Not looking forward to it, but I had better go ahead soon and try to retrieve some packages from a neighbor I don’t know that I’ve every talked to before 😕
Amazon not only split an order up into multiple packages for no obvious reason, they came while I was asleep and left them all at a neighbor’s. Glad they found somebody home at that time, but still. Wish the delivery person had just put them over the back gate again, since it hasn’t been rainy today or anything.
Sir Cecil Chubb, who’d had no intention of bidding at the sale, bought it ‘on a whim’ as a gift for his wife who, it’s claimed, was none too pleased.
For the price of £6,600, the equivalent of £392,00 in today’s money, Sir Cecil Chubb’s intention that a “Salisbury man ought to buy it” was realised.
The story is from 2010, and one inflation calculator is showing that as the equivalent of £658,963.12 in 2018 (£529,140 in 2010). Idk which figure is closer, but that still sounds pretty cheap at auction now.
Oh man just watching what’s going on in Massachusetts with all the explosions and house fires. Nightmare.
just say no to natural gas infrastructure! they’ve been trying to build these explodable gas lines through small towns in new hampshire for export to europe as well. they skimp on building materials and maintenance just to make more money for themselves,and don’t seem to care about putting people in danger. currently they are trying to put a pipeline right next to a water reservoir that serves a major city in new hampshire. great idea! this is awful.
There are plenty of Neo Nazis in black metal, which is unfortunate. The genre is still fantastic. But here’s a few bands that you can check out that are most definitely not Nazi garbage and aren’t even European!
ASIA:
Rudra
Salem
Melechesh
Arsames (they’re death metal but apparently it’s illegal in Iran but Iran has a LOT of good metal)
Chthonic (blackened death metal but they’re awesome and from Taiwan)
Gallhammer
AMERICA (not just the states):
Agalloch
Wolves in the Throne Room
Alma Negra
Brujeria (more death metal but they need an honorable mention)
METAL BANDS I KNOW FOR A FACT ARENT NEO NAZIS BECAUSE THE BAND MEMBERS ARE CHILL PEOPLE:
Primordial
Enslaved
Isengard (tbh if it is named after something Tolkien, we are in the clear)
Immortal (Abbath is a good dude!)
Dark Funeral (they’re more Satanic so)
Gorgoroth (Gaahl is openly gay and they’re lyrics are also Satanic)
Darkthrone (also Satanic and Ferniz is a good dude)
Falkenbach (solo project and it’s more about Germanic paganism. I haven’t heard anything problematic yet)
Myrkur (a solo project ran by a woman!)
Behemoth (Nergal is pretty anti-Christian and critical about the Polish government)
Wikipedia and other sites are a good way to check on whether or not their political affiliations are concerning. Unfortunately, a lot of Nazism is in the beginning of black metal (thanks, Varg) but also strongly anti-Christian.
Black metal is diverse, thankfully. Rudra’s lyrics are sometimes the Vedic scriptures and then Wolves in the Throne Room is more about the environment. Black metal exists in a lot of countries and it can be politically critical of their governments (Chthonic) or it is a tool to express yourself when you can’t always (Arsames). It’s grown, people experiment with it, and people don’t stay in the box that Mayhem wanted to be in.
A good book to read to is “Lords of Chaos” that gets into the nitty gritty history of black metal. HAVE FUN.
