Alright then, I looked around the internet and couldn't find mediaeval spelled with the A anywhere, but I am Googling from the USA so maybe those archaic results are hidden from us Yanks. I found a bunch of other words that are spelled differenty in Britain and the Commonwealths than they are here, but not that one. I do believe you though. Unlike a certain Orca we both know, I'm pretty sure you don't go changing facts or your story around on a whim to suit your immediate needs. I did listen to that Winter Songs album in its entirety btw, they just didn't have the whole album up on Youtube in one single video, they had uploaded all the tracks separately. I posted two of them, but still I listened to them all, each and every one. Now, back to the Napalm Death marathon as I eat my slow cooker pot roast.

I love you man. If we lived closer I'm quite sure we'd be real life friends. We could meet up for a coffee (or at the pub for a beer if your wife would allow you to consort with uncouth Yanks after dark and I could find a babysitter) once a month and have ourselves a good chuckle over whatever dumb shit our favorite Orca has said recently. The refined Doctor and aficionado of all things cultured, nuanced and avant-garde is hittin' me with the decidedly unrefined Napalm Fucking Death. You are right sir, Shane Embury is the most tenured member serving as bassist since 1987, Mitch and Barney first joined in 1989, drummer Danny in 1991. While the entity known as Napalm Death was originally formed in 1981 by some different blokes. So clearly it is not the same band now as the one who released Scum in 1987 or FETO in 1988. But I give them a pass since I didn't get into them until well after 1990. The Code is Red was my first exposure to them I guess at a Tower Records in-store listening station, must have been 2005. (I had never heard anything as heavy and abrasive as that before then, which is funny because it now sounds quite reasonable to me) So they're the same old Napalm Death now as I have always known for the last 18 years. If I had been into the band since before 1987 back in their early pub and demo days, or even in their fabled Dorrian/Steer/Harris period, then I'd probably be wanting to make some kind of a distinction between the lineups, like a ND Mark II, or Mark III or whatever. But I'll give you credit, you got me.

Maybe the V is from a German version only meant to be distributed over there? Because as I'm sure you know they reverse pronounce their V's and W's over there, opposite from the way we say them. But I really can't imagine a band of their limited stature or their record company going to all the trouble and expense to release two separate versions with two different spellings. I know we live in different parts of the world so this is a serious question: is that really how you lot spell medieval? Or was that extra A just a typo? I know you guys do like to add extra unnecessary letters to words like maneuver, pedophile and fetus, so I'm really not sure. I only ask because I enjoy learning about words and I hadn't ever come across that spelling of 'mediaeval' before. It's already kind of a weirdly spelled word. Being American naturally I have the barely controllable urge to streamline it even more and spell it the way it sounds: 'mideval.' Not sure if I even have a personal medieval world view Doc. Not a subject that comes up too often unless I'm watching a film about Robin Hood or King Arthur or Henry VIII or some period historical thing like that. I know I'm old, but I assure you I was born well after the Renaissance. The Hermit Art Bears (Winter Songs) ....crazy man. At least my brain can identify this as music...or some of it. But as with so many things tagged "avant-garde" the severe atonality aspect gives me pause. I have trouble processing it so I find it jarring. Just like prog metal, if it wasn't for all the gratuitous dissonance and atonality I might actually be able to appreciate some of it. Art Bears - Winter Songs SV - The Skeleton

prescription

Yes you have. Do you now at this time wish to retract that denial? I'll allow it. We can strike it from the record. You might as well since I've never really believed you anyway. Now if you told me your mum mistakenly thought Kiss was black metal because they were in corpsepaint, that I would be willing to believe.

"Relax" is just a figure of speech where I'm from Orca. Its usage doesn't necessarily mean that I think you are in an unrelaxed state. Like when you tell somebody "Don't worry about it" and they reply "I'm not worried" as if they think you literally thought they were worried. At this time I do not know, nor do I need, desire or endeavor to know your present degree of relaxation. I only know you came back at me talking about the band Vio-lence when I'd originally just intended to pop in with a quick and hopefully amusing hit and run comment pointing out that someone had used the word "pioneering" incorrectly. I wasn't expecting a response or hoping to start any kind of a Vio-lence discussion. I don't even like the band. And since I'm here typing already, I must say I find this feigned sub-genre ignorance of yours quite amusing. We all know that you know what thrash metal is Orca. You can drop the act, you're not fooling anyone. You're a fully grown (and then some) pensioner, not some wet behind the ears post-millennial drongo who just fell off the turnip truck.

