Au4 - So Just Hang On, Beautiful One

Review of @_Au4 now up live. Check out "So Just Hang On, Beautiful One"

Vancouver band Au4 (Pronounced Oh-4) first hit my radar a few years ago when I heard the track Everyone is Everyone (And Everything is Everything) during episode eleven of the second season of the Vancouver-based science fiction show, Continuum. I found the song both energetic and deep. Deep would be putting it mildly, to be bluntly honest. It’s like the Marianas Trench compared to a wading pool,…

Thank You Scientist - My Famed Disappearing Act

This week's Track Pick: My Famed Disappearing Act by @TYScientist

There was a time not too long ago that I was well-known in my apartment building as, That Guy Who Blasts Coheed & Cambria All Day. Thankfully, that didn’t last too long. Just enough for me to learn how to play Welcome Home on the guitar, and realize that I could not, for the life of me, get my voice as high-pitched as Coheed’s frontman Claudio Sanchez.

However, the style Coheed & Cambria played…

AZTEC - East

This week's track pick, East by indie band AZTEC @aztecsmusic

(Editor’s Note: In full disclosure, I am personally acquainted with the bassist of AZTEC, Patrick Gleeson. Regardless, if I had discovered AZTEC independently of knowing a member of the band, I still would have included East as a weekly track, as I do enjoy their sound.)

AZTEC is a fresh new independent band from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, that combines huge guitars, heavy-handed drums,…

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Hyrule Circuit

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Hyrule Circuit

I never thought I’d buy the DLC for Mario Kart 8. However, after watching a tournament of the DLC tracks, I saw Hyrule Circuit. The little changes that they made for that track, since it’s from Legend of Zelda and not a Mario game, made it even better. For instance, instead of collecting coins, you collect rupees. If you grab an item box, it makes the treasure chest sound instead of the standard…

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Theme for D4

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Theme for D4

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die has been a very random obsession of mine recently. It’s not a game that I think I’d enjoy playing, but watching the 2 Best Friends Play videos of their playthrough, I can see where this game would be a ton fun for some people. The featured track this week is the theme from D4.

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Genesis) Theme

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers (Genesis) Theme

AHHHHH! The nostalgia! Not only did I watch Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers on TV, but when I got my Sega Genesis, my parents bought me the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangersgame. Little did I know that it would become one of my favorite games on the Sega Genesis. I remember playing through the story mode numerous times, trying to perfect the button presses for each of the moves, beating Cyclopsis only…

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Midna's Lament

Blurryphoenix’s Weekly Video Game Track: Midna’s Lament

I did this one for you PapaKenn! I was a fan of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, however it just didn’t compare to previous Zelda games, so it didn’t make my Top 5 list. However, Midna was probably the best “fairy” in any of the Zelda games. Midna wasn’t as annoying as Navi or Tatl, and in fact, she had her own personality that made her a very enjoyable character. Because of her personality,…
