SuperRadMike’s Top 10 Valentine’s Day Songs

Published

on

Ahhh Valentine’s Day is finally here and of course if you’re with someone it’s freakin’ awesome and if you’re not then it’s lame. Either way I have picked my top 10 “love” songs and thought I’d share them with you. So get you favorite bottle of lube and enjoy! 

10. Nofx – “Liza And Louise” 

What can I say? I haven’t met one straight male who doesn’t like the idea of two ladies gettin’ down. 
 
9. Dethklok – “Castraitikron” 
If  you’ve ever been whipped you get where this song is coming from. If not then you’re probably whipped. Also Dethklok rules. 
 
8. She Wants Revenge – “Tear You Apart” 
The one thing I love is it’s about one thing: straight fuckin’! It’s super moody, dark and dirty. Not too mention something you want to whisper in your Valentine’s ear.  
7. Poison The Well – “Nerdy” 
To me this has always been the epitome of sappy, pathetic and in love. But it is definitely well written and intense. One of my personal favorites. 
 
6. Nine Inch Nails – “We’re In This Together Now” 
A list like this assumes to have Nine Inch Nails on it. Even before seeing the video the song made me feel like I would be running to the person I cared about. To be honest the lyrics are quite sweet. I feel Trent Reznor secretly like to write love songs. I.E. “Closer” and “The Perfect Drug”. Or Maybe it’s just me. 
 
5. T.S.O.L. – “Code Blue” 
The title is a little misleading, this song is about necrophilia. One of the first punk songs I had ever heard and wouldn’t you know it, it’s about a guy having sex with dead bodies. True love and devotion. 
 
 
4. Reggie And The Full Effect – “Congratulations Smack + Katy” 
To be honest this video/song is quite adorable and awesome. Hopefully this gives you motivation to find your peanut butter. Or jelly. Also it’s by the old drummer of Coalesce, how is that not awesome? 
 
3. Death From Above 1979 – “Pull Out” 
Watch the video. The singer/drummer gives an exact description of what the song is about and why it’s appropriate for Valentine’s Day. 
 
2. Cannibal Corpse – “I Cum Blood” 
I’m starting to think I might have a problem with necrophilia. Eh, oh well! Once again about another guy enjoys having his way with dead ladies. Except he likes to give back, if you will. With his blood. Enjoy! 
 
1. The Lonely Island – “I Just Had Sex” 
I can’t think of a better way to end this list then with this song. I hope this is how everyone’s Valentine’s Day ends, fireworks and all.

‘Wolfenstein 3D’, ‘Doom’ Composer Bobby Prince Has Passed Away at 81

Published

on

Bobby Prince, the composer who provided the soundtracks to legendary titles such as Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, and Doom II, has passed away.

Prince’s family confirmed the composer’s death on June 16 late last week at the age of 81. No cause of death was released.

id Software, the company that gave Prince his first job in the industry, paid tribute to the composer, referring to him as a “video game music pioneer.”

Indeed, in addition to providing the soundtracks to id Software’s hits in the FPS genre, Bobby Prince also provided the soundtracks to other id Software classics, such as portions of the scores for Commander Keen series and the forerunner to the modern FPS, Catacomb 3-D. Prince also worked with Apogee Software and 3D Realms, providing the soundtrack for Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, and teaming with Lee Jackson for Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem 3D.

Bobby Prince’s death comes just after the Library of Congress announced back in May that his soundtrack for Doom would be preserved in the National Recording Registry.

The soundtrack for Doom and its sequel took inspiration from designer John Romero‘s collection of CDs at the studio, which included the likes of Alice in Chains, Pantera, and Metallica. In spite of the limitations composers faced with the sound cards of the era, Prince was able to replicate riffs from songs like “Master of Puppets” and “Painkiller” for tracks like “At Doom’s Gate”, the iconic opening track for Doom‘s first level, E1M1.

For Doom II‘s soundtrack, Prince continued to employ the same tactic, lifting rifts from songs like “Sex Type Thing”, “After All (The Dead)”, “South of Heaven” and more.

In addition to composing, Bobby Prince was also a practicing lawyer, and had pursued a career as an attorney before making his way into the video games industry.

Bobby Prince is survived by his wife Connie, and his sons, Robert Caskin Prince IV and Andrew (Cristy) Prince.
