What song are you listening to right this minute?

I am choosing a modern song...
Hailee Steinfeld - Capital Letters

[Cyrusso]

I slapped in Devo's greatest hits into my CD player and currently listening to "Through being cool".

So it's a little-known fact that Castlevania 3 has a slightly different soundtrack in Japan than it did in the states. Japan's version could play more instruments at the same time, while America's version had a cleaner, less distorted sound. So someone mixed the audio from both to create this, to get the best of both worlds. If you've heard the Castlevania 3 soundtrack a jillion times, give it a listen. It's pretty amazing to hear the subtle transformation.

That's great and all Pak, but Symphony of the night, Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin have the best soundtracks in all of Castlevania. Oh yeah and Castlevania: Curse of Darkness has a pretty sweet soundtrack too. Not to mention Vomitron covered the soundtrack to Castlevania 2... which was definitely by far the best thing about that game.

Heck yeah. Castlevania is right up there with Mega Man and Zelda when it comes to series that ALWAYS have an awesome soundtrack. Super Castlevania IV might be my personal favorite, actually. I love early Super Nintendo music. There was this sense of, "Look at all of these special effects we can add to our music! Turn them ALL on!"

It's a little like Rick James, Prince, and MJ had a baby.

The rejected theme for the Ready Player One movie.

[BathTub]

That's about right.

This came on in the car a little while ago as I was turning, the turn signal clicking sound blended in with the tapping of the claves  really nicely:

So because I'm THAT much of a Weird Al fan, I listened to the Hamilton soundtrack while I worked today. I enjoyed it more than I expected to enjoy a hip-hop historical musical. The songs are surprisingly not irritating, the story is surprisingly compelling, and it's pretty darned clever. I get the hype. Not gonna rush out and spend a fortune on Broadway tickets or anything, but I don't regret it.

That's pretty fantastic. Not familiar with them. Yet.
