Shoot the Crow

All is very quiet,and very dark, as if a crow has landed on my head, my breakfast comrads have gone to ground, I hope there will be some contact nearer to the MFR autumn car boot sale.

Roast Beef!

It's been over a year since I had a roast beef dinner and today is the day! I've been invited up to my dear old mam's for a slap up feed of roast beef, roast tatties, carrots and Yorkshire puds with a rich thick gravy. MmmmMMMMmmmm delicious. The soundrack for today is by the mighty Tyr: The Lay of Thrym! Thanks to metal mastermind LostJimmy for alerting me to this excellent heavy metal album!

Return of the Carnivore!!!

For a year I managed to be a vegetarian, many times I was tempted by The Flesh but I always resisted. Now I am officially a meat eating freak once again and I have to say it sure tastes good!

Does this mean I no longer care about animal welfare? Not at all. I have just managed to overcome the horror of thinking that animals have to die just so I can turn them in to shit. It feels good to no longer feel superior to meat eaters. Yesterday I saw a woman who proudly claimed she was a vegetarian and looked on the rest of us as lesser beings. She was right of course but what the fuck, no ones perfect.

Will I be condemned to eternity in hell for murdering meat? Maybe. Naaaahhhhhh...????

Another Boring Year Goes by or bye bye???

I was 49 years old yesterday. I often get told I don't look my age but I certainly feel it. My old bones are tired and creaking and my muscles(such as they are) are aching. At least my brain works...sometimes!

I need to generate cash so I will be putting some of my piles of junk on Ebay and Amazon. I did manage to sell Buffy Season Three today, but at less than a tenner I wont be retiring quite yet.

The reason behind this post? None ;D

I'm Nothing I'm No one...

SLOW HORSE II
This has got to be one of the most depressing albums ever recorded. It's in a doom style and as the band name suggests they are pretty slow, not the slowest but snail like and heavy as fuck. I thought I had their first album but turns out it's Slow Horse II that I own. The first one sounds great, I'm just listening to it on yootoob.

This music is never going to appeal to the average music fan but I love it and will do my best to track down their first album which was released in 1999.THANK YOU ENCYCLOPAEDIA METALLUM: http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

There lyrics are not to my usual taste to be honest. I prefer my DOOM to be about Demons from the foulest pits of HADES!!! These songs are all about what cunts women can be and while I agree to an extent the misogyny on show here is a bit extreme. So you got dumped and treated like shit by a few bitches? Big deal, learn and move on. It does make for some pretty depressing songs though and that is all that really matters. It's ART man ;D

***NB***Not to be mistaken for the really quite good German country band Slow Horses! Your country music loving auntie would not thank you for Slow Horse...or would she???

NWOBHM!!!

If you have no idea what NWOBHM is then this short infomercial wont help much. I'd like to say that it proves not all Metal fans are morons but it doesn't despel that largely true myth!!!

Born too late???

I have been in the depths of Doom this week Doom Metal that is. I find it somehow comforting to listen to very negative and depressing music. Yes it makes me even more depressed but sometimes letting the dark mood take over and deepen is better than all the medication in the world. Last year I pretty much avoided anything depressing but now I welcome it with open arms and seek it out. Whether in books, films or music and preferably all three. Feeling down? Read some Kafka. Watch Nekromantik. Listen to DOOM METAL! Eventually you will laugh at all the darkness and it will dissipate, leaving you cheerful in the certain knowledge that when needed it will still be there!
