Artist: "Weird Al" Yankovic
Song: I'll Sue Ya
Album: Straight Outta Lynwood
Genre: Parody
I feel like the last couple days have been a little darker in the tune department, so here's some nice fun music again.
Weird Al's been making bang up covers and parodies since the 80s, and I'll Sue Ya is no exception. I feel like I say that for every one of his songs I post... Anyway, this isn't a straight cover, more a song that was inspired by an artist. He's done this many times in the past usually with great success. This one is in the style of Rage Against The Machine, and if you watch the video you'll see a couple hints at that. Mostly in Al's dreads and the guitarist clearly playing Tom Morello's guitar.
You know what everybody needs this time of year? Something to laugh at. This is a little bit of a crazy time of year for anybody involved in ministry because it's one of the big two holidays. My friend calls them Kreasters, my one pastor called the CEOs, but they both mean the same thing: People who only show up to church on Christmas and Easter.
This, obviously enough, makes things stressful as we all work to see how we can get people to come to church year round instead of just at the one time of year. The areas I work in are really heavily tied into this.
So yeah, let's pull in one of my favorite parody artists to lighten the mood, eh?
Weird Al's polka infused music has and always will be some of my favorite stuff to just laugh at. The work he does to get the songs to sound the same as the originals is amazing and all of his originals are always funny.
Enjoy some off beat christmas music to step back with.
Happy New Year all! It's been a fun 3 months so far, hasn't it? I feel like the new year should be heralded in by the best of last year though, so let's get to it.
Let's preface this by saying that I'm not really an authority on all music since my primary focus was with metal this year, but I still think this will be a good list.
No let us start in no particular order.
Septicflesh - Titan
I found these guys some time last year and they became my favorite artist for something like a good 6 months, which for anybody familiar with my music tastes you know that's actually a really long time to hold the top spot.
Demon Hunter - Extremist
Demon Hunter is a band that I've loved since I first was introduced to metal. They currently hold the award of "That band I always wonder why I stop listening to them ever" that other bands have had till I listened to them again. These guys are my favorite band ever so far and I think you should give this album a listen, because it's legitimately amazing.
Cannibal Corpse - A Skeletal Domain
You may remember this album gracing the list as my first ever album review. It still holds a place as a really good album and one of the best I heard last year. To be totally fair, I missed a lot of stuff from last year, but this is still good stuff if you like Death Metal.
Whitechapel - Our Endless War
I was on a Whitechapel kick when this album came out, so I got it. It's still Deathcore though and that doesn't appeal to a lot of people. As an album though it's not too bad. Some kinda dumb sounding lyrics, but the music makes up for it.
Alestorm - Sunset on the Golden Age *I was unable to find the full album, so a single song will have to do.
I didn't even realize this was a new album when I bought it last month, but as it turns out this was a really good choice to make. It's a solid Alestorm album and a pretty goof Folk Metal album as well. If you liked the one song I posted before you should listen to this because it's all really good.
Weird Al - Mandatory Fun
I know guys.
"Whoa, Noah likes stuff that's not metal? No, this must be a lie."
"Dude no, he posts crappy rap music all the time too, so you know his taste in music is garbage."
However you may feel about Weird Al I will tell you that he is a genius. This was his last album that will be released he has said so that he can keep up with music better. All singles and such from here on out. As you listen you'll note that he has songs on here that were "in" quite a while ago now, so you can see where he's coming from.
