Catching Up Before The End Of The Decade
Hahaha, it's been a while...
NEW SONG ON PATREON: "Remember"
This is a song that I've had kicking around for a while, ever since I finished listening to the podcast
The Weezer Bracket. It was a podcast that, March Madness style in Song Vs. Song matchups, set
out to determine the Worst Weezer Song (spoiler: It was "Beverley Hills").
In the process, I've learned a couple things:
1. They have A LOT of songs that are "We're going back to our roots! We don't suck anymore, we promise!"
2. Rivers Cuomo has A LOT of weird song writing strategies.
Most fun: Adderall, tequila, and a nap on a hammock.
Least fun: A notebook full of chord progressions he refers to like a textbook.
From all of this, I kept getting the impression that Rivers Cuomo, after being embarassed by Pinkerton, got kind of... desperate for approval. One day at work, I saw that there's a special "Weezer Island" on Fortnite, and I went "HOLE- EEE SHIIIIIT"
Little by little, the song came to me.
NEW SONG ON YOUTUBE: "Mercedes Merced"
Last week, the trailer for Black Widow dropped, and while I haven't been keeping up with the Marvel movies, I have kept my eye on this one, since one of the villains is rumored to be Taskmaster.
Taskmaster, as I've mentioned before, is one of my FAVORITE comic characters. His power, photographic reflexes, allow him to copy any movement he sees and replicate them perfectly; whether it's fighting like Iron Fist, shooting arrows like Hawkeye, or throwing his replica sheild like Captain America. He's a mercenary scumbag, but the fun kind of scumbag, where he'll interupt a villain's speech about their goals or whatever, and Tasky will be like "Don't care. Fuck you. Pay me". I love his dumb skeleton pirate costume, as well as his Tacticool Luchador from Udon, which I actually cosplayed as!
He's been explored in a variety of ways throughout the years, and the song Mercedes Merced, was inspired by his 2011 limited series, "Unthinkable". Mercedes Merced is actually Taskmaster's wife, who he forgot about over the years, as his in order to use his powers and commit it to muscle memory, his brain "forgets" an explicit memory, and the series chronicles him reconnecting with his wife, then later forgetting her again to save his life. It's a really bittersweet tale, and I recommend it immensely.
So for this song, I made it about a relationship you half remember but it ended up being way more important than you were led to believe.
HEY RHYTHM BASTARD, HOW DOES HE LOOK IN THE MOVIE?
uhhhh... WHO WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT SOME CONVENTIONS?
ANIME IWAI RECAP!
FRIDAY!
-Iwaivor Series 2019!
We crowned a champion after a lot of fighting and a lot of promo cutting. We're slowly, but surely getting a grip on how to run future events efficiently. Namely, people REALLY aren't prepared to cut promos!
Also, as we get more popular, we're going to get more crowded, and we don't want to turn anyone away, so we'll just be doing 4-man Royal Rumble Heats until we get down to Two Finalists.
-My Concert!
Went swimmingly! It was my last concert of year, and my friends at the 3KB made sure it went over big and got HYPE AS FUCK!
-3000 Brigade Show!
Maybe it's because this is my 3rd show, maybe it's because I had so many costume changes, or maybe it was just that we were super confident in our show, but this year flew by.
First I was a Herald for the Fort Knights from Fortnite, then I was Johnny Cage from Mortal Kombat, then Shitty Drag, then Green Link, and then Johnny Cage again. Then I went shirtless and the crowd went wild.
-Also, I attended a "Fursona" panel, and this is the artist's interpretation of the "Thrash Panda" protag:

PAX UNPLUGGED RECAP!
I LOVED PAX Unplugged this year! I sold a shit ton of MtG cards and got to play some new games.
Honestly, my favorite part of PAX Unplugged is the city of Philadelphia. My friend Owen's a local, and took me out to all the cool food places. I got a Wawa's, I got a proper Cheesesteak, I ate scrapple at the Reading Terminal Market, all those boxes were checked off.
As for actually playing games, I played a round of Commander for the first time in a while, and my group couldn't have been nicer. I only had the Mind Sieze Precon from 2013, but it provided me with a nice enough base to build on, and I've been building a couple decks back here at home, with a third commander deck on the way. Oops...
A game I tried and ended up buying was Raccoon Tycoon. It's a game about producing resources, selling them for profit, and buying property to help you on your way. You get into a good pace once you get going, and it is straightforward after a couple of rounds. It's got a nice, old world style, and even though raccoons are scavengers, not capitalists, it was worth picking up for $40.
Pat Baer, who helps run League of Heels, the PAX Wrestling Federation, also runs a lot of fun comedy panels, one of which is the Improvised Postmortem, where you make a game concept and make a postmortem on it on the fly from just a title. Loading Ready Run talent, and lots of other familiar faces are there, and did a great job!
JAM OF THE WEEK: "The Passenger" by Siouxie and the Banshees
Recently I checked out the series "Infinity Train" because the second season was advertise with a trailer that has this cover of Iggy Pop's "The Passenger". The Iggy Pop version was also used in the trailer for The Outer Worlds.
Outer Worlds rules, Infinity Train rules, this cover rules, and this was also in the credits for "I, Tonya" which I didn't mind, so if you want me to check out your thing, put "The Passenger" in the trailer.

