Still, from this far away, you can't tell that they're corpses!
>.> I shall see if my new (ok 6 month old) lappy can install this - on my previous one, it spat out a disdainful error and then simply refused to complete the install.

This is just plain cool. And the guy has way too many smart phones. XD
This is a free interpretation of Cracklin Rosie, played on 2 Android devices, 2 Windows Mobile devices and 1 iPod Touch.
I love this song. And also, incidentally, Kurt Nilsen. Elin Gaustad's new to me, but she's got a lovely voice too. =)
One of the things I get asked, (generally at work and whatnot), as a 'social, conversation-maker' type question is - so what sort of music do you like?
I tend to say I like quite a few different things... but if I mention 'folk' (which I know, I know, is a horribly broad category to use), all I get is totally blank looks.
People familiar with this song (which is still alive and well!), may not, in turn, realise that it's probably a Scottish folk song which has been sung in one form or another for the past 400 years. Scarborough Fair is another good example of a popular song that goes back to the 1600s or so, that isn't commonly identified as a folk song.
Scarborough Fair's particularly neat, because it's sung with the man asking the lady to win him back - which was really quite transgressive for the general period in which the song was written. For loads of interesting little details (and nuggets! ahem),have a look here. Grain of salt of course, since I'm 'quoting the intarwebz!'. Also, I don't think that site was the originator of the interesting information... but I can't find the original site anymore. Ohnoes. :(
For almost every game I play, one of the first things I do is...turn the music off. The only other game to recently escape this fate was Sacred Gold.
Jade Dynasty, however, has a gorgeous soundtrack. It's pure Wuxia, through and through, and could easily be a Wuxia movie soundtrack. While I don't play Jade Dynasty anymore, I'll most happily load up their sound track and go, 'OOOOOMMMMyaaaaa....'
