2019 "Pop Is Dead Again" Year End List Extraordinaire

Something I've learned is that music isn't really dead, you're just looking in the wrong genres. I don't suggest looking at the pop charts and only the pop charts, though, of course that's harder now because Billboard became a bunch of greedy old farts because they're probably run by a bunch of greedy old farts, but at least we can see the whole year-end still and be disappointed to whatever degree we tend to be while being fans of genres that don't show up on this list.

Maybe there's songs you like on this list, and that's fine, but my tastes have not been any more than barely aligned with whatever this public view might be for some time. Take, for instance, my Spotify year-end automated lists which I've only posted one of here at this time, which can feature songs such as Borderline by Tame Impala, or Juice by Lizzo, both of which are not on this list, though another Lizzo song is.

Games I Beat In 2019, But Ranked

I figured I'd revisit this type of list review since I haven't done one in a couple years. This time I've beaten quite a few more games over the year, trying to take an approach where I beat or at least start and play through the games as I get them, and will be ranking them once again in countdown format, so number 1 is at the end. I'll also note what system I played on or downloaded from this time.

Star Wars Episode 9 Talk Thing (Totally Spoilers)

Time to talk about the latest divisive movie. No, not that Cats thing. Actually I could say this about most movies now. Anyway, this will have spoilers for Star Wars: Episode 9: Rise Of The Skywalkers or whatever it's called, so don't click through this post unless you've seen the movie or have no plans at all to see it ever and also don't care about spoilers.

Game Award Festival 2019 Demo Reviews

While I'm busy with a bunch of other things, including the year-end song rating list thing for this year, a thing called the Game Awards happened. It was a weird time. Also, they decided to release a bunch of trade show type demos on Steam for a couple days. In this limited time window they were available, limited even more by how I'm busy with stuff such as work, I went and played a small handful of the demos I was interested in. I'll just go with unscored impressions here as the games are still works in progress and this is just a small sample.

Weezer Sings THE HITS! Order now and get a second copy of the album FREE! Just pay Shipping and Handling and MSRP and Sales Tax and Bribe Money.

Well Weezer is still around and making albums apparently. And this one's all covers. For some reason they just decided to make a while bunch of those. Enough to fill a whole album, apparently. I'm going to look at this not-quite-blue-not-quite-green album.
