Sideshow & Syrana

I enjoy music, as most of you know, so I thought I’d post a song everyday during the week using my Blip.fm station and tweet it at the same time (if you wanted to follow at home.) Every week, I’ll recap my choices and write a little blurb about them.

This week I am trying a new site for playing the songs called “Grooveshark.” It also allows me to use a website widget that should let you listen to the song right on our site instead of requiring you to click a link. Let me know how it works. Unfortunately, there is no volume control on the widget, so just an FYI.

Check this tag for my other “Songs of the Week” posts.

Hopefully, it’s a good chance to hear some new music (or old music) and get my take on it. I do tend to lean towards Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, so most songs will probably be in that general area, but I will veer from time to time. I know music is very much like religion and politics, so I’m not pushing anything onto you. If you don’t like something, I respect that. But, if you do, I’m more than happy to get you more info on it, just let me know.

Most entries will have a Wikipedia and Last.FM link at the end for you to get more information and listen to other songs at your leisure.

This week’s theme is newer/underground bands. They may not all be completely unknown or new, but they are probably new to a lot of people. Hope to spread the word.

(I blame Krizzlybear, who’s been doing a lot of song parodies this month!  This one is based upon Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day [Lyrics] [Video])

I walk a lonely road
The only zone that I have ever known
Don’t know where you are
But it’s fun for me and I quest alone

I quest this empty zone
On the Barrens Road of Broken Dreams
Where the centaur sleeps
and I’m the only one and I quest alone

I quest alone
I quest alone

I quest alone
I quest a…

My mini-pet’s the only one that travels with me
No recruit-a-friend to keep me company
Sometimes I wish someone would group up with me
‘Til then I quest alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I’m heading north this time
Can’t decide which quest chain to follow
On the border now
Of the Barrens and Ashenvale, wait

Who’s coming at me
I fucked up and flagged myself and died
Time to find my corpse
Resurrect again, and so I quest alone

I quest alone
I quest alone

I quest alone
I quest a…

My mini-pet’s the only one that travels with me
No recruit-a-friend to keep me company
Sometimes I wish someone would group up with me
‘Til then I quest alone

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I quest alone
I quest a…

I quest this empty zone
On the Barrens Road of Broken Dreams
Where the centaur sleeps
and I’m the only one and I quest alone

My mini-pet’s the only one that travels with me
No recruit-a-friend to keep me company
Sometimes I wish someone would group up with me
‘Til then I quest alone…

Last week I let you all know that I’m open to answering questions.  I’ve gotten some through formspring and a few people left great questions in the comments.  Unfortunately, the questions left in the comments were so awesome that the answers needed to marinate in my brain for a bit and fully deserving of their very own post!

So without further adieu… I shall present a wall o’ text to you!  (continue reading…)

I thought I’d start a new franchise here on the site. You know, cuz Syrana has stolen all of the good weekly memes.

On the 12th day of Christmas World of Warcraft gave to me…
Twelve daily quests
Eleven new blogs to read
Ten soul shards
Nine flying mounts
Eight achievements
Seven battlegrounds
Six epic gems….

Breakout! (rap)
It’s Capwn.  Hijackin’ this jingle.
Although I ain’t jolly like Kris Kringle.
I’m here to bring a message to allll y’all
It’s Winter Veil season!
And I’m here for a reason!
Besides pwning ‘n owning with. my. skill.
I need to spread cheer… and goodwill.
Cause there’s a reason.
Yeah, it’s Winter Veil season.
You, me – we all wanta be geeeared out.
But that’s not what it’s all about.
The new LFG ain’t all about a larger pool a suckas, ya see.
Need roll, greed roll, there’s even a DE roll!
When I win the roll and woot
I don’t want no ninja stealin’ my loot.
My message, it’s got a reason.
Don’t be ninja’ing Winter Veil season.
Let me pass it back to Syrana ana right about now, right now.
Cuz you know she’s got a satchel full-uh soulshards and the gnomeboys do too…

Fiiiive dun~geon runs
Four random puggers
Three mini-pets
Two frost emblems
and a really nasty repair bill!

(Psst, if anyone wants to, uh, perform this and send me an audio clip… you’ll get… something.  I don’t know what yet, but if you are willing to bring this alive, you’ve got to be rewarded in some fashion!)

So, you’re sitting in your living room next to your decorated Christmas tree with a glass of egg nog and wondering, “I’d really like to listen to some Christmas music, but it needs some crunch to it.” Don’t fear, I have you covered. Not to sound like a Time Life commercial, but I’ve compiled a nice collection of some decent Christmas music for you hard rock and metal heads.
