About Me

edit

I'm a musician and a gamer. I also am making music for games.

My favorite RPG ever is Earthbound, and my favorite song in that game is the final battle theme.
My favorite musicians are Mr. Bungle. Followed closely by Naked City. Then Radiohead. Then Tom Waits.
I love tapioca and I hate creamed corn.
I like Taoism.
You can find my music if you google "Melodious Punk" because that's what I call myself when I'm making music.

You can catch me on PSN as snoogans775, I play Critter Crunch every now and then.

The Advantage is mighty.
snoogans775 \| 1:04 AM on 07.18.2009	4 comments

While the NES Advantage is without a doubt the mightiest of all game controllers ever released, the band "The Advantage" more than lives up to it's glorious namesake. I've been learning to play Kraid's lair on the guitar, and I sorted it out tonight, so I decided to go online and see if the Advantage had already performed the moody, desolate tune with the kind of ardor and virtuosity I expect of them.

And they clobbered it. The drummer even mixes it up quite a bit, but still enforces the ever-looming dread and isolation that Kraid's hulking green mass instills in my mind.

I lol'd at that one kid air-guitaring like a maniac in the audience.

The Advantage is pretty awesome. I love their unique sound and the drummer's style. He does a lot of odd-time signature stuff. I must say that my favorite cover of Kraid is from Stemage's Metroid Metal, even though it doesn't do it in the moody way it should be done. I'd say my favorite Advantage covers are Batman Stage 1 (NES), Bubble Bobble, Goonies 2, Solar Jetman: Braveheart Level, and their Double Dragon II stuff.

I also love The Advantage. Wish they'd come out with a 3rd CD...

Between this and Metroid Metal's version of the song, it's hard to pick a favorite.
