I Am the Fun Blame Monster is indeed the first record, although I think Friend & Foe is much, much better.

The question; What, to you, is the most beautiful song you've heard?
That's a good challenge, my pick as of late would have to be this. I don't know....you could just as easily hate this song, but coupled with the performance, there's something so tragic and simple about it.

I can't watch the video on my connection right now, but is that Mask (Henry Rollins show, I think)? If so, it is a beautiful song.
I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this in, but it's the only music thread I have seen. Anyways. Have any of you guys listened to Foxy Shazam, and if so, what did you think?
Shortlist:
Rolling Stones - Wild Horses
Joni Mitchell - A Case of You
Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Sam Cooke - a Change Is Gonna Come
New Order - Temptation
Anal Cunt - Your Kid Committed Suicide Because You Suck
Oh shits! New Protomen song. It's linked in Tychos news post, but I just got around to reading it.
I really love the first Protomen album, and I don't even give a shit about Megaman. ACT II better live up to the amazing of the first. This demo song is pretty sweet.

Portugal. The Man.
The Sound of Animals Fighting
Manchester Orchestra

Ok, so totally belongs in a Punk music thread instead of this one, but, I mean, punk is kinda indie isn't it? I mean it isn't on a major record label atleast.
beautiful song? Final Fantasy - Paris 1919 (John Cale cover) I Choose You!
*snip*
Man, I fucking love Final Fantasy. I really wish they came up when discussing video game music more often.
Minibosses are nice and all, but Owen Pallet is the guy I don't skip on shuffle.
He swam! To the edge of the wall of the world!
Followed my voice, and he cried
Master! The answer is maybe... Maybe not... Maybe not...
Maybe not! I have goals!
Gotta fulfill the seven prophecies!
Gotta be a friend to grandmother!
Gotta rescue Michael from the White Witch!
Gotta find and kill my shadow self
Gotta dig up every secret seashell
You may have been made for love...
But I'm just made.
Beck on
Lucas's Franklin Badge reflected the lightning back!
I see a lot of great tracks have already been mentioned in response to the question posed by MindLib, and I'd like to add one I didn't see on anyones list: Playing Dead by Breathe Owl Breathe(never did find any video of it, so this mp3 stream will have to do)
Is it the most beautiful song I've ever heard? Probably not, but I had it playing in my current playlist and thought it was worth mentioning

Owen's not really video game music, though, apart from the name. The songs on He Poos Clouds are about the schools of magic in D&D, but the stuff on Has a Good Home and his new material aren't game related. Unless there's an odd song that I'm forgetting about.
Free Bloc Party show in NYC tonight, for those who still care about them. I still love Silent Alarm and a handful of songs they've written since then, so I'll probably go.

Yeah, it's definitely not video game music in the same way that minibosses are, but with the numerous video game references in He Poos Clouds, I just wish he came up in video game music conversation more often.

Not quite as good as the album version but still amazing and I couldn't find a youtube of it
EDIT: Also just saw someone posted Naked As We Came. That's up there, but Sodom, South Georgia is my #2.
I Am the Fun Blame Monster is indeed the first record, although I think Friend & Foe is much, much better.

i also realize now this isn't indie at all but its still a good song so shush
It turns out that rather than focus on the "next album," he produces one song a month and sells them online.
Why don't I own this? WHY DON'T I OWN THIS???
Late of The Pier - Space and The Woods
Late of the Pier - Bears Are Coming
John Wayne Gacy, Jr
And in my best behavior/I am really just like him
Maybe Emily by Joanna Newsom.
Unrelated to the question, I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned The Music Tapes yet.
Majesty Snowbird
Toe is pretty

But if we're talking Sufjan, may I suggest (it gets pretty unlistenable by the end due to quality, but oh wow it's so beautiful at the beginning):

and let's not forget Sigur Rós:

Tom Waits could fill albums, but here are my favorites.
If I have to go
You can never hold back spring
On the Nickel
Couldn't find a good version of Day After Tomorrow

Yes. Lightening Bolt shows are amazing.
I really love the first Protomen album, and I don't even give a shit about Megaman. ACT II better live up to the amazing of the first. This demo song is pretty sweet.
Could anyone possibly inform me as to how I can actually get my hands on their records? I can't find them anywhere.

They are pretty hard to find.
I had to resort to... other means.
Amazon or ebay is your best bet though.
Or this if you can read moon language. I'm not sure if it ships everywhere though.. :P
