California Dreamin’ by The Mamas & The Papas except it’s playing from a box radio while you sit on the porch of a Yosemite Ranger Station in the very early morning. It’s summer. It’s 1979. And you love your job.
Software Creations: *in the middle of development for Solstice* Okay so we need an intro theme to set the mood. Something folky, like medieval times. Think you can try your hand at that?
Tim Fucking Follin: Yeah I got ya, check this out.
Software Creations: *barely seconds in*Ohhh yes finally, something that isn’t an overwhelming banger. You done good, Mr. Follin.
Tim Fucking Follin:
*waits for it*
Software Creations: *ten seconds later*
honestly every single one of Tim Follin’s songs are straight up bangers but most people don’t remember them because they’re all from weird/forgotten games
That is a very good quality gurdy…and I wish I could play like that…
If you’ve never heard hurdy-gurdy before, allow me to assure you that whatever you are expecting it to sound like, it won’t be even a fraction as cool as the real thing.
I was not expecting to hear a blistering hurdy-gurdy solo this fine morning
I’ve been saving up for one of these for so long xD

General observations about this post coming back to it after making the initial playlist;
Lots of Imagine Dragons. So much Imagine Dragons.
Several people have come up with names for this genre, my personal favorites being “dance melancholia” “musical reprise” and “depression bops”
I see the homestucks in the notes/replies. I knew putting How Far We’ve Come in would pull y’all out of the cracks
I put it in the playlist description but if you have suggestions pop me an ask or put them in the tags/your post reply! The playlist is still a work in progress, so any additions are welcome!

Yo, you seem to be forgetting that today is the 10th That means no need for taxis The steering wheel in my hands I smash the pedal under my foot I won’t need anyone to drive me I’ll help myself by myself I’ve got the drivers license ready with me So put the seat belt on the abaya (the outfit she’s wearing) And keep an eye on the sidewalks and the other on the mirror R is for going back, D is for going seeda (straight) Watch out for every car If it was a Ford or Cressida, your life won’t be great Come! Pick me up! Take me there! Bring me back! That’ll ruin the plan If you want me to come pick you up, you gotta pay up Gas money! Don’t underestimate it! Debt! If you pay or don’t that’s still debt “Careful, don’t slam the door hard” that was before Now if you slam it hard, I’ll tie you with the seat belt
Okay, how the hell. This is THE most crystal clear version of Smile Bomb I’ve listened to, and the creditless opening video is also like SHARP, like holy shit this is as if it were released TODAY type of clarity and it’s messing with me.
Can I just say how utterly iconic Yu Yu Hakusho is, like I’ve barely watched the series and seen the characters but I can remember most of the characters I know in vivid detail as far as design and powers go and that’s just amazing to me
