Another banger bardcore cover from the_miracle_aligner “freebird” in Middle English

[bebethsas]

Mr. Gaiman, sir, you didn't know about the subsection on YT dedicated to making old-timey covers of things? (the Old-English cover of Royals by Lorde from the same channel as above is also really good)

also, it's about DAMN TIME the Stranger Things fandom (not just the Hellcheer fandom, but the ENTIRE fandom at large) finally discovered this cover!! There's only 2 or so ST comments in the comments section (I'm one of them!)

also foundtherightwords is writing a Medieval AU for Hellcheer week too? #I'm ruined

(lmao, don't get me wrong, I'm still gonna write my thing and do my best to make it Damn Good, but still. Eep.)

also also if anyone has questions about Medieval fashion (Europe, ~1000s - 1400 C.E.), ESPECIALLY female fashion, hmo, I went down a rabbithole recently, and don't mind sharing the knowledge with y'all lke a Mama bird.

Like Bardcore is a thing and nobody was going to tell me about it?

the_miracle_aligner - All Star cover in Classical Latin (BARDCORE\Medieval Style) Original by Smash Mouth

[nerdyonlineramblings]

prima verba "All Star" in latinā, traducta ā mē:

Aliquis mihi "mundum" inquit "mē necābit"

nōn novus Aristotlē sum

c*m digitīs duōbus,

stulta ea stābat

"l" summā capute faciens

(gna say this in english cuz i want my meaning to be absolutely clear: i know the_miracle_aligner on yt did the same thing, but this translation is entirely my own work; and will continue to be if i translate more.)

[hartshorn-and-isinglass]

Hercle, Tu Es Victor, I Et Accipe Palmam

...God dammit.

the_miracle_aligner bringing yet another absolute banger into existence. All Star in Classical Latin

[bzedan]

We watched Civil War early on in the month and although some of the camera stuff wasn't on (watching any photography-focused movie with a person who was a photojournalist for over a decade, when oneself also has decades of photography experience is like watching VH1 Pop Up Video) the music was a fun mix, and reminded me how much I love the band Suicide, and the use of 'Rocket USA' was solid.

Speaking of music from movies, 'Sara Loves Her Juicy Fruit' has been on my monthly playlists before and is from Creep 2. It came up naturally in a suggested playlist and I dug it and couldn't figure out why more of this "Albert Natural" band wasn't out there then learned it was just a movie-only song very much riffing on like, Phish (though my partner clarifies it really is more in the style of Umphrey's McGee).

Realising there are a lot of covers in this one.

Related media to some of the songs:

We all know 'Baker Street' but have you heard the demo, which has guitar in place of sax? It's got a different, but also very good, vibe. Not as sad, more dreamy, I guess?

The_miracle_aligner overall has many classic language covers of songs that bop, but this cover of 'All Star' also I think is one of those covers that helps underline how genuinely a bop a song is. I've linked the orchestral version by Eric E. Britt before, I'm sure.

Hey, you know how I first heard The Polyphonic Spree? In a flash game called The Quest For The Rest, by Amanita Design. The first scene of it is thankfully archived on Archive dot org, and it was so wild to play it um, literally 20 years later.

Anyway here's a link to August's playlist on Spotify, with the track list below the cut.
