While driving home today, and aimlessly browsing around the dregs of radio that inhabit this province, I happen to stubble on this tune that I had heard off and on over the years. Unlike most times, the radio personality actually bothered to say who it was instead of blathering on about useless crap or slapping straight to commercial (which is why I wish I could remember what the station was, as they deserve kudos.).

I was never a big fan of the whole fantasy based literature that was out there. From the bit that I was exposed too, it always struck me as being very fake and vapid, almost to the point of being compared to cheesy romance novels in its writing abilities. Add the whole “those kind of books will make you a devil worshipper!” BS that the area I resided in seem to subscribe too, and you can see why quality literature in this genre would be hard to come by. In fact until my teens the closest that I would come to reading something in that genre would have been Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth, which in my opinion is the best novel of his works that I’ve read so far, but it’s not really a fantasy novel per say. If a classification were to be made, I’d put it more as historical fiction, as the main characters are purely fictional, but the world that they exist in was very real. Continue reading
It’s a catchy tune, and makes you want to go to the coasts and groves that used to dot the world doesn’t’ it. And yet another example of my statement found at this article from a bit ago. For those interested, enjoy.
For the last few weeks I’ve been browsing around Youtube, taking in the new (at least to me) feature of video suggestions, where youtube somehow takes the videos that you view and suggests some others that you mind find interesting. While most of the ones suggested are the useless chaod that seems to infest youtube, there’s a surprising amount of stuff on there that is both good and yet not well known.
For example, I found this tune by JunkieXL thanks to the suggestion service on youtube
Now it doesn’t hurt that I was listening to JunkieXL’s “Beauty Never Fades” when used as part of an EVE trailer earlier in the week, which is probably how it linked the two together, but it’s not the first time that its’ found me some decent tunes that I never knew existed. Honestly I’m not a big fan of electronic tunes (yes I am an apparently typical North American), outside of my old road trips down to Montreal, but JunkieXL is starting to grow on me. This is just another thumbs up for recommending his tunage, and I’m anticipating that I’ll find more diamonds in the rough as the day go on.
And for those interested, the aforementioned “Beauty never fades”, because I cant’ resist pimping what is IMO the thinking person’s RPG.
Apparently this is not a valid goal.
Like baseball, if the puck hits the ref, it’s considered dead and no longer in play. Too bad for Carolina I suppose.
For example this…
And the tune is well done as well. Wish I could take credit for this one, as I think it’s well done, but it’s the folks at Aniboom that created this and many others like it. Should check them out.
….fifty years ago.
For those that ne parle pas francais….ya…sorry….that’s all I could find.
