Thou Shalt Never irritate a woman...

Thou Shalt Never irritate a woman, who can operate a backhoe...

Thus endeth the lesson. 

 Women are Angels...and when someone breaks their wings...

they simply continue to fly....on a broomstick...They are flexible like that...

Born of Hope and The Hunt for Gollum.

As a LOTR and Tolkien fan I think "Born of Hope" and "The Hunt for Gollum" are great fun. I just wish I had seen them before. I guess that's what happen when you spend too much time under rocks. Both films are from 2009 so that I've missed them are so not cool. Still, they are

Epic

and they are free to watch online. Can't get much better than free ... just sayin'... 

Yeah, I hate Christmas and all that...

But I still think it's a good time to crawl out from under my rock and show some proof of live. My new doctor, good as she is, is also a bit crazy and she's removed all my candy, uhm, my painkillers. I hate that more than I hate Christmas but I do see why I have to go through this shit. The drugs are abusing my heart just a bit too much for comfort. I'm not ready to kick the bucket no matter how much this life annoys me at times.

Yeah, if you've emailed me and is hoping for an answer... don't get your hopes up. I trashes all what was in my mailbox. If it's really important just send me a now mail, and pray to what ever alien you worship. It might work.

A Christmas scam ... please don't fall for this.

Broken

I repair your broken cyborgs - Randis Albion

I don't know how to say this 

I think I'm suffocating 

I don't know how to say this 

I think I'm finally failing

Tantric - Mind Control

With all these people putting thought in our heads
It's hard to step away from what has been said
Living in fear is really no way to live
If we see clear and found a way to forget.

Velvet Underground - Venus in Furs

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Lordi - Bite it Like a Bulldog

Sentimental monster rock for me. It feels like yesterday but it's been 9 years since their first album. I kept playing "The Devil is a Loser"  while hammering my way through my favourite chat room.In 2006 I sort of lost interest in them. How metal are you truly if you win the Eurovision Song Contest. ABBA is among the winners for fucks sake!
Well, I stumbled over them again and I don't know if it's because I'm sentimental or if they are truly worthy to listen to, but here they are:




MySpace, FaceBook, YouTube channel and their HomePage.

Mikirurka - Eat Some Meal

MySpace, YouTube channel and their HomePage.
Mikirurka is a Polish band with a "quirky" mixed style of rock 'n roll. The video for Ain't no harm is also note worthy. Funny, and best of all is that they save the cactus. =)

Strange Karma - America

Fuck Yeah! I'm in love and I openly admit that I'm cheating on Stone Dözer by getting me some Strange Karma infusions now and then. If you like their music have a look at this page: http://strangekarma.net/buy/ that lists where you can buy some Karma of your own.

The Worshyp - Never Afraid

MySpace, FaceBook, ReverbNation and YouTube channel. 

The \W/orshyp are fast metallic metal with an attitude. My pick of video is based on something else though. I simply love the artistic touch it has.

Black Earth - She Don't Want It

MySpace and YouTube.

Stone Dözer album release!

Today is the day I've been waiting for. I'm not at home and I can't look up any more information than this and I hope there has been no delays. Hopefully they announce where we can buy it on their FaceBook page as soon as possible.




Stone Dözer- Home Sweet Hell - Lyrics

A scrumbled frame,
A pain inflicting picture,
The past is gone,
Nothing but a scapegoat,

We get down to seek heaven
Then get high and find hell,
Cause this blade of contradiction
Now is deep inside your head,
In the path you´ll get so much pain,
Blowing all your hopes away,
If you trip, you better stand up,

Save me,
From this curse,
You know what I've been through,
Save me,
From my own head,
Nothing will be the same
In this home sweet hell.

The game is over,
no more Mr. Asshole,
Something has changed,
You´re nothing but my ex-bitch

We get down to seek heaven
Then get high and find hell,
Cause this blade of contradiction
Now is deep inside your head,
In the path you´ll get so much pain,
Blowing all your hopes away,
If you trip, you better stand up,

Save me,
From this curse,
You know what I've been through,
Save me,
From my own head,
Nothing will be the same
In this home sweet hell.

