Zevon & DuckTales

By Kevin (@Prufesuroak)

For my recommendation this week it’s Warren Zevon’s Excitable Boy and DuckTales: Remastered.

Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon

Warren Zevon never did receive a lot of commercial success through his career, though he is very influential artist and one of the best lyricists in Rock history. But he did strike big with Excitable Boy which was released in 1978. The album brought Zevon to the mainstream and is regarded as his biggest album and contains some of his biggest hits. Songs like “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner”, a ballad about a fictional norwegian mercenary. “Excitable Boy” which chronicles the life of an excitable nervous boy. Excitable Boy is one of the catchiest songs that Zevon has ever written and has a lot of humour in the lyrics, which Zevon is known for. “Werewolves of London” about a time when he say a werewolf in london. This song Zevon’s most known song and one that most everybody has heard of. This album is a great introduction to the whole world of music that Warren Zevon has made.

DuckTales: Remastered is a remaster of the of the original game DuckTales which was first released on NES. The game is simple, you play Scrooge McDuck on a mission to find five treasures. Along the way you must save whoever the hostage is (like Huey, Dewey and Louie) from The Beagle Boys who are also trying to find the hidden treasures. And as with any game each level ends when you defeat the big boss to retrieve the treasure. The remaster also adds some new features and develops the story on the platformer further.
