I have just had a conversation with a very nice but sadly completely unintelligent man at Amazon. You see despite the fact it is all stored in a Cloud if both me and my girlfriend want to use the same PC to access our individual Amazon Music libraries that is forbidden.  I have just pointed out in a rather long and very sarcastic email that whilst it is of obvious massive inconvenience to Amazon and its digital services that people live together and like different things it is nonetheless a reality.

Amazon offering me to be able to access my library on up to 10 devices is useless to me since I am firstly not a Bond villain and therefore wouldn't have 10 different devices and secondly only have my dolby surround sound speakers connected to the sub-woofer on my PC and listening to the quality on a Samsung tablet by comparison is rather shit!

Amidst all my sarcasm and scathing wit I did point out that I simply wished to understand why I can use one Amazon Library per device, since I can very easily now go on to the Amazon site and use my library (FROM THE MOTHERFUCKING CLOUD!!!) very easily.

That's it I am going back to vinyl.

In an unexpected twist - Amazon have sent me a full explanation and have resolved my issue by removing the restriction on my account.

More proof that they're just handicapping people as part of a social experiment. Within the week, you'll be asked to fill out a multiple choice survey with subtly odd answers. You'll email the company with a list of complaints. The next day, you'll be contacted by government agents posing as "customer service". A half hour after your conversation, a nondescript man in a decent suit will appear at your door and offer you a job. After some thought, you'll refuse; three days afterwards, you'll be found in a ditch in Surrey, having "broken your neck" in an "improbable accident" involving hedge trimming. 

There’s been a spate of this sort of thing happening. Play dumb. Don't get sucked in.

I doubt British intelligence would be so sloppy. More likely they would, upon that fateful home visit, sneak a slow acting toxin into Macabre's cup of tea. Some tastless, undetectable, agent which blocks signals from the brain to internal organs.

Not even MI5 would get out of my house alive.

where the FUCK does this seemingly accepted culture of men refusing to be clean in their living situations come from? in the case of my roommates, it really seems like nobody ever taught them how to upkeep a kitchen (or house, or anything for that matter) they just relied on mom to clean up their mess. Even then, how in the good blue fuck of zuess's taint do you not learn that things explode in the microwave by 25? Thats one reason I'm eternally glad I left my parents house at an early age and learned to sustain a living environment on my own. Fuck forbid I catch one of them with a broom in their hands. And they wonder why they havent had a female over since we got this place two years ago (and on the same token, why I have to spend the entire afternoon doing said maintenance before I have one). 6 more weeks, 6 more fucking weeks...

Sounds like you're living with clones of my brother. It baffles me that someone who gets paid to clean residential and industrial properties can't keep his own fucking room looking at the very least neat. I have to shut the door to that pig sty 'cause the odour emanating from it makes me gag. I still live at home but I know how to clean and I'm virtually fucking blind so it's not that hard. TAKE SOME FUCKING PRIDE IN YOUR LIVING SPACE!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I can only speak for myself, but - if they're anything like me they assume the latter and the former results. I only keep things even faintly clean because if I don't I start losing self-esteem and get all mopey, but I'd be a good deal cleaner still if I thought the odds of having (interesting, attractive) female company were any higher than a Congolese blizzard.

The other thing is that I thought I was reasonably clean but I got very rudely bitched at by my f*cking shitstain of a flatmate early this summer, so I might be a little more touchy about this than most people.

Ive never lived with roommates, but i wanted to vomit each time i visited a friend that has. Nothing was ever clean in the kitchen, the bathrooms were disgusting, trash everywhere.. I would probably leave as soon as i could if a guy brought me to such a dirty place. :/

Well Iceni if you do some day meet a woman who is both interesting and attractive she will likely be repelled upon entering the fetid, nacho cheese smelling, unit.

Such is the paradox of my being.

Hypocrites and people who fake being nice only to bitch behind someone's back. Yep it's a double rant because I've had to put up with that shit for two fucking days. Firstly if you don't like people talking shit about you behind your back DON'T FUCKING DO IT TO OTHER PEOPLE!!! Don't then drag other people into the fight you started and lash out at them when they don't back you up because you're spewing a bunch of shit. For fuck sake it's like being back in high school...no wait I was at an all boys school and we resolved conflict by punching the crap out of each other for a few minutes then going back to being cool. That's more like primary school shit.

 

Second if you have a problem with what someone is doing or how they are treating someone else step the FUCK up and tell them to their face. Don't wait until they can't hear you to start bitching about the shit they do that drives you nuts. How the fuck does that help anyone? If you don't have the guts to tell someone TO THEIR FACE then sit down and shut the fuck up. It pisses me off no end when people do that shit. If I have a problem I'm gonna tell the person what I think and whatever happens from there happens. I'm not going to wait until that person/those people are out of earshot to start running my mouth. People that do that should just grow the fuck up.

 

Yep lots of profanity and I won't apologise 'cause I'm pissed off.

^I agree with everything!

Grown up men (18 and up) who arent capable of cleaning up after themselves or cook a decent meal, or do any work around the house. What the fuck, come on! And people telling me how to do stuff because they do it differently.. I KNOW HOW ITS DONE, GTFO. :/

Bands that have european tours and then just skip countries because theyre too small, even if  they have to travel through this smaller country to get to the glorious big one that deserves a concert. :P Happens way too often.

Bike shops that say they'll have your bike repaired, serviced, and returned that day then leave it untouched for a fortnight. A week ago I made it clear how important it was to get the bike into usable condition again ASAP. It won't be ready for at least another week so they said today. That's another three weeks I basically can't train making my Tuesday night hit-outs all but meaningless. I'm in the shit with one of my coaches as it is and the longer I go without training the more trouble I will find myself in. What's worse is this bike shop sponsors the tandem road team I ride for and know the only way for me to train presently is on the trainer due to my by now well documented hamstring tendon tear. This right here is why most of the team get their bikes looked after elsewhere. Worst part is that I could not be more motivated to train. I'm absolutely desperate to get cracking on my 12 month fitness plan so I can finally get back into the form that had the whole team talking about how well I was riding (until the crash) in April of last year.

Fucking hell, the gf has arranged a birthday party for her sister at our house and that means all the racist, drunken, immature and frankly abhorrent dross that usually appear at these events for her family will rock up and make a scene inevitably. I am already threatening to stay away and not bother traveling home that weekend. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

    • 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!

    • 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. 

      4/5