Haddonfield1963 - Sound of Silence

Myspace and a YouTube channel with their music, not an official channel though. Another Swedish band that's worth keeping an eye on. The current information about them is minimal and I hope they will provide more in the future.

Vacation time again.

I'm going on a vacation again. This time I hope to arrive back home fully rested and full of energy again. (One can always hope.) I have huge stacks with music I want to share and I've decided to use scheduled posting to rid of some of it while I'm gone. Except lots of music and little else from me for the coming weeks.

Strange Karma...

I'm a vivid dreamer and every morning when I wake up I spend a moment in amazement over what I've come up with while sleeping. During the night I dreamt of a band where the singer had a very special voice ("Gillan like" is the best I can describe it) and (not so uniquely) dark curly hair. In the dream the band had problems with a manager and they were looking for a bass player.  The same morning I open my mail and find a message from Strange Karma. To my great surprise I find that Martin Strange the singer in Strange Karma fit the description. Reading the band's BIO I find that their manager suffered a stroke in 2010 and they they have found a new bass player to replace the one that quit.

I don't know about karma but it is strange...

Now listen to this:



MySpace, FaceBook, HomePage and YouTube channel.
The band originates in Australia, relocated to the UK for a while and if I understand it correctly they are now based in the US. Edit: I got a message from the band, they are in Australia but hope to get to the US as soon as possible.

Core Effect - Constant Reminder

MySpace, FaceBook, Youtube channel, CdBaby and HomePage.
Detroit band with a very contemporary easily digested sound.

The Chain of St. Boobster !

Daily Boob Fix !!!

 

Jesus hung out with 12 guys and a prostitute...

Heroic Women

Two campers on the other side of the lake from the island of Utøya, where the Norwegian massacre happened, heard gunfire and screams while they were eating their supper. Without thought for their personal safety, they took their boat and crossed towards the firing. Bullets hit the boat, but they pulled the fleeing youngsters from the water and crossed back and forth repeatedly.
Source. Guardian UK.

Two women, two of many heroes that day. Why have I never heard of them before even though I've read all I can find on the topic? Probably because they are married. A lesbian couple don't fit the general idea of "heroes" and might even be too uncomfortable to speak of for some. Now the news is going viral. I hope that people one day will learn to understand a basic fact. People are people. No matter what your lifestyle is you'll always be just as human and humane as the next person.
 

NASA's Zero Gravity Pen

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered the ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 Billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300C.
The Russians used a pencil.

One more funny thing that's ... well not really true.
Let's first remember that the NASA budget in the 1960 was $500 million and in 1965 it was $5.2 billion. They simply didn't have the $12 billion claimed in the joke.
NASA did not spend any money at developing the pen at all, the only money they spent on it was to buy it.

The Fisher Space Pen Company did on the other hand spend millions of dollars on developing the pen. American and Russian astronauts still us the pens and you can buy one of your own if you like. Here, the price tag is $50.

Steelwing - The Illusion

Steelwing at MySpace and FaceBook, they don't have an YouTube Channel but can be found through a search. The band is heading for a studio now and plans the release of a new album in early 2012.

Stone Dözer anounces the release of their album today!

Stone Dözer have announced the release of their first album 

"Long Live the Kïng" at August 17.

Revenge

Beneath betrayal I still remain
Through years of constant sorrow
My will is higher than before
I live for my tomorrow

No, I´m stronger than before

Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what belongs to me,
Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what you took from me

Inside my head there´s nothn´ but fire,
Contemplation is in the past
Take the hand that will take you higher
You should be the fuckn´ best.

