordinary Day | When I'm Up | Great Big Sea

I'm not sure how popular this band is in the States. Another favourite band of my dad's, we went to their concerts often as they would have one every year.

Does Gordon Lightfoot count?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vST6hVRj2A
"Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald"

I remember hearing this as a baby, like I remembered the guitar melody, the note progression and the style of his singing... but nothing else. The tune was there, but the lyrics were a total fuzz in my brain. Then an older guy I was staying with / dating (well, older to me, I was 21 at the time, he was 32) played a bunch of Gordon Lightfoot songs off a mix CD he put together for a drive, and I was like "HOLY SHIT, I KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S LIKE MY FIRST TIME HEARING IT AND ACTUALLY KNOWING WHAT IT IS."

It's kinda also what I wound up doing with Knight Rider... like, as a baby, I loved the hell outta Knight Rider, had the toys and watched it almost daily, it came on right after Days of Our Lives, which my mom watched religiously, so I'd put up with Days just to get to watch Knight Rider.

But then those memories faded and I totally forgot the show, then around 1993, when I was 12, the USA Network started to play re-runs of it, and it was like, the memory was so faded it was like watching it for the first time again. Not surprising though, considering K.R. came out in 1982, a year after me being born, lol...

Another good tune by Gordon.

Well, I did NOT expect such a simple tune from my childhood to be mentioned here! Want the lyrics? :D

The first album I listened to was "Does This Look Infected?" by Sum41, as my mom was kind of a metalhead, and so my favorite song was Still Waiting (starts at 1:00, clip is silly).

Then it would be Animal I Have Become which was an intro and outro to a French Youtube Series, but which later became one of the bands I listened to the most.

Not exactly old, but a song that is dear to me is the ending song of Dark Souls, The Nameless Song . After 90 hours of absolute pain and yet incredible gaming experience, I was greeted by this really smoothing tune for my ears to enjoy. I am now filled with satisfaction every time that I listen to it.

Finally, although Mad World has been used for many different things, I always remembered it from Gears of War, a game that me and my bro discovered and beat together. I remember that the tragic moment in the story that was brought with this music pissed me off for the two or three following days, because of how sad it was.
