Big Country – In A Big Country

Time again for musical throwback Thursday.  Growing up used to hate the song In a Big Country by Big Country.  Think this was because it was on the radio all the time.  Now I don’ hate it as much since I have picked it for this weeks song.  This is off their first album The Crossing, released in 1983. The song holds up well.  As for the music video not so much.  It is very 80’s.  You can see for yourself > here or below.

Rage Against The Machine – Testify

Once again musical throwback Thursday.  The pick this week is Testify by Rage Against Th Machine.  They are very famous for the political music with a very heavy sound.  They have some great songs.  Testify is one of them.  The music video > here or below holds up well.  Still relevant, just switch out the politicians.  The song is off their 1999 album The Battle of Los Angeles.

Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now

For the month of January (2019) have been only using Queen songs musical throwback Thursdays.  This will be the last one.  Not sure I will will pick a different band for next month but it does sound like a good idea.  The thing there isn’t that many brands I like multiple songs from.  For this weeks pick, it’s Don’t Stop Me Now.  This is their 1978 album Jazz.  It ones of those song that get stuck in your head and the words are very easy to remember.  Give it a listen/watch > here or below.

The Umbrella Academy

There is any interesting comic book inspirited show coming to Netflix in February (2019).   It is called The Umbrella Academy.  It is based of the comic book series of the same name.  After watching the trailer > here or below.  I will be watching it for sure.  Looks really good.  The base plot is pretty cool.  Taken from Wikipedia, “On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by Sir Reginald Hargreeves, a billionaire industrialist, who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. But not everything went according to plan. In their teenage years, the family fractured and the team disbanded. Now, the six surviving thirty-something members reunite upon the news of Hargreeves’ passing. Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Vanya and Number Five work together to solve a mystery surrounding their father’s death. But the estranged family once again begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse.”

It will be on Netflix February 15, 2019.  Will be adding it to my list.  Will have to check out the comics is based on as well.

twenty one pilots: Stressed Out

Know I’m old and out of touch.  But for some reason never heard this song, Stressed Out, until a few days ago.  It has been on YouTube since 2015 and have 1 and half Billion views.  It is from the group twenty one pilots. The song is off their album Blurryface.  Really like this song a lot.  Has been stuck in my head for days now.  If you are like me and never heard it.  Give it a listen.  Think everyone can relate to it.  You can do so > here or below.

The Division 2 Trailer

Am very much looking forward to the The Division 2.  The first is an awesome game.  There is a some new info to share since the game will be out in about two months. They put out some videos.  Which you can see the trailer > here or below.   Didn’t really like the dark zone stuff in the first game.  Only gave it a try a few times.  Wasn’t very fun.  Because you petty much don’t have any change if you play solo.  It looks like they are fixing that in this new one.  They explain the changes in this video > here or below.  Will be adding this one to my list.  Set to be out March 15, 2019.