Status Quo Wednesday Is Just A Theory
WHOA! EPIC THEORY VIDEO ON THE KOOPAS FROM MARIO! INSANE THEORY!
JAM OF THE WEEK: "Psychobilly Freakout" by The Reverend Horton Heat
They are so good live! And then Jello Biafra from the motherfucking Dead Kennedys goes up to sing a couple songs? WHAT?
THE LEGENDARY SHACK SHAKERS, THE REVEREND HORTON HEAT AND JELLO BIAFRA
This show, more than anything, has taught me the value of a good front man. And the value of an upright bass.
Really, it was just the Shack Shakers and Reverend, since Jello was only on for a few songs and the encore.
The Shack Shakers, a band from good ol' Kentucky, were a great opener, especially J. D. Wilkes, their lead singer/harmonic player, who looks like David Byrne, moves like Iggy Pop, and whose performance style lends itself to have a "Splash Zone" set up. I couldn't hear shit over the sound system, but the band just worked so well together I didn't care. Listening to their songs on YouTube, they have this almost Gothic edge to them. Like, even they said, "We have three types of songs: songs about chickens, songs about the devil and songs about trains."
Then The Reverend Horton Heat went on. The only song I know from them is "Psychobilly Freakout" off Guitar Hero 2, and now I feel like an idiot, because Jim Heath is a really good guitarist. For a band that's over the hill, people were moshing on pretty much every song.
Then Jello Biafra came out.
Holy shit does he still have it. At almost 60, he was moving around the stage, mugging like a motherfucker. It didn't last long, since he came out to do a Guantanamo School Of Medicine song, a cover of "House of the Rising Sun", then the Dead Kennedys songs "Holiday In Cambodia", "Too Drunk To Fuck" and came out for "Viva Las Vegas" for the Encore. Still, 110% into it.
All in all, a great show, and some incredible music I wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

SQS Unit
This week's jam:
Saturday I went to a wedding reception to two of the nicest people when it comes to Florida Nerd Music: Rob (aka DJ RoboRob) and Shelby (aka Starby). A bunch of awesome DJs and rappers went on stage and it was a great time :D.
I met them at Omni Expo last year, and they watched me play a show out in the hallway. Super nice then, and nothing less since then. The best of luck to the both of them!
ALBUM NEWS:
What?
YOU GOT ALBUM NEWS, RIGHT?
You mean the album I finished?
YEAH THAT ONE
OK, the album I finished and released and is not awaiting final touches from production and kickstarter, right?
NO, WAIT-
Dino Hunter MD: The Sound Track will be on YouTube. It was something I should have done a while ago, but I will do with Status Quo Radio.
Why? Anytime I tell people I do music, one of the things they ask is "Do you have your stuff on YouTube?" EVERYONE knows what YouTube is. YouTube has everything. It's not a music specific site like Soundcloud or Bandcamp or even this site, it a place they're looking for entertainment on anyway, and it'll bring all the traffic my way.
Also, I recently entered a partnership with DNOS Collectables, so go check them out! They'll be selling my stuff at Hatsume Fair Boca Raton this weekend! They also have cool anime collectables that you can get while you're there.
And, speaking of cons, I've been confirmed for Hero Hype!
Finally, a short movie I was involved in at GeekFest:
and the Blooper Reel:

Echo Chamber Post Game Episode 81
#THANKYOUCINDER BECAUSE I PLAY KILLER INSTINCT
-Wolf from American Gladiators beating up Christian Finnegan:
-Me and Henry/Quinton Flynn from Umicon Daytona. Super nice guy, and the panel was actually pretty great. Him and a couple other voice actors in attendance were bullshitting for an hour or so, and mix in some Aquacadets with beer, and you got yourself one hell of a good time.
-Wolf from American Gladiators being relevant enough to star in Disaster Movie:
-Love spells for all your love needs.
In fact, The F+ did an entire episode on this website, so YOU'RE WELCOME
-EPIC PARKOUR FAILS:
Though I do feel that Owen's suggestion for a Ghostwriter reboot would be relevant in the modern age, since you can have the ghost writer that lives in the cloud and knows everything, what with you kids and your Siris and sex robots.
-MILLIONS OF JEWS DIED IN THE HOLOCAUST
-PSA: SpyParty is available for Open Beta.
-Looking up "Sexy TF2" on Tumblr, this was the first .gif:
CONSIDER YOUR ASSES SAVED.
-The Brain Stew Godzilla Mix is a little different than the original, but it blows chunks. Listen to how busy this shit is:
The mix on the drums is a little different, and there's piano in the BG. YOU COULDN'T HAVE RUINED SOMETHING OFF NIMROD?
"There's something unpredicatable- ROAR! and in the end there's right- ROAR! I hope you had the time of your- ROAR- CHOMP!"
Also from that soundtrack, a pretty good cover of "Heroes"
That's a good note to leave on, right?

And Now For Your Weekend Update
"Boston Boom Bringer" has been reblogged all throughout Tumblr!
190 notes, which is more than any of my songs have received on Soundcloud PERIOD. (
Gotten views all on YouTube (9,760 views more til Scout Cosplay rap)!
I'm definitely doing more rap in the future. I've got a couple ideas for beats in mind, but WHO KNOWS?
My album became Pay What You Want!
Because I gotta be OK with giving my music away if I want people to give it a chance.
I started streaming
Sunday evenings around 7 PM usually. I still need to work on getting sound from the console hooked up, but right now I got commentary and video going, so at least that's covered.
