    Don't know if I've posted this one before, I keep getting nagged to enable some BS cookies again. -.-

    Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

    This has been stuck in mind for a while recently. I still recently remember feeling chills the first I heard it. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but I think Dusk... and her Embrace was the first black metal album I heard from start to finish.

    Since that Jeffrey Dahmer documentary on Netflix is the talk of the town at work I decided to re-visit Macabre's <<Dahmer>> biopic concept album:

    “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

    "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

    Was sort of disappointed it wasn't a cover of the Mansell piece

    Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

    Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

    I don't like James Hetfield's singing - or Metallica's guitar work, and while his drumming is okay, I generally dislike Lars the Danish Dwarf. :p

    I guess its not "metal" but Free Bird has a great guitar ensemble. I wish I could have seen these guys live. Well, I saw them live at NAS Jacksonville in the early 90's but all the good ones died in the plane crash:

    1) Ignore the Confederate battle flag.

    2) Skip to 6:47 if you just want the guitars.

    3) Wow, 1977 California girls! Not an uggo in the stadium.

    Thomas Winkler is back! ❤️

    It's a shame he got kicked out of Gloryhammer, but I'm hoping this goes well for him :)

    Knew you'd catch it if you watched it, she's quite distinctive 😄
