I can make dogs sick just by staring at them
High quality weirdness from Drone Sickness, Iowa's premier industrial ambient act. (No, it is not a given that Iowa has no other industrial ambient act.) Actually I noticed the ID3 on one of the tracks indicated the genre is "Cabaret", so ignore what I just said. (No, it is not a given that Iowa has no other cabaret act. Look, people do live there. I don't know why, but they do.) From the album Outer America, which you can download in its entirety here. (Please note that all cheap shots at Iowa's expense are not the fault of Drone Sickness. They are the fault of Iowa.)
Drone Sickness and friends - You Cannot Take Yourself Apart

In other news, I'm sure you saw this on Boing Boing or Metafilter, but I wanted to bring your attention once again to The Original Sushi Pillow. I found out about this halfway through my wife's birthday fortnight (14 solid days of presents!), and worked with Mel to try to expedite delivery of a pillow. They were friendly and reliable, and Jen was exTREMEly happy with the pillow - mmm, squishy shrimp nigiri!
I also got her a fine little T-shirt. Nuff said.

Not sure I'd classify it as "cabaret", I think your first assessment hit it a little better on the head. But good stuff regardless.
I was racking my brains while listening to Cannot Take Yourself Apart because it sounds so much like another song -- so much so that I was simultaniously listening to both songs in my mind -- but I couldn't remember the band. I finally remembered the band and the song- Susan's House by Eels.
