Music Meme, Day 6
Today's prompt is "A song that makes you want to dance", something which many people who know me will be aware does not narrow things down that much. I spent a long time (mostly as a student) dancing and there are many songs associated with dancing in my memory, plus several other songs because of their rhythm or something else about them that ( Read more... ) -
Music meme, day 5
Today's prompt is "A song that needs to be played LOUD". In some respects, this is a bit like a drink that needs to be consumed ice-cold in my opinion - if your music is that good, it shouldn't need volume as a crutch. (Also, I can absolutely hear when idiot sound technicians have increased the gain on their amps too much and are clipping the sound ( Read more... ) -
Music meme, day 4
Day 4's prompt is "A song that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget about", which I initially struggled with, before realising that I'd done such a good job of forgetting about my former employers that I had forgotten that I wanted to forget about them.

Oh look, it's a Dreamwidth account. I don't trust the American government significantly more than I trust the Russian one, so therefore the DW ToS are not significantly better than the LJ ones, but there are some people here whose thoughts I like to read, so I guess can not say things and read those for a while ( Read more... ) -

43. Life is Strange (Dontnod/Square-Enix, 2015)
Life is Strange is the first (also only) computer game that has made me cry. It's definitely art, and this one I do get. Unfortunately, to provide the critical evaluation it arguably deserves I would have to also discuss a large number of things which would be considered spoilers by the standard ( Read more... ) -