Back in the early 90's I was in a roomate situation after my first wife left. There were three of us dudes renting a house and sharing one stereo (mine) and basically combining our record collections, which was about 85% or 90% mine as well. It was kinda good in a way because we had to let everyone have their turn to pick the next record, so I got exposed to a bunch of stuff I probably wouldn't have otherwise left to my own devices. But I do kind of prefer this now when I can listen to whatever I want here in my place while at the same time interacting with other people who are listening to whatever they want in the privacy of their own spaces. That way everyone's happy. Because you'll almost never find two metalheads who like and dislike all the same shit.

Relax gramps. Don't you know by now I'm just having some fun witchoo? Taking the piss as it were. I remember when the much hyped Vio-lence debut came out in '88, we had been hearing for a year or two how it was on the way and it was gonna blow our doors off. I also remember being quite underwhelmed when I finally got my big mouthed copy home and threw it on the TT. Those vox rendered it essentially unlistenable to me. But you are correct that a lot of people do praise the band highly. My friend RIcc from the east bay swears by them and Forbidden while I have no use for either band.

Quite a few of the bands I listen to are just a human being. But regardless, human beings are not mass produced interchangeable replacement parts with model numbers. And that makes your wheelbarrow analogy invalid.

No it's not. That's a W on the cover in every picture I can find. Put your readers on Doc. Sulphur Aeon - Swallowed By the Ocean's Tide I'm due for a revisit anyway. Everyone I know seems to really love these guys and I could take them or leave them. This debut is the only one of theirs I can listen to. They lost me with the two subsequent ones.

Fred Frith - Solo Concert at MÓZG, ok so the dude makes weird noises with his guitar. I don't know much about jazz, but apparently at one time he used to play actual music. Now he's just avant-garde. Svallowed, what's that, your attempt at a German accent? Do you normally read album titles in your version of the accent of the country they're from? I certainly do.

You're the thrash guy aren't you? Or the closest thing we have to one around these parts currently. You should brush up on your BAT history. Otherwise maybe we'll have to make Hungarino the designated thrash guy. Or Deadovic maybe, he posts a fair amount of thrash.

It's completely different with inanimate objects. It's still A wheelbarrow, but obviously not the same wheelbarrow. With people there's no such thing as replacement parts of the same model. All human replacements are by definition a completely different model. Yes of course I've done this, the question is why haven't you done it? It wouldn't cost you anything Doc, what have you got to lose? Although clearly you fall well outside the typical Slayer demographic. Wouldn't pay $5 to see either one of them, original members or not. With a free ticket and open bar I might consider watching Vio-lence if I had nothing else to do that night, but only if it were with Bobby G in and Sean out. Killian's participation would be an absolute deal breaker. How can Vio-lence be a "pioneering" thrash band? They were part of the second wave of BAT, their debut album didn't come out until 1988. That's called trend following my friend, not pioneering. BAT was on life support by 1991/92, it's hey-day a distant speck in the rear view mirror.

Sick of It All - Just Look Around, NYHC 1992 Sick of it All - Call to Arms, NYHC 1999

Frozen Dawn - The Decline of the Enlightened Gods, Spain, fell asleep last night around 4 am before I could post this definite future purchase. Finally in March I'm starting to look for current year stuff again. Had only picked up five 2023 albums until last night. REZN - Solace, Chicago, heavy trippy psyche/stoner. Not my usual kinda thing as a good portion of this is super mellow, (there might even be a few seconds of tasteful saxophone at 30:30) but I'm shifting gears here, been out cleaning snow off the car and shovelling the driveway and I'm in cool down mode now. Enjoying my late morning coffee as I get mentally prepared to go downstairs into the cold unheated kitchen and continue wet sanding my concrete countertops. What a fucking mess we're making, we've got plastic over everything, the sander sprays the cement slurry everywhere in all directions. But the island's looking good at 400 grit. Gotta take the faucet off and do around by the sink today.
