Listening to an audiobook called “My Heart is a Chainsaw”, by Stephen Graham Jones, narrated by Cara Gee (Camina Drummer from “The Expanse”).
Only a few minutes into it, but it seems like it going to be a wild ride.

Began listening to Assassinorum: Kingmaker, despite my scepticism of modern Black Library books. It's pretty good, with some nicely woven descriptions. Thought it started weak, with a whole bunch of exposition of Imperial Knights and a scene which happens just after a sparring scene between two Knights which could've been a better start, and that could've been shown rather than told earlier. Otherwise, not bad so far.
"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
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?
There isn't much in the W's in my collection, but i will give a nod to whitesnake.
The other band i have albums from is the german metal band WZARD, from the lyrics and image i feel they went to the ManOwaR school of heavy metal.

We have come at last to the end... i started the rotation of my non-Japanese rock and metal bands on jan 31 2021, 1 year and about 4 months later listening to metal about 2 hours a day 6 days a week and we are at the end of the Zs
ZZ top
I used to have a subscription to a Canadian metal mag called "brave words & bloody knuckles" that came out every other month. it had a compilation sampler CD with every issue. many of the bands i added to my collection appeared there. so as i listen through them i will highlight a few that i never found an album for or didn't collect but will still quite good.

Not my favourite song of Bloc Party, but it is most certainly the one that got me into them. I distinctly remember playing video games at a cyber cafe in Wellington way back in 07 where they always had Juice TV playing and it'd come on from time to time. Was pretty...interested...in the video, but I liked the song quite quick. Then got Weekend in the City later. But then on C4 I saw Helicopter from their first album and bam. Love that song a lot and play it plenty of times on Guitar Hero 3.

We had a fun and weird twist during last session of our DnD game and my wizard may or may not have held a rave in his magic mansion apparently it was a real banger.
This threw me back into my old techno collection and I have to say I didn't realize it was as good as it is. But I couldn't find one cd set but found it on youtube.
I got into techno while I was in Kosovo in 01' and a signal soldier in the unit we were replacing hooked me up with a few cd.
My tastes had ben more limited before that and at most I'd been a little into the lords of acid, mostly just a guilty pleasure while playing doom in the mid to late 90's.
Enjoy.

Remember kids, Games Workshop needs you more than you need them.
I hadn't realized audio books would be included in this thread. Dur' - Duh'.
Not long ago I fished all three books in the Three Body Problem, audio book format.
It was a heck of a ride. I wasn't thrilled with the very end but it was definitely an ending.
Over all it felt like a take on a lot of other sci-fi anima I have enjoyed for years. I know it's in the works as a series for maybe Netflix.
Over all I very much enjoyed it.

One from before my time, but as a snivellin’ lirrul Grot (possibly Snot) I was friends with one of the Rollers’ nephews.
And as much as they were kind of a Boyband, this is still a stone cold banger of a tune.
And check this out as the inspiration for a movie about over the hill, fairly clapped out, would really rather not, superheroes coming out of retirement because there’s no-one else can get the job done.
One for the triumphant scene where they overcome personal differences to kick infinite shades of ass out of whatever is menacing the planet.
Especially if one of them was Bill Murraying a much clamoured for reunion.

Josh looks like they are trying to take advantage of the popularity of the HU band. it is interesting, but not as good as the afore mentioned group.
