PIayer_0 05/11/21 4:04:49 PM #66: | WOOOOOO VGMC SEASON IS HERE BAYBEEEEEEEE Nefertiti (Ver.MMXI) Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke The Heritors of Arcadia top slot = stronger seed is a LIE Welcome to year 15, everybody! Finally, we have as many VGMCs as there are Final Fantasies...interestingly, FF songs have featured pretty often in the first three matches of the contest - 9 out of 15 times, in fact! Back in VGMC 1, it was To Zanarkand, who beat future finalist Trombe! 28-22 and eventually claimed the FIRST ever retirement slot over Lonely Rolling Star! I'm using the first week to trial a new thing where I pick one song to highlight for the day; it'll be pretty arbitrary, whichever one I think "deserves" it. It's a good excuse to try writing about at least one song! And with the #1 pick of the VGMC 15 draft, I select...The First Thing! This song is really interesting for making you think about "blues," but also music in general in a way that can only be achieved with spoken lyrics. I've had passing interests in related art forms - spoken word, slam poetry, guided meditation - but I can't say I truly enjoy them as much as familiar genres of VGM. I do love a good underdog though - rock on, you weird bone man! Other tidbits: Nefertiti just keeps on giving with the guitar solos!!! I had a hard time believing that 5:25 loop point Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I thought Collapsed Expressway would have way more hype coming into the contest? I remember SupraDarky uploaded it, Lena Raine featured it on 140VGM, VGM Online gave it an award...okay, maybe I'm placing too much stock in obscure appearances THE SEASONS THEY TUUUUUURN MEMORY FAAAAAADES (that "fades" is so good ugh) --- -Abraham Lincoln ...
