OMG! PixelJunk Monsters is a fantastic game with an equally fantastic soundtrack, but last I heard Otograph had no plans on releasing an OST. But it’s out, like...today! For only 3 bucks! Yay!

I finally got the chance to watch Paprika on Blu-Ray a few days ago, after letting it gather dust on my shelf for months.



Yeah, it was crazy. And amazing. And moving. And overwhelming. In fact, I really enjoyed watching the movie at the time - the visuals and music were stunning - but it wasn't until several hours later that I realized how much I loved it. Like, you have to spend some time processing everything you were just assaulted with before being able to appreciate its greatness.

So, the next day I bought the soundtrack on iTunes (direct iTunes link), and have been listening to it like mad.



Oh, while on iTunes I noticed they carried a few Yoko Kanno CDs as well, so I picked up this:



CM Yoko (direct iTunes link) is all commercial music (like, for TV commercials), but it has super neat (and incredibly varied) stuff. One of the tracks, though, is crazy good. I really want to know what kind of advertisement "Exaelitus" was for...

Also, holy crap, I'm already over 80 hours for this week. Yay for crunch. Game is going great though!

Been crunching a lot lately, which means I've been listening to a lot of music - it's one of the few things that can keep me sane whilst going through thousands of Excel fields. And, maybe it's because Still Alive [iTunes Link] came on randomly, but I suddenly remembered I have a bunch of Jonathan Coulton music I've never even really listened to.



This CD is great. Super great. Been listening to I Feel Fantastic like mad. That and Better. Best 5 bucks I've ever spent.

I bought In Rainbows a couple of weeks ago on iTunes, but didn't really have the chance to listen until toady. Maybe it was the fact I was on the sick-side (and slightly drugged), or because the new headphones I got in the mail, but I haven't been this addicted to an Radiohead release since Kid A (which is still one of my favorite albums of all time) - and, for someone who hasn't been listening to a lot of non-soundtracks lately, it's a nice change of pace.
