My mailbox is STILL utterly bereft of contents!!!! I am now expecting a couple of books along with the CD's I mentioned in another post, and I am not sure how much longer I can take the stress!!!! To make things worse, I am going out of town for the weekend, and won't know until Monday if anything arrived!!!

On the plus side, though, I am going to a couple of casinos for the weekend in celebration of me and my wife's 10th anniversary. Gonna blow a ton of money, eat good food, drink good booze. Yesss.... Gonna be pretty fine.

Later, all!

Aaaahhhh, first shipment arrived. Can now breath deep sigh of relief. Got the Bathory Tribute, Burzum - Hlidskjalf, and Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon in the mail today.

Have only listend to the Burzum so far, it is a classic T.G.I.D.S.A.F.D.O.T.P.O.S. cd. That is, “ THANK GOD I DIDN’T SPEND A FUCKING DIME ON THIS PIECE OF SHIT”. Horrifically bad. I had heard that Burzum had released some keyboard only cd’s but had not heard them (to this point, I only owned Det Som Engang Var and Aske) until now. Even though it is purely keyboards (at least the first four songs anyway. I could not play any more of it in a row, it was so bad. I will listen to the rest of it on my way home from work today), I had been hoping that there would be at least some semblance of black metal in there. Unfortunately there is not. It is pure, and utterly useless IMHO, ambiance garbage that sounds like that New Age crap my mom listens to when she is trying to synchronize her biorhythmic output with them funny magnets she wears around her wrists.

The worst thing about when a black metal musician attempts one of these albums is the skill with which it is done. The music is so basic, so simple, that you expect him to peck out Mary Had A Little Lamb in the middle of one of the songs, with one finger. Now, simplicity is key for violent and brutal music, but when the music has no other redeeming value (other than meditating to, as you seek out your inner consciousness) then the simplicity just makes it sound like a kindergartener composed it on their mini-keyboard that their dad got ‘em for X-mas. Uggg. An utter waste of time.
