Another video from Electric Callboy.


Warning - contains German schlager and gore (not a sentence I ever expected to write, but here we are :D ).

I'm kinda scared by how well they copy generic schlager songs in the first half. And the second half reminds me of the soundtrack to the old flash game Zombiegrinder 60000 :lol:

I was listening to Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello looking for karaoke prospects.  Everything sounded great till I got to the white nigger line.

Youtube recommended Norwegian Reggaeton from Nanowar of Steel to me and I approve. :D

Joan this is for you.

Robbie Robertson talking about his inspiration to write The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

Off the karaoke rotation I think.

The Minsky Moment

I wouldn't have thought he intended to write pro-Confederate propaganda, but as it came out it's too Lost Causey for my taste.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I mean I kind of get "hey think about this from their perspective" but we have tons of songs and other media about this stuff from their perspective. I just don't find it a story that super needs telling again. We already have it directly from the people themselves.

It was released in 69, at the height of the Civil Rights movement.

Robbie Robertson is (was?) Canadian, so he might have just been tone deaf.

I assume there's a number of people who remember this particular recording of this particular song ...

I actually bought that CD in Sweden years before I even heard of Paradox games... maybe I should see if I can find it (even if I don't have a CD player). It had some other bangers on it IIRC.

I really miss the licensed period music in the Paradox games. The original stuff they do is just meh.

Speaking of old music, this guy attempted an Old English version of Never Gonna Give You Up:


He has a bunch of covers in old languages on his channel (Immigrant Song in Old Norse, House of the Rising Sun in Old French, Seven Nation Army in ancient Attican Greece and a few more).

It's hit and miss for me. The Imperator soundtrack was great ... but seemed to only have a handful of songs. Problem is that with how long you play their games, the soundtracks become repetitive quite fast, and usually they're not of the quality that you'll happily listen to them for countless hours on end - YMMV, of course. E.g. the music in Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim doesn't bother me in the slightest even after countless hours of playing them, and there's plenty themes from them I'm very fond of. With Paradox games I find it better to put on some period appropriate playlists on Spotify or Youtube and have those on, or create my own.

Man I'm having an EU2 flashback. I think I have the soundtrack to that, or was it EU3 that released a soundtrack?

Elden Ring has this song playing on a loop in one area.


Reminds me a lot of Ashokan Farewell?  :hmm:
