While we're on the topic, I recently learned they originally recruited Noora based on seeing a YouTube video of her from 2011. It sounds like Marina had a similar start in music, so that shows the magic of the internet these days. Apparently this was the video. Sadly it seems Klasu (Klaus...

Major/international shows seen since my last list. Big haul of Australian bands included. Not even mentioning I saw some other good bands while I was in Melbourne including Skezm and VVARP. Now I've synced my posts up to the end of the year, so it'll take a lot of luck to make my 2026 list as...

While I love some Battle Beast, it seemed as if they were either getting stale or just playing the mainstream/arena anthem-type metal that I didn't really care for. Unholy Savior seemed like an innovative album that mixed pop influences into metal really well. I hope they have someone new who...

Trying to blend in with the locals at Howells Point while visiting the deep south. I hadn't been as far south as Invercargill etc. (below the 46° S latitude) in nearly 28 years.

I rewatched some Spielberg and Gilliam as my numbers were a bit hazy and I wasn't sure what I'd paid full attention to growing up. Now I've just watched Mary today as I'm (re)watching most of Hitch🍆's stuff in chronological order. I don't think there's any compelling threats that'll alter this...

Blonde Death and Brand Upon the Brain look intriguing. I might take a chance on the other two as well and see whether the recipe is working or just being desecrated.

An attempt at a recipe for brewing your own Mount Rushmore of Bloopy movie taste: Name your definitive movie for each of the 4 categories below. With the requirement that the most dominant genre of each film is not a comedy genre. That's very subjective: comedy can still be primary if you think...

Self-explanatory, I would think

Ah, I was able to see my Yahoo account was created 13th Jun 1998, but they don't really have any social features any more. That got me curious, so I asked Microsoft if they could tell me when my Hotmail account was created. They could only tell me 29 years ago, so probably sometime in 1996...

I like I Don't Care as I dig that whiny, immature side of Dave. Songs such as 1000 Times Goodbye, Wrecker, I'll Get Even, Look Who's Talking. I can hear why some don't, but to me it's just fun entertainment that stands out as something different. Nobody's forcing anyone to take it seriously...

I got carried away with seeing some very old movies lately. I watched all of Alfred Hitchcock's surviving silent feature films and had a better time than expected. I'd only seen The Lodger and Downhill before and stopped, as the latter is terribly dreary with support characters amounting to...

I still have access to accounts I registered on ItsYourTurn (9th Jun 1999) and Newgrounds (10th Nov 2001). I doubt I can find any others as old as those. I also remember the days when people would create club sites on Geocities, Angelfire or Tripod etc. and you'd email or fill in a web form and...

Top 5 songs on Metallica - Load. Some gold to be found... 1. The Outlaw Torn 2. Hero of the Day 3. The House That Jack Built 4. Bleeding Me 5. Ain't My Bitch

I scored a free ticket to Tool last night and it was decent. They're playing interesting setlists on this tour. They're a band I certainly wouldn't pay arena prices to see, so that worked out well. I'd seen them at a festival in 2011 but didn't quite stick around for the full set.