No, I´m stronger than before

Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what belongs to me,
Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what you took from me

Inside our veins there is just metal,
No matter what they say,
Don´t loose you hope,
Don´t loose your breath
Or you´ll live just for the day

Don´t loose you way

They point their finger,
They chase your way,
You know what is about,
Just higher your life,
With balls of steel,
We´re raising from the grave,

Don´t loose your way

Loose your way...

No, I´m stronger than before

Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what belongs to me,
Revenge is mine,
I´m gonna take what you took from me

How was I supposed to know?

"The inner city is closed down," I told him as we got into the car.

"I know," he replied.

Noticing that he was driving in the direction of the inner city I felt the need to remind him again. "The inner city is closed for traffic because of the festival."

"I know that," he sighed. "I read about it in the paper."

He kept on driving and I poked around with the car stereo. When I looked up I noticed that he was slowly turning towards the lane leading into the inner city.

"The inner city is closed down," I reminded him once again.

"I know!" He snapped and then he turned into the inner city.

Five minutes later we are slowly rolling through the over crowded streets leading around the inner city. Even toddlers could walk faster than the traffic was moving.

"Why are we going this way?" I just had to ask because I saw no reason for us being there.

"This way is the fastest," he replies instantly.

"This is not fast in my eyes."

"How was I supposed to know that the traffic was jammed?" he growled.

... ah ... well ...

Van Canto - Kings of Metal (Manowar cover)

A Capella Metal.
I didn't think it would be worth the listen when I first hear of it. I was wrong. 5 singers and a drummer, that's it, no other instruments. The "guitar" solos are pretty amazing. The German band formed in 2006 and they have 3 albums out. Links to their MySpace, YouTube channel and official homepage.

This, I want.

GloFish

I often complain about the fish I have because I wish they could be more colourful. GloFish is not only colourful but they "glow" under an UV light. How cool is that?

Painkiller

Painkiller - Janne Parviainen

The ever gnarling pain is driving me batty. I can hardly use my right arm, I keep fumbling and dropping things and I can't sleep because of the pain. Desperate, I called my doctor hoping for some sort of solution to the problem. I told him about the intense pain and how the painkillers I take don't work. His grand solution? Take 4 more paracetamol per day. WTF? Diclofenac and tramadol doesn't help but paracetamol will? How can anyone come to such an idiot conclusion? Now I wonder if the doctor is truly a doctor or a quack. Seriously, WTF!? At the very least I expected to have my shoulder examined to determine why I'm in pain. I also thought that being sent to a doctor who specializes in pain matter would be a great idea. And, I get .... paracetamol. I just can't believe it.

BTW, the light-art or Light Paintings created by Janne Parvianen are great, have a look at his homepage for more.

The Thomas Oliver Band - Bad Talkin' Man

The Thomas Oliver Band from New Zealand. Nice chillax sort of music (rock, rhythm 'n blues) and I like. (Obviously.) Links to their YouTube Channel and their MySpace.

The League of S.T.E.A.M

The League of Steam project is looking for donations. Here. I was looking for new pics of my favourite vampire slayer when I stumbled over it.Here's their YouTube Channel and their Hompage.

Too Little Time Too Much To Do..

Having doctor's orders to rest and take it easy I find myself more stressed than ever. Things are piling up around me, projects are fading into oblivion and I still find that there are not enough hours in a day. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to screw the doctor's orders and start catching up again.

I don't know how other people do it, those who always have time over at the end of the day and those who have the ability to be bored. How do they do that? I find it hard to picture what it would be like to have so much time on my hands that I would be bored. Somehow I think it's impossible.

Norway on my mind

It's been days and it's still just as unbelievable as when it happened. We've been talking to our Norwegian friends and are thankful that they and their families are not among the dead. But, it's still tragic and emotionally overwhelming. Among the worst things is the fact that Anders Behring Breivik doesn't see the killings as a criminal act. He sees himself as a hero that will go down in history for his great deed. It's sickening.

To further his delusions he also sees himself as a Knight Templar on a Holy Crusade. Though he's not that far off base there since they were racist killers too.

