Poignant Question

[of_many_treasures]

Solve a debate for me, will you community?

May Day music. Something traditional from the European continent...

... or Jonathan Coulton's First of May? Don't listen to it if you're sensitive, or in public without a headset.

Still got some catching up to do in terms of music, but have you heard of this band called Eyeshine? Because there's a song I think is perfect for any holiday. It's called "Rangers vs. Zombies."

[of_many_treasures]

JoCo is pretty popular, although he has no boundaries in music. Then again, neither does the producers of Glee. [ZING.]

I'll have to look up Rangers vs Zombies.

[boostup4beetbuster]

It's the harrowing journey of a Ranger as he deals with a zombie invasion and the loss of his pizza and bathroom.

[of_many_treasures]

Sounds absolutely hilarious to be honest.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Yep. And a great lesson too--if you're going to fight off zombie hordes, make sure you frickin' MORPH ahead of time.

[of_many_treasures]

Exactly. You want to make sure of that. Protective gear and all.

[boostup4beetbuster]

Seriously, who does that? Even I wouldn't take that chance. Unless I knew that without a doubt, J could take the hit for me.

[of_many_treasures]

This is why I avoid most monster-based worlds.

[icantbelievethis]

This is the third year in a row that stupid song's come up on the community!

[of_many_treasures]

Be lucky I didn't link it, and just suggested for people to look it up.

[icantbelievethis]

I can't believe you people...

[of_many_treasures]

Coulton is amazing.

[icantbelievethis]

Wow. You guys.

[of_many_treasures]

Be serious though. How many Coulton songs have you heard before?

[icantbelievethis]

That one.

[of_many_treasures]

Really? No others? That's a shame. I think you should hear some of his classics.

[fightbymoonlight]

...I don't know why I even bothered looking that song up.

[of_many_treasures]

Did you watch it in a public place?

[fightbymoonlight]

Of course not. You did put a warning in the post not to do that, after all.

...I'm very glad I decided to watch it before my mother came home.

[of_many_treasures]

It's definitely not safe for most people. But at the same time, it's one of JoCo's best.

[fightbymoonlight]

I'm not really familiar with his music. Is all of this, um... unique?

[of_many_treasures]

They are. They're creative songs released on a commons release so that people can do whatever with them. Here's one called Aquaman's Lament.

[fightbymoonlight]

It's certainly very creative. It's... well, I'd say strange, but considering the things I deal with on a regular basis that doesn't really seem like the right word. The time and effort that went into it is admirable, though.

[of_many_treasures]

He has created almost a hundred songs in a short time as well. So he's put a lot of effort into it.

[archerartemis]

Sorry for threadjacking, but why would Aquaman be lamenting anything?
