Not quite sure which #VideoGameMusic #soundtrack for #UtopiaCreationOfANation I prefer:
- The #Roland #MT32 version for #MSDOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUZvsb65oO8
- The #SNES version, which I've played my fair share of, and thus has quite some nostalgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORZClHYziQk
- the #Amiga version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7RGtHOj8pM
- or the #AtariST version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elMiic5SS_Y
The latter one by #BarryLeitch certainly sounds the most unique and has strong #chiptune vibes.
Christmas music, Metal Edition
The #MetalChristmas playlist by/on #Spotify is surprisingly decent so far: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DX0LctmTPNQ3v?si=ZVbGvpugSLmmtDiQZ2952Q
Quite some tunes in there I wasn't familiar with yet.
Even #BeardGrabber doesn't (yet?) seem to mind having it on in the background via the PS3. :)
My #2020 Wrapped (according to #Spotify)
This is how my year sounded on @Spotify@twitter.com #2020Wrapped

I guess that was a lot more #GloryHammer than I'd expected. xD

Didn't expect #Ayreon to release a #Christmas-related #song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps_Ne2_pWUM
Huh, quite some artists I haven't seen mentioned in a while, on my #Spotify #ReleaseRadar. :)
Let's see what new or remastered stuff #BlindGuardian, #BlackmoresNight, #MonoINC, #Skazi, #Magica, #VandenPlas, #VisionsOfAtlantis, #Faderhead, #LeeRitenour, #Extince, #IcedEarth, #LudovicoEinaudi, #Shpongle, #Katatonia and #Eisbrecher have to offer. :)
My #StreamingMusicInteractivePlaylist tool can now load external #JSON playlist files :)

(Though I noticed a bug with auto-advancing sub-playlists... it shouldn't advance the main playlist... Yay, #bugs!)
Managed to add #NicoNico (aka #NicoVideo.jp) support to my little HTML+JS playlist tool: https://github.com/FiXato/Streaming-Media-Interactive-Playlist
So, now I can have #YouTube, #SoundCloud and NicoVideo.jp videos/songs in a single playlist for easy playback. :)
Current example contains primarily #MSX or MSX-inspired #Music: https://fixato.org/music/player/msx-related.html
Code of the #Python script to scrape links from a topic on msx.org is especially dirty because I copy/pasted it with minor changes from my #MSXPlayRipper project...
Okay, I did not expect to spend this much time on playing with @Siiw's #Yamaha #PSR295 keyboard...
I love #music, but it's always been a skill I considered as something I would never get the hang of.
And while I still don't think I'd ever be good at it, after tonight I think I can at least learn the basics of it after all. :)
It started with managing to connect my wife's keyboard over USB to my laptop, and through the #openMSX emulator, to an emulated #CX7M/128, and I got a kick out of that.
Currently watching "A Yamaha 8-bit Music Computer - Testing out the CX5M" by
#RMC - #TheCave:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlu4Lcpq4GM
They give a brief but decent overview of the history of the #MSX #Homecomputer standard at least. :)
Will be interesting to hear what they have to share about the #Yamaha #CX5M #MSX1 machine. :)
If I could learn overnight to create #music in one specific genre, I think it might actually be #PsychedelicTrance...
Any recommendations for #music that uses #samples / #soundbites from the #1984 film adaptation of #FrankHerbert's #Dune?
For example the #songs from #AstralProjection's #DancingGalaxy album: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_Galaxy
Heh, nice, the #SuperMarioKart - #DonutPlains track for the #SNES, but then re-arranged by @Pt_Macumba@twitter.com for #MSX #ym2413 soundchips in #MML:

I've been listening quite a bit to #SolarFake tonight, but I've had to check a couple of times already to make sure I wasn't listening to #VNVNation instead.
Not a bad thing. ;)
Oof... while I really dig the sound of the new #Ayreon album #Transitus, the actual story it tells is bleak, disturbing, without much depth and frankly not quite my thing...
I'll probably still end up listening to it a lot in the background though. I guess it sometimes is a blessing to be able to push #lyrics into the background and just enjoy the melody and sounds of #music. :)
It's fascinating to hear #childrensSongs translated in various other languages.
Having tried doing my own #Dutch and #Norwegian versions of #lullabies I know for #BeardGrabber, I bet most of those #translations were made by expats or mixed culture couples for their own kids.
Wake me up when September ends, parental (not mine) death mention
#TodayILearned that #GreenDay's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" was written about the death of the father of frontman #BillieJoeArmstrong when the singer was ten years old.
Also #TIL that he's —understandably— uncomfortable with the #WakeMeUpWhenSeptemberEnds #memes, and has joked about wanting to write Shut The Fuck Up, When October Begins: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_Me_Up_When_September_Ends#Annual_Internet_meme
lewd
Glad to be wearing headphones for this #psytrance by #McCoy's #SUNProject. :)
#CosmicPorn has some loud moans that I'd rather not broadcast through the house at this time of day, lol.
If I ever get cut off from the Internet and have to rely on #music that isn't from a #StreamingMedia service such as #Spotify, I'd be stuck with music collected in the #90s and #00s...
And honestly, I think I'd mostly be okay with that. :)
(Though I'd probably want to get some offline copies of #Ayreon, #Heilung, #Heidevolk, #S3rl, #BeastInBlack, #Gloryhammer, #MiracleOfSound, #Rush and probably some other bands I only discovered in the past decade or so.)
DooM, Animal Crossing, Gore, graphic language, metal
I'm not that into #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons, but this #DooM cross-over #music video by #TheChalkeaters titled #DoomCrossing: Eternal Horizons is pretty cool:
