i wanna be part of the human race

Another entry for my Fannish Fifty challenge, in which I am talking all things video game. For this entry, I'm going to highlight some of my favorite VG soundtracks. I'm definitely biased as most of my favorite soundtracks are for games that I have a deep emotional connection to, so I'm sure that's not an accident.

( here lies music! )

Did we all watching Longmire season 4? Good right? I really enjoyed it.

Back when I spent my life in landcomms, one of my least favorite activities were nonograms. In a weird twist of fate, I have discovered I like nonograms and have actually become mildly obsessed with them. A month ago I installed a random app on my phone with lots of different numbers-related puzzle games and nonograms were one of them and I gave it a shot and once I discovered a strategy I realized they are actually fun logic challenges and I've been solving them non stop. Too bad I couldn't have figured that out back in my landcomm days lol.

I have (another) interview at the library today. I interviewed a few weeks ago and they did not offer me the job, and I got a voicemail from them saying I didn't get it but I was a strong applicant and they were passing my resume on. I got a call a week later from another department wanting to interview me, but it was very short notice and I had to work the day/time they wanted me to come in. So I had to decline. But then I got another call like another week later inviting me to another interview. Which happened to fall on my day off so I could do it. So I have that this afternoon. This will be my third interview with the library in 1.5 years haha. We'll see how it goes...

For more entertaining fare, here are a few selections from Noelle's late summer 2015 playlist:

"Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - S.O.B. (Official)" (Watch on YouTube)

I'm really ok with this style of music making a modernized comeback.

( more jams get em while they're fresh )

TIME FOR A MUSIC POST also I'm so glad I finally have a relevant icon for music posts

These are some of my favorite jams for what I like to call "lyrics light" music. Stuff that's either all instrumental, mostly instrumental, or the singing is so chill/quiet/calm that you kind of don't notice it. Also one of these is non-English.

Disclaimer, I'm a huge fan of destroyed things, I like the apocalypse and defending the planet against aliens and zombies and broken down generational ships flying through space fighting robots, and I love music that sounds right at home in those genres. My definition of chill is more like "that half-calm moment in between bouts of fighting for your life" and that's about where all this music fits in.

I also may have recced some of this before, FORGIVE PLS.

Ok. Let's do this. Noelle's favorite christmas music (all genres: contemporary, classics, and carols)! ( Buttload of youtube videos behind the cut. )
