Rhapsody’s “Dark Fate of Atlantis”

Happy motherfucking power metal Friday! Wait, is that a thing now? Power metal Friday? It should be. So, I guess, it is now. Fuck it, why not, right?

To celebrate our very first power metal Friday, here’s Rhapsody’s new video from their forthcoming album Ascending to Infinity. I am not even sure which Rhapsody this is, since at some point the band split in two and they both call themselves the same thing which is really weird and annoying, but it means that we get twice as much Italian, dragon-infused power metal and no one can be mad at that. No one.

The main take away from this video, for me, is that Rhapsody’s production values have certainly improved since the video for “Holy Thunderforce”. Also, “Holy Thunderforce” is a fucking rad name. I don’t like the new singer as much as the last dude, but he works.

Anyway, power metal. Do it. Love it. It is all for you.

Power Francer and D-Bag’s “Pompo Nelle Casse”

While clicking through Ultra Music’s youtube after enduring the fetid abortion that is the video posted below, I stumbled across this video for Italian electro outfit Power Francers. Now I like it a whole lot more than Countess Luann’s insult to music for three very simple reasons.

  1. The song is a lot better.
  2. The chick singing is hot.
  3. They allowed a developmentally disabled kid to be in the video.

Right? I’m right. It definitely brings on that “let’s party and get fucked up” vibe which I like so much. Of course this does not best the video for The Bloody Beetroots’ “Cornelius”, but nothing really does.

It’s also too bad Power Francer’s other music video sucks gigantic balls.

On the topic of vacations

I’ve recently felt a very strong urge to vacate on a solo mission. I want to just go by myself and get the fuck out of Brooklyn for a minute and see what sort of adventure I can have when I’m all by myself. I have solo missions here all the time and I quite like them, but I’d like to try doing it somewhere totally foreign to me. The only thing limiting me is my inability to speak anything but English. OOPS. So where do I go?

Reykyavik, Iceland – Seems pretty awesome and I should be able to get by. I’ve wanted to go and I think the opportunity to eat puffin and sheep’s face is pretty attractive. The country is beautiful and getting there is not difficult.

Berlin – Jesse has been harping on me to go to Berlin for about a hundred years. The model of efficiency he says. Everything’s on time he says. You can drink beer for breakfast he says. They have metal bars all over he says. These things all seem good to me and it will come with the added bonus of never having to hear him tell me I should go to Berlin ever again.

Italia – This was on the docket from late last year but I am not sure it’s going to work out. I was going to go visit someone, but it seems like there won’t be time for it which is very very disappointing and I would have a hard time wandering around trying to understand what the hell people are talking about.

Japan – I am convinced that this would be like visiting the future, and what better place for The Space Pope than the future? This is easily the most expensive of the ideas I am throwing around right now and as such probably the least likely.

Vancouver – I’ve always heard that this is the coolest city in America’s Hat and I would like to see it. I love Montreal a lot, and though they are very different, I would like to explore it and the nature surrounding it. I would watch a hockey game and sit on the beach and read with a parka on. Sounds lovely to me.

Buenos Aires – I can probably fumble through my shitty Spanish down in Argentina. I just want to eat red meat and drink red wine.

Thoughts, Black Laserites? Where should the Space Pope venture off to by his lonesome?
