You can also just setup a filter to stick gog emails in some folder you never see (or the trash :V). That's what I did.

Bit of a dump, I just cleared out the lingering riding music addition tabs and figured I'd drop the list 'cause they all pre'e good.

Fats Waller - Ada Brown - That Aint Right - Stormy Weather -1943-Solid ol' blues, Ada got the voice.

Fats Waller - Aint Misbehavin - Stormy Weather -1943-Waller's pretty fun in general, really. Don't think this is quite blues, exactly, but it's somewhere in that direction.

Why Dont You Do Right - Peggy Lee - Benny Goodman Orch 1943 Old swing; I pretty regularly listen to a remix by Gramophonedzie, figured I'd finally look up the OG version.

Ella Fitzgerald ft Louis Armstrong - Summertime -Verve Records 1957-Noticed while getting the rest of this that I, well, didn't have a version of Summertime. There's a cover out there, somewhere, I like better, but I couldn't find it and this is my favorite version otherwise. Kinda' iffy on keeping it on the riding playlist 'cause it frankly makes me tear up pretty often, but it's not the only one like that on the thing so I'unno.

Bessie Smith - Lost Your Head Blues There's... some piece of electroswing/blues that uses the vocals for this, though I don't quite remember what song that was, and I tend look into originals in cases like that. It's good ol' blues.

Sing Sing Sing - Louis Prima The OG Sing Sing Sing, the song that inspired the arrangment by Benny Goodman that would go on to be the first swing song ever performed in Carnagie Hall, as well as one of the most iconic pieces of swing music in history, contributing significantly to the genre getting national attention. It's musical history, and it's also a banger, so.

The Doobie Brothers - Black Water Oh black water, keep on rollin'. Damn good bit of bluegrass/country rock from the 70s.

I Wanna Be Like You -Sim Gretina Remix. Speakin' of Louis Prima, lil' factoid is he's the original VA for King Louie. Haven't seen a version of the original I really like yet, but there's two electroswing remixes here. This one's a little better, I think, but they're both pretty nice.

Speakeasy Three - When I get Low, I get High. It's just a nice bit of modern swing.

Bwoy De Bhajan - Universal Squid Express One showcased on Shivelight, which puts up a lot of... well, drug music, frankly. Psydub, tribal stuff, all sorts of things. It's a great channel, frankly. This'un's chill.

Caravan Palace - Plume One of my favs of Caravan Palace. Also not 100% sure it'll stay, though, since it's remarkably melancholy for something so upbeat. Doesn't help I first noticed it existed in the last few months of my grandparent's lives, so there's some definite rough associations related to it. Really damn good, though.

Doobie Brothers Without Love Years and years I remembered the "Down Along the Track, Lost her home and her Family and she won't be comin' back" bit, and somewhere in the last while I finally got around to figuring out where the hell it came from. It came from this. Doobie Brothers got a lot of good music, really.

Electro Swing Remix- Friends On The Other Side Song's fun. All there really is to it. I actually like the original even more, but this is still good stuff.

Emmanuel Séjourné Attraction While back, I had done a youtube search for "hardcore xylophone" after listening to xyloswing one day, and, well. This came up like first results. It fits :V

Friends on the Other Side - Princess and the Frog This'd be that original I like better, heh. It's basically the whole scene, too. Disney villians just got style, some days.

Gramatik Just Jammin Gramatik does a lot of, like, nu-jazz and funk and stuff, or something like that. It's just chill beats.

Naughty Nymphs - Hot Wax - The Chandlers Shop It's hard to find their stuff online (also, likely to pull up porn even on youtube, so be careful with searching for them), and I've actually lost a few tracks over the years, but they're just... really entertaining music-y people. Very NSFW in general, but really good raunchy folk music otherwise. This'un's short and amusing. I really like their rendition of O-Roy-O

Kitten and The Hip - Shut up and Dance Electroswing, I just like its verve.

-Electro Swing Remix- I Wanna Be Like You This is the other remix of this. Like it a little less, but it's still pretty a'ight.

Lil Hardin Armstrong - Her Swing Orchestra - Oriental Swing So, like. This one's interesting because despite being really good old swing, it's frankly racist as hell, but... also a piece of pretty unusual musical history, as for its time it was damn rare for there to be a woman led swing band, wife of Satchmo or not. Still. It's, uh. Really good (unlike calloway's Chinese Rythm ) so in it goes.

Parov Stelar - Booty Swing And this is the remix of it that got me to look up the original. Lyrics are sus as all hell, but damn do it move good.

Mr. Trololo original upload Remarkably good for what became a meme song. Wasn't performed as one originally, but the internet sure did notice it existed, eventually. It's nice. One of the neat things about it is that the original performer (an old soviet singer!) actually lived to see it go viral and blow up online. Reportedly they were tickled pink by it happening, which is a sweet note to its history.

