This is ace, Holden. Will the winner be highlighted as well?

At some point tomorrow, yes. I won't be able to do it live.

Episode 13 Show
Is it bad that I'm still rooting for Kevin Spacey even after he straight-up kills a dude? His performance is just perfect. I'm also pleasantly surprised how well they're keeping the different sub-plots so carefully tied together.

The lack of stereo audio is definitely annoying.

God, you guys are old. My dad could own half of these lists.

But seriously. I really do love a shitload of what I've seen in here, I'm just playing it off because, well, I'm 23 and it's my job to tell old people they're wrong. Now that I'm done being a troll... There's a handful of older albums that might edge some of the stuff I'm posting (some Rush, King Crimson, etc), I'm going to stick with the top 5 albums I would sit down in my car and listen to at any given time.

5. Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory

I knew Saniss would beat me to this one, and I don't listen to as much DT as I used to, but I'll be goddamned if this album doesn't make every top 5 list I ever make. It's the album that got me into music, and a lot of bonding experiences happened trying to time out Dance of Eternity.

4. Muse - Absolution

WHY IS THERE NO MUSE IN THIS THREAD? Did I miss it? Absolution is one of the best rock albums that's not a rock album ever. Butterflies and Hurricanes is one of the most stimulating songs I've ever heard.

3. Company of Thieves - Running From a Gamble

This is actually a (semi-) local band that's starting to pick up some traction. They are one of the best, most energetic live bands I've ever heard (and I've been to a lot of concerts) and their second full-length album actually carries over a lot of that vibe. Their first one is kind of airy, but this one hit all of the right notes (ha).

2. My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade

I hate you, Teague.

1. Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns

Bet you didn't see that one coming. This is not your rap-rock, nu-metal bullshit anymore. This is brilliantly arranged music set on the premise of nuclear fallout. Whoever told Shinoda that he should start singing lead every now and then deserves a lot of money (it was Chester (he makes a lot of money)). This album hits pretty much every corner of the spectrum for me, and for a while it was all I listened to, just to see what kinds of things they slid into the mix. It's great. Make sure you listen to it end to end for full effect.


3/5 albums are concept albums. I guess that says something about me, huh?

And here's a Spotify link, just to be trendy.

I'm starting to see how I could bring some simple backing riffs to that. I guess I'll wait until most of the tracks are done, but there's room for Tom's acoustic guitar as a first part, then my guitar could come in for a heavier tone as a second part. What do you think?

There's actually a lot of subtle lead guitar in the original version. And you'd have the chord-y solo in the bridge.

Found this. Could be helpful:

Apparently you guys are getting complacent.

I should actually ban someone now to give some weight to my threats.

I'm banning all of you.

I totally thought about doing a cover of Castle of Glass on my own at some point.

I'd be down for some bass action if you need it. big_smile

Photoshopped sunglasses.

Nice touch.

Sorry, never saw this post.

Done.

But holy hell was that a pain to figure out.

Small party with friends, we played Cards Against Humanity and watched 30 Rock. Fun night.

We introduced Teague to CAH last night. Fun times, but it starts to get a little slow with like 12 people playing.

He's still wearing his Star Fleet badge in there. Chances are this is before he becomes the big bad guy.

Unless he's just trying to be ironic, which is awesome.

I linked to the Japanese trailer for the extra ten seconds and obvious throwback to, well... you'll know when you see it. Thoughts? Cumberbatch looks excellent.

Yes.
