You know what's funny about that movie, I found this out about a year or so ago. The movie was based on the experiences of Mike Judge when he worked in a Navy office, and when my co-workers and I found that out, we were like, "yep, sounds about right". :lol:

The Hu back with another good one.

I've not listed to this in a few years. For some reason it popped in my head this evening so I revisited the performance. It still gives me chills how good this is!

Not the usual stuff we see on here, nice change up. There's something to be said for more expressive music, outside of "mainstream", especially with the modern stuff you hear on the radio these days.

Here's another cool piece of music from Game of Thrones. This is The Red Woman for Melisandre. Such a great character who was F'ed over by the show runners like so much else in the last few seasons of the series.

The last couple of day, when I've been running errands, this has come on the Classic Rock station that I listen to. Always been a favorite of mine, but after hearing it a few times back to back, figured it's worth throwing in the thread.
