Working my way through DEATHs catalog at the moment. Started with The Sound of Perseverance, almost done with Human, next on to Individual Thought Pattern

I know what you will be listening to...

Fictional 'G.I Joe: A Real American Hero' Metal Band Cold Slither Are ...

https://www.theprp.com/2025/03/18/news/fictional-g-i-joe-a-real-american-hero-metal-band-cold-slither-are-set-to-release-an-actual-album/

One of my favourites. Just a beautiful song, and put to so much good use in Geek Media.

I'm stupid for listening to this on repeat as I've been "stuck" on a girl for years now, which is dumb, so I'm being stupid, lol

One of those days. So it’s the John Williams’ Superman theme.

Not because I consider myself a superman. But because of that bit where the main refrain is repeated, ever more stringent, not once, not twice, but thrice.

If even Superman has to dig deep to double and then triple his efforts on a bad day? Why shouldn’t I?

Just got in Arch Enemy's new album-blood dynasty

Been on a Rammstein kick lately. Der Meister kicks so much arse.

Clem Burke of Blondie has passed away at 70.

So here’s him going HAM on Dreaming.

We've inherited a lot of vinyl records over the years from various family members, and it struck me when I was rearranging the lounge room yesterday that there is a bit of stuff in there that I haven't got around to listening to, and in some cases have no idea what it's even like. So I'm taking advantage of having the house to myself for the weekend to start working through the collection from A to Z...

Currently listening to the Alan Parsons Project 'Pyramid' LP.

There will always be time in my day and my life for a bit of Pulp.

My dad recently got a whole swath of his old records and cassettes out of the roof where they'd been stashed for some years. We found some absolute ripper albums we'd all forgotten about. Lots of Australian rock/punk bands for the 70's/80's. It was really quite heartwarming to see my dad getting so excited about stuff he hadn't heard in probably close on two decades.
I have lots of very fond memories of listening to the Muppets and Monty Python records when I was a kid. I was even allowed to take one in to school for show-and-tell one day. It's amazed me even then that in the middish '90s so few kids knew what a record was.



I've been listening to Gyroscope. A fething awesome band from Perth. They were a band that I had heard a few of their songs over the years and never clicked with me. It wasn't until I heard them live for the first time about 3 years ago that I realised what I'd been missing.

I had some fun a few months ago reminiscing with a couple of old high school friends when I dug out a couple of cassettes that were more or less the soundtrack of our senior years (Crowded House and INXS, for anyone wondering). I have a crateload of old cassettes to sort through at some point - most are copies, and I'm not expecting them to have weathered the passing of 30-ish years particularly well - but the tape deck is currently out of action.


On the record front, I've reached the 'C's... and just discovered JJ Cale's 'Naturally' LP, which I had somehow never listened to before. The influence on Dire Straits is unmistakable. This one will go on high rotation, I think.

Was introduced to this from a Sseth Tzeentach video (can't remember which one, could've been his his Kenshi review, maybe?) Anyway, it's so delightfully cheesy, especially the monolog about the "monsters out there". Love it, lol.

Two awesome anime songs back-to-back, from Gundam Wing...

Think I’ve shared this before.

But this was a track played at my Dad’s funeral. And frankly it’s a banger with a solid message.

There’s nowt wrong with planning for the futures. In fact there’s a lot to be said for it. But never, ever, ever forget to live in the moment.

@SamusDrake
While i am not a fan of gundam "petty boys".... er i mean wing.. i do have a collection of TWO MIXs albums

Went to Kroger today to pick up some groceries and this was playing in the store...

My mother chatted to the man himself today, so I thought I'd refresh my memory of who she was talking about...

The Wedding Present

May have shared this before. A grossly underrated and underknown band, who were active just before the Britpop boom of my yoof. And outside of Pulp, they knock all those bands into a cocked hat and no mistake.




Vitriolic lyric delivery, driving beat, solid bass line, very jangly guitars.

Absolutely wonderful stuff.

Just found this and couldn`t stop groovin whilst putting together my Wartrike...

This Is Not A Political Post.

Almost certainly shared this before.

But not only do I associate with the lyrics and sentiment, but with Tim Cappello.

My tits are about right, even if the belly and skin tone are way on the wonk. Not to mention complete lack of musical talent.

But like, a few out of some ain’t bad.

Probably.

I've been pretty bummed out lately... but here's a good parody of all of our Warhammer stuff that made me smile.

Well after raiding the "family music collection" at my parents place the other week I came away with quite the excellent musical haul that I'd missed on previous excursions. Of particular note was a few excellent old English punk bands I'd been missing, which have now all gone on high rotation.
The highlights of which were The Vibrators Pure Mania, Angelic Upstarts We Gotta Get Outta This Place, Heavy Metal Kids self titled albums.

When clearing out Dad’s place, came across my Nevermind the Bullocks and Ace of Spades albums.

Also bagged Dad’s vinyl, not for retail, copy of the original Battlestar Galactica. Which seems to go for a few quid!

New album drop from the swiss folk metal band Eluveitie

Nice find! Both great albums.

Well, that's a bit different to other folk metal bands I listen to (Finntroll, Korpiklaani, etc.), and a bit more (not sure of the right word) harmonic, operatic or something, then I normally go in for, but I rather enjoyed it none-the-less. The female singer has quite a powerful voice.



Been listening to this absolute classic this morning. Woke up and knew it was how I needed to start my day. Had it playing before the kettle had finished boiling.

The female singer has quite a powerful voice.

Try this one-




They mix female operatics with male harsh vocals. some songs focus on one or the other and some songs mix the two together.

March of Fools by Elvenking.

Eluviete are great. Ategnatos is one of my favourite albums. Some perfect musical moments and transitions in there. That eagle scream transition always gives me goosebumps
