Thatguy

She seems better now, thanks. Que?

Took the cat to the vet because she is not eating much and has lost weight during and after her stint in cat prison (a very nice cattery actually). It seems there is nothing in particular wrong with her and she is probably still sulking. Oh dear. West Arnhem Land but the quality of the images the site allows me to post make it not worth posting any more. I think I'll have sulk too.

Me neither... EYE EATER - Alienate. Rather djentish, but still enjoyable HAVUKRUUNU - Rautaar Ja Tulta FRACTAL GENERATOR - Convergence ULCERATE - Cutting the Throat of God. Yeah baby NP - THE MILES DAVIS QUINTET - The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions. Also yeah baby.

AMAROK - Resilience. Now, this is plodding, but on purpose I guess. VUUR & ZIJDE - Boezum Kind of wholesome.

Thatguy approved.

Whatever that is. It actually only got to 6 real degrees. There was freezing rain and a strong bitter wind...still, I went for a nice walk in that so it can't have been too bad. Yer just have to dress appropriately. There should be snow on the hills overnight I think. Unlike houses in the rest of Australia we do make an effort here and my place is pretty well insulated, double glazing etc I have no opinion on the so called new wave of thrash but I'm sure the Orca will be on the wrong side.

TOTENGOTT - Beyond the Veil WORMED - OMEGON

A few more. Uploading images is such a pain I can only bear to do it every few days.

I guess this is the best place for some photos as promised to the GG. Darwin is a place to fly out of - we went home from there, and long long drives on terrible red dirt/sand roads with usually no internet/phone reception. Gove Murwangi Also Murwangi Both East Arnhem Land I'll post more tomorrow. It's a pain shrinking my images to fit and it's hard when I'm doing everything one handed because of the needy black cat who hasn't got over being sent to cat prison yet being held on my knee with my other hand.

The live disc of Ummagumma is great and as a teenager I really wanted it so I had to find the double album price because of the 'other' disc which is one of the crappiest, contempt-for-fans pieces of shit ever recorded. They ought to be ashamed and I still want a refund for it. HIPOXIA - Fragmented Revelations EMBRIONAL - The Devil Inside

And of course I do love Portal but there is not much similarity apart from dense and rather murky sound. I travelled from the coast of East Arnhem Land (Gove/Nhulumbuy) where the land is flat and not stoney to the north coast of West Arnhem Land (Cobourg peninsula), There are more hills and plenty of stoney outcrops in the west. I stopped before Kakadu - check the maps - and flew to Darwin from there. The first two pictures you posted look to be wet season images - the land really is nothing like the Blue Mountains - and outsiders don't go in the wet mainly because the roads are impassable - they are pretty rough at the best of times. The last one is a bit more like it but too fucking arty. I will post a few images in a more appropriate thread when I have uploaded my photos to my computer. Crack on.

Thatguy's back - from a trek through Arnhem Land from Gove/Nhulunbuy to Darwin - and I'm struck again by the strange and uncommon occurrence of a very close overlap between my refined taste and the GG's barbarisms with regard to this band. People, huh? Did anything important happen while I was away?

As it happens I put this on for a listen just before I logged on. Not sure yet.

CURSEBINDER - Drifting Then, just because I can, ULCERATE - Cutting the Throat of God

MARKUS STOCKHAUSEN GROUP - Tales. This is much too long but full of beauty and mystery.
