How sweet is your adventure's soundtrack?
1. Don't Be Light (Malibu Remix) - Air
I'm seeing a young, smooth professor. He be cross stepping all the way to the lab, new trainers looking on in a mixture of fear and awe.
2. Opus Of The Black Sun - The Amorphous Androgynous
My rival is a...hippy. Psychedelic (rock), man. He has a soul patch growing, and wears John Lennon-esque sunglasses all the time. He uses a mixture of grass and psychic types. He probably does "use grass", for that matter.
3. Nowhere At The Edge Of Somewhere - The Amorphous Androgynous
Nice one iTunes. 531 artists and 13348 songs to choose from and you pick the next one from the same kerring album. Ah well, at least it works with the topic. Fighting to Psych Rock wouldn't be too bad.
Couldn't find a video, but it's more or less more of the same as above.
4. Immune to Gravity - Moth
Ok, so all wild pokemon are Indie fans. I guess it could be interpreted as me enjoying battling so much that it makes me "immune to gravity" as it were. "When you're with me I'm immune to gravity" could refer to my pokemon. Ah, this was one of my first albums. Memories.
30 second preview. Best I can do.
5. Why Can't I Be You? - The Cure
Well that's self explanatory. Everyone I fight wants to be me. "You're so gorgeous I'll do anything! I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins!" ...Ok, you're getting a bit creepy there, Cooltrainer Nathan.
6. Sweetback - Curve
Tense and quiet, building into an energetic song that shouts power. I would love to battle to this. "If I were to die at this very moment, I'd be happy enough. Let fate decide if our future's going as high as the sky above." Those are gym battling thoughts, my friends.
7. Didjerama - Jamiroquai
Sounds like my Team X are nature lovers. Perhaps they aim to uncover the long lost grass type brother to Groudon and Kyogre, Forstrye, who wishes to cover the world in rainforest. You can imagine why he didn't do so well against his kin.
8. The Secret Life Of Dr Calgori - Abney Park
Or perhaps that is only a cover story...Steampunk Industrial for nature lovers? There's something more afoot here. Maybe the leader actually aims to destroy poor Forstrye, in order to wipe out the rainforests! That way he can easily build over the lands they used to inhabit! The cads!
I do however like the age old idea of a steampunk powered BBEG. At any rate Dr Calgori is my BBEG's name. Perhaps he use to be friends with my professor, but a parting of ideals lead them to become archrivals.
9. Widescreen - Xandria
Ok, so I guess the subplot is that my PC aims to bring down the established government, and celebrity culture and stuff. Maybe he fights against cruelty against pokemon.
This isn't one of their better songs.
10. Sam Rudich - Snowing
This song is on an album that has one of my favourite names, "Fuck Your Emotional Bullshit". But yeah, this is proper emo music. Slightly Math Rocky. This does mean, I suppose that my champion is a hipster emo math rock guy.
11. The Willing Well I: Fuel For The Feeding End - Coheed And Cambria
7 minutes. Long credits roll.
"Could this be that hard for me? To configure the new love and paint. To my new entity or banish it home to the grave I will not save... Your world"
In a surprise twist, the PC almost takes down the champion (who maybe was Dr Calgori!?), but only at the cost of his own physical form and sanity. Touched by chaos, his form twists and warps along with his mind, until he becomes...the new BBEG! The ultimate sacrifice, gone wrong.
That sounds like sequel talk to me.
12. Living The Wasted Life - Aesthetic Perfection
This is the theme of the being of chaos that Dr Calgori calls forth to battle me, the one that ultimately tears me form from me in a desperate bid to bring me down with it.
"Is this what's left of me, debilitated life. Look back and see nothing but my self wasted. Is this what's left of me? What's left will be destroyed. Is it ever ending my self-hatred?"
These are the thoughts it puts into my head (I guess it's a psychic type. Psychic/Dark sounds good.) that eventually reduce me to insanity.
"I am the cancer. I am the cause. I am the devil sitting on my left shoulder"
Who said pokemon can't be evil?
Well, that was fun. I invite you to do the same. Post it in the comments, or send me a link to your own blog or some thing.

On Facebook And Birthdays
0 commentsIt's fascinating, the number of people who need to say happy birthday on Facebook. Today is my girlfriend's birthday and her page is awash with people who are wishing her a happy birthday. And that's lovely. But here's the thing. She's not there. She left for the Download music festival days ago and won't read the message for days after. She even left a message on her page saying this, so there is no excuse for ignorance of the fact. I would wager most of these people have her number, and can contact her directly, but its almost as if they need to use Facebook.
So why? Is it more a selfish response? Do people need to be seen to have done it? Or has it just been so ingrained into the collective consciousness as the thing to do, much like the WoW player's robotic response of "gratz" to the input "ding". Either way it strikes me as demeaning the message, voiding it of feeling and emotion. Facebook messages are the cybermen of birthday greetings.
I thank those who may well have actually sent their wishes with true intention, but I fall back on my original observation that your social programming has blinded you to the option of giving her a call, or even just a fucking text.
