Me neither, but I wanted to know what it was like, so I checked it out and found myself liking some of it quite a lot (e.g. Burzum & Bathory)

That picture looks like Varg's about to enjoy some COOLER RANCH(TM) DORITOS(R)(TM).
That electronic stuff is awful... ughhh. I remember he said something like that himself when he decided not to finish the trilogy of it.

"We're not letting you out, but here's some Doritos."
― StanM, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 17:45 (fifteen years ago) link
No Doritos. That's obviously some cd/dvd since that store is Platekompaniet. Norway's biggest record/dvd/entertainment chain.
What's on your iPod Varg?

Er... How locked are Norwegian prisons, by the way?
― StanM, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 17:53 (fifteen years ago) link
We've kind of been over this I think. He's had home visits and so forth. The notion of how prison works, what its function is, etc., differs greatly from society to society. The model we use here in the U.S. is extremely stupid and counterproductive.

(at least that's what I think I recall hearing abt Varg's deal, maybe I'm wrong and this is just a clever photoshop or a shot from his brief "prison break" which IIRC was a failure-to-report-back from a visit)

Now that you mention it - this has indeed already been discussed elsewhere. (Can't find the exact thread at the moment though - it was about how he had access to computers and how the place looked so nice during a (tv?) interview or something)

Cool jailbird cap!
And probably the most influential dude in Metal of the last fifteen years?
Or probably just squeaking into the top 40 as long as you grade on quantity alone?
The music's worth grabbing, of course. If you don't know the backstory by now, 16 years after the fact, then Googling "Count Varg Kristian Grishnakh Burzum Vikernes" will only confuse the shit out of you. Just wait for the upcoming Lords of Chaos movie, I'm sure that will explain all.
Here's who does deserve a release date: the West Memphis Three. There's a new evidence hearing scheduled for September, the biggest development in this case in years. The defense is submitting the results of modern DNA analysis that show no match between Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jesse Misskelley and any of the collected evidence on record. No hairs, no specks of skin, no blood, not a spot of incriminating anything anywhere. Even John Mark Byers is on their side now, which is pretty dramatic. But the presiding judge is still the same Judge Burnett that oversaw the original trial, so who the hell knows...he keeps getting promoted just as the case ascends through the court system over the years. He'll probably be on the US Supreme Court if this case ever makes it there.

This is Norway.

That's high security, but who know what that really means.

This is good news. Well except the last part about the judge.

But they dressed in black! Who else but satanic child murderers dresses in black? That's right, nobody (*). Therefore, guilty.
