(A Random Post)
I’m currently listening to the latest (or maybe the first, I have no idea) album from Fang Island, called Day Of The Great Leap. I read about them in an Los Angeles based “Asian American pop culture” magazine called Giant Robot, Googled them just based off their awesome band name, found a YouTube video of them playing to a kindergarten class, and had to buy the CD online off their no name record label.
Now THAT is indie.
It arrived in the mail today, it’s 23 minutes long, and it’s some crazy shit, foreals. No real lyrics, just the odd “WHOAOHOHOHOH” here and there, very standard indie fare. We are so cool.
And now it is time for this video of the 1992 X-Men arcade game from Konami I found on their MySpace page. I particular enjoy the fight with Pyro at the end – that’s just vintage video game strategy right there. Good times.
“You will only mush your perfect phalanges
Into my demon turd of a soul
Your hand would go into my satanic cheeseburger
Aka my heart’s vaginaaaaaa – “
“Ah yes, yes, uh… Yeah, you know I have heard that one.”
