🧵/rant about metal covers of the Terminator theme (with scores):

A band released a cover of the Terminator theme this year. They did a very common thing I've noticed in other covers, THEY CHANGED THE CHORD PROGRESSION.

It's important to remember a few things when doing a genre cover...

You can never have too many versions of one of the greatest albums of all time.

I love the 2015 remaster but the original master isn't on streaming, so I got the CD a few years ago to have and compare. Recently I bought a cassette player and so I HAD to get it on tape too.

Finally watching the Interview with the Vampire show. It's really good so far but I can't help imagine a version where Daniel Molloy is played by Marc Maron as himself.

Akihiko Yoshida's iconic character designs can be found in abundance in the introduction to Piggyback's Vagrant Story guide, alongside an introduction to each character.

Then we get down to the nitty-gritty of weapon tables and maps.

Very much appreciate the bookend statements by @scumbelievable.bsky.social in her Naked Gun review – a film I completely wrote off before reading this and have since booked a ticket. Gretchen's Patreon is very much worth it for the insightful reviews alone.

@kimjustice.bsky.social Hi Kim, what happened to the last wrestling video, did you take it down? The Kenta one.

Tidal has more in depth song and album credits too.
If you are worried about switching to another music streaming service because all your playlists are on Spotify, as I once was: you can actually transfer all your shit to Tidal with great ease
