Oh. My. God.

Thanks, Jared, for finding this dude!

Ah, US cartoons. How often have you betrayed our fandom over the years? Without your crap scripts (full disclosure: I actually helped out on the SF cartoons from the early 90s, sorry) and godawful art, the internet would be a much more barren place, tho. So, I guess we win in the end. Thanks to @amrikdholi on the Capcom Unity Twitter feed for helping me dig up this gem.

Why, yes, I do slap up a lot of music-themed posts, thanks for noticing. But when Joystiq points out that a white Swedish rapper is dropping jams about the Stockholm area code with an acompanying 8-bit video that casts said hippity-hopper as Mega Man? I'll be posting that with great alacrity, even withstanding the sudden influx of 8-bit and Mega Man-themed music as of late. Plus, I like it when Swedish musicians sing in English, as they are technically and grammatically perfect, but there's always something just a bit off with delivery. Word up to your mother, friend!

Gamespot's On The Spot featured not one but TWO awesome Capcom titles last week. First up, Mel and Matt stop by their studios for a live 2 player co-op demo of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles on the Wii at 5:50 into the show. Hey, if they can play that well from big, weird chairs, imagine what an awesome shot you'll be from the comfort of your own game cave. Next up, Shana gives a zippy fly-through of Dark Void from the Tesla event held in the Bay Area. Ooo, "god of the skies," I like that phrase. Thanks for the love, Gamespot!

I'll be honest: I'm not really a reggae guy. I looooove ska, which is ironic, but I find most reggae to be superrepetitive. Dub, however, can be pretty cool, which explains my enjoyment of both The Clash and Gorillaz.

Today, I received this email:

Greetings Kramez!

I stumbled across your post about the Mega Man drumset and I figured you would like to check this out: My band, Destroy Babylon, just released a new single called "Mega Dub Inna Orbit City." The track features Scott Flynn on trombone from reggae greats John Brown's Body.

The chorus' melody is loosey based on Quickman's theme. We would be honored if you would post the track for the CapcomUnity! Please let me know if you would like any additional information on the band/track/etc. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Marc

No problem, Marc! Check out Destroy Babylon's jam right here.
