Expo 86

Is my favorite Death Cab song :)

I am waiting for that sense of relief
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
As you held in your hand the smoking gun
and on the floor lay the one you said you loved

and it's strange they're all basically the same
so I don't ask names anymore


(I wish) :)

miss misery

love this song so much

ballad of big nothing

another great song.

I can't just put up embedded youtube vids here for every song cause I don't want to slow down your computer. Go to this song here :) The whole album is it from is awesome.
i came for the house and the children...i let it all slip through my hands...i feel like a weight has been lifted and nothing can matter to this man
i came for the car and the vacuum. spinning my wheels into the void
i see now my ship it has come in
but it was a joke there is nothing aboard
i came for the love and the action
there I go slipping off of the sword
i feel like a chain reaction
and is it me, or is it the world?

PRICK

accidents won't happen
if you never leave your home.
keep that soul like a thoroughbred,
the first one will let it roam.
your mind will snap, it can't be held back.
imagination's a mother.
time is flowing red.
what's it like?
riverhead.

Top 10 Doom Clones

With the obvious omission of Hexen, a good list. Rise of the Triad was a great game, and of course Duke3D :) I'm eager to try the port of Doom to Rockbox when my Sandisk e250 comes in the mail, in a few days :)

another plug

HINOIチーム

This band is awesome. Talk about a band to get your dopamine flowing, it's just so awesome. I know they aren't for everyone. In fact my fav song by them isn't on youtube at all, have to think about a way to put it up. :) But then I just listen to another great song by them and wonder why it isn't there too. Anyways, you have to kudos to the producers on this one, they have done a above par #1 super great job on this band.

I dunno, she always catches me by surprise. I dunno how to describe her songs, just very joyful, very intense, yet very emotional. I guess closest other band would be Portishead, yet in a very old, completely alive garden. Very triphop, yet very mysterious, and real. I enjoy her, I'll fix her songs one of these days. My Japanese songs take extra time. I make the file name romanized Japanese, but I want as close to the offical names with correct letters in my tags. There is never enough time, I always want to listen to and enjoy! you know

meshuggah like

The Dillinger Escape Plan

These guys are very solid. They are the band closest in sound to Meshuggah I've found yet, and I did set out for a few days looking for some bands to compare Meshuggah to. I ended up deciding it was impossible. Meshuggah really do stand out. Straight hardcore math metal? But very brutal? I highly highly recommend Meshuggah's new album, obZen. For me, only took a couple listens to get to where you are listening to a different song every time you come back, ah on a week to week basis. I think it's my favorite Meshuggah album, to be honest. But give Dillinger Escape Plan a chance, they stand on their own, definitely are not Meshuggah.. very good too! Heard a song by a somewhere local little band that was just utterly awesome, so fast an intricated and live, in vein of math metal....it was on youtube but I have no idea how to find them again. This kind of music can be the most relaxing music ever :)

talk about getting peed on

Here is a great interview with the author of the game of solitaire that has been packaged with how many billion overpriced versions of malware the great operating system, windows, since forever. You know what is awesome? He never got any royalties at all :) This is a great read!

master's apprentices

I'm getting to where I am enjoying Opeth's live versions immensely. This song is just bliss.

x japan

'Til the loneliness shadows the sky
I'll be sailing down and I will know
I know I can clear clouds away
Oh Is it a crime to love

Swing the heartache
Feel it inside out
When the wind cries
I'll say goodbye
Tried to learn Tried to find
To reach out for eternity
Where's the answer
Is this forever

Life Sword Armory

My good friend Seth recently started a new webpage, just look at it, he's kicked ass. Lots of great reading in here.

best song

There is no forgiveness in these eyes
For any of you but one
Dispel the mist for now
Melinda is the reason why I've come

Checkers

Been playing a lot of checkers, mostly against an A.I. I hadn't played for years and years and years...used to play some chess, hadn't realized just how easy it is to get smoked in checkers. I was playing some guy earlier and somehow after all my plotting he jumped 3 of my dudes to get a King. Anyways, anyone is welcome to challenge me to a game anytime, or even chess (although even way more rusty in that...I used to be decent). Found this website after deciding I needed some hints and tips.

The Seatbelts

These guys put together like 8 albums of music, for the anime Cowboy Bebop. The anime really rocked, not going to get into that here, but here's a few links of their music for you. "Is it real?" has literally tripped me out a few times, like I was completely sober yet felt like...I dunno can't really describe.

call me, call me, live..perfect :)

the real folk blues, live. Great song, didn't see it being great soundtrack to a firefight :) I'm that dude playin his trombone.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=mD83P-vn5JI

is it real? warning this vid has SPOILERS to series. Big ones. But has the song in it's entirety. I don't know what it was, but like I remember clearly just after I moved in here and was walking up the stairs, and this song stopped me dead in my tracks, like a trance.

TMBG

Hey They Might Be Giants have so so many great songs, but this one is special to me, for some reason. Just tickles my neurotransmitters the right way I guess :) They have so many great songs I'd like to post, but can save for another day. Talk about fantastically talented musicians!

And we sense the danger
But don't wanna give up
'Cause there's no smile of an angel
Without the wrath of god

This octopus didn't care the hole was only 1 inch wide, he's GETTING OUT of there hehe

is sortof how I feel now, going wow finally

if octopus had dopamine attachment to being in box I mean.

that story

Remembered name of story. Unfortunately my collection of Arthur C. Clarke stories is one of those books from the past, hope it didn't get thrown away :) My favorite story by him is called "Dog Star". Just always left me with such a profound feeling of existance, how wonderful and gloriously lucky it is to be alive. I gotta order this collection when I get some extra cash. I really liked that story about Ambrosia too heh, as it's more than a little twisted. That and I gotta dig out "The City and the Stars" when I tackle that big box, that book always made me feel awestruck, just carrying it around or touching it. It's funny what you remember sometimes. R.I.P. Mr. Clarke

wow

As if I didn't have enough things to do already...I just discovered the true glory of google reader.

Talk about overwhelming. That's my new favorite word. Pretty much sums up my perception of this universe.

:)

band I am really digging tonight

Forgotten hopes
Anathema

Hey you rotting in your alcoholic shell
Banging on the walls of your intoxicated mind
Do you ever wonder why you were left alone
As your heart grew colder and finally turned to stone

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Don't you ever dream of escaping...

Pathetic oblivion
Forgotten hopes buried in your soul's lonely grave
Pathetic oblivion
Remember how you were before you locked your heart away

Did I punish you for dreaming?
Did I break your heart and leave you crying?
Do you ever dream of escaping...
Don't you ever dream of escaping?

Prick

excellent :)

Makebelieve
Prick
When you were young
Was there a time called one day
You would know all there was to know
If you survive
All of those girls around you
You carry their books they carried your mind
Make believe
That nothing is wrong
Make believe
Your going somewhere
Live your dream
So take it slow
And if you lose your way
Remember the moment you began
Fall back on your word
Heaven forbid your entry
A minor guilt complex dissolves
Make believe nothing is wrong
Make believe you've got something to say
Live your dream
(and never stop)
And nothing can matter to this man
Wish away all I know
Heaven is calling out
The easiest access to the crowd
I came for the house and the children
I let it all slip threw my hands
I feel like a weight has been lifted
And Nothing can matter to this man
I came for the car and the vacuum
Spinning the wheels into the void
I feel like my ship it has come in
But it was a joke - there's nothing aboard

great band

I always have found the relationships between all the neurotransmitters in your head very fascinating. I've always found dopamine to be my favorite.
