I never liked Good Charlotte, but for some frigging reason I liked this song. So I'm listening to it again. It doesn't help in this video that the singer seemed like an utter black hole of charisma, in all honesty.
Found this on YouTube and thought the song's title seemed familiar, so I clicked it and yeah, I've heard it and quite liked it, too! This music couldn't be any more 90's, lol.
Man, I love this AMV, it got me into Rise Against years ago. Prayer of the Refugee is also one of the perfect "theme songs" for Attelus Kaltos from Secret War.
It's the Holy Grail of music, people! I have finally found it! The music video that has Jimmy Barnes screaming in the sky like some great god-like being! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Its such a weird song... The way the singers stand looks unnatural, and they randomly switch to screaming sky-giant, then lose all the energy by immediately dropping back to softly softly grumpy lyrics rather than springboarding into something a bit more dramatic. Best kept as a meme-background methinks

It is bizarre, isn't it? So much so, I was literally yelling at my laptop when watching it "is this a joke"? Because that was the only logical explanation for it, and I'm pretty sure it is. Especially after reading the bios of the "characters" in the outro. Not my cup of tea, either, the best thing (beside Jimmy Barnes' magnificent shrieking) Is the woman's god-like whistling. I wish I could whistle even half as well as her (assuming it isn't faked, of course)
...having grown up with a ZX Spectrum with just a single channel beeper, tunes like this were mindblowing back in the day. A trip to an arcade was like experiencing the video games of the future.
For when you know someone is gonna get their heid kicked in.
Fun fact? Probably about…..16, maybe 18 years ago I was working in an opticians in a shopping centre in a Very English Town. Bored on my lunch break wandered across to HMV, found this album, and had to buy it.
A town so English the locals get upset when you confuse it with a similarly named town up the road, and very upset when you don’t include “Royal” in the town’s name. Despite it having long since started turning in a proper pretentious dump in deep denial.
Quite heavy on the phonk:aggressive phonk vibe recently, in car and while working. While i don't really listen to the lyrics because I find them downright despicable in most instances, the aggressive, staccato and heavy sound it runs on is absolutly peerless.
Possibly the coolest tune in the history of humanity...
And in other news I've spent a little time discovering the Harmonica, and the following are what inspired me to take up the underrated musical marvel...
...but especially this scene in Ralph Bakshi's American Pop...
...which really is a tragically overlooked musical odyssey. And omg does anyone remember Fuzzbox?
Yup! I remember as an 80s child being very snobbish about the them; I'd declare that International Rescue was silly in an attempt to save face...but deep down I thought they were fun!
I was taking a day to organize my game room and in the process i decided to take an album count of all my CD albums-
Metal/rock albums English language-674
Metal/rock albums Japanese/Korean/other-213
movie soundtracks/folk/orchestra-50
anime soundtracks-252
total-1,189
No my mild OCD forces me to put them in alphabetical order by band and by release date(it is also the order i listen through the collection as well),.... and they are further broken down by section as my original post. all my anime soundtracks are cased together etc...
Re-listening to Ravenor Returned after having listened to Ravenor. While I don't like the Ravenor Trilogy as much as the Eisenhorn one. I do enjoy the books, I have problems with the 3rd one, but that's due to some personal biases than much else. I really like how the books give more character development to Harlon Nayl and Kara Swole, both characters I like immensely. I don't think it's a coincidence my two favourite characters in the Ravenor trilogy were originally from the Eisenhorn trilogy, lol.
Instead of re-listening to Ravenor Rogue I decided to re-listen to my favourite Gaunt's Ghosts novel Traitor General instead. I'm almost finished (I don't want it to end, lol) But I listened repeatedly to chapter 20 which plays out one of my favourite action sequences in perhaps all of fiction...
Spoiler:
Gaunt, Rawne and the others vs the Chaos Marines. What a great scene of underdog badassery. I can tell Toby Longworth is into it as his narration gets intense and has to be the best I've ever heard him narrate.
Because of me listneing to phonk prior spotify flooded me with Saliva grey's dark trap and I actually came to like it. My music tastes deteriorate a hypersonic speed lol.
Finished listening to Ghostmaker and now onto Necropolis. I took the liberty of listening to the Vincula Insurgency after the Voltimand short story of Ghostmaker as the novella is set after it.
It's a little confusing as when the short story ends the Ghosts are back on a ship and it's heavily implied it's almost soon after the victory of Voltis Gate. Also, Corbec only then just managing to find the soaked and destroyed licorice cigars in his jacket then when he had nine weeks to find it?
Also, a crap ton of continuity errors, Baffels is a sergeant in in when he wasn't promoted until the Vervunhive war. I also thought Milo was already Gaunt's adjutant? That's the danger of writing a prequel, I suppose.
Anyway, aside from that stuff, I really enjoyed the Vincula Insurgency and all the audiobooks.
We have ways of making you talk podcast. It’s like listening to two drunk guys in the pub, but with better provenance of their information.
Al Murray is quite engaging, and is very much not in his Pub Landlord persona. The historian guy is slightly annoying and wears his biases on his sleeve, it lots of interesting snippets and stories about WW2 that are not usually talked about.
I finished re-listening to Necropolis and I really understand why it's so many peoples' favourite novel in the series, it is very damned good. As I've mentioned too often now Traitor General is my favourite Gaunt's Ghosts book if not my overall favourite 40k book, but Necropolis is up there too. Now I'm listening to Honour Guard and just finished the Battle for Bhavnager and it has to be one of the best larger scale battle scenes in the series, the way the tank fight is described is so immersive and awesome.
I also wish we got more drunk Gaunt, I just enjoyed the scene with him like that quite fun. It's like I wished there was more of the military tribunal in His Last Command as I was enjoying that stuff a lot before we were whisked away back to the front lines.
Almost finished listening to The Guns of Tanith audiobook. It and Straight Silver are books in the series I have yet to review for my "Reviewing the Gaunt's Ghosts Books" thread so I might type up a review of it soon.
Due to rolling up my last Five Parsecs from Home Encounter and got a Secret Agent as the enemy teams' Unique Individual which reminded me of this classic song which I remember first hearing watching Austin Powers as a kid years back. The guitar riff at the beginning is pretty awesome. In the encounter I made the Secret Agent a woman instead of a man and she got shot off the board by one of my Crew Mates with a Hunting Rifle in the first round, though. So she didn't even begin to live up to being as awesome as this song made them out to be, maybe she was like this before having her head blown off in such an anti-climatic way, lol.

