Help me with my "sleazy" Playlist.

[danny la rouge]

Hmmm.

I will listen to the ones I don't know, but sleazy as in.... slower, dirtier, guitarier, rainier, 3am round by the bins-ier...

Somewhere between the OP songs and Closer by Nine Inch Nails-ier.

Yep, I understood the brief and tried to suggest songs sonically similar to the OP.

 

[Orang Utan]

Sleazy = filthy, rude, corrupting?
Didn’t realise it was a sonic thing, thought it was about vibe and lyrical content

Vibe, yes. Musical vibe.

Given that I knew the two songs in the OP, I thought the suggestions coming in were a bit of a Spinal Tap misunderstanding.

I remain confused

I remain confused

Filthy/rude/corrupting in feel. Like you’d say “dirty bass”.

It would have helped it others had listened to the songs in the OP.

The word 'Sleazy' combined with lazy = thread fail.

 

[danny la rouge]

It would have helped it others had listened to the songs in the OP.

Plus, they mainly went for “sexist”.

 

[danny la rouge]

Some reason I pasted this twice. I suspect a C&P malfunction. Can’t remember what I meant to suggest. I can have another go if AverageJoe approves of my suggestions thus far?

That’s the sleazy vibe - sexually threatening/morally corrupt

Eugh no

AverageJoe I had fun making a playlist along the lines of what I was hearing from your chosen tracks. See if this is close. If not, I’ve enjoyed making a decent playlist anyway.

Oh, I thought a sleazy playlist was one exclusively made up of songs featuring Peter Christopherson.
Nah, if I'm understanding the assignment correctly, I'd think of the Kills as a band who nail the sleazy sound perfectly:

Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?

 

[hitmouse]

I was trying to think if Laughing Hyenas are too noisy to count as proper sleazy, but think this counts in my book:

 

[editor]

Pretty in Pink by the Psychedelic Furs
Just about anything off Berlin by Lou Reed.

 

[hitmouse]

Is this sleazy in quite the same sense as the tracks from the OP? I dunno. Is it a good addition to literally any playlist ever, no matter what the theme? I'd say so:

 

[DaveCinzano]

Until I saw AverageJoe's clarification, I was going with the likes of:

Vanity 6 ‘Nasty Girl’


The Adventures Of Stevie V ‘Money Talks’


Steve Ellington Band ‘Kiss’


2 Live Crew ‘Me So Horny’


But afterwards, maybe stuff more like...?

The The ‘Out Of The Blue (Into The Fire)’

Bad Gyal and Juanka (which, fnarr fnarr, sounds like "wanka") with "Blin blin"...

Cultural note: The phrase "back door man" also used in Led Zep´s "Whole lotta love" does not mean what smutty, modern listeners imagine. It is a blues tradition, referring to an extramarital affair: the lover sneaks out via the back door when the husband comes home.

Yeah I'm aware of that. And Led Zeppelin nicked it, as they did about 50% of their early shit, from Willie Dixon.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I mean pretty much anything off this album, but especially this one...

 

[SpookyFrank]

And from the 'borderline creepy' section...

 

[SpookyFrank]

OK last one I promise.

 

[Knotted]

Aren't we all missing the obvious?
