i've never heard of them, so they must be cool (too cool for me)
Oh my goooodness! I hate when people try to reference the most obscure movies/music simply for the sake of seeming original or nonconformist. I mean, really, it's not so horrible if you enjoy something that is enjoyed by others, or even something that's.. you know.. popular (God forbid!). Seriously, you're knowledge of things "below the radar" is really not impressive at all.

That reminds me of a song by one of my favorite groups from the last twenty years, Bows of Baleen; they had a minor hit in 1987 with their song, "A Sumerian Library Card (Will Only Get You So Far)" which many think was inspired by the Evil Dead films, but actually was an examination of the revival of interest in the actual magical tome written by Abdul Alhazred, the "Mad Arab" but was not known as the Necronomicon until much later than that. They really pioneered the use of combining zither with sampled found sound in a pop format, but they were too far in the avant garde for them to find any real popularity. They were pretty popular in Germany and Japan, though, and their first 3 LPs are out-of-print, but I hear tell there are plans to remaster them and release them on CD for the first time in 13 years.
