procrastinatio
I’m putting off doing work on my paper so well that I managed to find this damn thing again. And I almost predicted correctly, it took me 7 months to post again. I’m a cool guy with friends. or not.
goodnight…
I shall…
return. Sooner or later this blog will be up and running. Me writing witty and interesting pieces on music, booze, the natural world. You, amazed at my wordsmithing and jealous of my talents and exploits.
Or maybe I’ll just not post anything for another 6 months.
Before I forget, which I surely will:
Check out Order of the Owl, sludge metal from Atlanta. Saw them about a month ago in Allston, MA. Dudes used to be part of Zoroaster. The killed it. The rigs were monstrous. Guitar played through Orange, Green, and Matamp heads and three orange cabinets. Bass played through an Orange and old SUNN solid state and tall ampeg cabinets. My teeth were shaken loose from my gums and it was awesome.
But seriously check them out, I think they are still a little raw but will certainly be rock solid very soon.
So my friend Greg and I listened to this album twice last night. I was skeptical because I had seen the theatrical stage presence of Ghost before and was not impressed. He convinced me to give them a second listen and I’m glad I did.
Ghost is old fashioned metal, campy straight forward satanic lyrics (which are laughable at times) and over-the-top stage presence. Listening to them is like watching a rockin’ 1970s B-horror movie; and its entertaining as hell. Hmm I guess that’s appropriate. HA!
The West Wing L.A.
Being a lonely Ravens fan in the greater Boston area I’ve started to search for others up here in New England. That said I’ve found a few people and am looking for more and was encouraged to see other gangs of Ravens fans across the country - most notably the West Wing L.A. This group started with 10 people three years ago and has grown to more than 300. Each week they take over a bar in Los Angeles and go nuts during Ravens games.
Now, I am trying to launch - New WingLand - in order to have a posse to watch games with while I am away from Baltimore. I’m posting stuff on craigslist and other sites if I can find them get this thing rolling. If anyone knows other folks in the area who want in on this send them my way.
Revocation
I’ve been reading this new blog all about heavy music called, Gun Shy Assassin. It’s solid, covers some duds, but mostly solid music. They posted a preview of the new Revocation album. Listen up, this is impressive.
