Alright, that's it. Y'all thought I was fucking around when I said I was a nerd. NOPE. And it's time to separate the nerds from the boys. So here it is: the nerdiest thing I have ever posted on here. A new age concept album about the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Each Wonder is given a brief spoken introduction, then an extended, synth-saturated, noodle-packed instrumental that somehow is supposed to represent said Wonder. Written and performed by a man who enjoys wearing white capes. May God have mercy on our souls.

Rick Wakeman might have enjoyed wearing white capes, but he was also Ozzy Osbourne's drinking buddy, which counts for something.
ReplyDeleteGoddamn, that counts for a lot. Did not know that.
