Some Sneak Peeks and a Mid-week Update

This song is awesome! Tex, please make a video about Van Zandt one day.

In reply: Tex, two questions this week. Tacos or Burritos? Answer: YES And which is stronger: a marine or a stick? Answer: YES

Tex, two questions this week. Tacos or Burritos And which is stronger: a marine or a stick? As always have a fantastic weekend!

Hey Tex, saw Eldonius' art of the wedding of Professor Checkers and Clanner Waifu (does she have a name?) and love it to bits. Is there a place where I can find more of those two or their story (either before / during or after the relationship)? Please give Eldonius all the props for that, turned out very damn cute. Here's hoping they rode into battle a couple times as a couple (swap the DireWolf for an Awesome 8Q). https://static.mwomercs.com/packages/warden/img/dire-wolf-bolt-on-idea.jpg Side note: Until you confirm otherwise I'm just going to assume that Tex and her fell in love when she cut into his cockpit. XD

I hear this was first heard on the BPL Podcast?

Why don't feel that this song needs a Kazoo in the background during the guitar solo? XD

You went and made them sound like Taurians :p

Hey Tex these songs remind me of a little group called Dos Gringos. They're a pair of F-16 adversary pilots that flew out of Nellis AFB and made ridiculously catchy folk songs in their spare time. They use a ton of aviation terminology so some listeners may get stuck but they are a hoot to listen to. Their entire catalog is on the youtubes if interested.

With this song I can see why the system would get scrubbed from the charts. No conquering power wants to deal with a completely hostile population that fully values kicking your ass off their land, more then their own life or the lives of their family and friends.

One of my favorite reborn sea shanties redone again superbly for battletech.

If anyone wants the lyrics, here's the best I could figure Oh I bid farewell to my beautiful land And as mustered and ordered before you I stand To march off to war and to die if I must And to fight like a bastard in this you must trust As the years pass along you will see what its worth Ferry bodies and moving to another Earth I fear not the low pay or what happens to me Just as long as my Van Zandt is finally free Just as long as old Van Zandt will remember me Set a course to our neighbors or anywhere new To a place where I can stand alongside the few Of the bravest we have though we are not the best Our wager will pass our most ultimate test As the mayhem will follow what we do today For all of our orders are morally grey I fear not the low pay or what happens to me As long as my Van Zandt is finally free For as long as old Van Zandt will remember me When we run out of ammo and finally fall And no more are left to hear that last bugle call They'll replace us with whatever they have left on hand And again we'll rise up to defend our land Though the Van Zandt militia is always at war Though we never quite know what we are fighting for I fear not the low pay or what happens to me As long as my Van Zandt is finally free For as long as old Van Zandt will remember me To join our brave cause is to offer your life And surely surrender to permanent strife But if you hear the call and are willing to sign You will find that you place your life down on that line Surrender is never a tactic we use For our cockpits are lacking an ejection fuse I fear not the low pay or what happens to me As long as my Van Zandt is finally free Just as long as my homeland will remember me

Yet another amazing collaboration between Tex and Goat. But as always, take your sweet time making it what you want. I've never been one to argue for faster release of a video.

Love these songs, how do we send Goat monies?

This is a super nice tune. Well done! Definitely want more!

Daniel Cadwell

This is a final version of that.

THE BLACK PANTS LEGION

I'll write more then.

THE BLACK PANTS LEGION

This is so good! Have I heard a version of this already? Like Goat did a cover of this somewhere?

AlecRazec

Won't lie, getting addicted to some of these folk-style Battletech songs. Makes me wish there were more in the universe.

Y'know, joining up with a morally dubious, but ultimately just, militia group to go out into the middle of wherever-the-fuck, nowhere to be able to do what I want sounds pretty good about now.
