This might be more appropriate for the Gaming thread but ...
So Pete is playing Brutal Legend. (Just pretend I coded the umlaut over the "u" in "Brutal", okay?) One of the songs that came up on the soundtrack was "Battle Angel" by Sanctuary.
"Waitaminute, that can't be the Sanctuary I'm think of, can it?"
I ask. So off I go to wikipedia, and lo and behold! It IS the version of Sanctuary I was thinking of! They were a late 80s/early 90s Seattle metal band that I knew. They were nice guys, and did a very nifty cover of White Rabbit.
(Before Plei asks, no, I didn't date any of them. I just kept ending up at the same parties and shows with them in '89 - '91.)
Okay everybody hit the randomizer or shuffle on your music player and gimme your top five.
- Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys
- The Dark of the Matinee - Franz Ferdinand
- Graffiti - Maximo Park
- Any Day Now - Missy Higgins
- All That We Let In - Indigo Girls
It's classics of the early-ish 2000s today, apparently. Nice soundtrack to today's dissertation session.
'Mardy Bum' is my favourite song on that Arctic Monkeys CD. I didn't get any other of their CDs after that one. I couldn't see where else they could go with their style. I should perhaps listen on Spotify to see where they did go.

Nate and Abby are as well. They just killed Tim Curry.
Wow, I just discovered The Apple of homemade goth videos. This is a pure genius of utter cheestasticness.

Just one of several examples of pure genius.
They need to make that into a movie.

ITA. The people who made that definitely had... a point of view.

Susan Sontag's definition of camp insists that the work must be done without distancing irony; that it needs to be done in complete sincerity.
This was a sincere video.
