Around six years ago, this new flavor came out and sounded interesting. Cinnamon-flavored Pepsi. What could go wrong? This was the worst thing I've ever tasted. At no point did it taste pleasant and of all the people in our work office that tried one of the 12-pack of cans, no one said they liked it. Many of the cans were poured out after…
The year was 1975. I was not alive. A young dude named Brian Eno released his third album called Another Green World, a collection of art rock, minimalism that is both timeless and highly accessible. Many of the tracks are instrumentals delving into ambient and electronic sensibilities. One of my favorite tracks, "Sombre Reptiles," is delightfully layered and warm. There are also notable guest…
Yes, there is technically one more month left in this year, but I do not care. I am doing my year end music retrospective now! I think the reality is that there will not be any music coming out in the next 30 days that is so good it will be added to this list and really, I just want this damn year to…
While creating Kazoo 2: The Rescue, we thought about adding a boss character, but ultimately decided that was not in the spirit of the game. The idea is to evoke nostalgia of arcade games from the 70s/80s where you just grind for hours trying to get the highest score possible. Upon recommendation from a beta tester, we decided to add some enemy variety to…
Billy and the boyz are back with a new album called CYR. I have been a lifelong fan of the Smashing Pumpkins and they were particularly important during my formative years. The last decade of their output has been a bit of a disappointment, but I try to approach every new album with renewed optimism. I fully understand that the songwriting can never return…
Hey, turkey, have a Happy Thanksgiving. Even though you can't see all your family, you can still stuff your face and watch football.
It's a story of privilege and class when a family must come to grips with their wealthy patriarch's death by suicide and what that means for their pampered lifestyle. Daniel Craig plays the Sherlock Holmes private investigator Benoit Blanc, who doesn't even know who hired him (part of the mystery). While all the family members seem innocent enough, each has some level of motive…
See Oldest Son play Kazoo 2: The Rescue (and die a lot). Also, there is a video that shows what happens when you enter the cheat code (beware of Spoilers). https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRtEdQHS6eQAIvbsmMnCq8xlBZGRRu7le
Awhile ago, a friend was working on a little game for a programming class project and I said I would make some background music for him. I ended up producing 10 tracks that I think are pretty good. The game never went beyond the class project, but I decided that the world needs this music anyway. Without further ado, I give to you the…
