And here’s to all the rebels and the ones who never settled
They were with me all along
They wandered undercover as I hungered for a lover
And I wondered what when wrong
I haven’t posted in ages, and I feel bad about that. Have a Star War!
“Underneath the Mask,” by Beth Kinderman. I got to sing with Beth at Marscon this year, she’s great. Anyone who ends up at a convention in the Midwest somewhere, I strongly advise looking for her.
Sung by Beth Kinderman, featuring Justin Hartley on drums and Dave Stagner on electric guitar and synths.
Another post-apocalyptic song by Leslie Fish, sung by Mark Heiman. This is one of my favorite Fish songs, but I’ve never actually heard it sung by her.
It’s been said that a lot of sci-fi over-glorifies the role of what are essentially trucker drivers in space, but…it would be really cool to be a truck driver in space, so I’m not sure what the problem is.
“Truck Driver To The Stars,” written by Richard Glover, performed by Richard Glover and an unknown combination of several people who are listed on the Bandcamp.
Hey, the new song is up! There are actually several new songs in the pipeline but this is the one that’s finished right now. It’s called “Thirteen,” and it’s a free download, though you can always hit the tip jar if you like it.
I made it for Conflikt, where I was MCing as Toastmuppet this past weekend. It’s a filk convention – geek music goes back a while, this is a geek folk music (“filk”) con – so of course I made them some geek folk metal, a semi-cover of the Vixy & Tony track “Thirteen.”
Their original isn’t about Doctor Who contemplating his own mortality after running out of regenerations, though. That’s just my version. I was all, “What’s the filkiest thing I can do for this con? Oh, I know, take a well-known filk track and make it even geekier by making it about the Doctor.”
More on Conflikt tomorrow. I shot parts of the con with a fisheye-lens film camera. YEAH I SAID FILM IT IS HILARIOUS I HAD TO STEAL IT FROM THE PRESIDENT ORDER IT FROM JAPAN. I also said fisheye, because the camera was a gift and it has a fisheye lens and you can’t turn it off. FULL-THROTTLE FISHINESS BEGINS TOMORROW!
Assuming the film comes out. I don’t even know. I sure hope it does, I’m not joking about it being imported from the home islands. It’s the last place you can buy ISO 1600 colour film as far as I know.
Okay that’s enough words. LESS TALK MORE FILK!
“Duet with a Klingon,” by Carla Ulbrich, with Dan Hart as the Klingon
A touching song about interspecies love and communication. Apparently, Dan Hart actually speaks Klingon fluently.
hey look, this happened
real post tomorrow, too sleepy atm, just got back from con
enjoy music about the thirteenth doctor contemplating his own mortality (even if that was topical for like six weeks THANKS MOFFAT)
@axonsandsynapses sent me this song and all I could say was “oh fcuk,” and I still think that’s the most appropriate response
“The Force Is The Force” by Carla Ulbrich, to the tune of “A Horse Is A Horse”…of course
