Tesla Coil of the Mountain King

Posted on 19:04 by rajrani
Long-time readers of this blog may remember that a couple of years ago I attempted to make a point about putting individual stamps on megadungeons through different interpretations of music, using Edvard Grieg's Hall of the Mountain King as my example.

While I would encourage everyone to read (or re-read, as the case may be) that original post, because I think the point still stands, I happened across the following and thought I'd share it because it's just too effing cool not to. Had I seen this back then, I certainly would have included it.

RIP Davy Jones

Posted on 18:00 by rajrani
Apropos of nothing whatsoever to do with gaming, but growing up as a kid in the 1970's, reruns of the Monkees were a staple part of life, and part of my age group's shared cultural experience as surely as Bugs Bunny and Star Trek.

Davy Jones, the British representative of the Monkees, died today at age 66 of a heart attack. He was quite an entertainer in a variety of venues; stage, television, and of course music. His was one of the voices of my formative years, and I'll forever regret never having seen him in concert.



Goodbye, Mr. Jones.
