Rendal's Picks

Ever wonder when people say they bring up the original Bejeweled for the music what exactly they meant? Well this would be it. When you start a game up this is what loops in the background.

The song is called 1984-Network and can be downloaded as an MP3 by Clicking Here

A bit of a odd one I know but I wanted to do these and while it might be better to do it in two parts as they are so short, at only about 15 minutes total, I just threw them in together.

All links are to videos.

First set is the three songs Jerry Reed wrote for Smokey and the Bandit.

The Legend

The Bandit

East Bound and Down

Second are the only two Evangeline songs I can find on the internet.

Bayou Boy-from the album Evangeline

Let's Go Spend Your Money Honey-from the album French Quarter Moon

This set came about after hearing the Sheryl Crow songs on the TV one night. after getting them the idea for a show popped up.

Sheryl Crow-All I Wanna Do

Natalie Merchant-Carnival

k.d. lang-If I Were You

Joan Osbourne-What If God Was One Of Us

Crash Test Dummies-Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Bobby McFerrin-Don't Worry, Be Happy

Sheryl Crow-Every Day Is A Winding Road

Today's show is centered around a video game, an old one. I've had Monopoly 1995 for many years and always loved the music in it, So I found a MIDI to MP3 program and converted them all. The downside, there are no titles I can find so no track list unfortunately. Game made by Westwood.

17 Tracks, Playtime about 55 minutes

Thanks to the bumper I discovered the Ambient artist Mooma. What I'm playing today is Herd Forming, the album that Entropy is on, that's the name of the background in Urgelt's video. It runs a little over an hour so its a long one but worth it I think. All tracks obviously credited to Mooma.

Bumper:Urgelt-A Grain of Sand

They've Killed Our Cubs

Phenotype

Don't Bring Light Into This Place

Presence

Entropy

Shelter

Hello Dawn Horizon

The Herd Forming Song

this was an OH Shit moment where I realized I hadn't come up with any ideas yet (I have one for next week though, fair warning its going over an hour :P). I tossed in a couple of web series themes as well for fun.

Yvette Blais/Jeff Michael/Erika Lane-Fat Albert Theme

Neil Sutherland-Mythbuster's Theme

Ian "Podnuk"Dorsch-Zero Punctuation Theme

Stewart Copland-The Equalizer Theme

Mark Snow-Millenium Theme

Christopher Gunning-Poirot Theme

Patrick Gowers-221B Baker Street (Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes)

Whorecraft Theme (composer sadly unknown :/)

Bill Haley-Rock Around The Clock (Happy Days Theme)

Stars on 45-TV Themes Medley

Colon Towns-Brother Cadfael Chant & End

OK this one came about when I got a couple of songs in my head and thought it would be fun to to build a play list around them. Like the title says this is most likely not safe to play at work because of the language and themes in the songs.

Songs Played

Bumper:Velvet Acid Christ-Phucking Phreak

Lordi:SCG3 Special Report

Phunk Junkies-Devil Woman

Whale-Hobo Humping Slobo Babe

I've been feeling really lost since I stepped down from a volunteer job in SL I had for two and a half years as a group coordinator and have had trouble getting motivated to do much of anything since. I wanted to do a show today and it took me a while to find a song but this one fits my situation well I think.

Lyrics

if i could only be the queen of popularity

things would just come to me

so easily

what i would do

what I would do

if i could always be

miss congeniality

no one could stand to be

away from me

what i would do

what i could do

i could do anything

if i were you

i would have everything

if i were you

what i would do ...

what i could do ...

i could do anything

if i were you

i would have everything

if i were you

Today I'm playing I guess the evolution of a song, Aerosmith's Walk This Way.

First up we have the original, then followed by a collaboration with RUN-DMC, a 1998 remix of the collaboration and finally one labeled Girls Aloud vs Sugarbabes. Enjoy.

OK due to life and laziness I'm playing the songs I play as background music, enjoy :)
