Tune for Tuesday for Week of 4/28/2015: “Moonlit Melee” by Michiru Yamane

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Moonlit Melee” by Michiru Yamane, was selected for several reasons. First of all, I’ve been playing a great deal of Skullgirls recently. Though as with a majority of 2D fighting games, I’m not very good at playing it by any means, as with the Darkstalkers and BlazBlue franchises, I easily managed to find enough amazing aspects to enjoy it immensely, with or without any actual skill. Second, I find the name of the piece fitting given my constant evening struggles against the tyranny of school work as of late. Seriously, it’s been far too long since I actually got a good night’s sleep, or even any length of sleep that could be considered even remotely restful. But, most of all, I just love how the song sounds! 

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 4/21/2015: “Everything’s Alright” by Laura Shigihara

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Everything’s Alright” by Laura Shigihara comes to you from a source considered by many to be proof that video games are just as capable of being examples of high art as any other medium of story-telling. I myself firmly agree with that sentiment, and anyone who has experienced To the Moon in its entirety should know all too well the reasons why I say that.

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 4/14/2015: "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay

For the second time in less than a month, I am afraid I must apologize for missing the previous week’s Tune for Tuesday. Therefore, in an attempt to make amends, I bring to you all an incredibly well put together, fan produced music video. I don’t know how many of you may have already seen it before, for I myself could never remember the name of the song nor the band that performed it up until I found this particular video, but even before then, any time I heard the song playing, the melody always managed to grab my attention. But now for some reason I can’t explain, I find myself being swept off my feet and blown away. So without further ado, please allow to share with all of you a LEGO stop motion video produced by Dylan Woodley to the song “Viva la Vida” as performed by Coldplay! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!
