1. Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revival)

I see a bad moon a-rising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today

2. John the Revelator (Depeche Mode)

John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies

3. Armagideon Time (The Clash)

A lot of people runnin' and a-hidin' tonight
A lot of people won't get no justice tonight

4. Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)

I'm waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and sweat my rust
I'm breathing in the chemicals

5. Hammer to Fall (Queen)

Here we stand or here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

6. Losing My Religion (R.E.M.)

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion

7. Long, Long Way From Home (Foreigner)

I was inside looking outside
The millions of faces
But still I'm alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance
I was longing for home

8. Mister Jung Stuffed (Man Man)

Been locked down way too long
I've been locked down way too long
Take me in your boat
to those fiery shores
I don't want to love
anymore

So wake up sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are
Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talkin' falsely now
The hour's getting late

13. I Was in the House Burned Down (Warren Zevon)

I had the shit til it all got smoked
I kept the promise til the vow got broke
I had to drink from the lovin' cup
I stood on the banks til the river rose up
I saw the bride in her wedding gown
I was in the house when the house burned down

14. Love Alive (Heart)

The sky was dark this morning
When I raised my head
Stood at the window
Darkness was my bane

15. Back in Black (AC/DC)

I've been lookin' at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and runnin' wild

16. Burn Somethin' (Idris Goodwin)

What you gonna to do with yourself
Learn somethin' burn somethin' earn somethin'
Put a notch in your belt
I said what you gonna to do for your peeps
Make somethin' break somethin' take somethin'
Cold fill it with heat

You were not alone
Dear loneliness
You forgot
But I remember this
Oh stranger, stranger,
Stranger things have happened, I know

So I tell you, I tell you
I tell you we must send away
We must try to find a
New answer instead of a way

19. Saving Grace (Tom Petty)

And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway
Don't you baby

You keep running for another place
To find that saving grace

How to make a simple medieval hood from cloth napkins

Image
All right, so to exercise my rudimentary sewing skills I have challenged myself to make a medieval hood. Before committing myself to making a more complicated design with my better fabrics, I decided to play around with basics with some fabric that won't matter if it goes all to hell. So I experimented with some old cloth napkins and it worked out pretty well. Obviously the rougher design is not all that useful for cosplaying as nobility, but could easily work for a basic outlaw, forester, or Robin Hood type costume. Forgive the stare of death, I needed a dramatic photo... Materials -4 decorative table napkins -Antler or other medieval-type button Tools -Scissors -Needle/thread -Superglue -Measuring tape 1. Gather the materials The materials list is pretty simple. The key part here is finding a set of four cloth napkins that have a believably medieval look to them. Given the roughshod approach, this is a hood better suited to a lower-status medieval person, so

How to make rebel pilot leg flares

Image
Another basic part of the Iden Versio costume or any other rebel pilot are the leg flares and flare holder. It's the gray/olive band holding 8 silver "flares" on the left leg of Rebellion pilots in New Hope , Empire Strikes Back , and Return of the Jedi . There's a great tutorial using olive nylon webbing by Gil Guemes aka JediXXL at Rebel Legion , but since I couldn't find suitable webbing I adapted this for using basic fabric instead. Inspiration Materials -Olive green heavy fabric -3/4 inch diameter wooden dowel -Silver spray paint -Clear coat spray enamel -Snaps (or Velcro) Tools -Hacksaw -Sandpaper -Needle/thread -Snap tool 1. Gather the materials First I had to locate just the right fabric. The original Gil Guemes tutorial recommended using olive green 2-inch wide nylon webbing at the basis for the flare holder. Unfortunately I could find none in local craft or hardware stores. Instead I roamed a fabric store looking for ju

How to make a Jedi's utility belt

Image
Whether bringing peace and understanding to the citizens of the galaxy or fighting the menace of the Sith, a Jedi needs to be prepared. And while a calm mind and a trust in the Force are the best tools a Jedi has, it never hurts to carry a few more material assets. Thus an indispensable part of a Jedi's gear is his or her utility belt. In times of the Old Republic the belt was a little more standardized, perfectly in keeping with the traditional tunics, tabards, and obi reminiscent of Earth's samurai. To make this work you can use tutorials making them from foam, fake leather, or up the ante and make it from real leather. This tutorial tries for a middle road using thrift store leather belts and buckles with simple crafting using screw posts and superglue. Compare that to my cheap but less-than-authentic Mark I belt I made from fake leather vinyl folded over on itself. Serviceable (it looks somewhat better when worn) but not ideal. Still, the things I learned in that fi
