Adara AstinI have "Insane Asylum" from Diamanda Galás's album Malediction & Prayer going through my head tonight (as one does).
Some of you like metal or music that goes hard. This is a whole different level.
If you like this, the entire album is astonishing.

I saw Diamanda Galás live once (years and years before the pandemic).
Just her, a piano, a mic, and a spotlight.
A performer of that caliber doesn't need bells and whistles.
It was one of the best live performances I have seen in my life. It rewired my brain. Pinnacle life experience stuff.
