Ask Lemmy

Music from two bands in the DC area from the 90s. Testicular Momentum and Scooter Trash. Searchs for these bands are more likely to turn up results for testicular torsion or scooter rentals in Washington than the bands.

Testicular Momentum is proper original industrial music from before Nine Inch Nails stole the name for a pop music sub genre.

Scooter Trash is hard rock. The kind of music that’s suitable for hearing if you’re drunk in a loud bar.

As for particular media…

TM has a track on a various artists cassette: https://www.discogs.com/artist/238652

Same with ST but a more recent digital release: https://www.discogs.com/release/2804166-Various-Fuck-Corporate-Wank-Volume-2

This is an odd one. Deep Africa is an episode from an obscure series called Inflated, which came out some 20 years ago. I remember someone at a party having a VHS of it.

It features blowup dolls as the main characters. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen it, probably hasn’t aged well, but I remember aspects of it being funny, if not absurd.

Pigskin footbrawl

Getbackers. It was an anime that I liked as a kid. I tried to rewatch it recently and realized how bad it is.

Clonk rage was a game that I wished got a new one, it was basically lemmings x worms x teraria where you would gather resources and avoid danger while trying to kill all your opponents clonks... so many memories of playing it multiplayer... it got open sourced a while ago, (open clonk) if your interested

I'm still bummed that the band Splashdown was screwed over by the music industry. They were too jazz for pop fans and too pop for jazz fans but had an amazing sound and a brilliant vocalist in Melissa Kaplan. They released a couple EPs and a brief album (Stars & Garters) before their major label debut Blueshift was permanently shelved.

They posted a goodbye collection of demos & b-sides before dissolving into Universal Hall Pass, Freezepop, and Anarchy Club.

Edit: Got nostalgic and searched for news - happy Sol Invictus to me I guess! https://splashdown1.bandcamp.com/track/metamorphosis

There's also the Pine Salad Productions fan-dub of a few Dirty Pair and Macross episodes from the late-80s, I think? I had a 5th gen VHS of a few ("The Dirty Pair Does Dishes" was one). Insane dubs that were absurd and utterly unrelated to the actual plots or even characters. I thought they were hysterical when I was a young edgy person.

A friend found "remastered" versions a few years ago and...the humour has not aged well, to put it mildly. Watch at your own risk. Glad I'm no longer edgy I suppose.

There was a dnd game for the intellivision

A friend and I used to play Liero Xtreme lots when we were kids. I have never seen any mention of that game anywhere on any forum in my years on the internet

Denver the Last Dinosaur!

I've never met anyone who knows what this is, even if I sing what I remember from the theme song.

My husband is slightly older than me and he had no idea wtf I was describing. It was a late 80s/early 90s cartoon with a green long necked Dinosaur with sunglasses that performed in a band.

I had to YouTube the theme song to make him believe it was real.

The games I've made.

Movie: Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

Music: Buggie Techinica by Polysics

I'll throw mine in:

Video games: Weird Dreams and Spectre VR both for PC back in the early 90s iirc

Music: one artist i really enjoy that unfortunately died from covid in 2020 though he was only in his 20s... His name was Cesar Alexandre and i got to know and love much of his work as Lindsheaven Virtual Plaza. In fact, my first thought when i heard the opening track from their EP Daily Night Euphoria was that it would have been a great soundtrack for Spectre VR...

Captain Zoom in Outerspace

It was direct to TV Galaxy Quest before Galaxy Quest.
