Maybe someone here will help me find a song that I listened to with a friend (and danced a lot) during a summer in the late 90s.
It was an electronic dance song which featured a a very raspy male voice singing in Spanish and would ocasionally make the "pull snot from the throat and spit" sound.
My friend and I have been for years trying to find it to no avail... :(
When I was a child I saw a stop motion animation called 3 Little Pigs Sing a Gig. It was this rather surreal, felt puppet musical of the aforementioned nursery rhyme.
the sega version of fist of the north star
Secret Dungeon
It was my second attempt at making a game(the first time i wrote "horizontal" instead of "Horizontal", making movement not work. I gave up for 2 years from making games because of that). It was made by me and a friend.
It was supposed to be a platformer in which you could kill enemies and bosses and have a lot of secrets. It was never published because we gave up
Slashers (2001) is a fairly unknown horror / comedy from the heyday of video stores. I rented it on a marathon weekend with my old movie crew and it instantly became a favorite. The "Slashers, super-fun!!" theme song is likely problematic at this point but I still find myself and the few remaining folks from that crew saying it at random when we get together.
Outside of that group though, I've never met another human that's seen it. Albeit I'm not usually proselytizing about it like a weirdo... usually. Maybe at next year's horror-con I'll start.
I remember playing a game with my friend as a kid. I think it was around windows 95. You were a Mafioso and you could pick one of three businesses, one was a blow up doll factory. You had to plan heists by buying escape vehicles, such as tandem bikes, cars anong other things. I found it funny that only 2 people could escape in a transporter, because it had only 2 seats. The main goal i think was to steal from the comically large vault of the main mafia boss via submarine. My memory is very hazy, don't remember the name or anything else, but it was super fun.
Was it Mob Rule? I didn't play it enough to remember specifics, but it was from that era and had a distinct, blobby character design.
There was a cover of Radioactive by Marina on guitar I'd listen to in the bathroom at high school but I can't find it again on Youtube
Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.
The What! Help is On The Way
This album and band is endangered, no CD's, unavailable on any music streaming service.
The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.
One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.
The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.
This is an odd one. Deep Africa is an episode from an obscure series called Inflated, which came out some 20 years ago. I remember someone at a party having a VHS of it.
It features blowup dolls as the main characters. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen it, probably hasn’t aged well, but I remember aspects of it being funny, if not absurd.
Operation Sandman, amazing movie with Ron perlman and also the adventures of Pete and Pete
