Over the last days I listened a lot to King Gizzard & The Lizar Wizard's "PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation", my AOTY2023.

The sequence of the songs "Witchcraft", "Gila Monster" and "Dragon" is 10/10, simply perfect.

As per tradition I pick an album labeled #HeavyMetal from @HailsandAles' #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

I am happy to see 3 "pure" heavy metal releases this week.
Everyone Gets Bloody by the Swedes of Freak Kitchen sounds like I should give it a try.

💿 Everyone Gets Bloody by #FreakKitchen
https://album.link/y/OLAK5uy_miiCfw36SI_X-HhBsU7hrYDU7o8NPfeyU

First song sounds like a song that could work on Eurovision Song Contest... You tell me if that's a bad thing or not.

For this #ThrashThursday I need some classic thrashers.

This song has one of the best intros to one of the best #ThrashMetal albums ever 👇

🎵 Among The Living by #Anthrax

I am typing this hitting the keyboard keys really hard because Among The Living bangs so fucking much 🤘

Here's a #StorySong (by @HeatherInNZ) for #TuneTuesday

In the early 13th century Hadmar III and Heinrich III formed the infamous "Hounds of Kuenring" who were robber nights and would raid ships along the Danube.

Here is an epic #HeavyMetal song that tells their story:

🎵 The Hounds Of Kuenring by Küenring

Fun fact: their father Hadmar II once took captive Richard the Lionheart, King of England. Take that you bloody warm beer drinkers 💪

Good morning people of the Fediverse!

Today we have a public holiday here in 🇦🇹.
Ahead of us lies a 200km trip into the depths of the #Waldviertel. My kid already requested #IronMaiden as road music so I guess we're doing a #Powerslave #PieceOfMind double feature.

Then #Kirtag awaits! This is where 10yo me got #wrestling t-shirts (Bret Heart 💘), toy tractors and where I bought #BravoHits 10 (on CD of course).

So today we bought a school bag for our kid. He'll start school next year so you could say that this was early.
But the bag was "just" 70€ reduced from 250.
250 Euros for a kids school bag.

And everyone I know buys them.

Same with these ridiculously priced Woom bikes.

Apparently parents are easy to milk, because who doesn't want the best for their kids, right?

Well sucks for our kid that I am not willing to pay stupidity tax.
He learned riding the bike on a cheap one last year just fine.

As per tradition (that I neglected for some weeks now), I pick one album labeled #HeavyMetal from @HailsandAles #FletchsFridayReleases and give it a spin.

Since the only heavy metal album on the list isn't available on my streaming service of choice, I'll go with another one.

Heavy/Speed sounds sexy, so here is my choice:

💿 Under The Crooked Claw by Bat

I guess it is time for an update on my #AOTY2024 list.

I have to repeat myself: 2024 is a great year for #ThrashMetal 🤘

The world would be a better place, if everyone would just listen to Eels.

My love is beautiful it's here for the taking,
it's strong and pure and utterly earth shaking
My love has brought me here to show you it's true,
a wretch like me, you make it through

I don't know Sonata Arctica and I didn't know about their existence until @Dad_Wood tooted about them.

Judging from the name and the artwork I expected Nightwish style melodic/symphonic metal from Finland 🇫🇮

Turns out the latter was correct, and for the other stuff?

Well, I guess I need to find out, and there is only one way to do this properly... #Metaljourney 🤘

Sometimes, when I discover a great album of a band I never listened to before, I don't dare to listen to their other stuff because I am afraid I won't like it.

Is it only me?

Finally, with some delay, the easy work is done. The edges will be a lot trickier as it requires some stone cutting.

I'd also like to draw your attention to the bee paradise that is our herb garden on the second image. Imagine the sound when you are sitting on the terrace, it is bzzzzzz bzzzz bzzz all the time. 🐝

A terrace covered with thick concrete tiles layed on black stilts. The edge still shows the underlying concrete slab. To the right is a herb garden.

I had to think about my contribution for #TuneTuesday where @satsuma is asking for #MyPreciousMusic your favourite album on physical media or the one with the best cover art.

But the answer was right in front of me all day.

It is this beauty I got for my 30th Birthday:

Wisst ihr, was mich wirklich glücklich macht?

Kein Geld, kein Auto, kein Pool oder sonstiges materielles Zeug.

Sondern dass jetzt endlich ein #Hausrotschwanz (vermute ich) in den Brutkasten gezogen ist, den ich mit meinem Sohn gebaut habe.

Yes, please occupy one of 2 charging spots with your stinky dinosaur car and make sure to park as close to the line as possible, even though there is plenty of space on the other side.
I should have parked my car (the white one) much closer to you, so you couldn't get in, but I am not as big of an asshole.

For context: this is the parking lot of hospital. Visitors have to pay except if you use the charging stations.

ETA: I am aware that this is a first world problem.
