it's usually not my go-to style for metal, but damned if Power Trip's _Nightmare Logic_ isn't one of this year's best in any category. They were awesome last night... got a t shirt, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOWf8uqGf8A

i'm three weeks late on this but hopefully you are feeling good. i had mine done this summer.

yeah the dropoff from Furr to Destroyer of the Void was massive. never found my way back to that band.

cannibal corpse, power trip, and gatecreeper

check it.. distributed titles, too.... the 8LP Giant Sand box set for $54? yes please. tons of great things to pick through: https://lightintheattic.net/shelves/Fall%20Winter%20Sale

Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun

i didn't love the new QOTSA nearly as much as I hoped i would. i really thought Like Clockwork was brilliant. this one, not so much. I am not as big a fan of the new Oh Sees lineup as the previous one, but this record is quite good. he was great on Maron's podcast too.

never pissed or dumped there, but that airport design is a goddamned mess. no 'gates' so to speak of, just random places to congregate to grab a bus that takes you to your flight. when we left, the airport was totally jammed, and there were two flights (boston, toronto) using the same area that were leaving at the same time. people were all confused.

I thought Psychedelic Pill and Le Noise were pretty good

looking through my 2017 purchases and not counting live records or reissues, these stuck with me: Elder - Relfections of a Floating World Grails - Hymnal Chalice (those are the top two - here are 8 others) Mountain Movers - S/T Sundays & Cybele - Chaos and Systems Dire Wolves - Excursion To Cloudland Samsara Blues Experiment - One With The Universe Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever - The French Press Wear Your Wounds - WYW Slowdive - Slowdive The Oh Sees - Orc honorable mention to Kevin Morby, Courtney and Kurt, Crystal Fairy, Mark Eitzel, Shadow Band, The Obsessed. this year wa

where do you personally draw the line for any supposed transgressions? is it all totally a zero tolerance policy just for politicians (or even before they ran for office), or for any job? don't mistake me for condoning any such behavior as normal. but people are not robots and do have flaws. is the one strike and you're out (not talking about rape or other sexual assault, more like via an unwanted kiss or hand on the butt) grounds for permanent gulag? get a fucking grip, man.

so many it done fucked up your grammar!

and Mikal Cronin!! his first two records are essential.

Salad Boys and Doug Tuttle, too.

maybe sometimes, the woman grabs and kisses the man. sorry, i don't think that a fairly ambiguous situation like Franken's is the place for zero tolerance, unlike the Weinsteins/Seagals/Allens/Cosbys/CKs of the world.

i think you have unreasonable expectations.

the voters of MN should decide his fate. the first accusation certainly has more than a whiff of political motivation, given her appearances on Hannity and the like. the rehearsed kiss? who really knows what happened there. the photo just seems sophomoric rather than actual groping. i mean, would you feel up a sleeping woman in front of a guy w/ a camera and others around? we'll see what the latest accusation turns up. if we are going all-in on a policy of zero tolerance regardless of when it happened, then we might as well get ready for a giant turnover in our government positions.

The Ups. Noise band featuring Fuck as the singer, Screw as the drummer, and Cock as the other drummer.

Thingvellir is the park. i went two summers ago. only got as far out from reykjavik as Gulfoss. wanna get back and go out further.

goddamn were Hot Snakes a blast. incredible band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNVy4CcByiM
