No my mild OCD forces me to put them in alphabetical order by band and by release date(it is also the order i listen through the collection as well),.... and they are further broken down by section as my original post. all my anime soundtracks are cased together etc...

well, at least that's tidy. I never quite get that precise when sorting anything.
Besides, I own only one cd by myself (the rest belonged to my father), that is the album chapter from a vale forlorn by Falconer!

Re-listening to Ravenor Returned after having listened to Ravenor. While I don't like the Ravenor Trilogy as much as the Eisenhorn one. I do enjoy the books, I have problems with the 3rd one, but that's due to some personal biases than much else. I really like how the books give more character development to Harlon Nayl and Kara Swole, both characters I like immensely. I don't think it's a coincidence my two favourite characters in the Ravenor trilogy were originally from the Eisenhorn trilogy, lol.

My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
Instead of re-listening to Ravenor Rogue I decided to re-listen to my favourite Gaunt's Ghosts novel Traitor General instead. I'm almost finished (I don't want it to end, lol) But I listened repeatedly to chapter 20 which plays out one of my favourite action sequences in perhaps all of fiction...
Spoiler:
Gaunt, Rawne and the others vs the Chaos Marines. What a great scene of underdog badassery. I can tell Toby Longworth is into it as his narration gets intense and has to be the best I've ever heard him narrate.

Because of me listneing to phonk prior spotify flooded me with Saliva grey's dark trap and I actually came to like it. My music tastes deteriorate a hypersonic speed lol.

Right now, I'm really into Larkin Poe and Charley Crockett

Finished listening to Ghostmaker and now onto Necropolis. I took the liberty of listening to the Vincula Insurgency after the Voltimand short story of Ghostmaker as the novella is set after it.
It's a little confusing as when the short story ends the Ghosts are back on a ship and it's heavily implied it's almost soon after the victory of Voltis Gate. Also, Corbec only then just managing to find the soaked and destroyed licorice cigars in his jacket then when he had nine weeks to find it?
Also, a crap ton of continuity errors, Baffels is a sergeant in in when he wasn't promoted until the Vervunhive war. I also thought Milo was already Gaunt's adjutant? That's the danger of writing a prequel, I suppose.
Anyway, aside from that stuff, I really enjoyed the Vincula Insurgency and all the audiobooks.

We have ways of making you talk podcast. It’s like listening to two drunk guys in the pub, but with better provenance of their information.
Al Murray is quite engaging, and is very much not in his Pub Landlord persona. The historian guy is slightly annoying and wears his biases on his sleeve, it lots of interesting snippets and stories about WW2 that are not usually talked about.
Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
I finished re-listening to Necropolis and I really understand why it's so many peoples' favourite novel in the series, it is very damned good. As I've mentioned too often now Traitor General is my favourite Gaunt's Ghosts book if not my overall favourite 40k book, but Necropolis is up there too. Now I'm listening to Honour Guard and just finished the Battle for Bhavnager and it has to be one of the best larger scale battle scenes in the series, the way the tank fight is described is so immersive and awesome.
I also wish we got more drunk Gaunt, I just enjoyed the scene with him like that quite fun. It's like I wished there was more of the military tribunal in His Last Command as I was enjoying that stuff a lot before we were whisked away back to the front lines.

Almost finished listening to The Guns of Tanith audiobook. It and Straight Silver are books in the series I have yet to review for my "Reviewing the Gaunt's Ghosts Books" thread so I might type up a review of it soon.

Due to rolling up my last Five Parsecs from Home Encounter and got a Secret Agent as the enemy teams' Unique Individual which reminded me of this classic song which I remember first hearing watching Austin Powers as a kid years back. The guitar riff at the beginning is pretty awesome. In the encounter I made the Secret Agent a woman instead of a man and she got shot off the board by one of my Crew Mates with a Hunting Rifle in the first round, though. So she didn't even begin to live up to being as awesome as this song made them out to be, maybe she was like this before having her head blown off in such an anti-climatic way, lol.

Many, many years ago, we had Al Murray perform at a GW managers meeting in Lenton. I know it's comedy, but I found him borderline racist and really didn't find him engaging or funny at all.
Automatically Appended Next Post: I'm currently listening to the 'Dungeon Crawler Carl' series in Audible. These are so much fun!
The apocalypse will be televised!
A man. His ex-girlfriend's cat. A sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible.
In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth—from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds—collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground.
The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.
Only a few dare venture inside. But once you're in, you can't get out. And what's worse, each level has a time limit. You have but days to find a staircase to the next level down, or it's game over. In this game, it's not about your strength or your dexterity. It's about your followers, your views. Your clout. It's about building an audience and killing those goblins with style.
You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big.
You gotta fight with vigor, with excitement. You gotta make them stand up and cheer. And if you do have that "it" factor, you may just find yourself with a following. That's the only way to truly survive in this game—with the help of the loot boxes dropped upon you by the generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.
They call it Dungeon Crawler World. But for Carl, it's anything but a game.

@gtahamdbailey - Al Murray’s Pub Landlord persona is intended to be extremely jingoistic and massively racist, and that where the satire comes from. Al Murray himself is Definately not.
