What do you get when you mix vaudeville cabaret, the blues and a bit of voodoo, well you get Jo Carley and the Old Dry Skulls.
I really love this song, its the type of music that I could picture myself shaking to in a dark smoky back alley club.
Its kind of syrupy and wonderful to listen to and you can so easily tap your foot to the beat!
This weekend we took a trip to Cornwall, to see my baby brother Daniel get married.
He and Chelsea make a wonderful couple, they share two amazing little girls and seeing them make that lifelong commitment was very special.
Daniel has grown into a wonderfully well rounded young man, and is a fantastic father, I could not be more proud of who he has become.
Chelsea is an absolutely darling woman and such a good match for Daniel, I honestly cannot say enough good things about this wonderful couple.
We stayed at their house, where we took up the job of cat sitting Boo and Sully as well as Ki Ki and Nacho, Chelsea’s mums dogs.
So that was fun and cost saving! But it did mean we could take an extra day to stay in Cornwall, see some sights and spend a bit of time with the girls.
It’s a long distance between us, on the way down we stayed over in Cheltenham, and on the way back we stayed in Nottingham so I could make a brief visit to Warhammer World.
We had breakfast there and then made the journey back to Durham.
I only had a couple of days before I went off to Cornwall.
But I did manage to get painted up a trio of Heavy Weapons Teams for my Death Korps of Krieg, all with Heavy Bolters.
I then finished off a unit of Necron Warriors, Scarabs and Hasmoteph the Resplendent for my Sautekh Dynasty.
And finally I managed to get a Knight Warden for House Taranis finished up, that really just needed it’s transfers as I had been working on it for a while.
So what will I be starting on when I return home?
Still working on Triptych by Jaleigh Johnson, but I am almost finished with it now.
Not much, mostly just the odd game of Halo: The Master Chief Collection Multiplayer to get the points for the Microsoft Rewards scheme.
In Warhammer World today, me and Lindsay played a game of Combat Arena, Lindsay beat me very easily!
The latest Warhammer Imperium battle reports is out, this time for issue 8.
And I also got the next episode of Edge of Empire uploaded.
Nowt right now, but I have been told that Orlog is on its way.
And the Avatar Legends campaign is going to have delayed shipping due to a cardboard and paper shortage.
Not a sausage!
I grabbed a can of Leadbelcher spray and a Warhammer World Exclusive Armoured Troll for Blood Bowl on my visit to Warhammer World on Monday.
I also grabbed Star Trek: Elite Force 2 from GOG, and a couple of Iron Harvest DLC, Rusviet Revolution and Operation Eagle on Steam.
This punk parody of Somewhere Under The Rainbow is just great, a little bit retro, a little bit comedy and all horror punk!
And sometimes horror punk is what you need isn’t it, damn I wish I had been alive for the height of proper punk, but these guys are a real idea of that that was like.
Its still too soon, its always going to be too soon for this!
Another Firefly inspired song, well Serenity, the movie, but this still hurts, it hurts so much!
When I first heard this I groaned, there are so many puns, its a great song, but you will groan!
Originally another Meri Amber song was to occupy this spot, but its not widely available, so I have brought in this excellent song from her Origin Story album.
Its a rather sad song really and is about losing interest in a relationship and allowing it to fall apart all around you.
Its a very singable tune though and really does show off the talent that Meri has in spades!
Sometimes you need a good but of chiptune and here is an excellent song by Professor Shyguy.
I am not sure what else to say about this, buts is a fun tune very much inspired by the RPGs of the 3rd and 4th generation of consoles.
Its an excellent song and really gets your blood pumping.
Sometimes taking an old song and rewriting it can get you something amazing, and this parody of Under the Sea from The Little Mermaid is amazing.
This song is from way way back, 1999 specifically, a time in which I was heavily involved in PC gaming, way more than I am now, heading off to LAN parties in Ipswich and London and this was a song we played quite a bit.
Its just filled with what now we would consider retro, which makes me feel far far too old now!
Also really do look into Toms music, he is one of the giants of the world of filk and has a ton of amazing songs, he is one performer I would really love to see live!
This song by nerdy comedian Mikey Mason, really reminds me of the great DnD games I used to play as a kid with my old group, until we went our separate ways for university. But yeah this is such a relevant song, and makes me see the days when I was a Bard attempting to slay a dragon with a lute and a few poems!
Its a great song, and I absolutely love how it makes me feel, my polycule wants to start an RPG session soon, and they are looking at me to GM, so that is something I need to do in the new year!
Anyway, what do you guys think of the song, I really like it and if you had a childhood like mine, I think you will too!
I have also brought my painted tally up to 1105 models painted for the year.
The Abhorrent Ghoul King on a Royal Terrorgheist was my first painted model of the month and that completed this resolution.
This month I managed to find the Macrotek Enginseer, they were among a bunch of 40K Adeptus Mechanicus stuff.
Anyway they got built and painted leaving me with only the Warhound Titan to build, and given the trip for my brothers wedding and other issues, I cannot see myself being able to finish this 🙁
This month I got this resolution complete by painting the Ambul and Borewyrm Infections and the Archivist.
So as we are now a week into the month, what’s left on my painting queue?
