Wildfire Riders

My love of vidya gaem music trumps all.

This time, I've stumbled upon some music from the up-and-coming Final Fantasy XIII (due out March, at last check). Uematsu's not the composer; Sakimoto, same guy that did XII seems to be the one here, but it's increasingly obvious he's taken up the mantle really damn well. Give a listen if you're in the mood for some good old-fashioned JRPG audio joy.

Fight music. Epic violin is epic. May be my new favorite RPG "regular" battle music to date (replacing that from Xenosaga I)

Theme of Lightning, heroine. You can hear the leitmotif that's going to be undoubtedly cropping up throughout.

Theme of something to do with the good guys. Definitely got that old-school fantasy feel.

Some triumphant/fanfare-y music. Dunno what this goes to, but it sounds like something you'd like, muster an army to go slay a bunch of dragons to.

Chocobo theme. Your old chocobos were tricycles, scooters, and import sedans. Your new chocobo is a pimp machine.

My headspace is cluttered right now. But I like it.

Ever feel like you're tripping out on drugs even when you're not? Let Jupiter sing you a tune. Yes, Jupiter. the Planet.

I <3 SCIENCE

I've been listening to a ton of the Black Keys, I can't recommend them enough - it's two guys from Ohio, but their sound reminds me of a power trio featuring Ginger Baker (Cream) on drums, Paul Rodgers (Free, Bad Company, etc) doing vocals, and guitar rocked out by Jimi Hendrix during his blues phase. Check 'em out:

Thanks to White Stripes Radio on Pandora, I was introduced to Metric. I'm trying to figure out if I like them - kind of a poppier Stars. Here's the song that introduced me to them:

Thanks to Jack White, there are two other bands on my "must buy" CD list.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7QSkI6My1g = Dead Weather: Treat Me Like Your Mother

I'm going to hell, I'm convinced.

I've been listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUeb3a4c4l4

country music. Blame Arrens.

I have rediscovered my love of fire.

FANTASTIC taste.

I'm a techno junkie, and the Crystal Method's new album Divided by Night has me thrashing wildly.
