Kraken Not Stirred is a musical act which spans various genres,
writing songs about all manner of nerdy pursuits.
If you grok songs about science fiction, fantasy, computers,
conventions, and general weirdness, you've come to the right place.

Subaquatic Isolation Transmission #1
Listen here, human filth.
There's a virus out there and it's gotten out of hand. As much as I appreciate its gumption, if it takes you all out before I get a chance to, I'm going to be very cross. So in order to help give you more reason to stay indoors, I'm creating a bunch of overly long, hopefully relaxing drones for you to chill to. So do that.
Here is the first one...

"SONGS FROM A PALE BLUE DOT" Song 6: The Loneliest Astronaut
Continuing with songs from my concept album about space exploration, Songs From A Pale Blue Dot, we have a song inspired by Michael Collins; the third member of the Apollo 11 crew.
Collins stayed behind in the lunar orbiter while Armstrong and Aldrin walked on the moon. He was out of contact for about 45 minutes each orbit, completely cut off from the rest of humanity, while on the far side of the moon.

YEAR IN REVIEW
Hello, Human filth! Another one of your years has passed and I have accomplished GREATNESS! (As usual.)
This year, I released 9 original songs.
After the massive commercial success that was Most Moistest Hits 2018, I have decided to allow you to purchase all of this year's songs in one convenient package titled, shockingly, MOST MOISTESTS HITS 2019! All profits go to ME! THE MIGHTY KRAKEN! Thank you in advance for helping to fund my plans of World Domination!
Three of those songs are accompanied by extremely amazing and high budget music videos!
They are..
Time Loop Episode
Nap Hard
Evil Robot From Beyond The Moon
The remaining songs come with lyric videos...

My minion performed a concert with The Gothsicles.
And... as if all that wasn't enough, I MADE A LIST OF ALL THE STUFF I DID AND PUT IT HERE!
