Also relistening to Celtic Frost, who I haven't forgotten about my haven't listened to in months. It's very entertaining to hear this death metal and black metal precursor do these Michael Jackson "ow!"s over these heavy riffs.Comments

I haven't listened to Chaosbreed in a decade. They were really good! Also, I forgot they were Finnish and that Esa Holopainen was in the band. Sometimes, it's nice to forget stuff.Comments

This Browser episode is about running. The main interesting insight to me is that part of the reason that running gets you into a “flow state” (gah, so tired of that term) reliably is because running is something you can do which has a low chance of failure, unlike, say, writing or programming. Most people know how to put one foot in front of the other.Comments
The other interesting thing is that Lindelani mentions in passing that running help build up the mental fortitude to play the Souls games. That stuff is everywhere. I was listening to an interview with this death metal guitarist that mentioned that one of his bands was yet another Souls metal band. -
Shoveled the car out, 30 burpees (may not have counted correctly), 12 pull-ups.Comments

This episode of Talking Politics is about the Union—which is the Union of Great Britain, meaning just England and Scotland, not the entire UK. Scotland separating from the Union and the UK is a real possibility now, even if it isn’t likely.Comments
Something I never thought about is who comprises the SNP. It’s the Scottish National Party, so of course it has the kind of nationalists you see in the United States (but probably not that crazy). However, it also has a lot of social democrats who “just want Scotland to be a normal country”. One of their political leaders doesn’t like that “national” is in the party’s name. These two factions have a lot of conflicts.
I wonder if the separatist party in Quebec has a mix like that, too. -

I backed Evlyn Moreau's Where the Wheat Grows Tall. It's an interesting game idea, but even if I never play it, she's a great illustrator, so at the least, it will be a collection of cool pictures.Comments

10-4-4-4-4-12. Those last couple were really struggly. It’s been a while! Maybe the workout slacking is coming home to roost.Comments

This episode of Heavy Hole with Seppo Taatila might be worth listening to, even if you don't like metal. Maybe.Comments
It's an interview with a guy from a rural area of Finland. He joined the death metal band Demigod in the late '80s. They were pioneering, but of course, were obscure in the big scheme of things.
He speaks about what life is like there, and what his life is like now. They asked him if he ever talks to another member of the band, and his reply was that he does, but they never talk about death metal. They talk because he is a youth basketball coach at the local athletic center and the other band member is a track coach there. -

Progressive, technical death metal is getting a bit of a bad rap lately because cavernous and old school death metal (which I also like) are having their moment, but Gorod's Process of a New Decline still sounds amazing and monumental in the current climate. There's no atmosphere; everything is engineered so you can hear all the riffs articulated perfectly, and that was the right choice. Disavow Your God might actually be a perfect song, with masterful management of momentum and harmonization throughout. You should get it!Comments
A small downside is that it'll make you stop working and just listen to it, and then continue to not work while you write to your weblog about it. - Comments
