Bonus Song: John Lennon - Imagine

84 years ago, on October 9th, 1940, John Lennon was born. He later died in 1980 at the age of 40. He was best known for his time in The Beatles, which I believe is still the most successful rock band in history (with a close second being either the Stones or Zeppelin).

Bonus Song: Linkin Park - Papercut

From the 2000 album Hybrid Theory

24 years ago, on this day in 2000, Linkin Park released the album Hybrid Theory, one of the most successful and influential albums of all time.

So, since I posted the main blog rather late, I was intending for no bonuses.

However, I take new album releases seriously, and I just discovered AViVA had released an album on the 22nd and. I. Missed. It.

Just listened to it, loved it.

Bonus Song: AViVA - POISONOUS

From the 2024 album JT XXII

Bonus Song #1: Super Mario Bros. Theme
From the 1985 game Super Mario Bros.

Why does this go so hard?
39 years ago, on October 18th, 1985, the NES console was released. Either officially, or just in the US, not sure which, but that date comes up a lot, so I'm sticking with it.
