So I've just been in and updated my post from New Year's Eve. It's very long, and I mean that, it's really very long. This possibly tells me I should try and post more often so that it doesn't end up as quite such an epic thing by the end of the year ( Read more... )

Yes, you’re getting 2 for the price of 1 today, I’m feeling in a typy mood and am avoiding housework while enjoying YouTube playing in the background. Arch Enemy came as a surprise to me. Since they have a female lead singer I’d never really bothered to listen to any of their stuff. It’s not that I dislike female lead singers, but it has to be said ( Read more... )

I realise I’ve been very bad at keeping up with this, ok that’s a massive understatement, I’ve been terrible. It annoys intensely that work has got my mind so tired most of the time I have no mental energy left to even write up a simple blog post, so I am going to try and be better about just making the effort. Can’t say how well it will work ( Read more... )

This is a great song, from a great album, from one of my new favourite bands, Avatar. Bethran had identified them as a potential band to see at Download following his extensive Youtube research once the line up was announced. Unfortunately we ended up missing. They were playing the first slot on the main stage on Saturday, I don't remember that we ( Read more... )

Ok, so I know that my second to last post on music was Ghost songs too, but they really are such a good band and they've just released a new EP Popestar. (I say just, it was about 3 weeks ago now, but year end got in the way of everything else apart from work and listening to the EP on repeat despite it being only 20 or so mins long).

The current state of affairs is too depressing to comment on*, so I distracted myself by backing The Oatmeal's latest Kickstarter. I loved Exploding Kittens and I do generally love The Oatmeal cartoons and his merchandise. I have a Blerch t-shirt and socks which I wear to the gym and have the Blerch 'More snacks' magnet on the fridge and a Blerch ( Read more... )

Things beginning with "B" - a meme from several people including The_Marquis, Rustica and wellinghall.

This is a more difficult entry to write as Dead Soul aren't a very widely known band and therefore there is actually very little on Youtube for them. I first saw them supporting Ghost in December and was so instantly blown away by them I immediately bought both their albums. Of the two, I prefer the second one, but that's not to say the first one ( Read more... )
