I know this thread is mostly about alcohol, but on the off chance anyone cares, I wanted to talk about a soda. I recently obtained a bottle of Baikal soda. Baikal was the Soviet answer to western colas such as coke and pepsi. It has a tea/lemon/pine taste and I quite recommend it.

As for alcohol, last night I had MONK’S CAFE FLEMISH SOUR ALE and, while it was good, it was damn sour.

Recently watched the movie Stalker on blu ray by Criterion Collection, and loved it. This was my second time viewing the film, and my wife's first, and we were both blown away. It was made in the soviet union, so the idea is not to make a great sci-fi movie with flashy visuals and special effects, but rather to make a great sci-fi movie with a lot of philosophical content and engrossing atmosphere. A top notch movie that was actually recommended by Varg Vikernes. Unfortunately, many involved with making the movie died of cancer because it was filmed in a toxic waste dump.

...and even though I'd rather wear underwear made out of steel wool - Deafheaven

I don't know much about this. Why does Deafhheaven get so much hate?

Samhain - Initium

Darkthrone - Under a Funeral Moon

Motorhead - (I'm not incredibly familiar with Motorhead's catalogue, but I listened to a bunch so I could put together a mix C.D., love the cover of Bowie's Heroes.)

Glenn Branca - Symphony No. 1

I saw something in the what are you listening to thread and thought I should comment here so as to not derail that thread. Several people seem enthusiastic about a band called Ice Nine Kills. I had never heard of them, and knew nothing about them, but I freaking love the book they got their name from. They are not listed in the metal archives, yet wikipedia says they are a metal band. So what do they really play? (I'm guessing that the word, "core," will be involved.)

I was in Denmark, and it said, "rocket," on the menu at a sandwich shop. I asked what it was, and was told it was lettuce. It didn't look like any lettuce I had ever seen. Now I know what I ate.

Nokturnal Mortum - Lunar Poetry

My all time favorite is Siberia white dry slim. I prefer the real tobacco over nicotine powder such as Velo or Kurwa

I definitely prefer real tobacco as well. My favorite portioned is Nick & Johnny Americana. Siberia scares me, I've heard that there is just ridiculously enormous amounts of nicotine in those.

Back to the topic at hand, I always have music on while doing household chores. It seems to make them go by faster.

Attila is my favorite, Maniac second. None of the others made much impression on me. Nothing about Dead's vocals sound special to me, and I always just assumed people were into him because of the story and his personality. I'm sure some people genuinely appreciate his performances, but I've just never heard anything special about them.

I can't listen to music without a good snus. Yeah, I'm addicted to that shit. Also i like growling, while I listen to deathcore :dd

I usually read while I listen, but very often use snus while listening to music as well. What kind do you like? I just opened the limited edition Jakobsson’s Glögg & Kanel Lös.

I call bullshit. I'm pretty fucking old too but I know that everyone who doesn't live in a deep dark cave somewhere in the remote uncharted mountains of Afghanistan knows what Spotify is. I haven't ever used it myself, but I certainly know what it is.

I knew it was an app, didn't know what it was for. Believe what you want.

I'm old, and I don't know what a spotify is. If I'm home, I listen to music on youtube or bandcamp, if I'm in the car I listen to CDs or the radio.

LOL, absolutely not! But thank you for getting me to chuckle. Nasal Snuff is finely ground tobacco that is sniffed up the nose.  

Hey guys, what can you recommend as the single most extreme/brutal/aggressive/insane Black Metal song that you have heard? For me, this award goes to Pandemonic Hyperblast by Anaal Nathrakh. What do you guy recommend?

Recommend Unusual Blood Experience

TURK

First, to echo an earlyer sentiment, fuck cancer. My wife's brother is fighting it now, and I sure hope he survives.

Two random ass things:

Does anyone else use nasal snuff? I've gotten into it recently and it's really fun. It's impossible to find in New England so I have to order it from England. I've heard that It's much more popular in Europe than it is here.

Does anyone else know of/follow the antics of Chris Chan?  This person is a bizarre tragicomedy that will leave you bewildered but fascinated. For those that dare, watch the Chris Chan comprehensive history documentary on youtube, or check out https://sonichu.com/cwcki which is an entire encyclopedia dedicated to this person's incomprehensible shenanigans. They are right now siting in jail for raping they're senile 80 something year old mother. Good lord.

Danzig - Danzig II Lucifuge

Black Whitchery - Upheaval of Satanic Might

Judas Priest - Screaming for Vengeance

Jean Sibelius - Symphony 4

My parent gave me shisha for Yule (for some reason they call it Christmas), so I thought I would leave some comments on them here. First, one of my old favorites: Starbuzz Lebanese Bomb Shell, which is cedar flavored. Next, Al-Waha Pan Rasna; I'm not sure what, "rasna," means, but pan or paan is a leaf that is rolled with spices and such and chewed as a breath freshener/mild stimulant in India. This shisha was nice, but the flavor was almost too strong. Oddly, the Al-Waha Chai Latte had almost no flavor at all, just sweet and vaguely floral, a definite fail. Trifecta Indian Kheer was very nice, but also on the weak side. Finally, Social Smoke Pistachio Breeze was very good, tasted like pistachio and wasn't too strong or weak. I think the pistachio and the kheer will mix very well.

Hahaha this is awesome! I'd rather listen to Rocky Horror any day than Grand declaration tbh. That album has not aged well. Though the production did improve with the recent remaster.

I love both GDOW and Rocky Horror, but they are so different I can't say which is better. I totally disagree with your assessment of Grand Declaration. I love that album the way it is originally, and from what I have heard of the remaster, they have taken out everything that makes it unique and provocative. I haven't heard this remix, and I am afraid to.
