I really enjoyed it!! Obviously it feels different than the og Muppet Show for multiple reasons but I thought it was a good modern take on that classic formula. I know a lot of people are still getting used to Matt Vogel as Kermit but he's really grown on me in the last few years and I thought...
In case anyone was wondering how Zange's 2026 is going so far: broke one of the side mirrors on my car not even an HOUR in and now I get to figure out how to replace it 😔 don't park right next to poles kids
As part of the 70th anniversary celebration of The Muppets, their social media accounts have been doing a "Muppet of the Week" style of celebration. This week, they're doing Gonzo and let me tell you, I am THRILLED
I keep getting clips of it on my Instagram feed, so I'm here to say: Today is a good day to watch the Vincent Price episode of The Muppet Show (or any day this month, really...)
I've just found out that, as part of the 70th anniversary of The Muppets, that Marvel is making Muppet variant covers for certain comics releasing in October. Naturally, one of their artists has drawn Sam the Eagle as Captain America as part of this and it is GLORIOUS.
Will I ever update this thread the day of release again, the world may never know...
ANYWAYSSSS new Rhythm Heaven section woooo!!!!! Come find out all about the silly games from Stage 1 of Rhythm Tengoku!
"What has Zange been up to lately?"
On my own YT channel - not much, honestly ^^;; life is life-ing too hard at me right now eek
Elsewhere - quiiiiite a bit!
The Burger Trials
Tl;dr - this is a series of covering challenges hosted every so often by someone I know in the K-pop covering...
sorry but i HAAAAAATE peeps, always have and always will (i am 99% sure it's a texture thing with me tho, not necessarily bc of how sugary they are... i had a sweet tooth for many years and still do tbh but Less So now)
100% agree with this view. There are a myriad of business decisions I could criticize Disney on (especially as of late...) but their mismanagement of properties that they have acquired is definitely up there, because it has been going on for YEARS at this point.

That's right, we have the debut of a very Muppety section this month! Hope ya like the color green~
Additionally, Mixdown Breakdown is back with some sugary sweet musical...
it is once again Zange's Required Listening time: Mermaid from the Uncharted Land
brought to you by me getting back into touhou music again yippeeeeee!!!
I was playing around with a new soundfont in Signal last night when I found a MIDI file on my computer that I wasn't entirely sure what it was. Upon opening it, it seemed to be the start of an original piece I was working on around 2017 or 2018, when I was first dabbling in MIDI editors. The...
TIL that Incineroar (specifically in Smash / the Pokemon anime) is voiced by a puppeteer who has worked on Sesame Street, Bear and the Big Blue House, and Oobi (among many other productions)
The power of pseudonyms means I am only just now learning this rip
Hey guess who gets to use this thread again 💃
We're back with a brand-new, musical section by yours truly! That's right, this is Mixdown Breakdown! If you've ever wanted to learn more about the inner workings of different songs, now's your chance!
This month's edition features a special...
Oh how I adore international co-productions of Sesame Street... they always do such a nice job of adapting characters, stories, and problems to fit different countries. Some of these co-productions don't have an equivalent to Big Bird at all because of this!
That being said, I grew up with...
Dear Waluigi Time,
For the last three weeks, I have been trying to buy a certain dipping sauce from the Mart of Wal. However they are always out of it by the time I buy my groceries without fail!! I do not speak lightly when I say that this is some of the BEST sauce I have had in YEARS, and I...
eyyyy guess who felt motivated enough to work a little bit more on Idol!
Few notes:
- Still no percussion lol
- This now goes to the end of the first chorus hehe
- I only used sheet music to figure out the piano parts in the prechorus (and even then they might not be totally right bc i could...
Hey so awards were a thing that happened last month!
Unfortunately I only had one music-related presentation, but you can still listen to it here! (as a reminder, it's half acapella, half synth)
As a bonus, here's just the synth part by itself (no midi this time bc i could not get just the bits...
Well it's certainly been a while...
I've been doing a lot of covering and YouTube shenanigans since my last post here but that's not what this post is about. I just feel inspired to share a couple of the other things I've been working on.
Remember last post when I said I was recreating Kpop in...
So there's a barcade in my college town that rotates out arcade machines every so often. I go in there tonight and they had Mario Kart Arcade GP, so naturally I play it...
Y'all. Arcade Mario Kart is a whole other LEVEL of insane
for the love of all that is good, if you decide to watch Oshi no Ko DO NOT look up anything about the characters or the plot before watching the first episode. don't make my mistakes please...
It is now my life mission to find a very specific episode of Jeopardy from the mid-2000's because as I recently learned, one of my professors was on the show
Good evening! Awards is over and now I have an excuse to 1. post the one music presentation I did this year, and 2. change the thread title to better encompass anything else I plan to do that's music related but not singing (spoiler alert I am currently recreating kpop in the MIDI editor I used...
Two things I learned last night:
1. I have multiple types when it comes to favorite characters in fictional media
2. One of those types is apparently "characters who take a nosedive off the cliff of sanity at one point or another"
