Randomness



Frank Zappa on an old 80's show called "Crossfire" defending the lyrical content of his albums, and in the process manages to rip on apple pie institutions like the bible, the USA's "founding fathers".
Very classy lad once he gets fired up :lol:

Uematsu plays the synth-keyboards in the band and has occasionally employed singers for some of their songs (Like Mister Goo for The Skies Above). The music also melds but in with it's more orchestral origins and The Black Mages have made appearances with orchestras playing songs from the Squaresoft catalogue (which is now a regular and well known concert set in Japan and even here in Australia).

Dude, thank you so much for posting this, I have never heard of it before. But when is it in Australia? I have heard of the Final Fantasy Orchestra coming early next year, with Arnie Roth conducting. But no mention of Uematsu coming.

Not sure if Uematsu will come out.

have a friend who was part of the last Squaresoft choir here in Oz and she said that Uematsu came out to watch but not perform.
Would be great to see The Black Mages live on stage, especially with an symphony orchestra because their new CD is meant to have an opera piece on it.

any details on the next Square orchestra concert though?

Uematsu has said in many interviews that international tours with him (and The Black Mages) are very unlikely. Keep in mind that he already has a very lucrative career and is in pretty much constant demand as a composer and studio musician in one of the fastest moving and most cut-throat segments of the entertainment industry around - video games. Playing shows in Japan is one thing but you probably have better odds of seeing Led Zeppelin play here.

I think you are talking about "PLAY" The Video Game Symphony. Because I don't remember any Square Enix music come out here alone. If I missed I will be greatly pissed off.

I know this is a Wiki site but it says that this tour is coming to Aus in 2009.

I haven't been able to confirm it or find out where it came from but I hope it is true.

EDIT: I found the website where it came from.

5. You've made a bong out of your garden hose rather than use it for
something illegal such as watering the garden.
This one seriously made me laugh so hard i nearly fell off my chair, just because I have so many examples of it!
...The best is the thick black hose lol


9. You pronounce Melbourne as "Mel-bin".

10. You pronounce Penrith as "Pen-riff".

Actually it's "Mel-boring" but the 2nd one is true :p

It just occurred to me that this little dude :lol: - who supposedly acts as an emoticon for "LOL" - looks like what I imagine Pacman would look like from front-on.
