Found that pic last time I posted a song by Weezer, and actually listened to that album just so I could use it. (Another case of a CD that I borrowed, because otherwise it wouldn't be able to meet the criteria for inclusion in the main series.)

Got...got an interesting mess of a blog this time around, folks.

Cool spiral drawing with some gradient shading I did on the 7th.

Every so often, I remember that I can go to Google, type in "tape deck fimfiction", and see a lot of the images and videos I've posted in blogs show up in the image search function.

Well I did that, and everything was fine.

As of today, I am finally done with some irl stuff I've been behind on for a while.

You know what...

I'm gonna call this one a Twofer Tuesday.

heh

I honestly love continuing to reuse this image whenever I post Van Halen.

I should have technically put a V there—as I've actually posted five of their songs—but the first time was in a Bonus Track blog I made before I first saw that picture.

"Don't Stop Me", from the 2010 non-album single Don't Stop Me/The Gun is Good by Orbital.

The female vocals that repeat throughout are sampled from "Video Killed the Radio Star" from the Buggles, and it quite pleased me when I recognized them on my first listen to this song.

A headshot version of that was a possible choice for what my current pfp would be, but her mouth not being visible looked a little weird.

Besides, the one I did choose is adorable.

"Like a Song...", from the 1983 album War by U2.

It's not like I care that much about posting her today, but I'd probably regret missing the opportunity.

"I'm Finding It Harder to Be a Gentleman", from the 2001 album White Blood Cells by the White Stripes.

A rare example of Aphex Twin actually singing on a song of his.

"Beetles", from the 1996 release Girl/Boy EP by Aphex Twin

And Now, For Something Completely Different

(kinda)

"Fingerbib (arr. J. Newman)", from the 2005 album Acoustica by Alarm Will Sound, a 20-piece chamber orchestra.

I mean, if I didn't have some level of appreciation for my country, it'd be pretty weird.

The geography is amazing, and the people are cool, but as a political entity...yeah, no thanks.

Fireworks go boom.

"Rattled", from the 1988 album Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 by the Traveling Wilburys.

It's...it's kind of weird to be making one of these from my laptop.

I mean, I always do the bonus tracks on it, but never the main series.

"Dead", from the 1990 album Flood by They Might Be Giants.

"Your Racist Friend", same album.
