This week, three songs connected to computer games, either literally or tangentally. Not going to say much about them, because, well, it’s a week when I should be doing other stuffs, and am not so far…

Blue Skies Forever – DoYouInvert

I first heard DoYouInvert on the wonderfully, “only vaguely about gaming” gaming podcast, “One Life Left“. He/they do great little anti-folk songs about games.

In other news, I think I have a bit of a crush on Ann Scantlebury, adorably cute and naughty “only vaguely about gaming” newswench. The pictures at their website don’t really give a very clear indication of why I like her voice so much. That isn’t how sounds and pictures work, apparently.

Dust Off Your Cartridge – Joahmonkey

This is actually a mashup, and I know very little about it, beyond that it’s awesome. J directed me to it – there’s a good chance that it comes from either the SomethingAwful or Dinosaur Comics forum.

Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another Castle – Mountain Goats and Kaki King

A lovely love song about the Nintendo trademark character. I think I heard this for the first time via BoingBoing, but it’s a favourite at 1LL as well. Good times!
