Comes with the standard version of Imminent Doom and a special N64 Remix that I made for PAXAMANIA!










PATREON UPDATE!

Patrons will get the PAXAMANIA version of "Imminent Doom" free, along with this month's song.  I should have the new song, a "re-imagining" of a series of songs across artists in nerdcore, out by next week.

FRIDAY NIGHT MYSTERIES PRESENTS: DANGANRONPA EPISODE 5

You could hear me loudly going "UHHHHH" after everyone investigated the body closer and then FLIPPED THE FUCK OUT over what they found. When we found out more and it went from immature panicking to a little lesson on expression, gender roles and what true strength really is. I think it's meatier than Naoto in Persona 4, which is the same case as here, but with certain things inverted.

Good job, Danganronpa! You managed to not fuck it up and do something good!

JAM OF THE WEEK: "Cool For The Summer" by Demi Lovato

"Um, Spring isn't even here yet-"
SCREW YOU PERSON THAT DOESN'T EXIST!

I've been down in the dumps this past week, I needed a feel good song, and Demi Lovato's "Cool For The Summer" does the trick. When I have bills to pay and all this shit piling up, I just want 3 and a half minutes of Demi Lovato in Miami (?), spending a night where she dances her ass off, thirsts over some random guy (girl?) and wakes up wherever, pretending like there's no tomorrow, because tomorrow only offers reminders of how broke and shitty you are.

That riff though.

Ya Ya Ya It Is Status Quo Sunday

REGARDING OMNI EXPO
http://media.animecons.com/ConLogo/logo_C4317.png
Sadly, due to a familial obligation on the 10th, I will be unable to perform at Omni Expo this year.

I was glad to see it change to a new location last year, and I've seen it grow since Year One, however, something came up. Hopefully I can play again next year!

UNSTABLE ON YOUTUBE!


FRIDAY NIGHT MYSTERIES PRESENTS: DANGANRONPA EPISODE 4


OK, this is so much better paced than the first chapter, now that the premise has been introduced and things are opening up. Next week begins all the detective work!

If you think I'm lying about Danganronpa being Socialist:


After all, it's about a group of people cooperating in the face of a system that rewards exploiting your fellow man and getting away with it for profit. Only, in Danganronpa, the Justice System actually kinda works.

JAM OF THE WEEK: "Green Light" by Lorde

OK, if you told me that I'd be hype over a Lorde song, I'd say your were crazy. She made her name with the dour "Lorde: and "Team", and both while a little too slow paced for my liking, were still excellently performed and produced.

What I like Lorde for is that she includes all of these little details that add up to a really shitty overall picture.

"I've never seen a diamond in the flesh" or "I do my makeup in someone else's car" are "Like, Whatever Lady" statements on their own, but more of them together paint a picture. It's not "So stupid it sticks in my head and I have no choice to turn it over in my head" like Fall Out Boy or utterly specific with details like the chorus to "Closer" or "Before He Cheats", bu I think it works, especially when there's nothing else in the song to distract you, and you have to hang on every word.

"YA YA YA I AM LORDE" this song is not!

Status Quo Screw It Janelle Monae

BONUS SONG FOR PATRONS

I'm working on a track for PAXAMANIA IV, and as per tradition, I'm N64-ifying one of my old songs. Which song, you'll have to wait for it, but...

It's coming out free with March's Patreon song!

For everyone else, it'll be the same deal as with "Fire In The Hole" where you can get both versions of the song for a dollar. 

FRIDAY NIGHT MYSTERIES PRESENTS: DANGANRONPA EPISODE 3


NOW we're talking! I was kind of spoiled on this first mystery before hand, but I guess they made it easy enough so that you can KIND of guess who did it. I enjoy this more "active" way of handling the court cases in Phoenix Wright.

JAM OF THE WEEK: "Make Me Feel" by Janelle Monae


EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP WE HAVE ALL BEEN BLESSED WITH NEW MUSIC AND APPARENTLY PRINCE CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD.

She seems a lot rougher on these new tracks she put out the other day. Not production wise, because it sounds slicker than ever, but how much she's willing to reveal about herself and open up.

I'm still not sure if "Dirty Computer" is the supposed to be the next set in The Metropolis Saga, but I'm there either way.
