  1. Thinks electric bikes are the future of cycling
  2. I didn't think you were that fond of Led Zeppelin to be honest. Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come is a great album and so is Kind of Blue. I prefer Bitches Brew above Kind of Blue, but ol' Miles didn't make a lot of bad stuff anyway, so yeah...
  3. The last couple of days have been great. Last week I was able to find time to do the things I used to enjoy most, such as playing chess, visiting my old team's handball match, reading, etc. In the process I bumped into a lot of people I hadn't seen for a long time and although some of the conversations were a bit stiff, I can't deny it did feel good to catch up with old friends: The kid who taught me how to play chess conquered the 10th place on the Belgian championship this year. He's extremely talented and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for him. Who knows where we will see him in a few years... My former handball team won with 26-21. The game itself was bloody awful to behold, but at least we won. I hadn't seen a game since I quit about 2 years ago because I simply couldn't be bothered really, but I'm glad I went when I look at it now. A local instrument repairer has also decided to accept me as his apprentice. This means I now have the unique opportunity to learn how to repair woodwinds (especially saxophones). December will bring my first evaluation, so let's hope for the best. This weekend the biggest flea market in Flanders returns to my city as well. It's an annual event I try to visit each year. I'm looking forward to it as always. The only bummer this year is the fact that I moved. I now live right in front of the tent which will be host to a dozen of Dutch schlager artists who shall relentlessly shout their jolly songs until the hand hits the early hours...
  4. Second. I allow myself to drink perhaps one beer, but can't be permitted to feel any effects caused by the alcohol since my notes (arco) are at risk of sounding unstable. It's a pity, since (playing) music is usually a blast under influence.
  5. Cool idea. Some from the top of my head are: Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence Agalloch - Pale Folklore Funebre - Children of the Scorn Dissection - The Somberlain Pan.Thy.Monium - Dawn of Dreams Forgotten Silence - The Nameless Forever - the Last Remembrance
  6. Thanks! Based on what you said earlier I think you know how relieving it feels when the moving is over
  7. Due to moving to my new house, the last couple of days have been quite hectic. Now however, everything apart from some minor issues has been sorted out and I can finally catch my breath. On another note, I'm picking up my new bow on Friday and my rosin could arrive in the mail any day now. It's taken too long for my gear to be complete, but I'm almost there now...
  8. Black Tape for a Blue Girl Amon Düül II Rudimentary Peni Astor Piazzolla Melt-Banana
  9. Johann Wolfgang Pozoj - Birth of Pozoj
  10. Vorage - Vorage Fat Freddy's Drop - Based on a True Story Infinitum Obscure - Sub Atris Caelis Cerekloth - In the Midst of Life We Are in Death Solothus - Summoned from the Void Bauhaus - In the Flat Field Abyssal - Denouement Fuoco Fatuo - The Viper Slithers in the Ashes of What Remains Crypt of Kerberos - World of Myths The Jesus Lizard - Goat Stargazer - A Merging to the Boundless Bölzer - Soma Ectovoid - Fractured in the Timeless Abyss Iblis - Menthell Nas - Illmatic Misery's Omen - Hope Dies
  11. Amestigon - Thier This doesn't live up to the expectations I had been having since reading some reviews, but it's not bad either.
  12. Nas - Illmatic Ulver - Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Tender Prey
  13. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Tender Prey I've been spinning this one since yesterday and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's one of the best albums I've ever heard.
  14. So far: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer Rudimentary Peni - Death Church Shiro-Ishii - Zhongma
  15. ...Said our new ambitious moderator
  16. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Calculating Infinity
  17. I just looked up Element and I do believe having seen the cover of Aeons Past in that thread. Ah well...
  18. Heavy stuff. I have yet to hear anything Kronos made, so I'll have to check that out.
  19. The last week or so has been pretty stressful. A lot's moved to my new house already, but there is still a lot to do. Welcome back, BAN!
  20. Funebre - Children of the Scorn Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Clock DVA - Thirst
  21. I've strayed from Scandinavian BM a long time ago and I now prefer bands that introduce new ideas or a fresher sound. The shoegaze hype isn't my thing either, but Ingrain did a pretty nice job if you ask me.
  22. Garden of Shadows - Oracle of Moon. Look at that, melodeath that doesn't suck! This is now amongest Arch Enemy's Stigmata and AtG's debut as one of my favorite melodic death metal albums. How is that one? I had planned on listening to these guys a long time ago, but for some reason I never did...
  23. Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath This isn't the first time you're mentioned Lluvia IIRC. Are they any good?
  24. The Damned - Phantasmagoria Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother Neurosis - Souls at Zero
  25. Midi

    Funeral Doom

    You mean like the one that dropped last week?
