Enough with these lovey-dovey Halloween-Town noms. It's time for something genuinely creepy and unnerving and destined for defeat:

Composer: Jason Graves
Album: Dead Space 2 Original Video Game Score
Track Title: Say Hello To My Little Friends
Track Number: 8
Year: 2011
Additional Information: Exploding babies and hive-mind-linked murderkids, oh my.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Bah, we've had albums with dozens of songs nominated. As long as it's not the same song you're fine.

Also, we'd better get some more voting and noms up in here stat if we want to have Spookyweek anywhere near Spookyday this Monday.

Angelique Music Collection ~Romancia~ - Olivie Latin acoustic guitar plus Melodrama Violin? Yes please.

Epic Pinball (Game Rip) - Android Nice synthy sound, but there's no real meat to it.

Heavy Rain (Game Rip) - Opening Movie Heavy Rain has a pretty good score, although it's about as depressing as you'd imagine given the title and bloody origami on the cover. I'd compare this to the most morose parts of Howard Shore's Silence of the Lambs, and while it has some great parts (yay piano) the rampant and intrusive SFX really kill it for me.

Neo Turf Masters (Game Rip) - Fujiyama Oriental Golf Club, Japan Decent synth funk muzak eminently fit for playing with one's balls.

Songs for the Cure '11 - Esuna - Ebenebe Ga Egbu I'm not sure what the songs were attempting to cure, but it does make me hope that people actually buy and contribute toward said cure. Considering that it's for charity I also feel a little squirmy about saying that the music was so-so Moon Language yowling. But them's the breaks.

TEN PLANTS - chlorella production manager I'm still not sure what the deal with this album and its sequel was, but this is a nice bouncy and melodic song regardless--very much in the Duel Saga/Dragon Quarter mold.

The Battle for Wesnoth (Game Rip) - The City Falls I feel kind of bad attacking this as tinny and shallow synth bombast--after all, the game is open source and the composer was working for free. But, sadly, it really shows,

Zool 2 (Amiga CD32 Game Rip) - Swan Lake I was thinking, based on the title, that someone might have accidentally nominated a remix of Tchaikovsky thinking that it was original game music (a la Loom). Not the case! No one could mistake this rather bizarre track for Pyotr Ilyich.

The Point Spread
Cholera Production - 3 pts.
Romancing Olivia - 2 pts.
Schwansee - 1 pt.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

By my count we have six. Enough for a crippled mutant week but no more.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes yes let's all make fun of orion's nom please

My comments never get made into thread titles...

I was speaking idiomatically.

You would have had to wait all the way to now o'clock, so good call.

Also: suck it, haters

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
