I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.
Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.
Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for
In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.
Someone mentioned Brodyquest in the comments of my last blog post, which reminded me that I hadn't yet posted anything from Neil Cicierega's most recent mashup album. Well, time to fix that.
Indeed. I would almost say that is is too good: there are (to my ears) too many different bits blended together that I cannot pick out which is which in order to fully appreciate the mashups.
I have always loved Crocodile Chop: Elton's cheerful "La-la-la-la-la-la!" and Serj's angry, shouty "DIIIEEE!" always brings a doofy smile to my face.
The song is an instrumental/electronic piece called "Popcorn"
Thanks.
I could have sworn this was from some recent anime/video game thing on Youtube (TouHou perhaps?). I looked into the history in Wikipedia Almighty and came away surprised and shocked. Hard to believe that it is nearly 50 years old and is contemporary with Come together!
Apparently this has been covered and sampled pretty much continuously for the last ~50 years by dozens and dozens of artists: Muse
Oslo String Quartet
Fiddler's Green (!)
And this chap who apparently is a human Pinkie Pie.
Back on topic, Mr Neil's ACVC threw a spanner in my mind's gears.
I still cannot believe he actually did that! Between ACVC, Crocodile Chop, Floor Corn, and now Smooth, I am absolutely going to flummox everyone at the next karaoke sing-along!
4443379 Yes, this is the sort of crazy-pants I expect from Neil C. I do wonder as to the entranced fascination with "All Star." Is it just the fact that it was so massively overexposed in the late 90s that it's left a hole in the collective national psyche?
This man is some sort of wizard. "Smooth Flow" still blows my mind every time.
What is the background music to this? It sounds so maddeningly familiar.

Hence "corn" in the title.
4442809 - If you liked "Smooth Flow," the new album has a different approach to "Smooth."

And I didn't even mention the outtakes yet.
