Status Quo Wednesday Is Now PLAYING WITH POWER!

Would have had this out on time, but I was laid up in bed sick, and then had to take care of some buillshit errands, where I then went straight to bed.

CON TIME!!!
Palmconnnn!

Wasn't as busy as last year, but those who did come and see me around were a great audience! My first time playing at Palmcon, and I caught up with a lot of old friends. Apparently I'm a very swole gentleman, because I was reminded of that a lot.  

Didn't go too crazy with spending, but I did get a Lego Taskmaster minifig. Cause I fucking love Taskmaster.

Quick shout out to Grifter's Custom Creations, who I haven't seen in a long-ass time, and helped run the booth for a local costume shop.

ULTRACON SHOW OUTTA NOWHERE?!?!?
Won't be able to make it Saturday due to work stuff, but I will be playing Sunday at 1 PM. Believe it or not, as long as I've been playing shows in Florida, and as many times as I've been at the MACC, I've never attended a con that used the lower levels, so I'm curious to see how it all pans out.

THIS WEEK'S JAM:


|I think I found a WWE theme I love more than Shinsuke Nakamura's. It's very reminiscent of Dr. Wily's theme from Mega Man 2, but that was a fucking awesome song.

You guys don't get it: This is so good, it makes me want to go and watch the Cruiserweight Classic, just to see if TJ Perkins is as awesome as his theme song.



THE NINTENDO 64 AT 20?!?!?


We're probablyt going to discuss this on next week's Echo Chamber, but yeah!

This was the first system I bought with my own money, since I inherited my older brother's NES, and was too young for a Super Nintendo.
My first 3 games were:
Super Mario 64- Still a game I go back to occasionally. Not one bad level, and I have speedruns of this game on when I go to sleep.
Mario Kart 64- Another game I love to revisit, and a stellar soundtrack.
Crusin USA- ... Fuck you, I didn't want to crowd around this game in the arcades.

I remember renting all kinds of games from the local West Coast Video depending on what was featured in that month's Nintendo Power. Some good, some bad, some I'm hunting down at every convention.

Status Quo Wednesday And The Podcast Recaps Had A Baby

PALMCON THIS WEEKEND!
Sasdly, I did not check the schedule that well, and did not realize I had a gig Saturday. I apologize for the invconvienece, as I also came from a work thing.

I'D RATHER NOT EPISODE 29
Anime Owen: Manly Edition:


Kokoro makes me think of this comic


-The heist angle for that Wu-Tang Album is BS but apparently that whole story is being turned into a musical.

-That sound effect at the end fits in perfectly with "You just screwed with Martin Shrkeli!" and the sad trombone is all like "Dang, I can't be Seto Kaiba"

-Persona 4 continues to have the best soundtrack:


THIS WEEK'S JAM:


House music is a secret love of mine. Not a shame, because house music rules. It's secret because all the EDM kids are inbto the wibble wobbles these days. I find it calming in a way that a lot of other genres that are supposed to be soothing aren't.
Also, this song rules, because it's made by a man called Sagat and wears an eyepatch like Sagat, who's the best Street Fighter character.
The lyrics are not high art, but they're stupid enough to be featured on Beavis and Butthead:


STILL SELLING TANK TOPS!

Status Quo Wednesday Has Went All SURPRISE On You!

PALMCON? PALMCON!I'm playing 3:00 PM on Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!!!!!!


I've been told this is the "at least" one show "they know about", so keep your eyes on the event page for future updates!


THIS WEEK'S JAM:


I don't know what to think about this one... All the songs I've heard off this new album have been really tight and high-energy, but the lyrics feel disjointed and... kinda lame? It feels like they're written as what's expected of a modern Green Day song, with some really questionable phrasing. "Bang Bang" made a little more sense after learning it's about the mentality of a school shooter, but I this one leaves me wondering what "the deal" is.

At least they're still trying with this album, and the fact that there doesn't seem to be a "deal" greater than "Here's some songs we wrote", after the triple album thing was... eh.... has me really excited for the album, especially after frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said this:

"I think my role is to shut up and listen," he says. "A lot of white people should shut up and listen. They really don't know what the African-American experience truly is. When you have people getting shot in their cars for no reason and being put in fucking jail cells and it's for profit, we have a serious problem, and the first thing you need to do is get educated. Don't try to do this, like, 'Blue lives matter.' Don't try to do the 'All lives matter.' Just shut up and listen to the experience. And then move forward after that."

NEW TANK TOP!
I'm trying two new things out here: TeeSpring and Tank Tops! You see me wear them on stage, why not get one for yourself? I even have a super cool 80's design so you can show off those guns in the Florida (or your residential state) sun!





"HOMESICK"- A VOICE OF ALL
More on the recap this Saturday, but here's the first episode of the Kaladesh storyline. I play Dovin Baan, the Velkaden Planeswalker who was revealed yesterday and may or may not be this block's main antagonist:


Regardless, you can listen to it here!

Three months have passed since the Gatewatch defeated Emrakul. What have they been up to?
