Shoggoth on the Roof

Original music composed by Jerry Bock. The lyrics for this play were written and arranged by He Who Must Not Be Named For Legal Reasons (no really). Some guy in the seventies gave the lyrics to some people with his blessing on the condition that he never be named.

Shojo S by Scandal is good. All their music is good, really, if you like Japanese punk-rock girl bands.

I like trailer music. (Good trailer music, not the other kind.) Wakfu looks only mildly interesting (I'm kinda wary of the Gurren Lagann / videogame vibes....), but this trailer has neat music:

I'll have to look for the full tracks that this was put together from.

Also, one thing that leaps to my eye about these kinds of French projects is that the French really like them some steampunk....

I gave up trying to estimate the probable population/jobs density of this procedurally generated city. It seems like most cities have small regions of nothing but towers like this, but not a region so large that it stretches to the horizon.... even Manhattan is interspersed with fairly low-rise areas (not to mention it's a narrow constrained island).

Maybe Kowloon is like this, but again, that's a relatively constrained area.

...

Okay, at the end of the video it says the guy generated 1,700 high rise buildings in the model, which is... really whacked. Compare what this guy tells us:

Quote
A quick comparison of Toronto with NYC, Chicago, and London:
NYC: 5850 buildings, 7.7 Million, 634 sq km area
T.O. : 1889 buildings, 2.72 Million, 630 sq km area
Chi : 1130 buildings, 2.69 Million, 606 sq km area
Lon: 584 buildings, 7.83 Million, 1572 sq km area
If you compare the first three cities (because of their similar land area), take a ratio of people to buildings, you discover that Toronto and NYC both have very similar ratios (1317:1 for NYC, 1439:1 for Toronto). Chicago's ratio is 2380:1. Just another way to look at how urbanized we've become.

So, this is what you get if you take _every_ single high rise building in Toronto or Chicago and smush them all into one place at Midtown Manhattan densities. Multiply by five and you get _every_ single high rise building in New York.

(As a sidenote, it always surprises me how spread out London is.)

Sorry about the statistical trivia... um... here, have some guilty pleasures or Cowboys Fringants (whatever those are)!

Imagine living in a city with such crowding.  I live with a highrise in front of my window.  It easily takes up 50% of my viewing arc.

Now imagine the opposite of that.  That's what it's like.

The World God Only Knows is a kind of stupid anime with holy cow mind blowing soundtrack.

Let me try to explain how weird this is.... This is kind of like... if Adventure Time got a soundtrack written by Howard Shore, let's say.

For those days when you need 8-bit nostalgia and daytime TV nostalgia in one song, have some Price is Right 8-bit theme.

It's strangely catchy. It's probably the nostalgia speaking.

A mashup up Pirates of the Caribbean and Skyrim music. It's really good!  If you follow the link to the guy's website, you can download it.
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

Those are some good, stirring pieces.

Do I have much of that?  I'm too much of a sad piano sort of guy.

Wait, I do have The Titan, by Oscar Araujo, from Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2.

(Edit) ...I can't help myself, so here's a bit of sad piano: Dracula's Theme, from same.

Speaking of Scrooge!

Ducktales: Remastered's Moon theme. It's a nice, nostalgic listen.
