I hope everyone had a good Christmas and/or New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Day, depending on what you celebrate and how. I received Metroid Dread, MiiTopia and Naruto; Ultimate Ninja Storm 4-Road to Boruto (the last through a gift card) for Christmas and bought all the songs I listed as my favorites of 2021 (was only missing Bukimisha’s acapella rendition of the Godzilla and Rodan Soundtracks and the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss album) and also got the track “Treasure” from the last RWBY Soundtrack, which is a love song about the characters Yang and Blake, one of a few lesbian/bisexual love songs the show has released. It has become part of my favorites of 2021 in my iTunes playlist, but it’s not yet on Spotify (or Amazon’s MP3s, for that matter).
On New Year’s Day, I finally deactivated my DeviantArt account after seeing the website embrace the stupid throughout the pandemic. Ultimately, I had developed too many uncontrollable grudges and was enjoying myself much more on Twitter and Facebook, so I felt I had no choice, either quit or endure them giving my Edelgard/Edelgard-Byleth romance screenshots low likes in comparison to the other houses, especially the Blue Lions house, for the rest of my life. That may not seem like that bad a thing, but when it feels everywhere says “don’t do the Black Eagles route, do the Blue Lions route” and it felt so liberating to befriend Edelgard that you don’t want to stop being around her, you follow Tara Platt on Twitter and give her and her husband praise and little inputs of your opinion when prompted and it makes you feel better as a whole, plus they trash Amber Heard, who posts pictures of herself with appropriate “Dad jokes” on Twitter, it becomes “stay and be muted more and more, or leave and don’t deal with that plus homophobia.”
The first major release week of the year first deals with me finding a pair of cover albums credited to Kurstin X Grohl, as in Dave Grohl, drummer for Nirvana and lead singer/guitarist for the Foo Fighters. They are called the Hannukah Sessions and feature Hannukah-themed album art, as well as an appearance of Dave’s daughter Violet. Some of the songs covered include “Mississippi Queen” by Mountain, “Rock and Roll” by Lou Reed, “Jump” by Van Halen and “Rock and Roll All Night” by KISS. Other releases include a box set of David Bowie music called “Toy Box,” an album by Anime and Video Game song cover artist AmaLee that seems to be all originals and a new album from GameChops, the people who brought us two albums called “Zelda and Chill” and one called “Samus and Chill,” with relaxed renditions of music from the Legend of Zelda and Metroid series. This one is called “Chocobo and Chill” and features music from the Final Fantasy series. This will feature relaxing versions of the main theme from Final Fantasy VII, Aerith’s Theme (one of the main characters of that game) and Terra’s Theme (one of the main characters from Final Fantasy VI).
