I was lucky enough to see Cutler perform once. Definitely one of the quietest acts that I have ever seen.
http://www.theverge.com/2014/7/16/59092 ... rde-royalsWeird Al rants about the Illuminati in parody of Lorde's 'Royals'
Weird Al is getting a bit weirder for day three in the eight days of music video releases to promote his new album, Mandatory Fun. This third parody is of Lorde's breakout single "Royals," which Al twists into a strange infomercial for aluminum foil. The song, called "Foil," translates surprisingly well, but it's partway through that things start to get really odd. "Oh by the way I've cracked the code," Al sings. "I figured out these shadow organizations / and the Illuminati know / that they're finally primed for world domination." Patton Oswalt costars in the video, and Reno 911! stars Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant cameo as secret agents to wrap things up.
The Devil Went Down To Georgia.. straightforwardly what it says. A young man's pact with Satan for his soul.
The Way by Fastball.
By the way, Hotel California should probably be in the top three.
Sorabji (1892-1988) is one of my very favourite composers, he lived in Corfe Castle and was a very private and interesting man with a deep interest in the occult which reflects heavily in his musical compositions;
Leonard Cohen namechecks Gloomy Sunday in this intro to his own song, Dress Rehearsal Rag
Dunno if anyone has ever done themselves in to Dress Rehearsal Rag.

Sorry if it's been covered before:
Hauntology music from the likes of the Advisory Circle, Broadcast, the Focus Group, Moon Wiring Club etc. Check out Ghost Box music label.
It's music from the recent past 50's - 80's, mostly British, often based or sampling old public service broadcasts, music and sounds which have fallen out of fashion and become lost. It's the quaintness that makes the music feel fresh and yet unnerving. This would be a good example from the Advisory Circle:

I discovered the fascinating story of US singer-song writer and UFO enthusiast Jim Sullivan a few years ago, and for those that haven't heard of Sullivan and the story of his unusual & unexplained disappearance, I would recommend having a look at this article here, http://lightintheattic.net/releases/502-u-f-o
