Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Oneohtrix Point Never did a video for the track Animals starring Val Kilmer. It is so minimal that you are not sure if this is it but still you cannot not watch. Anyhow, I like it.
Pitchfork writes that “Kilmer is falling asleep on the side of a bed”. What did these guys watch? He is clearly listening to the track. That is the best part of the whole thing.
Dark City meets Ex Machina meets something from the wild west. This pilot was great, I’ll be curious to see where we are going from here, or what greater plot pans out.
Also, Black Hole Sun played by the saloon’s automatic piano, and the Pain It Black under the shooting scene… Pretty much wow music choices and covers.
Footnote: HBO goes mad this year with doing The Night Of first, and then this.
Sci-fi horror soundtrack music with retro futuristic synth themes.
Post-hardcore and prog rock. Music to shout with.
Ambient, piano, strings, soft noises, blue beats if any. Music for watching an asteroid impact, penetrate and destroy earth in slow motion. Music to see rain falling backwards by.
Experimental compositions for heartache.
Dark techno. Yes, please.
After watching Mr. Robot’s S02E08 and heard Portia Doubleday sing Everybody Wants to Rule the World in a karaoke bar I got totally hooked on the tune and just couldn’t let it go from my head. And since the whole thing started with someone else singing the song and it was not the original Tears For Fears version, I started searching for even more renditions of this track.
This is how I came across the 2014 Spotify Landmark recording of the song with the original band just 30 years after and it’s an awesome video to watch, also the guys just totally kill it even 30 years later. This video is right here below, and then there are some more covers after it that I found interesting.

This is so truly amazing. Makes me think of the new concept of continuously releasing Star Wars spin-off movies like the upcoming Rogue One, and how great it would be if the SW universe expanded in a way that it allows for some new and unique styles for any of these side projects. So that anything like this homage trailer could be the real and actually used styles of any of the upcoming movies.
I don’t consider myself a Star Wars fan. I watch the movies every now and then, have some SW fun on 4th May, but mostly admire the universe, which expanded upon and after the original trilogy. I participated in Star Wars RPG way back as a child, read some great books placed in the SW universe, played some good video games, and just recently had serious fun with the X-Wing miniatures tabletop.
There is so much potential and the standard movies even with the currently running third set of movies capture so little of all that depth and vastness of the Star Wars universe. And allowing for more spin-off stylings like this fan-made trailer showcases could really blow the whole thing up and allow for even many more new and exciting angles to explore.
Heavy. Deep. Touching. And all that once again. And again. Powerful. This is nothing I have seen coming, and a beautiful surprise that is.
In a way reminds me of the latest Karyn Crisis record, and that is a good thing. Oh yes, that is a good thing. These records make me believe once again and again that metal is here to stay with me.
