X-Ray Dog – Uncharted Frontier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDNnsC97PaE Them’s some epic music right there. And this is like my fourth song that isn’t game-related. Aren’t you proud of me?

Rabugenomikusu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-BLCilF8iY You know those weeks where I don’t have anything particularly interesting to say? This is one of those weeks.

The National – Exile Vilify I didn’t think much of Exile Vilify when I first heard it. (On YouTube. I actually only heard it in-game two days ago. I kept missing the room it plays in.) However, it’s grown on me quite a bit in the last two weeks of Portaling. This (WARNING: SPOILER) being […]

Innocence Yeah, AVTechNO! is pretty much a shoo-in at this point. There was not an inconsiderate number of Miki songs this week. It’s also been a whole year since Coward Mont Blanc was released. Wow. Go on, give it another listen today.

Nayuta – 無炎舞踊≠循環 We have here, the greatest video since Touhou Dogfight. Dogfight was a more straight-up fight, while this one has much more abstract elements.

I just completely lost it at the crusher. Aperture Investment Opportunity #2: “Bot Trust” The pancake is a reference to this video. Aperture Investment Opportunity #3: “Turrets” “I’m different~!” Aperture […]

Unknown Sender – Searching. Emergence. Discovery. This whole ARG was nuts. Great music, though. ASYNCHRONOUS EMOTION SIMULATION UNIT And if these aren’t in Portal 2, I will become Sad Panda.

To the West http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypXgL8eLxhE West… Are we going to the Grey Havens? The song from #165 had a surprising resurgence. 24th place last week, 6th this week. People have fallen in love with it again, haven’t they?
