How long has it been since we got a Song of Ice and Fire book, and will George R. R. Martin complete the series in his lifetime, and will it wipe out the disappointment of the last season of Game of Thrones!
That is exactly what Paul & Storm are asking here
Its been a couple of years since our good friend Aurelio Voltaire was featured and still, he is hard to classify, he really does transcend genres!
Oh and Paul likes him after I introduced him!
STUPIDLY FORGOT TO HIT THE PUBLISH BUTTON SO THIS IS A DAY LATE
Flight of the Conchords, formally New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo, somehow have managed to not be featured here before, and I am rectifying this today!
This song Robots imagines a future in which all the humans are dead and the robots have taken over the world, and well with the development of AI, this might really happen sooner rather than later!
I grew up in the UK so Nintendo wasn’t really a big thing for us other than the Game Boy, the first Nintendo I personally owned was a Nintendo 64 for Goldeneye!
So my first exposure to Zelda was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which I did enjoy, but I didn’t have the same attachment to it as people who grew up with the series.
But the series has grown on me with subsequent releases, though I still have Breath of the Wild on my to play list.
So this song doesn’t quite hit all the nostalgia bits for me, but its still fun to listen to!
This duo is best known for Pac-Man Fever, both the song and album, which were possible the first video game songs to really go mainstream back before I was even born!
This song was written and recorded for the amazing Disney film Wreak It Ralph which was such a joy to watch with all of its amazing video game references.
The overall soundtrack from the film is utterly amazing, Henry Jackman really captures the Chiptune lighting in a bottle.
If you have never seen Wreak It Ralph, I urge you to go do so now, drop everything you won’t regret it!
This is a wonderful song, that really hits me at times of sadness and happiness, its weird how it just fits those two moods exactly the same.
Steam Powered Giraffe are a great Steampunk band that have been around since 2008 and have a fantastic mythology for the bands backstory that has been expanded into comic books written by Isabella Bunny Bennett one of the bands founders.
Right now I am feeling very sad, one of our cats Douggie is booked in at the vets for his last trip tomorrow and this is helping me process my feelings about it
Another mainstream one today (I promise not to make a habit of it), and this is from Lindsay’s favourite movie, Flash Gordon.
Obviously its by the incredible Queen and its the title song, and lets be honest, this is a massive banger and the whole album is in fact!
The first mainstream band of this year, Weezer are one of those bands that wear their geekiness on their sleeve!
This song is a cover of the A-Ha classic, from the Teal Album and accompanied by an amazing 80s inspired video, which has loads of cool 80s pop culture nods!
I am a big fan of The Mary Sues, an excellent trio who mix Irish bouzouki and keytar which is pretty cool!
Anywhere here is a really cool song about a DnD character that most players can relate to!
A sound of my childhood here with D-Rok a Warhammer Records band that made songs about 40k that were championed by Brian May of all people!
Brian May even contributed to two of their songs too, after meeting them in a Games Workshop store with his son.
But yeah even though they only released one album, it was a banger, and this is the opening track!
Its not really avaiable anywhere right now, but I am sure you can hunt down a copy of Oblivion somewhere, I am surprised it hasn’t been rereleased after being used in the Boltgun game this year!
