QA Music: Gimlet Suggests

The Director — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 09:38:34 +0000

Poor Gimlet. All the time, he a-send me Scandinavian and German death metal songs hoping to entice me to post them as QA music, and what sticks?

Super Mario Brothers: The 8-Bit Opera

and Conan: The Musical

I can’t help it if Finnish dark metal sounds all the same to me (well, except there are more double-a vowel sounds than American dark metal), but these dang things stick in my head.

QA Music: Epoch

The Director — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 09:48:06 +0000

I’ve done Faith No More’s “Epic”, so here’s Narrow Heart’s “Epoch”:

Kid punk bands are so cute, thinking that the twenty-two years of their lifetimes comprise any sort of long-time noun.

QA Music: The Annual Wish List

The Director — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 09:43:36 +0000

Stan Freberg, “Nuttin’ for Christmas”:

And for today’s testing exercise: Is QA more like the poet-narrator of the song or more like the snitch?

QA Music: About Those Timelines

The Director — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 09:11:11 +0000

It’s both a fairy tale of lies, but you still must go Faster, from Within Temptation’s 2011 album The Unforgiving.

QA Music: Flying High Again

The Director — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 09:52:21 +0000

Who amongst us hasn’t been a bad, bad boy? Ozzy Osbourne with "Flying High Again" from the 1981 album Diary of a Madman.
