Cradle of Filth - Cruelty and The Beast

No. I must have forgotten it.

Do you know the password?

"That was when I saw the Pendulum. The sphere, hanging from a long wire set into the ceiling of the choir, swayed back and forth with isochronal majesty. I knew - but anyone could have sensed it in the magic of that serene breathing - that the period was governed by the square root of the length of the wire and by π, that number which, however irrational to sublunar minds, through a higher rationality binds the circumference and diameter of all possible circles. The time it took the sphere to swing from end to end was determined by an arcane conspiracy between the most timeless of measures: the singularity of the point of suspension, the duality of the plane’s dimensions, the triadic beginning of π, the secret quadratic nature of the root, and the unnumbered perfection of the circle itself."

So true, I say from experience

I can't stop listening to Queensryche "Eyes of a Stranger". Heard it on Hair Nation this morning on the way to work and now I've been listening to it all day. I dig early Queensryche but I've only heard The Warning and Rage for Order and their brilliant self-titled EP. This shit kicks ass. They really had a gift for building intensity in their songs. Totally going to listen to Operation Mindcrime start to finish when I have time.

Well, it's finally happened. I knew it would. When I heard that Ozzy was hospitalised with a respiratory infection I said to myself, "Requiem, he's never going to make it to Australia in March". And now I've, yet again, been proven correct. So my hugely expensive festival ticket, where I would have seen the great man solo for the first time (I've seen him with Sabbath but not with his solo band), will now allow me only to see bands of mild interest. This could be the last opportunity too, as I just can't see the old boy coming back to Australia after this.