Many, many years ago, we had Al Murray perform at a GW managers meeting in Lenton. I know it's comedy, but I found him borderline racist and really didn't find him engaging or funny at all.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I'm currently listening to the 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' series in Audible. These are so much fun!
The apocalypse will be televised!
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.
In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.
The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.
Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style.
You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big.
You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.
They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.
@gtahamdbailey - Al Murray’s Pub Landlord persona is intended to be extremely jingoistic and massively racist, and that where the satire comes from. Al Murray himself is Definately not.
I was never a huge fan of bandmaid, i saw the NEK stuff before, a little to pop and groove for my taste. my current "newer" bands in that direction are more on the heavy side with rolling quartz, Aliz and of course bridear-
I saw a brief moment of this wonderful music video, as a child in the 1980s, and I think it was in an ITV advert for a compilation album of classical music. It was only yesterday night that it began auto-playing at random and my jaw dropped - I'd found it! And oh my god its also fab! Without further ado - I give you Rondo Veneziano playing La Serenissima...
Slapping together a Tau-themed "mod" for Lost Patrol and just at the right time my brother asked "do you remember this movie...?" and I thought "This looks familar...an asteroid prison...."
...Critters! OF COURSE! said M.Bison - and he's right! Might have been a Gremlins ripoff, but the intergalactic bounty hunters was where the series shined the most. And they were so ****ing cool! Shape-shifters who would take the form of a rockstar, a beauty model and even the local nerd. Then they allow a local bloke to join them in their intergalactic adventures!
While I have the 2nd edition of Lost Patrol, I was curious about the 1st which had counters instead of Genestealer models...and they were called "lurkers" but looked like Critters hiding in the undergrowth.
Anyway, this music video is ****ing ace and I'll be binge-watching all four movies this week.
Indeed! They're joined by Critters Attack! but also a web series called Critters: A New Binge, and a rather nifty "proof of concept" on Youtube called Critters: Bounty Hunter.
Special shout out to YT musician Dennis Pauna doing Type o negative cover versions..... of everything.....and sounding as good as Peter while doing it.
Yeah I found that TON-style cover of Enjoy The Silence the other day, it's awesome.
My brother performed at a goth festival a little while back. He bought me a couple of CDs of their headline act - one-man band Byronic Sex & Exile. From what I've heard so far he/they are very much at the old-school, dark romantic end of the goth spectrum. Worth a listen!

