Does your retro game really capture the zeitgeist of the mid 1980s PC gaming scene if it doesn't prominently feature a monophonic square wave rendition of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata?

i think yiseeril was trained as an organist when she was with the children of the passive voice. obviously musical instruction would have been part of her preparation to become a conduit for the patron god of bards, and the aesthetics and drama of church organs are sososo good. an instrument of such colossal proportions that requires full-body dexterity and coordination to manage, the sense of teetering on the precipice of something scarcely controlled but also immensely powerful...

2 things I did not expect when going to my old mentor’s funeral today:

1. That he had an identical twin brother.

2. That after the service I was going to come up the stairs to hear Bach’s Tocatta and Fugue in d minor blasted throughout the sanctuary from the pipe organ by his grandson.

^ my psychedelic* collection that makes up 2/3rds of my whole record shelf hah

^ nobody talks about the back cover of this record ("fuzz iii")

^ thanks, Civic. im gonna frame this setlist cause i don't want dirt in my sleeves. im gonna frame dirt. // one of the funniest records I own. ("dopesmoker" by sleep)

^ i kinda like this album. when I worked at the record store, every time I clocked in, I'd immediately play this album. it drove my co-workers mad but i *always* got positive comments from customers. play something other than the top 50 im begging. anyways, shout out to the girl who,rushed me when "tocatta" came on and very excitedly asked me "WHAT IS THAT?!?!" she said she loved its calamity hehehe me too. im also a whore for electric organ, so. long live keith emerson.

@jalopeura

Check out "Tocatta" by OVERWERK for spooky dancy, "The World Ender" by Lord Huron for world-ending undead revenge, and "My Love Will Never Die" by AG & Claire Wyndham for an immortal couple who are probably both obsessive and maybe also causing the apocalypse!

@viiridiangreen

"High Tide" by brothertiger for 'my life kinda sucks but eh. I'll be fine. I'm just chillin'" floating in bog water vibes, but not so creepy. "77-76" by Royal Canoe for a little more haunting. "My Love Will Never Die" is also a good one if you wanna get a little Creature From the Black Lagoon about it.

"Cypress Queen" by the Last Bison is also very swampy/boggy but not so chill, more terrified/desperate to live.
