So there's this election around the corner, right? All about choosing a new President for the United States or whatever, and I keep hearing people complain about how after this election they won't be able to rant about how much they hate Bush anymore. Personally I don't understand where they're coming from. I, for one, love Bush. Those guys rocked so hard throughout the 1990's and early 00's and anyone who hates on them just can't be my friend anymore.
I've always been particularly smitten with their 1996 sophomore record Razorblade Suitcase, an emotionally dense powerhouse of crunched guitars, squealing feedback and ominous negative space. This album cries out for monsters, as demonstrated in the music videos for singles "Greedy Fly" and "Mouth", and monsters it shall receive in the form of Konami's 1990 classic Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
There's a lot to love about Castlevania III, but I feel I couldn't possibly add to what's been said before aside from I love it to pieces. Instead, I will add that this marks the first Alternate Soundtrack video to be available in iPod video format. If you have a free Vimeo account, feel free to download your portable copy of today's video right here and let me know if this is something I should keep doing / find a less exclusive download source.
