Terminus (the Glenn from The Walking Dead song)

Terminus We've come back this season, at least those of us still alive Here within this Terminus we all hope to arrive I was a survivor from Cell block C, you were with the Governor of Woodbury and... You came down the tracks of the train and you walked by my side Shoulder up to shoulder that tunnel was 9 meters wide Oh my heart was screaming, walkers wanted to eat (us) Following my movements with a rock on your feet and... Oh, down toward Terminus all of us tread So, when were't at Terminus who will be dead?  "Won't you leave me, go find Maggie?" you ask of me then But I draw my gun and shoot a walker again We were all alone on a shooting spree Really thought my bullets would run out on me, but Maggie and some others came and made it rain lead Made sure that the walkers wouldn't rise from the dead Could have kept on walking my entire life But the season's ending so i'm back with my wife! And so we left for Terminus with one...

i support pnoy's radio airplay quota

this article's  been popping up on my facebook feed repeatedly the past few days, to pretty much unanimous discontent. at the heart of the matter is executive order 255, which states: "all radio stations  shall broadcast a minimum of four original [F]ilipino musical   compositions in every clockhour of a program with a musical format." or to put it another way, stations have to allot about a quarter of every hour of airplay to local music. which, if you think about it, is pretty reasonable.

"let it go" vs. dragon ball mashup

so the other day i was listening to this guy, who is about the most affable-looking heavy metal guitarist i've ever seen: and i thought, "gee, i can't even listen to that sort of arrangement and some of those riffs without thinking of 'head cha la'"... until i realized i was thinking of "head cha la" because the song actually sounded like "head cha la." so i tried singing the "cha la, head cha la" refrain instead of "let it go, let it go." it seemed to fit pretty well, so i thought, i should be working, why not make a mashup? i'd initially planned to lay the "head cha la" vocals over a "let it go" instrumental track, but couldn't find the former. luckily i found a "let it go" vocal track and a minus one of "head cha la" (the gino padilla version!) floating around on the web, so i threw those together in audacity : i had to slow down idina menzel's vocals by...
