The Company You Keep is officially my new obsession.
- It’s got a family business, of thieves/con artists, which is AWESOME
- Two hot lead actors with really hot kissing scenes
- Romance between opposing forces (a la Romeo & Juliet) who don’t KNOW they’re opposing forces (and it’s a law enforcement agent and a thief, which is my favourite kind of opposing force-romance <3)
- Milo Ventimiglia on a motorcycle..... <3<3
I am LOVING this show, so I really hope it lasts.....*crosses fingers*

Thinking once again about how Nobuo Uematsu and Masayoshi Soken are both completely amazing composers but in completely opposite directions let me explain
Disclaimer I am not a music theorist; most of music theory is black fucking magic to me. I barely know what a chord is and the circle of fifths makes me quake as though before an Elder God. I just really like both of their works and sometimes I have thoughts about things. Also this is all just my opinion, it's fine if you don't agree, etc.
So: Uematsu is first and foremost, in my opinion, an absolute master of melody. I believe it's what makes his work so iconic and makes so many of his pieces so instantly recognizable. The Final Fantasy theme, the chocobo theme, Dancing Mad, Vamo'alla Flamenco, fucking One-Winged Angel--Just from seeing those names, you've probably got one playing in your head already. You could start humming it right now. Maybe you are already.
And it makes perfect sense when you consider the era he was working in, because back in the 8-bit and 16-bit era, the melody was all you had. When you have such a tiny amount of storage space to work with, you can really play only one, maybe two notes at a time. You can't do anything that's layered, because you only have one layer to work with. I think that's why so much video game music from that era is so memorable and iconic. It's not just because you played so much Street Fighter II when you were a kid that the music is indelibly seared into your brain (though that probably doesn't hurt); it's also because Yoko Shimomura wrote really solid melodies that had nothing else competing for your aural attention (apart from the in-game sound effects, which are probably also seared into your memory). (Yoko Shimomura, btw, also composed the music for Final Fantasy XV, the entire Kingdom Hearts series, and like 50 other games over the past 40 years, another fucking icon).
But back to Uematsu: like I said, melodic genius. Even when his work is upscaled into full orchestral arrangements, that core melody is always front and center. And his affinity for melody makes even more sense when you consider that before he got into video game composing, he was writing commercial jingles. (Younger folks may not be aware, but there was a time when practically every product had to have its own theme song, and the best ones were short, snappy, and instantly memorable--and for that, again, you need a strong, simple melody. Ba da ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it.)
Compare: Soken. Soken only started at Square 12 years after Uematsu, which isn't that long in human terms (to me at least, cos I'm old), but it is a long fuckin' time in video game years. By the time he started composing for games, there was so much more you could do with game music in terms of layering, complexity, and sound, and you can tell from his work that he takes full advantage of that. His work is complex and dense, a rich layer cake of themes and motifs, all beautifully merging and weaving together, often to extraordinary effect.
And again, if you look at his pre-music career, it makes a lot of sense that he'd have that approach to music, because he first got into the games industry as a sound designer; I believe that he is the sound director for all the FFXIV expansions, as well as being the composer. So of course he'd be very aware of not just how a sound (or piece of music) works on its own, but of how it fits into the greater whole, and of how to layer and balance lots of different sounds to create something greater than the sum of its parts. And of course it makes sense that he'd bring that approach to his compositions as well.
As a consequence of this approach, though, his music often lacks the memorable melodies that characterize Uematsu's work. Like, I ground (grinded?) Dun Scaith a lot the last time it was on the Mogstone rotation, I know all the boss themes extremely well and can recognize each of them instantly. But if you asked me right now to hum one? I don't think I could. (This isn't a deficiency, to be clear; music doesn't need a prominent core melody in order to be good.)
And that's also not to say that all his music lacks iconic melodies. His vocal tracks, pretty much by definition, have to put a single melody front and center; and then on top of that (or rather, behind it), you have all that trademark Soken richness and depth. Which is probably also why his vocal tracks go so fucking hard.
I think that's also why, out of all the expansions, I like Heavensward's music the best. Most of Heavensward's score is written by Soken, but the main theme is Uematsu's, and you may notice it's basically a tasting menu of like 5 or 6 excellent, very recognizable melodies, one right after the other. And basically every piece on the Heavensward soundtrack incorporates one or more of these melodies. So it really does give you the best of both worlds, and gives the overall score a cohesion that I don't see as much with the other expansions.
TL;DR, Uematsu and Soken are both amazing composers with very different and complimentary styles that reflect their differing backgrounds and the different eras of games in which they have worked and I just think that's neat.

