Music Blog: Smashin' Fairies, Don't fear the Reaper

Tom Smith ... amusing music while on drugs.





And now, some for something completely different.

I'm told that this song is popular, but my connection to popular media is tenuous on good days.  I only picked this up from a music list in on of John Ringo's novels -- appropriate, considering I posted more of his free books today.

Don't Fear the Reaper, by Blue Oyster Cult

Music Blog: Dead Again in video games

Dedicated to all those who have ever run into the video game designed for the sole purpose of killing the player.





And, speaking of video games, a nice piece from Halo 3: Finish the Fight.  It starts slow, but builds nicely, and kicks in around the minute twenty mark.  Enjoy

Music blog: Tom Smith Does Harry Potter, Mass Effect 2

Apparently, JK Rowling made the birthday for one of her characters the same day as "Talk like a pirate day."

Guess which one it is.






And, as you've probably noticed, I have a great respect for Video Games lately, especially with voice acting, and particularly music. 

So, Mass Effect 2 makes it on today.

Music blog: Fury of the Storm & Blue Screen of Death

Have issues with Bill Gates? You're not the only one.



Dragonforce ... more music to blow stuff up.

Music Blog: Rich Fantasy Lives, & My Spirit Will go On

I thought this would be the only thing I posted today. Then I got the Dowd column in the mail. Who knew?

Anyway, onto the music.

A Tom Smith song ... dedicated to all those people who live better lives in their heads than most people do in the real world.



Another Dragonforce song .... again, this is music to write fight scenes to.

Music Blog: Dragon Force, & Talk like a Pirate Day.

Tom Smith is a regular on these posts. I think he's going to be a good balance to the Dragonforce music clip below.

Let's just say that "Talk like a Pirate Day" is something for September ... but I have no idea if I'll still be doing these in September.





Starfire, by Dragonforce .... I like it. Again, this is music I write to. Though this is one of the few Dragonforce songs than I think I can understand without resorting to the lyrics.

Music Blog: A bit of Poe,



Ever read The Tell-Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe?

Now, imagine it done in under two and a half minutes

Music blog: Babylon 5 & Tom Smith


This is the last cut of the music from the aborted Babylon 5 video game from last week. It was fun while it lasted.



And now, the parody version

Music: Epic Video Game music

Yesterday, I started a series of music clips that should have gone with an aborted Babylon 5 video game. However, it was over an hour of music, and even what I posted yesterday was a little much.

I hope you enjoy
