Since it’s that time of year: Your lack of inclusion in AOTY lists (or as many as you think you should be in) does not invalidate your art, nor lessen the value of your music to those who love it. Same with Wrapped results, and all that other schleck.

My son in the snow (2025)

Lighthouse, hell yeah!! Big fan of winter over here.

I am almost to the end of my bullet journal and I am slightly nervous that I am going to run out of pages before the end of the year but I am also not going to count them because that would make sense

12/12 wrapup with @bloodfirejeff.bsky.social

LISTEN TO ME YAP (if ye dare)

Sam | Rainbow in the Dark@ritd-pride.bsky.social · 8mo ago

non-existent doubters were wrong, I'm back. After a series of little things piling up, I have another episode of Rainbow in the Dark. It's a special one too, I got to speak with @bloodfirejeff.bsky.social from Weald and Woe about one of my favourite albums this year www.mixcloud.com/Medwayprider...

It is a beautiful thing to love where you live. It took 35 years, but here I am.

I’m just a quirked up white boy at the Middle Eastern cafe with a pistachio latte bustin it down heavy metal style. Am I goated with the sauce

I went to the mall. I survived, bitch.

The Heaven Shall Burn cover of ‘Valhalla’ is actually good!!

I made whip cream from scratch tonight, so now that I have my culinary degree please feel free to ask me any burning questions you might have

The sadness cannot reach me when I’m wearing my Blind Guardian sweatpants

Reading a book for a review I’m working on. Book is ~300 pages, and 75 pages in, every chapter is STILL new characters and STILL more new POVs and this is too much. I cannot possibly care bout this many plot lines

Blind Guardian and Ensiferum were SO GOOD. Also, for any bands that think they don’t need a bassist: yes you do

In an effort to get my day back on course, I am going to eat a turkey pot pie for lunch so I can pre-game for tomorrow

Weald + Woe sale is live on Bandcamp for anyone who is a fan of TRUE CASTLE METAL *sword emoji* *castle emoji* wealdandwoe.bandcamp.com

Upside tonight: I am seeing Blind Guardian and my little Tolkien/power metal heart is burstin’

My reward for speaking my joy into the universe last night: NO QUICHE and NO FAVORITE TABLE. I will be excusing myself from the rest of the day.

Because I live in a town where I don't know anyone and I work stupid hours, I like to go to different coffee shops in the morning before work to "get out of the house" and every Wednesday I go to this coffee shop that has a blueberry pie latte and quiche and just lemme say I am excited for tmrw

Been going through a very strange period in the last couple months where I have very little drive to make music. Could just be that I'm a bit burnt out, but normally I can just pick up a guitar and *boom* there's the juice. But even the urge to pick up the guitar is lacking. OH WELL

I have been sleeping on Worm. This Foreverglade album is amazing. I think the art/logo always put me off.

Yep, that new Worm single *whips*

Ok I am going to stop listening to ASMR and listen to Worm, wish me luck

I am once again at the coffee shop, with a mocha and some medieval choral music in my headphones. In my zone, absolutely vibing

I needed that McLaren double disqualification so badly. NEEDED it.

New Ken Burns documentary giving me something to live for

There’s something just so annoying about reading a book that your followers begged you to read, and then getting absolutely punished by them in the comment section for not liking it like they thought you should. Makes for a lot of continued enthusiasm on my part

This is *THE* playlist imo, got my soul vibing in another dimension

this shirt got stolen on tour and I am sad about it every time I do laundry :(