Monday, 11-18-24, 2pm Pacific
Good afternoon, folks. Mr. Baggins setting the Wayback Machine to 1966 for our Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax. Only one way to start this off today: with a hearty "Ba-da, ba-da-da-da". The Mamas and The Papas.
youtube
The Lovin' Spoonful, from the same year, with "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice"
youtube
And 1966 found the Supremes with yet another number one, "You Can't Hurry Love".
youtube
1966 also gave us this one-off hit by James and Bobby Purify; this is the original mono 45 of "I'm Your Puppet", one of the biggest hits of the year.
youtube
Toward the end of the year, a young Aaron Neville gave us this indelible hit, which stayed atop the charts into the new year. Here's his classic "Tell It Like It Is"
youtube
And taking things a lot harder, here's The Count Five, having themselves a regular Psychotic Reaction.
youtube
Everybody was fallin' apart, even the Stones!
youtube
After she walked all over us with those boots, Nancy Sinatra took us to Sugar Town.
youtube
J.J. Jackson told us it was alright...
youtube
And Sam and Dave told us to Hold On...
youtube
That wraps up today's Afternoon Stack of Classic Wax. Mr. Baggins signing off for now, but I'll be back at 7pm Pacific with a set to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night.
Until then, be kind, babies, be kind.
Baggins out.

Man i absolutely fucking LOVED McDonald’s as a child. Like imagine a toddler just minding her own business and it’s either lunch or dinner time and one of her parents go “ba da ba ba baa” the little jingle for McDonalds and then suddenly filled with excitement the little toddler goes full blast “I’M LOVIN’ IT!” Because that meant her family was going to eat McDonald’s. That little girl is now an adult woman who is steering clear of McDonald’s due to all the shit they’re doing
oh yeah 100 percent I didn't mean that post as a 'aaaa boycotting it is so hard because I love it so much' kinda thing I've been vibing fine
its more of a 'I'm boycotting it just fine but idk if my parents are even cognizant about what's going on let alone what side of it they're on and I don't have the courage to broach that topic with them by explaining why I've been staunchly avoiding McDonalds' kinda deal
#out of queue#answered asks#ani rambles#anonymous#oh god i just got a vivid image in my mind of what if someone brings it up on thanksgiving#or worse what if my mom brings it up randomly one day just to watch me and dad argue about it for sport#she did it with roe v wade last year. it was not a fun argument in the slightest.#*deep sigh* lets hope she doesn't do it again

1. Odette Isabel de Treville - There’s no reason why I picked the name other than I wanted to have an OC named Odette for awhile. lol. BUT I have a feeling Odette was a family name on her father’s side and Isabel on her mother’s.
2. Not really. They see marriage as more of a trap for women. Boy is she surprised when she finds out she has one. lol.
3. Only child.
4. Her mother died when she was young, so she doesn’t really have one.
5. Odette’s biggest strength is her ability not to back down. While it’s rather frowned upon for her time, she’s a strong woman who doesn’t need a man.
Happy Holidays, @arrthurpendragon.
I hope you like this moodboard and character questions for your BBC Musketeers character, Odette.
OC Questions about Odette
What is their full name? Is there a meaning behind it? Why did you (or their family) give them that name?
Do they believe in soulmates?
Does they have any siblings? If multiple siblings, which one are they closest to?
What is their relationship like with their mother?
What is their biggest strength?
