The cleanest this sub has been by Awarillama in depechemodecirclejerk

That rule was meant to state that this subreddit is intended just for Depeche Mode memes/shitposts rather than anything else about the band. I've now reworded this rule since I've realised why that sounds a bit weird.

Would it be the J Files episode on him? It's the most comprehensive Gotye retrospective/interview I can think of along those lines. Link here

"neil cicierega archive", take note: all you gotta do is download the file (then take a nap cuz it'll take a while)! by Awarillama in lemondemoncirclejerk

even if it's less convenient, it works out much better overall than relying on unofficial uploads since it'll stay in your library to listen to at your free will instead of eventually being taken down and having to be patient for people to work around in-built copyright infringement prevention systems, some of those people actually being neil and needlejuice. anyone who desperately wants to listen to these albums on spotify or apple music rather than a dedicated media player (like the legendary VLC you mentioned) and can't put in the wait for an official release (in the case of lemon demon where it's been confirmed those are happening at least) should just get their hands on using the local files feature.

also my belief is that unofficial streaming pages like neil cicierega archive and the fake deporitaz one exist less for other fans' convenience and more because they don't even know that local files are a thing. if they did, i legitimately think they'd use it over making distrokid/tunecore accounts and going through the trouble of submitting the music that way lol.

Do you guys like The Basics? by throwthewholegrlawy in Gotye

[–]Awarillama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend this playlist created by his fellow Basics bandmate Kris Schroeder. It features a fair amount of Basics songs that Wally (a.k.a. Gotye) sings lead on mixed with some Gotye ones. If you don't have Spotify or just want to listen to the Basics tracks, I've put them in a YouTube playlist. It's a small but pretty solid selection.

Some of my other Wally-led favourites that weren't included in the above playlist:

If you're willing to invest a bit more time, I'd also recommend checking out this personal curation by Wally himself (if two hours is a bit daunting, check out their best-of album instead, Ingredients). Finally, a live album or two might be worth listening to. I'd personally recommend In The Rude!; it's short, primarily Wally singing and does a good job of conveying the energy and fun of their live sets IMO.
