Tune for Tuesday for Week of 10/28/2025: "Friends on the Other Side" by Keith David

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Friends on the Other Side" by Keith David, is easily one of my favorite villain songs. Felt fitting to share it this time around, given what holiday is coming in a few days. 

Tune for Tuesday 10/21/2025: "Moebius Battle" by ACE

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Moebius Battle" by ACE, is one heck of a fitting piece for spooky month. It's a fantastically intimidating boss theme from one of my absolute favorite video games, excelling in in both gameplay and narrative: Xenoblade Chronicles 3!

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 10/14/2025: "Hotel California" by the Eagles

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "Hotel California" by the Eagles, is one that I've been meaning to share for a while, and given we're about halfway through spooky month (and that it started playing while I was driving earlier today), I figured it was time. After all, this song (and possibly a lot of its themes) are known for drawing in unsuspecting targets, seducing them so thoroughly that they remain unaware they are trapped until it is far too late.

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 7/1/2025: "Molasses To Rum" from 1776

This week’s Tune for Tuesday, “Molasses to Rum” from 1776, was selected for a variety of reasons. As a holiday meant to celebrate the creation of a “free” nation approaches, too many have forgotten or choose to ignore that when the Declaration of Independence was being drafted, while the group who signed it did have many brilliant men among its members, the group as a whole consisted entirely of extremely flawed human beings and hypocrites. They knew this was sort of thing was wrong, even then, but either only cared about or chose to focus on the profits, making each and every one of them complicit. It makes me all the more inclined to believe that these hypocritical men really did regularly consult members of the Iroquois Confederacy instead of doing it entirely on their own.

Another reason is that in the country I unfortunately reside in, so few politicians have the stomach to not only stand up to the tyrants in charge, but to speak up at all in defense of the common citizens they’ve sworn to aide. Nearly 250 years have passed since the Declaration of Independence, but like in the song itself, when the unsavory truth is being shouted at the top of one’s lungs for all to hear, can these cocky politicians do anything more than desperately yet meekly plead for silence, regardless of what they claim to be their political leaning?

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 2/25/2025: "fucked up" by Macklemore

This week's Tune for Tuesday, "fucked up" by Macklemore, is likely to come across as different from the sorts of songs I usually share. But in truth, it really shouldn't be too surprising. I was inspired to do Tune for Tuesdays in the first place because of a recurring assignment in my high school Sociology class, where we would share songs with lyrics and discuss the themes and contexts of said songs (as well as their music videos if they had one). I may regularly just share songs that don't even have lyrics here, but when not even two weeks earlier I stumbled upon this new masterpiece by a talented artist I've had a lot of respect for over a decade now, there was no doubt in my mind I had to use it for Tune for Tuesdays. It may be quite disturbing for a lot of people to listen to this piece and watch the accompanying music video, but quite frankly, this does a marvelous job of putting to words the sheer wrath I've been carrying for far too long.

Tune for Tuesday for Week of 1/7/2025: "I Am... All Of Me" by Crush 40

Happy New Year, everyone! To kick off 2025, this week's Tune for Tuesday, "I Am... All Of Me" by Crush 40, is one I've had on my mind a lot lately. Especially after watching the awesome Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film in theaters, playing through Shadow's fantastic campaign in Sonic X Shadow Generations, and getting to hear it performed live last month at the phenomenal Sonic Symphony. I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do!