Pastoral Suite- Op. 13b II. Gavotte Bit of classical, composed by Gunnar De Frumerie. Reminded me of Seiken Densetsu's OST, so in it went :V

Pink Panther Theme Song It's... well, it's the Pink Panther theme song. Incredibly iconic bit of jazz.

Rush E I don't really know the, like... history... behind this, but like it I did the hell out of. I just really like frenetic piano and whatnot, and there's apparently an entire genre of music out there that basically make pictures out of the notes being played and to hell with it being capable of being performed by organic hands on real instruments, and that's amazing.

Deladap Shobeedoo -Instrumental- Heard the vocal version in some swing mix video, and was, like. This would be way better without the vocals. They're not terrible, but the instrumentals are goddamn bangin' and the vocals get in the way of 'em. Turned out, the actual artist posted an instrumental version, which is always nice to see when it happens.

Skeewiff - Soul Bossanova It's... just some nice bossanova. Bossanova's neat.

Sonia Elisheva - Black Sea Whistle intro hooked me pretty good, the korobeiniki (most people probably know it better as the tetris theme, ha) riff kept me for the rest of it, heh. Swing-ish, video calls it neo-swing.

Suspai Funk- Miss Nagatoro Gods help me, but I like the vocals. That kind of style in general is consistently appealing to me. Maker has a pile of others I haven't really dug in to.

Tape Five - Bad boy Good man Just a nice bit of swing.

Where Theres a Whip Theres a Way goddamn thing is still stuck in my head several days after kvetching about it in the wtf thread

Was -Not Was- - Walk The Dinosaur It's still kinda' wild a song about nuclear apocalypse made it into a movie ostensibly for younger audiences. Bit where the bombs actually drop is pretty chilling lyrics, even. Video is 80s as hell, though.

Red Axes - Sun My Sweet Sun tinglinglingting

Man, bad ol' FE, heh. I'd agree pretty readily the GBA ones were the best of the series when they landed, at the absolute minimum. I think I've played all of them up to that point, though none past. Quite possibly my least favorite SRPG series, design wise, ha.

... that said, I've never once managed to keep playing one of them without eventually turning off the weapon durability. Gods fuck that is the single most irritating part of the entire series's design, and they're significantly more enjoyable to play with it nixed as a concern. Worst part is they're generally not even much easier with weapon durability disabled -- in practice, it's just about never really any major issue outside of being bloody annoying and forcing you into doing extra (unnecessary!) inventory management.

One of these days, they're going to pull their head out their bum and consign that nonsense to an optional "i hate myself" mode, blech. It's not like you can't design around not having it, more than a few games harping on FE's style does away with it, and they're all the better for it.

Checking some gameplay vids of that, basically first actual combat whoever was playing it kicked a monkey in the balls and then beat it to death jojo style.

That's pretty amazing, yup.

Hey now-- you can't just give a description like that and not enough information to find the video!

It was here; the monkey fights start around the 19th minute, the moment being referenced at about 20:50.

Though do note I give absolutely no endorsement of whoever made the vid; I had the sound off watching and have no idea what sort of channel they're running. It was just the first one I ran across checking for vids, so if they're saying something horrible I couldn't tell

Eehhh... I'm not even sure I'd count it? Sci-fi's technically there, but it's way more fantasy/punch magic than anything to do with shooty laser stuff. You could include DB stuff if you feel like, but it's definitely not anywhere close to traditional schlock sci-fi.

Maybe, but there's like... dozens. Of gods that would do something like that, if they existed and got the whim to.

If there actually are any around, there's no goddamn way to tell which one it is. Bonus points, some of them supposedly get pissy if you guess wrong, so have fun with that one, ha.

Yeah, just... my condolences, I guess, on the relatively mundane or troublesome dreams? Condolences isn't quite the right word, but it's something adjacent.

It's something that lands kinda' personally, because I'd give pretty good odds on having killed myself by now if my dream brain wasn't so good to me. It's like the sole and solitary part of human biology that isn't some variety of regularly miserable for me, and basically the only thing that makes sleep something other than low-key torture. If I didn't have consistently awesome dreams, I'd be a hell of a lot worse off

I mean, sure, but there's far more copacetic groups, like some of the christobuddhists or whatever they are. Knew a radical ordained christian preacher/minister (old college prof, though I forget which denominations they originated from) at one point that had published some stuff on possible connections between jesus and buddhism (stuff like investigating the possibly ol' streaker J took off eastwards after resurrection, iirc), and there's denominations out there holding beliefs along those lines.

They're not nearly as large as the mormons, but it's not like there aren't groups that expand on canon that have far less baggage. There's piles of 'em, really.
