Music and General Updates for 10/22/2021

     Last week's Judas Priest release was a really great metal album of songs I was both familiar with and new songs/versions of songs I hadn't heard before.  The Beatles' Super Deluxe version of Let it Be had some great tracks, but I'm probably not going to buy the whole thing over time since some of the jams were already available on Anthology 3 and Let it Be...Naked Disc 2.  Others were brand new and were fun to listen to, though, so that made it worth it.  Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson had a great Christmas song and K.Flay had a great single for her EP, due out November 19th.

 

    Smash Bros. Ultimate released its final DLC on Monday, Sora from Kingdom Hearts and his stage, Hollow Bastion.  I made Mii Swordfighters of Kingdom Hearts characters Aqua and Xion to accompany this and they fit pretty well, making Sora my third favorite DLC character to play as.


 I am planning on getting Metroid Dread, Miitopia, Splatoon 3 and (if it exists) a Persona fighting game for the Switch and I'm not sure if I'll get anything else, I've played a lot of video games over these last two years to keep myself busy and my mind off of COVID and as such, may be losing my desire to keep playing them due to overuse.  Honestly, I'd like to see more concerts and baseball games in the future, rather than be cooped up in my apartment and fight through too many more video games.

 

This week sees one major release I'm looking forward to musically;

 

Elton John-The Lockdown Sessions: Stuck inside with not much to do like the rest of us, Sir Elton John decided to collaborate on a wide variety of recordings, here available in one album.  Duets with Dua Lipa, Rina Sawayama, Brandi Carlile, Eddie Vedder, Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder are all available, as is the cover of "Nothing Else Matters" by Miley Cyrus Elton John did piano for. It looks like a majorly exciting release and I am seriously looking forward to how the tracks I haven't heard yet sound.
