Status Quo Sunday STARTS A REVOLUTION

LESS THAN 20 DAYS UNTIL MOMOCON!

NEW SONG! "AETHER REVOLT"

Mostly what prompted me to finish this was God-Bird's really good cover that I photoshopped to hell.




Most of this was written back in January, but as with me, other shit got in the way and I've found the motivation to finish it.

JAM OF THE WEEK: "Die Anywhere Else" (as covered by RichardEB)

Hey, the 2006 Warped Tour called, it wants... all its music... back... Yeah! Take that, Rich... who did that really good Undertale album!

Anyway, while I haven't played Night In The Woods yet, it looks like a really neat experience. "Die Anywhere Else" makes sense within the context of the game, which is about a girl who drops out of college and returns to a boom town that has busted. Her town sucks, but now she has nowhere else to go. Jeff called it a "furry millennial simulator", and from what I heard about that game, it seems #relatable.

There are TWO ways you can cover a song about sadness and leaving your : Extremely dour ala Gary Jules' "Mad World" or THIS.

Richard's cover amps up what was an 8-bit cover of a The Cure song into something that could easily be in the Top 40 charts somewhere in the time between "Sugar, We're Going Down" and "Misery Business".

FANDOM ALBUM UPDATE

So, here's the tracks:
1. "Fire In The Hole" (Overwatch- Junkrat)
2.  TBD (Overwatch)
3.  TBD (Overwatch)
4. "Hunting Bigger Game" (Magic The Gathering- Magic 2015)
5. "Take The Oath" (Magic The Gathering- Battle For Zendikar Block)
6. "Change The War" (Magic The Gathering- Khans Of Tarkir)
7.  "Aether Revolt" (Magic The Gathering- Kaladesh)
8. "Freddy Fazbear's Pizza" (Five Nights At Freddy's)
9. "Axe Punk" (Axe Cop)
10. "Force Of Nature" (Team Fortress 2- Scout)
11. "From A Mile Away (Boom Headshot)" (Team Fortress 2- Sniper)
12. "Tower Siege" (Team Fortress 2- Heavy)

I might throw in a couple rarities, it all depends how deep cuts I should put on, and what I have access to.
