Here’s the first video off the latest Cradle of Filth album – Godspeed on the Devil’s Thunder: The Life and Grimes of Gilles de Rais

Mainly because I just got myself some tickets to the just announced tour.

And yeah…. that show isn’t yet on sale :-p

Lobo kicks ass.

All of it.

I’d love to see a superhero film in a few years that is just Lobo beating every single character from the recent comic movie craze.

Sometimes I wish I could format parts of my brain….

Quiz is here, I found it at the Unreasonable Faith blog

For All Nightmare Long…. one of my favourite songs off Death Magnetic

The clip is awesome…. the band isn’t in it, its an alternate history doco about soviets, tunguska, alien-spores-causing-zombies and…. I say this is just as good as the One video.

“Incredibly cool and beautiful singer Amanda Palmer (of Dresden Dolls fame) has been forced to search for a new record label after Roadrunner refused to promote her latest single, video and album. Why? Because she refused to let them remove shots of her “fat” belly from the video for Leeds United (see above), and is therefore “uncommercial”.”

Frankly…. she’s a little skinny….

So…. it was 2 long years ago when I made that post and I thought I’d take some time to write a little something to recap where I’m at.

Firstly, and most obviously, I haven’t relapsed. I’m still proudly anti-god. No one has pulled me back from the wilderness (not that any have really tried). For a while there part of me, a small part, actually wanted someone to do so. I was hoping someone would show me the where I was wrong, or what I was missing, or in some way lead me back to the light.

This didn’t happen and now I’m glad, because I don’t want to be saved. It isn’t true. The bible is just the incoherent ramblings of a bunch of ancient (but not as a ancient as the traditions say) Jews. 90% of it total bullshit; the other 10% is totally obvious. Sure it is interesting from a historical point of view, but only because it isn’t historical despite the claims it might make.

Secondly, I’m still on campus (although not right now since classes aren’t on). This sucks, but only because it doesn’t pay me enough money to get the fuck out of dodge and get my own place. I enjoy teaching at uni, but that enjoyment doesn’t pay the bills.

Now I have been trying to get out of there. There was the whole music college debacle, wherein I applied to, auditioned for, and was accepted to JMC Academy, but I’m unable to go since the stupid government won’t pay me any damn money. I’ve also been applying for other jobs, and there are some promising leads there. Hopefully there will be some news on that front soon.

Now, some stuff has changed since I wrote that post.

Firstly I went through that dark period…. which was interesting, and something I ultimately had to go through. It sucked. I drank too much booze, and was doing it everyday. I thought about suicide, and was doing it everyday. I got through it mostly because of the few people who kept commenting and reading my blog (and mostly it was just emblazoned).

Secondly, there is chaotimusic.com, my music site. Where I’ve been releasing a song a week since July 31, 2007. I’ve had 3415 total plays…. and have been played on a bunch of podcasts as well. Which is pretty good for my obscure brand of mostly metal.

Thirdly…. I’m thin, and I’m going to stay that way.

Fourthly…. I have a girlfriend…. and that is going awesome. More than awesome. Like she makes me feel totally more awesome than Jesus ever did.

So…. that’s where I’m at, a mostly better place than I was when I was a brainwashed Jesus zombie. Sure, it would be nice to get the whole job thing to somewhere more stable, but I haven’t been suicidal all year, and its not like I’m totally broke. Just a little broke.

And Neil Patrick Harris as…. himself?

“Lyrically speaking, it’s going to be more of what you’ve come to expect from Alice In Chains: rainbows, kitty cats, bubble gum, and skateboards. Words and songs that make you want to go to the mall and buy hair care products.” -> talking about the new Alice in Chains album