I saw these ladies play at a festival a few years back, and totally enjoyed the gig. Not my usual type of music but they were so entertaining and so much fun.
Been listening to a lot of symphonic metal lately like 2000s era Within Temptation. I'm 31 now and despite listening to metal since I was a teenager I never got into this genre until recently.

Working my way through DEATHs catalog at the moment. Started with The Sound of Perseverance, almost done with Human, next on to Individual Thought Pattern
One of those days. So it’s the John Williams’ Superman theme.
Not because I consider myself a superman. But because of that bit where the main refrain is repeated, ever more stringent, not once, not twice, but thrice.
If even Superman has to dig deep to double and then triple his efforts on a bad day? Why shouldn’t I?
We've inherited a lot of vinyl records over the years from various family members, and it struck me when I was rearranging the lounge room yesterday that there is a bit of stuff in there that I haven't got around to listening to, and in some cases have no idea what it's even like. So I'm taking advantage of having the house to myself for the weekend to start working through the collection from A to Z...
Currently listening to the Alan Parsons Project 'Pyramid' LP.

My dad recently got a whole swath of his old records and cassettes out of the roof where they'd been stashed for some years. We found some absolute ripper albums we'd all forgotten about. Lots of Australian rock/punk bands for the 70's/80's. It was really quite heartwarming to see my dad getting so excited about stuff he hadn't heard in probably close on two decades.
I have lots of very fond memories of listening to the Muppets and Monty Python records when I was a kid. I was even allowed to take one in to school for show-and-tell one day. It's amazed me even then that in the middish '90s so few kids knew what a record was.
I've been listening to Gyroscope. A fething awesome band from Perth. They were a band that I had heard a few of their songs over the years and never clicked with me. It wasn't until I heard them live for the first time about 3 years ago that I realised what I'd been missing.

