The song that kicks you off

[Greybeard]

Good enough for me when I was filling my nappies.

Weirdly I read that as 'filing my nipple's'.😟

In my old days, started to enjoy (melodic) black metal... still got a problem with the 'vocals', but alleviated by listening to the arrangements, all the stuff going on in the background, the way they bind together different parts of a song, the powerful sound\production\dynamics, the insanely great drummers, the guitars ...makes it a great experience. Very good at 7 in the morning to get one out of bed :O)

INSOMNIUM - Heart Like a Grave

^^^ Church burning happened in Norway, even in my town. But that's done by death black devil medieval nordic mythology metal bands, not the melodic ones which are gentle guys just looking a bit weird :O)

Edit, https://snl.no/Fantoft_stavkirke a beautiful wood church some of these criminal braindead weaklings managed to destroy in the name of some schizophrenic 'religion' combined with abhorrent mental defects. Was rebuilt as exact copy.

^^^ btw, all the real & best melodic heavy metal bands are all from Finland for some unknown raeson. Surely someone has got their PHD researching the phenomena :O)
The others bands are just copycats trying to catch up.

Did visit Algarve years ago, looking around for some old house (finca?) a little off the coast to make it a holiday home, but the summer temps made me immediately back down, but what a fantastic country. Ended up finding something in the mountains north of Nice\Cannes, can be hot in daytime but a cool mountain breeze in the evenings\nights makes it all perfect.

ps. got my dose of tobacco in the upper lip right now... made me stop smoking, like 100.000's others. Recommended by doctors. Cancer warning on the boxes was removed some years ago, after long clinical investigations found nothing corelating this type of tobacco to diseases. But one is still hooked on nicotine just like cigarettes.

This isn't a song but a you-tube channel which I thoroughly enjoy.
It's called 'The Daily Doug' by a bloke called Doug Helvering

Thanks for that.
I just watched him review what is probably my favourite piece of music of all time; Shine On You Crazy Diamond, by Pink Floyd.

Came across this, great of PF to officially stand up and do this. Some great gitar.

PS, Roger Waters supports Putin, claiming everything is the west's fault. No doubt why PF had to split :O)

And another Finnish one.
As always, the power, instrumentals & compositions are great, just excuse the guy who 'sings' > must have some serious cold + toothache + stomach pains 

[KiwiGF]

As NZ currently goes through the local election process this song keeps coming into my head….a classic from my youth…. “We won’t get fooled again”
