#Armin feels like a 1989 guy to me

[rengokussy]

Whether or not aot characters would go to the Eras tour

Eren: Yes, was dragged to the show by Armin and Mikasa. Pretends to hate it, but gets caught humming some of the songs

Mikasa: Yes, a total Reputation girl. Had the best outfit of the lot

Armin: Yes, knows all the lyrics and traded friendship bracelets the whole time

Jean: No, at home streaming Cowboy Carter instead

Connie: No, didn’t buy tickets and watches livestreams on TikTok

Sasha: Yes, and she’s hoping for a debut song during the acoustic set

Reiner: Yes, bawls during the Archer. Wore a cowboy hat and boots for the Fearless era

Levi: Yes, Erwin bought them floor tickets. Prefers Folklore and Evermore, but 100% also has a soft spot for Speak Now

Erwin: Yes, converted Levi slowly over the years. Is a huge Red fan, but more into the sad girl autumn vibes

Hange: No, they’re actually banned from most major concert and sporting venues

Sci Fi Month 2 : Arena

For the second film of Sci Fi Month we are looking at a film that I think is underrated

This.....Well Wikipedia says the film was released in 1989,but from what I can see the film was shot in 1988 and shelved till 1991 ....This film follows Steve Armstrong (Paul Satterfield ) is given the chance to fight in the Arena ,making him the first human in 50 years to get a shot at the championship

Sooooo I couldnt find many reviews,and when I did they dismiss the film as shlock..Now I aint saying this is one of the greata ....But this is a very enjoyable film and I think it is a sucess .I like to view a movie on its own merits and does the film deliver what it promises.The film promises a guy fighting alien monsters......And we get a guy fighting alien monsters,and I am satisfied

I think the creature effects are the real stars ,the variety of beasties and aliens make the world feel lived in .The makeup and anmatronics are top notch (My favorite being this slug/lizard /grasshopper creature ).We also have some fun performances ,Hammilton Camp is fun as the best friend with all the contacts ,Armin Shimmerman is appropriately weasily as the main henchman Weazal (Also the movie gives us a fight between Gizmoduck and Quark ,and I praise the movie for this ),Claudia Christain is solid as the manager but the best performance goes to Mark Alaimo as the crooked Rogor,very theatrical .Also the premise is just great ,I think that premise hooked me into the movie

If I have an issue its that I wish Steve was more likeable,and I didnt dig Frank Welkers voice as his rival Horn ,but I enjoyed the rest of the film so it didnt bother me

OVerall this is a fun B Movie worth a watch if like me you love good creature design .....Also with Shimmerman and Alaimo this is a must watch for Star Trek Deep Space 9 fans

Today’s mix:

Trance Nation 2 by System F / Ferry Corsten 1999 Trance / Progressive Trance / Progressive House

Damn...just...damn. Can we all just go back to 1999, please? Fuuuuck. Two things from this double-disc mix by Ferry Corsten that are particularly striking: one, in retrospect, this amazing release that Corsten put out on Ministry of Sound served as just another rung in the ladder that he used to climb into the pantheon of trance gods. '99 proved to be such a momentous year for this dude in the early portion of his career; he released "Out of the Blue," co-produced a pair of incredible 12-inches with Tiësto as Gouryella, and operated as half of Veracocha with Vincent de Moor, too. And that was just his production side. Within the same year, Corsten also put out a bunch of top-notch remixes and simultaneously killed the DJ mix game with four separate, commercially released mixes.

Second striking thing: you know a guy is really on top when he puts out a mix that links together contemporary banger after contemporary banger and his own bangers are the ones that hit the hardest. Outside of maybe Humate's "Love Stimulation," it's the Veracocha mix of Ayla's "Ayla," the Gouryella mix of Binary Finary's "1999," Corsten's own 5AM mix of "Out of the Blue," his mix of Electrique Boutique's "Revelation," and Veracocha's "Carte Blanche" that all stand out as this release's top-tier tunes. Like, imagine being a producer/remixer/DJ and putting out a mix whose best tracks are your own productions and remixes, and for that mix to also be accurately representative of a certain point in time. That's some legendary shit.

Plus, my man dug all the way back into 1989 for his closer with 808 State's "Pacific," showing that this incredible house tune that was a decade old at the time still went. And it still goes today! I was actually in the top one-tenth of one percent of 808 State's top Spotify listeners last year, so that little nugget at the end feels extra special to me 😎.
