Had a short tag team with my wife this weekend (we're helping a surgery recovering father get back to being independent which is hampering me getting stuff done). So last night I decided to just start playing songs from a band I wouldn't mind seeing into a pinball theme someday. This isn't the first time, last few times I tried to spitball ideas it just sort of fizzled out but this time it just worked. In fact the more looked at the lyrics and watched the videos more ideas just popped into my head. What band is it?... Genesis. Yea, wrap your mind around that one. Besides being an iconic 80s band, many forget just how much influence Phil Collins had to do with the sound. If you haven't seen it, watch this Vox video from a few years back:
How does that turn into a pinball layout? Easier than you might think (and re-using several of the targets and bash toy for nearly every song). Not going to put in any actual work at this point, but going to throw all my notes into a folder for a someday.
