There are a plethora of bands out there. Many of them are lesser-known, unfortunately. There’s just not enough time in the world for any one person to know them all… Unless that person is Dan Bergstein. または the Easter Bunny.
Anyhow! I spotted an 記事 here on Sparklife listing five bands the world must know, and of course little me thought, “Aha! I could do that!” And here I am, telling y’all about my lovely taste in pretty music! So, without further ado…
1. The Dresden Dolls: This Boston-based duo, Amanda Palmer and Brian Viglione, is epically awesome. They made up their own brand-new genre. That should be an indication of their awesomeness. Their lyrics are sarcastic and darkly funny, though sometimes creepy—but that’s their charm. (PS: If あなた like the Dolls, check out Amanda’s solo work—it’s just as awesome.)
Songs to hear: “Backstabber”—the perfect angsty, angry song, and it’s fantastic for dancing to.
Also, listen to “Sing”—fabulously wonderful lyrics, great message, and it makes あなた want to… SING!
2. Motion City Soundtrack: Slightly emo, もっと見る than slightly fantastic. The 音楽 has that teenage, melodramatic feel that あなた just need sometimes, but it doesn’t go overboard. The lyrics are often adorable, plus the cover of their latest album has a dinosaur on it.
Songs to hear: “Skin and Bones”—it's wonderfully naïve and light while still asking some pretty deep 質問 (“What if there’s nothing もっと見る to us? We’re just carbon-based, we’re just pixie dust…”) and “Make Out Kids”—cute, meaningful, fun to listen to.
3. HaDag Nachash: No, I didn’t spell that band name wrong. It’s Hebrew! HaDag Nachash (which translates to “The Snake Fish”) is an Israeli hip-hop group. Now, don’t think “ugh, hip-hop,” and walk away—I'm not a big hip-hop ファン either, but this band is just so great; their songs are about the big issues in Israel today (terrorism, cultural differences, etc.), but they manage to be catchy and awesome at the same time. あなた may not be able to understand a word they’re saying (unless あなた speak Hebrew, in which case I bow down to your superior knowledge) but you’ll 愛 them. Trust me.
Songs to hear: “Bella Belisima”—a song about a woman who saves the life of a terrorist. It’s surprisingly happy. A snippet of it was on an episode of NCIS 〜ネイビー犯罪捜査班 a while back, for all あなた fellow NCIS 〜ネイビー犯罪捜査班 fans. Also listen to “Rak Po”—the singer lists all the horrible things about Israel, then remembers that only there does he feel at home.
4. Harry and the Potters: Okay, guys, let’s talk. It’s time to stop pretending we’re too mature for Harry and his buddies. Let’s say it loud and proud: WE NERDS 愛 POTTER MUSIC! あなた know あなた do. It’s amusing to ファン of the 本 and catchy enough that even some non-fans (they exist?! Blasphemy!) might be drawn in.
Songs to hear: “The Foil (Draco Malfoy)”—even Draco fangirls like me can appreciate this song. Also, “Follow the Spiders.” Any song with the words “Don’t be scared / That クモ, スパイダー is only the size of a small elephant” is worth listening to.
5. Passion Pit: This band is similar to the rather もっと見る 人気 MGMT, but, in my humble opinion, Passion Pit is better. They employ electronic sound, catchy dance beats, and beautiful lyrics to make 音楽 that is delicious perfection. The only warning I would give is do NOT listen to them all day. The electronic-ness will melt your brain if exposed for too long.
Songs to hear: “Let Your 愛 Grow Tall”—best lyrics ever. That’s all I can say. “Smile Upon Me”—it’s just so dang cute! And dance-to-able! I just made up that word

Well, here it is. It’s time for the moment you’ve all been waiting for. While I have been busy with a ton of other things like work and the underlying threat of every phone call being a scam artist または something to leave me bankrupt, this 記事 has always been in the back of my mind. And I’m finally gonna talk about it. Today. That’s right. It’s time we finally get to talking about the classic comedy film. Clerks… 2!. Nah, I’m kidding. Fuck that movie. It’s Clerks, the original, 1994 film
I: From Humble Beginnings
Clerks is the best comedy film I have ever seen. Of...
Other than horrible gaming journalists not understanding how indie games work, another thing people say is how unfair they can be. Cuphead is unfair because your character only has three hearts on them. Hotline Miami is too hard because enemies can kill あなた in one hit. Slime Rancher is too hard because I can’t feed my Slimes in time. But there is a game out there that I can say with slight certainty that it can feel really unfair at times. A game so difficult that it already has me cursing before the game starts. A Bastard’s Tale.

This review is going to be… a bit harder to talk about. So I bought a game called Revolution 1979: Black Friday, a game that is based on the actual Black Friday of 1979 where thousands of protestors were shot and killed for protesting against their ruler. It was the darkest moment during the Iranian Revolution but is practically never discussed outside of the country. That is where 1979 Revolution comes to discuss matters.
