Wacky Hijinks Ensue

There is no use crying
over every mistake.
You just keep on trying
'til you run out of cake.
There are experiments to run;
there is research to be done
on the people who are
Still Alive.

So I've been in an odd mood lately and been going through the mounds of stuff on my computer that I haven't even looked at in who-knows-how-long. Something I found that I'd almost completely forgotten about was a fanmix album entitled "Tomorrowland" for Jericho, that shining piece of what-could-have-been.

...sigh...

Anyhoo, someone on the Television Without Pity board put together an album of music that evokes/ed the show and characters. It's shockingly good and I've found myself playing the entire 18 song "album" several times since then. It's MUCH more country than my normal tastes, but it's more old-school country than pop-country, which I think is more the style that I don't care much for.

I'm glad I refound this. :-) If anyone asks, I'll post a yousendit link to individual songs or the whole album.

Something old (& funny):
Happy Fun Ball! (damn thing won't embed right...)

Something new (& amazing):


Something borrowed (& adorable):


Something blue (& bizarre):

I'm not quite sure why, but lately I've been listening to more computer game music. Not just the originals, either, but remixes too.

Specifically, I'm listening to music from the Fallout series, something from one of the Dune games and a neat remix based on GLaDOS from Portal.

Got some other weirdness on my playlist too: Blue Oyster Cult, The Turtles, Rasputina, Cake, Metisse, Oingo Boingo, etc.

In related news, I need a music icon.

Edit: Speaking of Fallout, I didn't realize that the trailer for Fallout 3 was released this summer. I'm of mixed feelings about this because YAY! MORE FALLOUT, but frankly, I SUCK at FPS and I'm really annoyed that virtually every game I might like is following that style. Anyhoo, here's the trailer:

( Ron Perlman for the win! )

...Still Alive?

First, a couple of YouTube vids:

( 'Hey Ya' cover by Matt Weddle of Obadiah Parker )

( 'Drifting' by Andy McKee )

Next, some new (to me, anyway) Lemon Demon songs:( 4 song links )

Next, a treat for National Drunk Irishmen St. Patrick's Day: ( 7 song links )

Finally, some random songs: ( 5 song links )

Note that all YSI links are temporary and will likely expire after a week (around March 6).

Why yes, I do have odd musical tastes. Why do you ask?
