Has anyone heard of a game called Calculords? I’ve only heard of it today through Auralnauts, who produced the soundtrack for the upcoming sequel, and it’s EPIC AS FUCK!

Yeah I saw that this morning and while I dunno anything about that game, the sounds are dope.

Ka strikes again in this collaboration album that somehow merges lryical rap, spaced out melodic production, and Greek Mythology.
If this tickles your tocks, and you haven’t already, go back and give Honor Killed the Samurai a shot.
Oh man! I’ve seen them play live at Funk-n-Waffles, it’s was a pretty awesome show!

Gavin Dunne made another great song. He takes a break from his standard metal for a bit and makes a country song for Fallout 76.
Crash Thompson released a new album called The GarageBand Demos with a few sample tracks. This is my favorite so far.
I think I’ll review the new Devil Makes Three for Feedback.
Yotam Perel released his latest album today. This is his first time releasing a full album on YouTube.
So, Sometimes I realize not everyone is an exact copy of me and doesn’t know everything I know. So I realize some people here may have not heard the lovely Hopsin.
This song helped me get through some tough times my final year of school. When I was on the verge of failing out and had to somehow pull it together. Apparently what works for me is being yelled at. I can’t relate very well with the latter 2/3 of the song because I’m not a woman or black. The first part though, addressed at like teenage dudes while not a perfect fit, was a thing I used to motivate myself to get shit done.

I hadn’t listened to it in a few years but Hopsin recently came across my radar as he was mentioned by name on Eminem’s new album and reacted in a surprisingly wholesome way. It’s like 40 seconds, just watch it.
I’m definitely not a big fan of Hopsin, but his reaction was dope and I’m glad he got clout from Em.
Recently had a mid-2000’s nostalgia bomb, and had to bust out my old music folders from then. So much terrible. Some good.
Then there’s this:
The latest track from Muse is the most Muse Muse have been for a while:

I love how Muse are utterly unapologetic about taking stupid concepts to their extremes. Like doing an entire album called “Drones” just so they could have a reason to fly drones above the audience during the shows on their arena tour.
And now they seem to be going all in on cheesy 80’s video game imagery for “Simulation Theory”, like with the Outrun video above. I really hope this means crazy Tron-like VR/AR antics on their next tour.
I also think this piano cover is just about as good as the original. It shows just how much Muse is influenced by classical music as much as rock and synth pop:

I have a question not about music. I’ve seen this recently, or at least noticed it recently. People using “are” when to my ear “is” is more appropriate. Mostly I notice it about companies - “Apple are releasing a new blah blah”, “Google are banning such and such”. Luke does it a couple times here:
But then you go the other way here!
Is this a British thing?
Most of my UK co-workers use plurals when describing named groups of people, while I and everyone in the US use singular to refer to said named group.
I also notice that most of my UK co-workers use the words within an acronym/initialism rather than the pronounced acronym or initialism letters.
E.g., where NMD stands for Network Management Department
US:
An NMD initiative…
or
A Network Management Department initiative…
UK:
A NMD initiative… (long A).
or
A Network Management Department initiative…
Actually it was going to be “they” and “are” all the way through, but the last one I originally typed “Matt Bellamy” but didn’t want to pick him out as the only composer (though probably is) so switched it to the band name.
But yeah, it’s a British vs American thing. I saw a T-shirt that read “Nickleback Sucks” and I was wondering why it shouldn’t be “Nickleback Suck”.
Also recently there was some weirdness with ABBA is releasing a new album vs ABBA are releasing a new album. It is a singular band, but the letters stand for individual members, so shouldn’t it be collective?
