Unlike last year's mega Halloween blast of articles, I will admit that I've been really busy with other stuff. Namely Fallout 3, which is taking up loads of my time.
So far, I've reached Level 6, and striving to become a "sniper" with most of my skill points in Perception, Agility and Strength. I have zero (actually the lowest is a 1) in Charisma, so my dialogue option is very limited. But who needs to be a charmer when you can shoot a Super Mutant in the head at 95%?
I'm loving the game, it looks gorgeous and I think it actually works really well as a first-person, as opposed to its previous turn-based isometric view.
The turn-based thing does exist in the new Fallout, but it's now called V.A.T.S. and you freeze time to target the enemy. I haven't figure out how to build up "action points" while in this mode, but it's amazingly gruesome when you destroy an enemy with a critical shot (we are talking a lot of decapitations).
Some bad news though, the game have high requirements to run on a computer, but it should fare fine on the PS3 and Xbox360 (however I should point out that the computer offers much more higher resolution gameplay due to turning on anti-aliasing up to 8x or high res texture). Also, you can no longer target the groin as an option :/
Still, this is such a great game. It's fun and it doesn't feel repetitive and you're never bored. Plus it's 10x better than Oblivion, especially because the enemies does not level up with you - so you feel like you're accomplishing something when you've invested all these experience points...
Anyway, back to music, here is another cover lover songs - but with a Halloween theme:

ROY G AND THE BIV
roygandthebiv.com ♥ myspace.com/roygandthebiv So, in case you were wondering about the name 'Roy G. Biv', it's actually the acronymn of the colors of the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. I thought it was pretty clever (and gay), so I did end up listening to this duo's EP. The one song that did catch my attention (that's not on their EP, but you can download this song for free on his myspace) is the cover song of Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me", which long-time readers will remember that I've mentioned the original song before. The cover is pretty faithful, yet with their own guitar/keyboard mix to it. It's at time too synthy and the mix seems to overpower the vocals, but I reckon it's fine as it's their take on the song. It's not really my thing, but I will bet that Kate would really love this band, as she's expressed her love for synthpop duos, (such as Cromeo) in our podcast #30 show. |
MARY SHELLEY OVERDRIVE
maryshelleyoverdrive.blogspot.com ♥ myspace.com I will admit to download all of the EPs to check out, but have only listened to a few songs for sample - they seem to me like industrial-surf-DJ music. That description probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense until you listen to it. The vocals style reminds me of Rob Zombie. I was going to use their "The Lament of Janos Skorzeny", but being a cover lover, I did really enjoy their White Stripes cover "The Hardest Button to Button". It looks like the band just released their self-titled debut album. The description via their website lists:

One thing before we begin on another very diverse set of 6-EP pack: you can download Matthew Perryman Jones's first album for free or a mere $1 via noisetrade.com. I will admit that I could not get noisetrade to work (it was only offering Kate York and I could not browse through their artist), but maybe you'll have better luck.
Noisetrade looks interesting, you can pay $1 or tell three of your friend for a free download. It's a great idea, and I've been trying to saying for a while now: make download free or cheap and it will encourage people from seeing you on tour and/or buy merchandise from you.
This promotion is due to his upcoming album, Swallow the Sea to be released on Thirty Tigers on August 19th. You can even preview Swallow the Sea album on breakingoutthewindows.com, although it does require you to register.

FALLOUT 3
fallout.bethsoft.com ♥ gamestop.com
I'm a longtime Fallout fan, and I recently put down some preorder money for the Deluxe Edition because Gamestop was offering a free 5-track CD. The Fallout 3 Soundtrack features their theme song of The Ink Spots' "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire". I might try and dig up the first two Fallout games and replay them in anticipation to the third game, revisit the classic Louis Armstrong's "A Kiss To Build A Dream On" as that was heavily used in the second game. Anyway, if you were intending on getting Fallout 3, you might want to get a bonus EP out of by going to Gamestop. PS, my character of choice was a sharpshooter with lots of strength to wear the Brotherhood of Steel's armor and to shoot those heavy guns. |
MtO
mr-mto.com ♥ myspace.com
I had a pretty hard time locating mister MtO, as there is a rapper crew from California, also called MTO. This MtO is a DJ from Paris, France. This latest release is Bring it On Now, a three-track EP with three different version of the same song. At first listen, all three sounds basically the same, but the Remote mix seems to be slowed down a bit (this is evident on the vocals "bring it on now"). I thought the Original mix is pretty accessible/poppy, complete with backup "oy" sound. It ends up that Hatchmatik stood out here, I think mostly because I like the clapping used on the mix. Like all remix/DJ releases, I think that the real talent is actually live mixing and I don't know if that translate well on a recorded medium. If you're a fan trance and beats, definitely give this a spin, you can get the record from Coco Machete Records. |

