This woman who passed away at 96 was quite the character
A sampling of her taste in music
And she had no problem giving her opinion

I still remember spending a good month learning how to play this song my first or second year into teaching myself guitar 
Iām sure I butchered the solo in execution but I hit all the notes on time

I outgrew the target demographic long before the third game in the series finally arrived, but one thing that will always stick with me and Iāll always revisit (ignoring the fact I just replayed the entire saga at Christmas cos steam sales) is Yoko Shimomuras music for the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
She developed such an instantly recognisable sound for the main themes explored in the series, you just know what it is when you hear it.
At this stage sheās video game royalty so I wonāt harp on about her and move on to Utada Hikaru.
Utada Hikaru always provided the theme songs for the series and Yoko always does such lovely orchestral instrumentals dressed up with the ornamentation of the games audio aesthetic, I thought Iād share the one made for the third game.
My least favourite and the most rushed out the gate but the music is still as solid as ever so felt like a good choice, even in the worst game (imo) her music absolutely shines.
She manages to take all the ingredients of a classic Disney score and carry them over into its own unique thing, especially since Disney stopped sounding like this decades ago
The constant recurring theme, the Disney-esque march you hear throughout, is one of those staples I mentioned earlier, it shows up a lot and seems to me to be the driving force of Friendship (cheese alert)
(If youāre going to listen to the Utada originals always find the Japanese versions, the localised English versions never quite fit the melodyās flow as well, even though she writes and sings the English version too

Well I wanted to copy a link to the Kingās Guard playing Paranoid during the changing of the guard but, it wonāt workā¦.bruhā¦
Here is a YT short but you can find the whole thing out there from numerous sources

The original vinyl album of Paranoid did not have printed lyrics. Thereās a line in the song that goes āAnd so as you hear these wordsā. Listening to it on a cheap stereo in 1970, my friends and I decided he was singing āEsso Extra really worksā.
We never could makee a lot of sense of that tune.

I believe it was written somewhere in Ireland after many drinks and during the troubles. Or it was recorded here? I forget the specifics but it might make sense of the lyrics
Basing that solely off of something I read in a magazine 26 years ago. Googling revealed nothing but Google canāt even Google anymore so the verdict is still out I guess. Any genuine Sabbath historians wanna settle my memory straight?
Googling did reveal that people misheard the lyrics āI tell you to enjoy lifeā as āI tell you to end your lifeā and of course the Moms lost their damn minds.
That missing lyrics sheet really caused more bother than it should have.

It never even occurred to me that other people might also have heard it as āEsso Extra really worksā - but it seems from Googling, that they did.
At the time, Esso Extra was a brand of petrol (gasoline), widely advertised on TV.

OMG! This is great. Iām going out on a limb here to say that Iāve never before heard anyone sing about āIām Going To A Craft Fair At The Libraryā or āI Hope Youāre Rotting In Hellā. Bandcamp has their complete discography.

Iāve been returning to Hades and threw their entire discography (of albums and EPs) into a playlist on Spotify and itās been one hell of an experience. (Sorry Darren Korb, I love your music too but you and Ashley Barrett need a break)
āMaybe you should just go to the seance without meā is one of the most complete minimalist songs Iāve ever heard
Thereās some genuine heartfelt songs in there too amidst all the humour and noveltyā¦ just not sure which ones yet cos copy paste playlist dump and videogames had me not seeing song titles.
Iāll have to throw some coinage their way on the bandcamp, thanks for the links

But we know both NMS and LNF were influenced by his time in the Outback so we must thank Australia as well.

Precisely why Australia should drop the union jack from their flag and join a brand new union after we take back the North fully and Wales and Scotland rejoin our Celtic territories 
Only in the fever dreams of a pagan nationalist of course
