The Church of the Ecstatic presents:
ROUND 3, START!
Playing all music referenced in one way or another (usually in character names) in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. This time, we tackle Stardust Crusaders (part TWO – after the gang makes it to Egypt) My only rule is that I must play music made before the references were made – so tonight, it’s all from pre-1990.
I try to make them thematically relevant to their characters, where possible, which is a fun challenge.
Each reference is listed under the song titles, if you like the series but can’t remember all these characters (I don’t blame you!)
