Jazz covers, ya say? How about Monster Hunter?
If you prefer the songs individually, here's a playlist instead.

Then there's the Consouls, who do fantastic jazz covers of (mostly) video game music, but recently did a bunch of Studio Ghibli jazz covers

I love it when people cover songs in a different music style. The songs change so dramatically! Have you heard the jazz version of Anarchy Rainbow (from Splatoon) for example? it's amazing how the vibe changes!

A reading group you say? i can't say i wouldn't be interested

I *need* to get part 2. And for those who are worried about reading an "unfinished" trilogy, there was an afterword from NK Jemisin and an interview excerpt that implied book 2 still had a satisfying ending to it (Book 1 did not as much x3).

The afterword also almost made me cry--seeing my favorite author talk about the impact of this book on her life.

It was also really cute, the book had a "Reading Group Guide" at the end with a bunch of discussion starting questions :D:D I've never seen this kinda thing before! Young Tinc would have found it really corny. Present Tinc now wants to start a reading group >;3c

That's so lovely!! I love the idea of encouraging people to engage with a work together. Hmm. Maybe as I develop my paintings more and make more complicated pieces I can provide some of these questions myself to get people thinking about art and how it's made and thought about!

Oh hell yeah, I'm playing a bunch of these at work tomorrow!!

so i was scrolling around youtube for mario kart world arrangements since i heard that a lot of the classic songs have been made into jazzy versions, and WOW, we need more jazzy stuff in mario kart and in video games in general because i think there is an untapped market there

i LOVE songs that paint a mental image of a landscape or a situation, so i have a few examples:

fountains of rome is very solid background morning music
jesu, joy of man's desire (or whatever the english translation for it is) is a great royal/highly religious piece, and i think that j.s. bach's works generally speaking are great for religious settings
berlioz's symphonie fantastique has a built in story, and is a tone poem in nature, but i find that the 2nd movement (the ball) is really good for regal dances

The recipe called them corn toasties. You slice them in half and then you can toast them in a toaster!

for dramatic or sad settings, I like to look for classical music. the Moonlight sonata is one of my favorites for a melancholic feeling.


ofcourse classical music can be used for any (human) royal court as well.
