What's on your mind?

I've said it before and I'll say it again Mindy: move to Australia. We literally do not give a fuck about anything but having fun 24/7...no wonder our economy is going down the shitter

So...we can expect a new My Dying Bride album this september and will probably, according to Calvin and Andrew, the most heavy MDB-album they've ever written. For the album, they drew a lot of inspiration from the first two albums. Also, their show was really, really good with a lot of old stuff. For those who want to know the setlist: Your River The Songless Bird A Kiss to Remember Catherine Blake Turn Loose the Swans She is the Dark The Cry of Mankind The Thrash of Naked Limbs God Is Alone Hopefully I have the interview worked out somewhere in the following weeks, I'll post it here then Besides a great show of My Dying Bride, I really enjoyed Graspop. Met a lot of really nice people and friends and have even a sort of date with a girl coming up who I met there, whaha Also, I saw a lot of good shows (and some not so good ) with Alcest as ultimate highlight of the festival. A short summary of the bands I saw: ++ My Dying Bride The Ocean Alcest Winterfylleth Children of Bodom (I'm not kidding, lol) + Der Weg Einer Freiheit Aborted Orphaned Land Orchid Kataklysm Lacuna Coil Primordial Slipknot Den Saakaldte Scorpions Faith No More +/- Morgoth Judas Priest Parway Drive Septicflesh Amorphis - Evergrey Ihsahn Counterparts -- Cradle of Filth

So many bands say "it's the heaviest thing we've ever done" then release something that doesn't match that description. Having said that new MDB has me super excited. Loved A Map Of All Our Failures so I expect good things here. Finding myself excited for Book Of Souls in spite of myself as well. I know Iron Maiden have done one good album and a couple decent songs since Fear Of The Dark and I know I pretty much hated Final Frontier but still...Up The Irons.

That sounds promising although not sure Aaron has the harsh vocals left in him. Last few attempts have not been convincing........still, excited to hear as the last 3-4 albums have started to get a bit monotonous. Are they using Mags again production-wise?? Perhaps they could do with a change to spice things up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My brother drew this to poke fun of the inept yet pretentious art scene we have here in New Mexico, especially in Taos and Santa Fe:

I feel like throwing rat baits over our neighbour's fence right now. Her yappy little mutt has been barking pretty much non-stop for FOUR AND A HALF FUCKING HOURS!!! At this point I think every single one of her neighbours has complained including me but she can't shut the thing up.

After having seen them live, I would say that he still has it. Their set list that Yobo posted above was similar to when I saw them, and they crushed those heavier numbers. I'm looking forward to it. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Trying desperately to drown out that yappy fucking dog watching a movie and playing music but you know what? That's just as bad when you're trying to get sleep so hopefully the thing quiets down soon or I may jump the fence and kick it to death.

It's the owner that needs kicking to death. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

So Yobo, Ihsahn wasn't any good live?

You could always go next door, knock on the door, and ask them if they could please take the dog inside it keeps barking and you are trying to sleep?

Haha, I dunno, I would not like crazy bugs around me in the summer time and crazy water everywhere.......

He had to stop a several times due to some technical issues, so yeah, it was kinda dissapointing. Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk

Steve Irwin told me that the most venomous snake in the world is in the desert, and that taipans and brown snakes are distributed all over the continent including the non-tropical regions. And those fucking funnel web spiders are everywhere. And I can never go for a fucking swim in the ocean because of those fucking jellyfish! Don't lie to me man, Australia will murder me twelve times before I left the airport.

[GratuitousTK]

Oh yeah and giant fucking crocodiles that can survive in salt water! What the fuck man.

[RelentlessOblivion]

That is exactly what we want you to think... The Box Jellyfish is only found around the tropics and only during the wet season. No cities in the desert and the Funnel-Web and Red-Back spiders are way less common then you might think mate.

It seems at times like a lot of that Australian lore is internet hype, but then I see things like a newspaper article about an Australian man that wrestled a shark to save his friend, or see a video of a 90 year old man that can barely walk kick a poisonous snake it the face when it lunges at him. It sounds like a crazy place, but people adapt, like how I have adapted to not be taken out by the Mormon secret police. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

How does it feel living in a state where a minority of the population has complete political control over the governmental apparatus?

[RelentlessOblivion]

I imagine it would suck wrinkled goat balls...hope you weren't planning on eating today
