My dreams are usually pretty bizarre and I think it's because of the meds I take. I had one the other night about some girl who was "sick" (you could see her veins in her face) but other than that, she seemed fine, I just remember saying in the dream "That's (whoever she was), she's sick right now" and she was sitting up in a bed in like a big cavern or something and I remember she seemed annoyed when I said that.

Other dreams I have are usually about this city, in my dreams it's right on the border of NYC & New Jersey and I dream about going through the South Bronx a lot (but it's never the way those places are in real life). The NYC/NJ dreams are reoccurring and reoccur rather frequently.

I also have dreams about being 35 and being back in high school, or dreams about being on a plane going to Norway, Japan, or Russia a lot.

I've been bored out of my mind thanks to the pandemic. I have a very morbid fascination so naturally a few weeks ago I started binge watching documentaries about serial killers and spending all day re

We binged the crap out of the Great British Baking Show over the winter and wouldn't you know it, I had tons of relaxing and even fulfilling baking dreams. Definitely a better night's sleep than I got

My stupidest dreams are in shorter sleeps. I only sleep 2-3 hours at a time these days but if I am asleep only an hour that's when I tend to wake from dreams, and the sillier of them usually happen in the early hours of the morning around 1 or 2 AM.

Kk How come you only sleep for 2-3 hours at a time. 

Interesting having silly dreams between those hours. 😁 My silly dreams are when I'm listening to the radio during light sleep. There daft.

My bad sleeping habits have come from two things. Long haul truck driving for too many years where I was restricted by log book hours to no more than 18 hours driving in a 24 hour block. Because it wasn't often possible/convenient to take 6 hours at a time I'd pull up on the side of the road or at a truck stop and kip for a few hours, then kick the tyres and get back on the road. Rinse and repeat for 5 days then come home and spend a day or so barely sleeping at home or just get back in the truck and do it all again. The second reason is because I didn't listen to experts and doctors etc who told me when I was younger that getting into bad sleeping habits are a lot easier than returning to good sleeping habits.

My dreams lately have been about stupid people, me included. I don't remember much of what is happening in the dream and what I do doesn't really connect to anything but the common factor is people doing stupid things. Those who I don't know personally have ridiculous cartoon faces that seem to try and reinforce how silly they are but don't necessarily reflect why they are silly. But the annoying thing is the continuation. I don't ever remember having so many dreams where they span across different naps during the one night, usually once I wake the dream is gone and doesn't come back, to either the waking or sleeping mind.

That beats the dreams my dad has. Often there about lots of random mechanical things occurring and problem solving. It's lots of fun hearing about them. Lots of actions little dialogue.

Your dreams with the ridiculous cartoon faces are more interesting. 

No memorable dreams for me.

I've got very weird dreams all the time. This month they're kinda normal, there's my girlfriend and they're nice. But few weeks ago I had a dream, where my close friend tried to rape me (I'm not gay nor him) and I killed him with a silverware knife. Most of the time, when I remember the dream, someone died in it. Once I killed even a Hitler. Like wtf?!

Dang that's brutal shit!

My nightmares aren't monsters or violence, they're everyday ones that feature my parents who I have not spoken to in over 9 years!

Again on time: Imagine you went back in time and stopped World War II before it ever started. The US and Germany then wouldn't have began researching and building nuclear weapons which could be a good thing except the Russians still would have built them meaning they would have forced the US to surrender during the Cold War and Communism would have spread world wide. Alternatively Nuclear Fission would never have been discovered and we would be consuming fossil fuels at an even greater pace then we are presently. Those are just two possibilities resulting from preventing just one event from occuring. Of course changing something far less significant could actually cause even more harm.

 

Probably not on either of the two.

 

No WWII = No Cold War.  USSR came out of WWII as a superpower complete with  Eastern European empire.  Before that it was just a regional power and it's main concern was Imperial Japan (they fought border wars right up to 1939).  

The European powers also wouldn't have been bankrupted by the war so would have been able to stifle anti-colonial movements lot easer (especially as no supercharged USSR to bankroll independence movements and no radical change in western thinking in relation to colonies).

 

Basically WWII destroyed Europe as a source of power and took out Japan and Germany but also Britain and France as major political players.  The USSR and US were attained previously unimaginable levels of power.

 

Also WWII opened the flood gates to mass consumerism.  US industrial output expanded massively during the war and that was just rediverted to the civilian sector (first in US then elsewhere).  The mass of surplus WWII equipment was used to cheaply revolutionise transport and industry be it trucks. tanks converted to tractors, bombers converted to civilian airliners, radios for communication etc.

Also the technological advancements made during the war had massive ramifications for the post war world  not just jet engines and rockets but industrial mass manufacturing techniques electronics  etc.

 

I don't know how the world would have progressed without WWII.  But I think it would have been a much slower development level.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