There is no punishment that will ever be good enough for a shit like this. Nothing the living can do to him will cover what he did to the victims, their families and the nation. There is one thing I hope for though, that they silence him. He did all of this to draw the attention to "his" manifesto and his ideas. It would be great if he never gets to spread it any further.

Malison Rouge - Friend or Foe?

Swedish band with a taste of "maiden" in them. Check their MySpace out for more music and samples. They don't seem to have a YouTube channel but epicpowermark has two of their songs on the channel. And here's the FaceBook.

Norway Terror

92 persons confirmed dead this far. There are no words ... it's something that should not happen. Not in Norway and not anywhere else.

Not only do I wonder why it happened but why the shooter was not stopped for one and a half hour. One and a half hour where he walked around looking for people to shoot while cheering for himself. He killed almost 1 person per minute and no one stopped him.

It just didn't pan out as planned.

This is where is planned to post a video of my son and the band. I post a lot of music so why not show him off. He's a kid with a long way to go, but I'm a proud mom so I'd do it anyway. The problem is ... I managed to turn the video camera off when I thought I turned it on and on when I thought I turned it off. All I've filmed was blurry pictures of legs, shoes and ground. It's so embarrassing that I can hardly believe it's true and I'm beating myself p over it.

Personification of “Standing out in a Crowd”.

My son’s band got a spot as the opening band at a local festival and I was there of course. It’s great that the kids get a chance to show off to an audience larger than their families and ever so supportive moms. The area was full with happy party people. Goths that made me think of Count Dracul and his brides. Punks, though punks have never been the same since the 70’s. (I miss that.) Metal heads with stunning girlfriends, those guys really “get it”. There were rockers that reminded me of the “good old days”, big hairy bikers of the kind that you instantly step aside for. Three families with kids that found a good spot, next to the bikers, where their kids could bounce around on pogo sticks. A group of skin heads with polished scalps, army boots and ugly girlfriends. Middle-aged drunken women on the prowl, with their boobage close to dropping out of their tops that were too small. Us rocker moms, (in contrast to the soccer moms) dragging gear and looking after water bottles. Groupies dressed to their teeth hanging around the musicians. There was a group of pensioners that seemed lost but still stayed together with the hippies and the beach bums. A group of militaries showed up in uniform for some reason, and then there was one lonely guy from the Middle East carrying a backpack.

I’ve never seen a clearer personification of “Standing out in a Crowd”.

No worries, it was all peace, love and understanding and we all had a great time. My son’s band did really good and there are already people who have contacted them about future concerts. I’m so proud of the kids that I could burst. They still have a long way to go but they are not one but two steps closer to their goal. Happy days!

Troll

Troll - Robin Benes

Being burntout and unable to do anything constructive with my time I spend a lot of time at Y!A. The place is just about as troll infested as a site can be and I find myself being sentimental. Remember in the olden days when the trolls were truly trolls? The whole point of trolling is to get away with it, not to scream; "Here look at me, I'm a troll damn it!". Trolling is truly "a art". Comparing the "olden day" trolls to the trolls today is like comparing an old time "gentleman thief" to a "smash and grab" today. The trolls of today lack skill and sophistication. As if that's not bad enough, you can actually troll the trolls and rail them up. Could it possibly get worse?

There was a troll once, back in the 90's, who I absolutely loved. He, lets call him Dick, had the ability to lead people on for days at a time. A classic being when he got his penis stuck in a pipe and needed help to get it out. People gave him good advice, women "mommied" him and the men felt sorry for him. Some people pointed and laughed and the others attacked them because it was not a funny situation and they should be ashamed of themselves for laughing. Dick played them all with great creativity and magnificent acting skills. He kept them up dated on the progress, whined about the pain and the shame and added twists to the story when the interest seemed to fade. A female friend tried to help him, in real life, and that made things worse since she was so sexy. Poor Mr Dick!

They simply don't make trolls like that anymore and it's a shame.
