Ask Lemmy

Edit: Just to sell it a little harder, this album has phenomenal songwriting. It's got a laid-back LA-surf-rock sound with elements of punk and maybe a hint of wistful country in the lyrics.

The What! Help is On The Way

This album and band is endangered, no CD's, unavailable on any music streaming service.

The only online version I could find is this a random YouTube upload.

One of my favorite bands ever. They were introduced to me by a friend's sister in, like 1999. Their band ended quickly after the death of one of the members.

The only other link related to them now appears to be a remaining band member's channel, which hasn't been updated in 11 years.

A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z

The discography of this guy.

If you've ever played Incredibox, you most likely know him as the composer of that game's music.

There was a game from my childhood for the Dreamcast called E.G.G. (Elemental Gimmick Gear). I've never heard anyone else talk about it, but I remember it being super cool

ZZT, I think the game that completes "Ready Player One" is loosely referencing it.

Edit: Holy cow, I had no idea

OK I'll have to go harder. Jet Set Willy or Reptilion

Not really a particular piece of media, but I saw an artist on twitter that made anime style art but with a Tex Avery twist, it's very strange seeing it but it intrigued me so much.

Warning though some of it is NSFW: https://twitter.com/acrylictoon

This is a kids song that's catchy. 90k views. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-uPsYA35qfQ

Space Siege, it was basically Dungeon Siege but futuristic. I only ever played it from an old PC gamer demo disc.

winnebago man. Not as obscure after they made the movie, but the found film of that era has a few other hits if you go down the rabbit hole

When I was a kid, I remember seeing a trailer on TV for a Captain America movie. The tone of the trailer was dark and gritty, it looked like it was a drama and you don't find out it's even a Captain America movie until they reveal him at the very end.

Spent countless hundreds of hours playing Icicle Works on my Commodore +4 when I was a kid and I've never met anyone who's even heard of it, or remembers the +4 over the 64

The Parking Lot Is Full webcomic.

Necroville (2007) A hilarious B monster movie. Think Clerks meets Ghostbusters.

Zone of the Enders had a touching anime series about a widowed space truck driver whom stumbles upon a sentient orbital frame which he considers his surrogate daughter as he attempts to become a better father and reconnect with his grown kids, amidst an inter-system civil war.

And I'm kinda sure it's cannon.

No, I am not making this up.

When I was a child I saw a stop motion animation called 3 Little Pigs Sing a Gig. It was this rather surreal, felt puppet musical of the aforementioned nursery rhyme.

Back in the 90s maybe into early 2000s, my family managed to acquire a lot of VHS tapes, and some of them were fairly obscure

Two that I remember particularly fondly were 2 animated movies

Epic: Days of the Dinosaur, which was about 2 kids raised by dingos, kind of a weird fantasy movie

And Return to Treasure Island, which was pretty much just a straight-up if somewhat comedic adaptation of Treasure island, which was apparently made the USSR, and the Russian version had live action sequences that didn't appear in the English version I had.

Chromadrome 2. A PC game about simply controlling a small blob-thing speeding down a straight path with holes and other obstacles and keeping it away from them. Sorry of a precursor to mobile games such as subway surfer or whatever they are called. Never met someone who heard about it even though it made it's way onto Steam many years later.

The film Hey, Stop Stabbing Me! is reminiscent of early Parker & Stone or Troma, and the title basically says it all. In spite of its non-existent budget and inexperienced cast, I recall it being competently paced and downright hilarious (on purpose!), including multiple memorable quotes such as "don't be making fun of my hoe-saw," "dude, she's twelve," "comparative literature," and naturally, the titular "hey, stop stabbing me!"

Tank Girl! It's a movie I have loved for so long. Makes me cry with laughter. Got my wife and son to watch it and was promptly banned from picking movies for family viewing for like 4 months. That did not take away my love for the film.
