Battle of the Bands; Audio

[Tucker usually uses text but today he's making an exception. This is an audio-themed post, after all.]

Hey Hadriel, got a challenge for you.

[And if the many 'fuck off Null' posts this month are any indication, a challenge will surely get peoples' attention.]

Some pretty fuckin' fantastic tunes came in with the newbie wave this month, and I'm pretty sure I've got the best one of the bunch. So your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to prove me wrong. But just know, this is what you're up against.

[There's a couple seconds of silence, followed by the loud click of a boombox play button. And then, with Tucker clearly holding the phone up to a speaker, the entirety of this song plays.]

Think you can beat that shit? Come at me.


[OOC: Find the worst/best music and audio you can, in line with the intro log's examples. Threadjacking is encouraged! Make fun of each others' shitty music. Have fun.]

[The phone is filming at a strange angle, but Fingon's face is visible-and visibly bewildered at what he's hearing. What he's looking at is an offscreen stereo, already partway through a tune with a particular sixties groove....]

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
On a big adventure to the caves below,
To help some dwarves get back their gold
That was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

[At that point Fingon blinks, shakes his head, and reaches out to shut off the stereo.]

...What did I just listen to?

[Here's a face that's new to the network, but not new to town. Raidou has been here for four months already, but he's not exactly the chatty type. He's never felt a reason to talk to the network, until today. He's posting this from the arcade portion of the speakeasy, where the many bleeps and bloops of the machines can be heard around him.

There's a moment where he looks really hesitant about doing this. Recording yourself just seemed weird to him. What was he supposed to say to start this off?]

Good afternoon. My name is Raidou Kuzunoha. I know a lot of people here have been offering their assistance with combat training, and I'm here to do the same. I'd like to set up a class where I can teach people how to use a katana. While the armory does have several, I'd rather not have new students using sharpened blades. Would there be anyone who would be able to help create some practice swords? I don't have a lot of woodworking experience myself... Ah, and of course, if you wish to join for practice, do let me know. It's getting more important here every day that people know how to defend themselves.

Ah, also. Would anyone like to play some of these arcade games? I've been playing a few, and I think I'm doing rather well with some of them. [He swings the camera around to show the high scores on the Space Invaders machine. He has the top score, beating second place by a wide margin. In the space for your initials, he's put R14. If you look at the top scores for each game, he's listed in the top 5 on all of them. Anyone up for a challenge?]
