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?
Regular readers will know how much I love The Doubleclick, and well its no surprise I am featuring them in this years advent!
I also rather love that rock music of the late 90s/early 00s that I grew up with, so when The Doubleclicks covered it, well its been a staple of my playlists for a long time.
And the video for it is so very cute and delightful
How about a nice little ditty by the PDX Broadsides, a wonderful nerd trio from Portland, surprisingly!
They make some great pop folk music about geek stuff and topics they love, like science and superheroes.
They are an eclectic bunch and that really comes across in their music!
Two days in a row with something that has problematic stuff, not the song, not the artist, but what’s its based on.
I love Harry Potter, but I detest the author and frankly there are a ton of problematic issues with the books themselves from the anti-Semitism of the goblin bankers to the dreadful way characters from ethnic minorities are portrayed.
But this song is good, Hank Green is a fantastic podcaster, musician and science communicator with a passion for science that benefits the environment, his stuff is really well worth checking out, as he is an amazingly passionate creator.
But I have to make this point, trans rights are human rights, and JK Rowling is the queen of TERFs and the Harry Potter fanbase deserves better than her.
Instead of buying official Harry Potter merchandise, donate to Trans charities, buy knock offs or read some amazing fan fiction instead.
Jayne, the man they call Jayne!
Most of us nerds are huge Firefly fans, and Jayne is absolutely a fan favourite, not so much the actor, he turned out to be an utter prick, as did the shows creator, but sigh, we still love the show for the rest of the cast.
Marian Call is a fantastic artist based in Juneau, Alaska (which prompts me to consider another song to add to this list, but that might slip into next year), and I love her music, its quirky, geeky and very cool.
And this song is about Jayne the cunning man of the Verse!
Oh Aquaman, he really is the last hero most people think of when it comes to the Justice League, despite the Jason Momoa movie!
This song is a lovely little ditty from Mark Aaron James, a nerdy rock performer from out of New York who makes some amazing and introspective nerd rock songs.
And yeah its a lot of fun cause its Aquaman wondering why isn’t loved as much as Batman!
A risqué one to start us off this year, so much so in fact you can’t even have this song on YouTube cause its too rude!
Eastend Cabaret are a London based duo, and this song just makes me chuckle so much. Its on their 2015 album Perverts.
Look you really need to listen to this song, its just laugh out loud, just not when the bairns are around!!!
