Let's share some music notions! In a lot of the discussions of music I've heard I feel the boat was missed on a few bands. Also I rediscovered an album in the context of the game and I thought I'd share some of my new obsessions/favorites.

Johnny Cash-No really, the Man in Black's American albums are rife with beauty and genius. Of course, When the Man Comes Around is a good one that I suspect people love, but I have to add some others.

God's Gonna Cut You Down-Good one for a prefight getting geared up. Especially for any Fists of God types.
No Grave Can Hold This Body Down-Another good mood builder for dealing with the ghostly side of the street
Rusty Cage (cover)-Foot chase music
Hurt-Right when the bad guy is about to do your party rotten and hit them where it hurts emotionally and dramatically speaking.

Bran Flakes-This group specializes in weirdtronica. They make sound sculptures more than music. Like They Might Be Giants, some of it might be too abstract for use, but they have a few that will blow your mind.

Lovely Sleigh Ride-AWESOME chase music. Quirky and fun and creepy.

The Enchanted Bus-goes from moody to frantic. Very rhythm driven. Not percussion driven, rhythm driven.

Nina Simone-She's got one of the most emotionally raw but technically amazing voices and interesting orchestrations.

I Put a Spell on You-Good game opener

A New Dawn A New Day (And I'm feelin' good)-There's a dark undertone to the brass that just makes a good foreshadowing in an otherwise Summer Day kind of song

Pirate Jenny-Again, a piano rhythm driven piece that just exudes creepy madness and evil. Her vocals are wonderfully manic, and that might interrupt your brain but still worth it.

Arcade Fire-These guys make BIG music. Their sound is epically scaled in its orchestration, so while it's not metal or rock it's well made noise. It's a wall of good emotional work.

My Body is a Cage-Wait til it kicks in with the organ. You will thank me.

Dark Mirror-more creepy fun. Good vampire music.

Wolfmother-If Led Zeppilin was just messing about, they'd be these guys. Great battle music. I could sound track most of the Dresden Files with these guys. I'm just gonna throw titles at you.

Earth's Rotation Around the Sun
Joker and the Thief
Dimension
Colassal
Witchcraft

The Black Keys-Blues/rock produced with hip/hop ears, these guys rock so hard you will grow chest hair. Fight music, bad guy bad ass theme music, again, I could track the whole series with these guys.

Chop and Change
Sinister Kid
Man of Steel
Nothing Like You
Set You Fre
Hoochie Coo with Mos Def

Parlor Mob-if Led Zepplin were covering Wolfmother, they'd be these guys.

My Favorite Heart to Break-Again, for when the Bad Guy has the upper hand and things are looking grim. When your heroes have to fight another day.

Hard Headed
Carnival of Crows
Everything Your Breathing For
Hard Times-RALLY!

The Decemberists-Like Arcade Fire lots of emotion and orchestration, but with simpler instruments. Lots of a real creepy-folksy feel. Good to get the hairs on the neck to stand up.

When the War Came-Epic fight music
Shankhill Butchers-Good cutaway creepy music
A Cautionary Song-ditto

Lupe Fiasco-He's got a couple of moody gems
I'm Beamin
Little Weapon

Jedi Mind Tricks-Language Warning. This is some of the angriest rap I've heard in a while. But the music is great.

Khublai Khan
Omnicron
Army of the Pharaohs
and many many more for your fight scene needs.

Tom Waits-It's Tom Waits.

Book of Moses
Goin Out West

Angelo Badalementi and the Kronos Quartet

Both of these orchestral composers/groups are amazing for creepy.

These are just some of my favorites...Yours?

Alex should have gotten that part. The role of Miranda should be hers by all rights. Instead the director put his daughter in the role AND stuck her back stage. The nerve! It's not like she'd mess up something about the performance... Right?

I have to say that as a techie I'd be SHOCKED. Appalled. Blacklisted. No matter how bad you hate them, you don't mess with the show. Now that's not to say there's nothing one can DO. We can make YOU look bad without making the SHOW look bad. It's a subtle, vengeful art.

Guess I'm just not real world crazy enough. However, there are a few of those questions that I felt were silly. I mean, it's not that I disbelieve than any of this can be real, I just know which parts Jim made up, or at least changed the names on   Besides, of COURSE Demonreach wouldn't show up on Google earth. It hides.

I have friends getting my book signed. Least they could do since I loaned it to them so the wait wouldn't be agonizing

Or...make them trade goals. Does someone else have something they really want that has nothing to do with the goal? Yeah. You're gonna need that on you're desk by friday. Been making a super awesome wand of awesome? Neat. Can I have that?

Or to ask a different way, is there a difference, mechanically between a fist and a knife if they do the same damage?

i was gonna give a "guardian of a place" sponsored magic to a player. varying levels of strength and toughness and dominion over affiliated things depending on physical proximity.

It is guns...or do you mean in the Skills section...and fair enough on the latter.
