    From http://www.rutschle.net/gaming/shooting.shtml :

    "Although I don't play video games much anymore, I have to admit to one addiction: I love shoot-them-ups. I loved playing them in the 80's when I was a kid. I retired for more than 15 years as I went to university, got married and so on. Then suddenly in 2010, I heard of Hydorah, and found myself trying to kill sandworms during meetings."

30. Pete Griffin's top 10 albums of 2013 2013-12-24

    tags: funk, groove, heavy, jazz, metal, progressive, rock

    [ permalink ]

    Because year-end lists are hip, here's 10 albums I loved from this year with tiny blurbs why, in no particular order: Intronaut - Habitual Levitations - Heavy, but thoughtful and risk-taking, truly original music Frightened Rabbit - Pedestrian Verse - Incredible songwriting and arranging. Moderat - II - Production and grooves! Revocation - Revocation - Thrashy yet refined and technical Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird - Deeply funky grooves in the reggae/r&b vibe Cloudkicker - Subsume - Gorgeous layering of guitars upon guitars anchored by some killer math-y grooves. Dawn of Midi - Dysnomia - Deconstructed jazz trio music turns into mesmerizing overlapping loops. The Dillinger Escape Plan - One Of Us Is The Killer - Exactly what you'd expect from DEP, which is not knowing what to expect. Equally spazzy and melodic. Jaga Jazzist - Official Page - Live w/Britten Sinfonia - Re-arrangements of 10-piece neo-jazz compositions to allow room for a full orchestra, it sounds big! Shining - One One One - A refinement of their metal/jazz sound into incredibly powerful 4 minute songs.

    Why hurry? There's plenty of time to learn new things, that would be sad to miss awesome things because you're in a rush!