I had some fun a few months ago reminiscing with a couple of old high school friends when I dug out a couple of cassettes that were more or less the soundtrack of our senior years (Crowded House and INXS, for anyone wondering). I have a crateload of old cassettes to sort through at some point - most are copies, and I'm not expecting them to have weathered the passing of 30-ish years particularly well - but the tape deck is currently out of action.
On the record front, I've reached the 'C's... and just discovered JJ Cale's 'Naturally' LP, which I had somehow never listened to before. The influence on Dire Straits is unmistakable. This one will go on high rotation, I think.
Was introduced to this from a Sseth Tzeentach video (can't remember which one, could've been his his Kenshi review, maybe?) Anyway, it's so delightfully cheesy, especially the monolog about the "monsters out there". Love it, lol.
May have shared this before. A grossly underrated and underknown band, who were active just before the Britpop boom of my yoof. And outside of Pulp, they knock all those bands into a cocked hat and no mistake.
Well after raiding the "family music collection" at my parents place the other week I came away with quite the excellent musical haul that I'd missed on previous excursions. Of particular note was a few excellent old English punk bands I'd been missing, which have now all gone on high rotation.
The highlights of which were The Vibrators Pure Mania, Angelic Upstarts We Gotta Get Outta This Place, Heavy Metal Kids self titled albums.
Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote: When clearing out Dad’s place, came across my Nevermind the Bullocks and Ace of Spades albums.
Nice find! Both great albums.
aphyon wrote: New album drop from the swiss folk metal band Eluveitie
Well, that's a bit different to other folk metal bands I listen to (Finntroll, Korpiklaani, etc.), and a bit more (not sure of the right word) harmonic, operatic or something, then I normally go in for, but I rather enjoyed it none-the-less. The female singer has quite a powerful voice.
Been listening to this absolute classic this morning. Woke up and knew it was how I needed to start my day. Had it playing before the kettle had finished boiling.
Eluviete are great. Ategnatos is one of my favourite albums. Some perfect musical moments and transitions in there. That eagle scream transition always gives me goosebumps
I began painting another mini of the main character, Anargrin, from my novel series, The Angaran Chronicles. He's basically a magically enhanced, elf James Bond in 1940'seque Diesel Punk/Fantasy setting. So I've been listening to this which is my favourite James Bond movie theme song, so much so I used it as the introduction music for my High Elf Prince character Alladhiir for a Warhammer Fantasy Battles RP arena event back on the long dead forum, Astronomicon dot com, years ago. Despite the fact the song doesn't fit Alladhiir at all, lol, good times! RIP Chris Cornell!
Tom Lehrer, noted mathematician, NSA spook, Harvard professor, humorist, song writer and singer recently passed.
Or as he put it...
I should like to introduce now the featured artist of this evening's... ordeal
I'm sure that you will all agree without any hesitation that Tom Lehrer is the
Most brilliant creative genius that America has produced in almost 200 years
So perhaps a few words of biographical background might not be amiss
Endowed by nature with perhaps the most glorious baritone voice to be heard
On an American stage since the memorable concert debut in 1835 of Millard
Fillmore; endowed also with twelve incredibly agile fingers; Mr. Lehrer has
Had a long and varied career in the field of entertainment starting with
Nine years at Harvard University..., where it was that he first decided to
Devote his life to what has since become a rather successful scientific
Project – namely, the attempt to prolong adolescence beyond all previous
Limits
Even before he came to Harvard, however, he was well known in academic
Circles for his masterly translation into Latin of "The Wizard of Oz"
Which remains even today the standard Latin version of that work. A few
Years ago he was inducted..., forcibly..., into the United States Army and
Spent most of his indenture in Washington as sort of Army liaison to the
Office of Navel Contemplation. About his service record he is justifiably
Modest, but it is known that in a short time he rose to the rank of brigadier
General. However, before he could acquire a tenure, he was discharged, and
Owing to nepotism and intrigue, he emerged with only the rank of specialist
3rd class, which was roughly equivalent to the rank of corporal without
Portfolio
But to return to his career in show business: For several years he toured
Vaudeville theaters with an act consisting of impressions of people in the
Last throes of various diseases. I'm sure that many of you here tonight still
Recall with pleasure his memorable diphtheria imitation. He is generally
Acknowledged to be the dean of living American composers, and is currently
Working on a musical comedy based on the life of Adolf Hitler
Without further ado – Tom Lehrer:
I learned that he put all his recordings and songs into the public domain and are available to download free from his site.
This is becoming one of my favourite songs on the Team America OST, lol.
I like rain, I like ham, I like you
You're around, you're right here
So, you'll do!
I wanna tell you how much I love your mind
But it simply isn't truuuue!
Only a woman!
Can brighten up my day
Only a woman!
Can touch me the right way
Yeah!
Only a woman is allowed to do what you're doing right now!
All I ask is that you're a woman!
Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, also, one of my favourite YouTubers released this a few weeks back. As far as I'm concerned he's horrendously under viewed and under subbed. He also bought a hardback copy of my novel The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside which was pretty damned cool!
Somehow I have only just, to my great bewilderment, discovered Killing Joke. A band which apparently just about every other listener of punk, hardcore, grunge, metal and sundry related genres already knew about. Everyone EXCEPT ME!
I've been listening to some Japanese music for a few years now, but I never really gave Ado a chance.
Her voice is insane. I'm not the biggest fan of her production, but her voice makes up for it.
Spoiler:
I also looked at Spotify's top monthly artists for the first time in ever and it is bizarre. I don't pay attention to mainstream Western music.
I'm pretty sure the top 10 were hitmakers 10 years ago
There's one name that I don't recognize out of the top 25.
Fleetwood Mac is like #53 still which is crazy to me even though I like them.

On the subject of Australian music though, have some Cosmic Psychos.
Definitely gotta provide a language warning for these two though. They're uh... not for those of a sensitive disposition.
Dreamcasters in the house say yoooooooo! Or not. That is so 1980s, so maybe just listen to this instead...
