Game Related Music (In Honor of E3)

Another apology for lack of updates. Anyways... I thought I'd unload quite a few different game related bits of music today in honor of E3 (biggest gaming expo of the year) this month. I've already done some like Jonathan Coulton's songs, 8 Bit Weapon, and the video game theme website but I also wanted to give some more.

First up is another fun 8-Bit renditioning of a classic. The entire Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon" has been redone very faithfully in an 8-Bit style and is a really good listen especially for those that appreciate the original album. The author's website contains several different zip files of the album so pick your favorite and download!

Next up is a great compilation album in tribute to the Sega Genesis from a bunch of different artists. Simply entitled "Loser," it contains music related to nearly every good game from the console with many of them being really good. There are a couple bad nerdcore raps but the majority is very entertaining. It even contains a cover of "Billie Jean" in accordance with MJ's Moonwalker...

And lastly this site contains many more game related albums but they can be really hit or miss so venture at your own risk. Oh wait, one more. A fun and hilarious rap to an old mario game BUT IT IS HIGHLY VULGAR!! WATCH AT OWN RISK!!! Enjoy!!!

Rainbow

In tribute to Ronnie James Dio's passing this past month (due to cancer), I thought it only fitting to offer a great song from his days in Rainbow. The song "Kill The King (Live)" is available on Amazon from a live cd in Munich from 1977. Great song by one of the greatest metal vocalists to have ever lived. I was blessed enough to see him with Black Sabbath (Heaven and Hell) as my first real rock show. He will be missed.



As an extra treat, check out this old music video cartoon to a song he sang. Trippy but beautifully animated video, amazing song, and Dio singing rock make this something not to miss. Enjoy!!

Goot: Revisited

In making up for my absence, prepare for several new entries!! But I'll start with Goot (who I have mentioned before) who has more music up. Recently he posted several new covers including "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, "She's So High" by Tal Bachman, and "Fireflies" by Owl City. Unfortunately "Beat It" and "She's So High" are not free but are available on iTunes. "Fireflies" on the other hand is free from his website. All three are very well done and worth checking out. Both the vids below are amazing as well. Enjoy!!!
