Hey there! Name’s Mike. I stream lots of fun games on my channel at Twitch.tv/MoonlitMaple & am always down to talk about good games, anime, & movies (your standard media affair :P). (He/Him)
For someone who started “The Free Press”, Bari certainly holds actual freedom of the press in contempt. Go figure.
Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

#86: Lose Yourself - Eminem

He keeps on spaghetti
A great song, memes aside 👌

#87: Liebestraum No. 3 (Love Dream) - Franz Liszt

youtu.be/MBOa-2b4uQQ?...

A very tender classic (that goes pretty dang hard in the 2nd half with those chord progressions).

#88: Love Reign O’er Me - The Who

A truly powerful piece of music. Definitely my favorite from this band.

Kirby Air riders Xmas event canceled due to a glitch. Understandable, but really unfortunate :(
Here’s hoping players get another opportunity to nab that Santa hat for Xmas

#89: Viva La Vida - Coldplay
youtu.be/dvgZkm1xWPE?...

Despite how often I heard this song in the late 2000s into the 2010s, I just can’t get tired of this one. The memorable lyrics & that powerful recurring theme on the strings gets me every time 👏

#90: Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog
youtu.be/WS3Lkc6Gzlk

I’ll never forget singing this when Twitch Sings was still a thing. A timeless song about following your dreams that never gets old.

#91: Sana's Gloom - City Girl
youtu.be/50U1s5tBqeA?...

It's delicate, it's otherworldly, & it's the kind of tune that you can escape to. This one does ramp up the ante at points which makes it unique to a lot of her other songs.

#92: Arabesque No. 1 - Claude Debussy
youtu.be/cVYH-7QGE-A?...

That prevalent 4 against 3 motif, and just how Debussy’s works (that I’ve heard) play out, it’s just so fluid & expressive, unlike other more rigid classical pieces. Can’t help but think of freshly fallen snow with this one. Beautiful

#93: Drop Pop Candy [feat. Luka, Rin] - Reol, Giga
youtu.be/4sq2lPNxi7M?...

iirc back in 2016 when AnimeNEXT first moved to Atlantic City, I decided to check out my first little Hatsune Miku concert, which got me curious about Vocaloid music. First time I stumbled on this, it was an instant fav

#94: Rose Thorns [Battle with Aeldra]
youtu.be/s9zw8hu7jN4?...

I loved playing through Ikenfell so much. From the story to the characters & the combat to that OST, it was all so good! And experiencing this song & the end with some of the devs watching is something I won’t ever forget ❤️

#95: National Park (Pokemon Gold & Silver) - Jonathan Aldrich, Go Ichinose
youtu.be/sU4DFaMlzvw?...

Probably my favorite in-game Pokemon theme. It's a melody you can't forget, elegant but with a more playful tone at times in this cover. I'd love to hear a new cover in a future Johto entry!

#96: Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
youtu.be/7iDfvoqOhD8?...

A long-time favorite from an animated classic… or not? Despite it being in Shrek’s soundtrack, Rufus’ cover of the song isn’t actually in the film 🤔

Damn I’ve got some neck pain so bad, I feel like Batman from the older films. No head turning allowed 😂

#97: Dead! - My Chemical Romance
youtu.be/Y-eSP0aEj-Q?...

This one brings on the nostalgia of playing Guitar Hero 2 & the most incredible Road Rage run of Burnout Revenge in my life ( @mismango.bsky.social knows 💥)

#98: Sugar - Sleep Token
youtu.be/-sogivGtsVM?...

The mesmerizing blend of R&B/Pop with the buildup to that heavy metal climax just never gets old.

#99: Red Like Roses, Pt 2 - Jeff Williams, Casey Lee Williams, Sandy Casey (RWBY)
youtu.be/GPG_Xxaztzs?...

The thrill ride of this one, especially during RWBY’s first big brawl, is really something else. The last I’ve watched of this was the start of S7. Looking to continue watching soon 👀
