Tuesday, May 21, 2024: TWOfer Tuesday - Fallout Edition

 

I've never been more excited about a post I knew so little about.

Apparently, there is this video game series called, * checks notes * Fallout, is that right?

Well, anyway, I hear it's pretty popular.  So much so, in fact, that they made an 8 episode TV series based on the video game.  I know, right? 

If you know, you know. I'm 55 years old.  I didn't know, so now I sort of know, but not really.

All I do really know is that the soundtrack to this series is AMAZING, and I guess the music is also based on the soundtrack of the videogames. 

Whenever you can, check out the soundtrack to either the games, or the TV series.

Either way, you are going to be treated to some golden age music that, I totally believe, will still be relevant and cool in 291 years.

"Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life." -  Drummer and bandleader Art Blakely

It's Saturday.  Sleep in, if you can.  Take a long bath.  

Wash away the dust of everyday life.

Whenever I listen to Monster Magnet, my neighbors listen to them to.

Crank it up.

"You can wear your fur like the river on fire.
But you better be sure if you're makin' God a liar.
I'm a rattlesnake, babe, I'm like fuel on fire.
So if you're gonna' get made, don't be afraid of what you've learned."

What do Goldie (Drum & Bass Icon, Producer and DJ), Rob Halford (lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Judas Priest) and Jorja Smith have in common?

They are all, in various ways, connected to the West Midlands market town of Walsall.  Who would have thought, eh?

But, today, it's Jorja Smith we are here to celebrate.  From her Wiki, "Her debut studio album, Lost & Found, was released in 2018 to critical acclaim, and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart. The same year, Smith won the Brit Critics' Choice Award. In 2019, she was named Best British Female Artist at the Brit Awards and was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist."

That's a pretty great run, and totally deserved, she is an incredible talent who hopefully will continue to produce these glorious slices of soul for many years. 

Enjoy.
