Like I genuinely feel like a lot of fans of like late 70s/early 80s new wave and post-punk especially the 'weirder' and more artsy and high concept stuff would love early they might be giants Like can you not get enough of elements of the avant-garde in pop music do you love when music is sarcastic and irreverent and witty and surreal and absurd and DARK do you like when music sounds a bit scary and challenges and unsettles you do you like when its been made with DIY production on the cheapest crunchiest instruments and is performed in gritty underground clubs and presented to audiences in novel ways do you like when artists seek to play with and redefine the relationship between artist and audience or do you also just like when frontmen get down autistic silly and sensitive style and freak everyone out with the way they incorporate performance art into their live shows like just. please contact me so we can listen to the 1983 demo tape while holding hands and I tell you all about it and then I play you a bunch of hissy staticy recordings that were ripped off of an answering machine 40 years ago and you will be changed

Slow down you crazy child
You're so ambitious for a juvenile
But then if you're so smart tell me
Why are you still so afraid? (mmmmm)
Where's the fire, what's the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out
You got so much to do and only
So many hours in a day (Ay)
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want
Or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (Oooh)
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you're doing fine
You can't be everything you want to be before your time
Although it's so romantic on the borderline tonight (tonight)
Too bad, but it's the life you lead
You're so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need
Though you can see when you're wrong
You know you can't always see when you're right (you're right)
You got your passion, you got your pride
But don't you know that only fools are satisfied?
Dream on, but don't imagine they'll all come true (Oooh)
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
Slow down you crazy child
Take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
It's alright, you can afford to lose a day or two (oooh)
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?
And you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You're gonna kick off before you even get halfway through (oooh)
Why don't you realize, Vienna waits for you?
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Any particular Touhou song remixes you're a fan of?
Touhou Arrangements are something i need to explore more of. Ive only stuck to a lot of the songs and circles ive found in 2017. That being said, there are certain songs that I'm just a huge fan of with youtube links for you to listen to.
More Then a Night from by A-One, but you'll probably be more familiar with who made it, Jessa Stebbins or Odyssey Eurobeat. Really nice and calming song despite being eurobeat, always fun to go back to over the years.
Fall In The Dark from ShibayanRecords. A classic for me if I'm being honest; one of the first touhou arrangements I heard when getting into the series and it's always had a relaxing feel to it that I kept coming back to. Love this song.
in the wind from Reset All Controllers. Absolutely beautiful strings song. Its quite a slow song; very calming and nice to listen to. And it slowly speeding up gives it a bit of emotional catharsis from it. Nice song to cry to time to time.
Old Tales of Old Heroes from Karasu. Really cool song, mixing in elements of rock and traditional Japanese music that bring in a fun listening experience. Makes it even neater that the composer is from Poland. One of the first arrangements I've heard too, never really forgot it.
Smiling Girl of History from DDBY. Cafe of Touhou song, if you've heard of that. This one really stood out to me. While fitting into the slow chill music of Cafe de Touhou, its so full of energy, so radiant, so joyous. I feel like I can dance in the night with this music, its just irradiates the feeling of restrained joy in a way, just love it.
KILLOVE FIREPROOF! from Akatsuki Records. Honestly had to restrain myself from including a lot of their music, a lot of them vibe with me just really well. This song is probably what really pushed me into liking Mokou as well as terumoko as a whole when I was just getting into Touhou. Always fun to listen to just from its unique composition to me.
鈴蘭 ~Proof that Love Was Never Real~ from Takamachi Walk. Really nice band. They do a lot of Metal music singing about bad relationships, its nice if you ever in a depressive mood but still fun metal to listen regardless. Its also pretty hard for me to pick a definitive song to put on here from them, since so many of their song's mood get me, but this one with the duo singing I think really encapsulates the best of their songs.
Hello, my friend from Diao ye zong. Recent song I found, got it here on tumblr. Absolutely love this song, it is just so emotionally charged to me. I can feel the weight behind everything in the song through the singing and the music which just feels incredible to me. It has genuinely made me cry a couple of times, thats how well it resonates with me.
There might be a theme or two from the music I've listed here. There are many touhou arrangements out there that I love, even this list is merely showcasing a good few that I think off and not really the best of the best from my experience. I hope this has answered your question and that i didn't completely misunderstand you when you said remixes

i think what i want to say is i want to do really cool and weird music but i struggling because i also like a type of style ive been doing on my own thing but i sometimes it feels too sappy for what i Really want to be doing and maybe im just critisizing myself too much in the area. like there could be a duality of style in my music but the only music ive really been able to make has been the easiest starting point i can go off from. but i feel . aughh,. the vibe isnt there yet i guess. BUT ITS GOOD TOO i like the music ive tried to make know but its quite different from my listening style i guess which is what id like 2 learn how to make. more like what i listen to. i wanna do both
