When this album came out, I HATED it. BUT as time went by, I calmed down that it was barely even metal, much less black metal, and bought the vinyl as a completist. Eventually, I realized that i really loved it. So there is my confession. It's great #metalsky deafheavens.bandcamp.com/album/infini...

Infinite Granite, by Deafheaven

9 track album

I now want to hear a cover of the entire album. I never knew Slayer was this beautiful and I say this as a person who knows this Slayer album very well. Amazing. It's like Cowboy Junkies or Hope Sandoval covering Slayer.

Not saying these would be my answers now, but fav albums when I was 20 that came out when I was 20. That was weird year. No albums from my favorite bands at the time, like Metallica, Screaming Trees, Smashing Pumpkins, Fugazi. Slayer and Megadeth were in decline as was Metallica on their next album.

I wrote this Word Add-in like 8+ years ago. Our app calls it with command line switches, it loads a serialized dataset, a .dotx template, replaces tags in the doc with values from the dataset and when it closes, saves with the name of a GUID passed in. The app monitors for process to close /1

If you eat super dense calorie food, like say it was 1000 calories but only physically weighed like .25 lbs and you ate 4 of these a day, you would gain weight. But what turns those calories into lbs? How do calories turn into more weight than the physical weight of the food? 1/2

Tillis and Cornyn have caved to Trump’s $100 million IRS immunity, but that’s just one reason to reject him as AG. Here are many more:

Blanche should be blocked for IRS/slush fund AND - targeting Comey, James, Hearn, Powell, Walz, Frey, MOCs - Epstein - payouts to Flynn, Page, Babbitt, Vaughn - rejecting ethics advice to recuse from Trump cases - “war” on judiciary - “cleaning house” of DOJ personnel who worked on Trump cases

My dream is that Trump exits the conversation without actually issuing pardons and his whole cabinet goes to prison.

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy benefited from millions in corporate donations to make a show about road trips. But two months after Duffy said the show would premiere, it doesn't appear to exist at all. My latest False Flag @thebulwark.com: www.thebulwark.com/p/what-the-h...

This is a man who has obviously never been to a red city. Not sure I have either. But I have been to red towns and ooohh boy. I don't think he'd like them either. He thinks the cities are shit, he should see where a lot of his true fans live. They are some real shit holes.

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

The new Halo is a lot of fun, even though it's just the first Halo completely re-done, but the modern graphics make it feel new, in a way the modern skin they added last time didn't. Almost at the Swarm, which will really make it or break it. Hopefully easier to see this time.

Wrexham vs. Sunderland in Philly in the sun packed in like sardines.

Going to see Wrexham play Sunderland tomorrow. That should be fun.

My wife has gone crazy. How in the hell are the two of us gonna eat this?

Watching Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. Gonna be interesting watching the whole bloody affair in one sitting.

Really digging this Dutch black metal. It has a sort of punkier feel, like Devil Master, but it is totally Dutch. #metalsky doodswensband.bandcamp.com/album/doodsw...

Found this in my FB memories. So good.

This year, I finally kept myself under the 1 record a week maximum goal I have had for years. So far. I think I can do it. Because if I don't, I need to start divesting in some of my records. This year...so far.

I don't really want to go to Fire in the Mountains. I hate camping and it looks like a giant pain in the ass. BUT...I would have loved to see this. If I could have Lebron Jamesed in a helicopter like he will do for 76ers, just for the show and then flew home, I would do it. youtu.be/eYpQmKT2b1g?...

After playing golf yesterday and being incredibly sore, I rode bike for 41 miles today. The combination of a sore back from swinging a golf club and then hunched over a bike has left me making grunting sounds every time I move. I'm sure it is driving my wife crazy, but she hasn't complained...yet 🫰

My friend Dane's band Reekmind put out a killer little EP. No Cure was great and better than Fuming Mouth, which was good and better than their previous album. If you like techdeath, Sallow Moth will be very enjoyable. Walg and Void of Light were also very good. Some old favorites too. #metalsky

My new realization is that maybe the reason old people golf all the time because if they stopped, one game of golf would paralyze them for a week, they would be so stiff. They just have to keep golfing to keep the muscles limber.

If I had no memory of what went on yesterday and you asked me if I played golf or was mugged by someone wielding a pipe, I would initially guess I was mugged. The lack of bruising is the only that would have given it away that I played golf.

This Legends show on Netflix is pretty awesome so far. It kind of reminds me of Slow Horses in a way. It doesn't have Gary Oldman character, but it is quite good. Totally recommended so far.

My day. As much as golf annoys me, it is a lot of fun. If I could cut out my shitty shots, I would be good.

Watching Legends on Prime and I'm loving the music choices. Stone Roses, Jesus and Mary Chain and then a song that sounded familiar and I said....is this Happy Mondays and it sure was. I haven't heard that song since I was in high school and I guessed it in 10 seconds. The brain still works.

Going golfing tomorrow with @purgatorymetal.bsky.social and I got some new golf balls. My wife said, you better not lose any. I said, babe, I'll lose most of them.

Just signed up for 100 mile bike ride in 18 days. Should get my bike serviced, because I can't get myself serviced and we both need it.

Who would have guessed that a truck that looked like that, would be the biggest flop in history?

I asked my wife if she was interested. She said no. I bought a ticket for the first day so that when I tell her how awesome it was, I can harangue her to go to the second day.
