Found this on my recommended YT feed as I was listening to Rise and Inner Universe both by Origa which are the intro themes for Ghost in the Shell: SAC 2nd Gig and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex respectively. I didn't know this was the title of this song which is played during SAC's ending credits. I wonder if it's about Motoko "The Major" Kusanagi because if so I agree lol, I'd simp for her like this song, her and VV from Vampire: The Masquerade; Bloodlines lol

Because sometimes you need to get back to your cultural roots.

I’m certain I’ve shared this before. But this is a song that appeared on a GW In-Store compilation CD at more or less the exact point I started to Right The Ship of my life.

See, at that point I was genuinely, completely, homeless. And working one day a week at my local GW. As fate would have it, that situation of course meant I was hanging around my local, for want of anywhere better to be. Area Manager was in, stressing another store in his area couldn’t open at the weekend as all the staff had quit or been sacked.

As I’m sure you can appreciate, I spotted an opening and absolutely went for it. And everything I now have around 12 years later is a direct result of that precise moment in time.

And so whilst this song isn’t really that descriptive of my experience? It’s the one that sticks in my head.

Kicking it a bit 90’s/00’s Old School, though I’d firmly debate this being old, because perspective.




And if you don’t like it, you can kiss my 90’s/00’s bunghole. BUNGHOLE!

This last month or two found me rereading GIJOE comics and get a copy of the role playing game. We might give it a go. Hopefully we will.
The comics are so much better than I remembered.
Not sure how I stumbled onto this but "it's that fire. "
Most of the tracks covering characters are dead on. And, if you want a copy it's name your own price. I don't know who this artist is, well hadn't heard of him until yesterday.

GIJOE fans might enjoy this album.

Well i am not a fan of rap i do appreciate the nostalgia as a child of the 80s.

That's fair. I'm very picky about the rap I listen to. I did love that so many cool plat points were included. One thing I love aboutthe comics is that every character gets a chance to stand out and be cool. Some times it's completely unexpected. This was just fun.

I binge-watched the entirety of Cyberpunk: Edgerunner, and by frig, did I enjoy it. The beginning credits reminded me about the excellent song 'This Fire' by Franz Ferdinand. I always remembered 'Take Me Out', which is a great song in my eyes.




But this song was a surprise to me; it played a lot in the last episode. Usually, this kinda song doesn't appeal to me at all, especially the parts which distort her voice, but I really liked it. I thought it was original to Edgerunners but I see videos of this song on YT over a year old. I had no idea about it as I always listen to the Moro Rock station when driving around. I feel the line especially:

"And I'm awarе that you were lying in the gutter
'Cause I did everything to be there by your side-ide"

New arrivals time!

got both on the same day in fact-

ARCH ENEMY-deceivers




BLIND GUARDIAN- the god machine




It has been a pretty fantastic year for metal, i have 3 more new albums on the way to make my total for the year 13 so far.

Add on for another new release-

35th anniversary album from SEIKIMA II

Over the last few days I've listened to one song on repeat a few times a day.
The band is call Chromatics The song is "there's a light on the horizon (Instrumental version ) from their album Kill for love.
It has that late 70's Zombie movie sound, almost Dawn of the Dead in a way.

It's helped me stay in focus while working on pictures from my brother book. It's a little bleak start before the characters encounter some zombies on an island so it totally works for me. I only found out about this band because of Twin Peaks, season 3 I think.
Sadly they've broken up.

Remembering some old friends from the motor-pool this morning.




And a band I had never heard of until a Mercenary Monday video popped up.
The video used the lase couple of minuets of the song and again I though this would work really well in an old 70's Zombie movie, where everybody dies kinda movie. it was probably some kind of filter effect on the sound in that video that gave me the thought.

I'll probably nip that for a ringtone at some point.

More new arrivals time-

GRAVE DIGGER

They just keep chuggin along-album #21




The HU band-Mongolian folk metal.

I forgot to do this on the 31st-

The Halloween playlist-
















And the entire horror show album-




Oops silly me, cannot believe i forgot this one.

You'll need a cigarette after Ms. James finishes the set.

New arrival time-
Tobias sammet's (EDGUY) solo project Avantasia has a new album out.

If anyone is interested in pop trivia, here’s the shortest record ever to break the U.K. Top 40.




Dawn of the Dead will never be the same again. Cursed or enhanced, I don’t care

And some stone cold classic glam.




I’ve heard many versions of this, and without the clarinet it’s just not the same.

I just finished listening to the Eisenhorn trilogy (again) and maaaaan I love those books so much lol what gets to me every time is...

Have I shared this before? Who knows. Not I. Who cares? Not I.

Some Toy Dolls, my musical downfall, for your lugholes.




Seen these lads live. Well, Olga and his current line up. Best gig of my life by a country mile, and I’ve seen Skunk Anansie.

One of the most beautiful and amazing character themes or leitmotifs in a video game or any media I've ever heard up there with Guts' theme from the 1997 anime.

This level of piano playing is insane!

I've been listening to this all day on repeat. Aphex Twin - Alberto Balsalm
Been solid for my out doors work today. Just cleaning overgrowth off some fencing, nothing too strenuous. A good track helps.

I love this video, it fit the move really well I think. I did see this video before I ever saw this movie, both are gold.

Always a sucker for Silva Hound’s fan songs

Looks like I'm hooked on MGMT. All it took was one track in a silly video and I had to hear more.

It's a little funny because of all they years I've been into metal, industrial and who knows what else. But it is col to find music that's musically interesting.

Been listening to the excellent audiobook version of Armour of Contempt, read by his awesomeness, Toby Longworth. But now, listening to this.

I just finished listening to the audio drama version of HP Lovecraft's story, The Dreams in the Witch House, by the HP Lovecraft Historical Society, and it was excellent. It makes me think of the episode of "The Dreams of the Witch House" from Guillermo Del Toro's Netflix horror anthology Guillermo Del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities and how it butchered the story...badly and completely squandered the great potential the story had for some amazing landscapes and vistas that could've been conveyed visually. Shouldn't be surprised as it was directed by the director of the 1st Twilight movie. Oh well, at least the episode based on Pickman's Model was better and truer to the work. But that really isn't saying much, in all honesty.

I've been listening to Industrial society and its future. - 1995

It's worth a listen. The one I found is just over 3 hours.


And more fun was this. But I have not found part two yet.

And Elric or Melnibone story.

“All I Want” – Joni Mitchell

Dawn of War II and Dawn of War have awesome music! Think of listening to "For the Craftworld" next time I work on my Eldar minis.

Haiduk - Sea of Fire
