Just a quick update: heard a great 20s music concert here in Davenport IA tonight. Not usually my kind of music, but the band played exceptionally. It was super fun. Videos to come later…
UPDATE: Video!

I heard it in a Chipotle
I was eating in a Chipotle last weekend and heard this, faintly under the din of voices and people munching on kick ass burritos. As a fan of rock, I had to see if it was for real, and it is.
Favorite Video Game Music
Just thought I would jot down the names of some of my favorite video game songs and/or whole games with great music:
- Super Mario Bros. – NES: Main Theme. Need I say anything.
- M.C. Kids – NES: The thing that’s really cool about this game is how cleverly they -engineered- the music, along with the creativity that went into making the music fit the game and sound really memorable. My favorite here can be heard in level 4 of Ronald’s Clubhouse, or on track 6 in the NSF file from the game.
- Megaman 3 – NES: The whole game has awesome f***ing music, but Magnet Man in particular is great.
- Dr. Mario – NES: Fever. Catchy Tune
- Final Fantasy 7 – PS1/PC: Gold Saucer Music
I really dislike ocremix.org.
Once upon a time, a long time ago, my co-workers and I submitted Leaded Mario Brothers to ocremix.org twice, and both times were rejected. They said it was too much like the original, the production was bad, and that we should get a real drummer. All I can say is:
- Did they not hear the guitar solo that takes up half the song?
- There are plenty of songs on ocremix.org with worse production
- Half of the songs on ocremix.org use sampled drums and electronic kits.
Everyone I have had listen to the song loves it, including a guy who
plays in a band professionally. The ocremix.org people are stupid.
