Virus Links #2

Devin Townsend; Empath

Today’s main link is to Devin Townsend’s Twitch page. Townsend’s Empath is right at the top of the list for best album of the last year as far as I’m concerned. The discerning listener (said with lilting, pretentious tones) with find sounds ranging from blast beat blasting metal to Broadway open vocal to positively poppy. For the virus he seems to have at least two projects going: releasing daily demo tracks to YouTube and live streams on using all the fancy software that makes modern mixing. Go watch:

Second share today has almost nothing to do with music, except maybe having one of the most recognizable theme songs of the last 60 years. But it is thoroughly awesome:

Hang in there.
