JAM OF THE WEEK 07/22/2018 ALSO FRIDAY NIGHT MYSTERIES IS BACK!!!

JAM OF THE WEEK: "Love TKO" by Teddy Pendergrass

This is a baby making jam. Hands down.

I can't think of many other songs that make me feel as comfortable and at ease as "Love T.K.O." does. There's nothing here that's complicated or over wrought (except for Teddy singing like he's 110% in love with the lyrics), and it doesn't need to be. All the little flourishes and bits that come in and out keep it from getting too dry in spots, even though all the verses are the same.

"Love T.K.O." is another song from the impossibly good Indigo Prophecy soundtrack, and plays during a scene where one of the playable detectives, Tyler Miles, is dancing with his girlfriend. Now, through my IP play-through I gave the character of Tyler a lot of shit, because he's a French person's idea of what an American black man is like.

I MEAN, FUCKING LOOK AT THIS APARTMENT.

Buuuut... this is also the perfect place to listen to a song like "Love TKO": lots of warm colors, fantastically retro, and chill as all hell.

Also, David Gasman, the voice of Tyler Miles, also does the voice of Lucas Kane, the main protagonist in Indigo Prophecy:

AND the black police chief.

FUCKING. YIKES.

"But Rhythm Bastard," you ask, "why are you talking about Indigo Prophecy again?"

FRIDAY NIGHT MYSTERIES PRESENTS: INDIGO PROPHECY EPISODE 2


It's baaaack!

This episode I slept on because there was a lot I wanted to talk about, but the audio was muted. I didn't have a lot of time otherwise, but I managed to get this one out.

Thankfully there was at least one REALLY stupid sequence to get hyped over, and it's before the game takes a massive nosedive into "OH SHIT WE RAN OUT OF MONEY END IT NOW WITH KUNG FU" sequences.
