Bardcore, Flight Rising

Amazon Music likes to play God with me from time to time and it started throwing medieval covers of songs at me. The one I chose to listen to was a band called Bardcore with the album ‘Ye Olde Pop Gone Bardcore’ which was fun to pretend was being played by bards to my dragon warriors while I repeated the same three button pushes over and over on Flight Rising.

Other than that, it did not exactly speak to me. I really liked their cover of Bad Guy, but I did not enjoy their cover of WAP which was disappointing because I got all excited when that came up but it was just the same chord over and over. I guess the appeal of WAP is the singing, not the music.

Anyway, good for thematic fighting music which is a noble position in life.

Music! Bastille, P!nk, Paramore, plus more Flight Rising

I don’t listen to a lot of music deliberately because I like to focus on it and that means that I can’t be doing a lot of other tasks, but I was doing some grinding in Flight Rising for Strange Chests, I thought ‘hey! I could do it to albums!’ so musical time came. Also, I had 30 chests to sell in the end.

All right.


Bastille – Bad Blood

I like Bastille. They sound pleasant and there’s a bit of pretentiousness in the lyrics that appeal to me in a ‘oh that’s clever!’ way. I particularly like Pompeii, Icarus, and Things We Lost In The Fire.

Paramore – After Laughter

It was pleasant enough to listen to, but I couldn’t tell you a single lyric from this album except the fake happy one and that one song kept ending its lyrics before the last word of the sentence which drove me nuts. But overall a good album for grinding in a videogame!

P!nk – The Truth About Love

This was FULL of bops. God, she’s got a pair of pipes on her. Tons of good songs on here. I have no particular favourite but I would happily listen to this whole album again.

P!nk – Hurts 2b Human

Again taken away by how powerful a singer she is, but at this album I started developing bystander anxiety over the constant relationship issues. She seemed to be in a permanent breakup/fretting about the relationships in the songs and I have no idea if that comes from real life but after a while all that started to kind of bleed into my own brain. I would probably not listen to this one again.
