records i get. what i think.

Vried, Hearse, and Gentleman's Pistols have sounded okay to me so far, but I haven't had time to play them much -- There's not enough hours in the week to keep up with metal stuff I get anymore!

Didn't like Gorefest or Exterminance or Knights of the Abyss, I don't think (I didn't take notes).

Didn't play Freedom Call or Sodom yet. I think they are still in my "will play these sooner or later" pile though.

I can't find my copy of Mehida, and from descriptions by George (who liked it) and you (who didn't), it sounds like something I might like! Oh well.

Metal in my CD changer now: Witchcraft, Warfare, Agua De Annique. (Non-metal there: Gary Allan, Bobby Bowens.) (Well actually, Gary Allan might be more metal than Agua De Annique* by now, but never mind.)

* = Anneke Van Giersbergen from the Gathering's new combo, but Scott already knows that!

"nice bloggin'!"

i actually do have a blog, but I never post on it. There is something about the blogger/blogspot "look" that makes me never want to go there. I find ILX to be the one place where I feel comfortable writing stuff for fun. I don't even write e-mails. And I rarely write on my own. Unless its for money.

hey, in case some people who might care didn't see my filthy 50 list in Decibel's stoner rock issue, you can look at it online. but not with the cool album covers. i got a little grief from the nitpickers at stonerrock.com and the southern lord board, but not to much. it's just stuff that i like. decibel actually added the word "masterpieces" to it. i just wanted to give a shout-out to stuff i love. i wouldn't be capable of making a list of the "most obscure" 70's hard rock albums anyway. i haven't heard most of them! i figured it was a good bet that most decibel readers hadn't heard a lot of the stuff i did list. thus, they are obscure to them! but not obscure to freaks and recordheadz.

Baby Elephant's Turn My Teeth Up! Out Sept. 15. Prince Paul and Bernie Worrell, with guests George Clinton, Davind Byrne, Yellowman, Shock G, Nona Hendryx ("Alright, where you been, how you doin Nona?" "Fine." "I know you're fine, but how you doin?!" This is not on the album.There are skits, though.) Also: DJ Roc Raida, Reggie Watts, Gabby La La, etc etc. So far I like tracks 8, 10, 13, 15 16 the most, others to some extent. (So far I)kinda prefer Bernie's own Funk Of Ages, incl covers of Sun Ra and J.S.Bach (covers might help here).