MIDDLE CLASS RUT
reverbnation.com/middleclassrut ♥ myspace.com
The "MC" in MC Rut does not stand for Master of Ceremony, but "Middle Class". Another misconception you might have is that this "EP" contains nine songs (officially 8 songs, but there is a not-so-hidden 9th called "Start To Run"), clocking over 40 minutes - longer than many punk albums I own! Apparently this band consists of only two members, guitarist Zack Lopez and drummer Sean Stockham, both of whom were on a major label band called Leisure when they were only in their teens. By default, I usually think the first song on a single or EP is the most important, but I'll have to say that I will pass that up for "New Low" - which contains a catchy line "I got a new low, all fifty-two cards in a row". Middle Class Rut is playing one show at the end of the month (August 31st) with The Force at Anaheim, California. Be sure to pick up their latest EP, MC Rut EP from their myspace. |
THE JEFF MICHAEL BAND
thejeffmichaelband.com ♥ myspace.com
Despite what you may think, I actually really like Country music, and the Jeff Michael Band does have a little bit of a country twang to them. Check out "When Will I See You Again", their lead song on The Other Side EP. Although it looks like he does have a full band backing up mister Michael, you never really see them in photographs on his myspace or official website. All the photos shows off a handsome Jeff Michael. The Other Side is the second EP from this talented young musician, whose influences includes classics like The Beatles (especially on "Let Her Go") to John Mayer, but I do get a sense of a little Dylan (on "Enjoy the Ride"). He's playing one date (Sep 24th) at the M Bar in Hollywood, California. Be sure to grab his latest EP at CD Baby. |

ETERNAL DESCENT
eternaldescent.com ♥ myspace.com
We previously mentioned Eternal Descent before, and I said they reminded me of Evanescence. As a cover lover, when I got their latest EP, The Phantom of the Opera, I instantly needed to hear their cover version of this Andrew Lloyd Webber classic. Wow, it didn't disappoint me, this song is an industrial metal with a "duet" of a demonic-sounding Phantom. The b-sides consists of only two mostly-instrumental songs "Legends" and "Fallen", both are good, but I felt was overshadowed by the first track, "Phantom". I think they were really designed as background music, as you're reading the comic book (you can see a preview of it on their myspace, I couldn't find any details on how to actually get a copy of the book). With Losing Faith, I previously mentioned looks kind of anime, but this new cover art by Jason Metcalf feels more superhero. The art reminds me of Michael Turner, who unexpectedly died this year. Anyway, you can pick up the latest EP from cdbaby, be sure to read about Losing Faith. |
SPiN
spinrocks.com ♥ myspace.com
This is SPiN, a Philadelphia band with their 2007 EP called, er, what else? EP. In a recent discussion with cranky, she pointed out that Music Exchange was cross-promoting Philadelphia and Minneapolis bands. This is kind of interesting, because previously, I wouldn't associate these two cities together, you know? Plague with a common moniker, searching for SPiN's website was really hard. I eventually found it, but if I had trouble... then there's a problem for fans to find you. Apparently the band is sponsored by their drink of choice, Jagermeister, an interesting choice, since I get the impression that they sponsor more harder music such as Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica. If you listen to them, they sound more like powerpop/rock. Check out their burst of energy song, "Not In Love". You know, the more I hear "I'm not in love, I'm not in love, no no, not in love with you", the more I get the feeling that he's actually in love with her. Still the chorus is pretty catchy. Be sure to check out these live dates:
