So, I'm preeeetty much a complete virgin in the field of spoken word "music" or "pieces" or whatever is the appropriate term. However, recently I came to hear the piece I have a Special Plan by Current 93, and it blew my mind. It's a dark and twisted reading of a Thomas Ligotti poem to a drone and blip and strange noises. The content of the poem is entirely macabre, seemingly a window into the world of a someone experiencing some sort of psychosis, or at least that's how I think of it...
So, let's talk about spoken word pieces and things that we like or recommend. And if you haven't heard I have a Special Plan, then perhaps you should.

On their self-titled album there's a spoken word piece called "Omega" that blows my mind every time I hear it. They have another one but I can't remember the name of it at the moment.
produced by Ben Folds, man in my avatar (hell yes)
Also, Coleman Barks does a really good reading of Jalaludin Rumi's poetry.
Because there's no school like the old school.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Buddy Wakefield is really quite good if anyone is interested. Go buy his album on iTunes and you will not be disappointed.
From the top of my head, here's some of the songs:
Frank's Wild Years
The One that Got Away
Small Change
Romeo is Bleeding
(I don't know if this qualifies, or Romeo for that matter, but it's so awesome you should hear it anyway) Lucinda
And I believe there's one called Nirvana (and some others) off his new album.
It is awesome.
A few annoyances, such as using calories to measure energy instead of joules, but overall he's pretty interesting and has a nice vaudeville style.
My best friend's girlfriend manages a chain of music stores and we were waiting around the shop for her to finish work. Rollins got the shits that they weren't treating him like a big enough star or something, and STOLE a bunch of the stores' merchandise before storming out and trying to sell the cds to a nearby pawn shop having signed them. The pawnbroker rang up asking if t was really Rollins.
He'll know what you want from him.
