This short film is quite literally the THE BEST film EVA made! It has everything, EVERYTHING! An utter MASTERPIECE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
And it includes a brief interlude in Scandinavia, and I can confirm, it is so true to my own experience of Norway it took my breath away and spat my coffee out all over my keyboard.
THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND VERISIMILITUDE!
Watch it now, you will not be disappointed!

Sep. 14th, 2023 08:06 pmFor reasons that are obvious to anyone who has been reading my recent entries. Having said that, some people who have been posting but not commenting were not showing on my feed so maybe you have been more active than I realised and I have been "ignoring" you thinking you'd left DW! So PM me if you want back in and I'll recheck the settings.
Brymir, Skálmöld and Finntroll in Oslo.
Nov. 20th, 2022 12:19 pmGig review of Finntroll, Skálmöld and Brymir in Oslo, click pic or here to see.

Vreth spotted me in the front row, and came over to shake my hand... in the middle of the gig... while singing... twice! I was not expecting that at all, I mean, he was in the middle of a gig, kind of busy! I was able to have a very quick chat with him after the gig, and er, yeah. He remembers me. GAH.
Also... new discovery (for me) Skálmöld where damned good. Epic Icelandic skald-singing. Read up in my review and check 'em out.

Nov. 12th, 2022 10:22 pmThis is mind blowing... but wait I hear you cry! This doesn't apply to ME! Like fuck it does, if you have ever had to battle through a system, beset with blocks... you will recognise what she is saying. BLAARDY HELL!
Gig review! WARNING! It's fucking Watain so if you have a delicate constitution beware. Some pretty gross shit, (but rather fun to write up!)
Click here or click pic to read, but YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

I've been having trouble with the block editing in Wordpress, chunks that I wrote vanished and had to be re-written. (I think this is connected to the network issues I have working from Bumcrack.) However, I did a copy paste backup of the text to Dreamwidth and discovered that the alt text is working!
It is a lot of extra effort to alt text the photos, but if I can I will try and go back adding alt to previous entries. If nothing else I can try and describe the humour in the photos.

TrollfesT Gig Review.
Oct. 28th, 2022 04:06 pmPinkbusting, flamingofisting TrollfesT. My review here or click pic to see.

I have added alt text onto each photo according to the instructions for wordpress (using the block editor) yet for some reason the sodding alt text is not showing up even though it is there in the editor. Can someone check? Can you see it? How do I get it to work? AAARGH! This is really frustrating! Since my reviews are about music bands, I thought I ought to try and get alt text working for any sight impaired fans, so the fact that the alt text doesn't seem to be working is really annoying.
I mean the alt text on the photos of the review I wrote on wordpress here, which is my public blog. Not the single picture here. Yeah I know, clicking that extra link is a gigantic hardship.

What the actual fuck?
Sep. 27th, 2022 07:34 pmA lethargic, empathetic road movie about finding one’s parents — for everyone who just wants to laze about!
Having resigned itself to the fact that it will just end up on someone’s plate, Gudetama just wants to be lazy all the time. But, swept up by the go-getting, overbearing chick Shakipiyo, it leaves the refrigerator and heads out into the world. Together, these polar opposites go on an adventure to find their mother!
I feel I've just hallucinated.

Topless Fragrant Dolk, the Mighty Abbath!
Jul. 4th, 2022 08:26 pmSecond, (and last) weird review of Tons of Rock. I'm pretty pleased with how well some of these pics came out, and Abbath was a scream! Click here or click the pic to see.

Skunk Anansie
Jun. 22nd, 2022 06:20 pmMini review of Skunk Anansie gig here or click the pic.
I'm too hot and tired to write a clever review, but worth seeing the vid of Skin playing the theremin.

Early CGI was horrifying.

Gary Numan in Oslo!

Eurovision 2022
May. 15th, 2022 07:23 pmFuck me... this video, it's a tear jerker. (I'd heard that the band are returning to the front line in Ukraine now.)
There has been the odd comment of..."well of course Ukraine was going to win." (Implying that the song itself was not good enough.) I confess, I am personally not a fan of the rapped bits but the other vocals are haunting and mesmerising which I utterly loved, and they were great on stage too.
For those who do not know how points are given, the scoring is more significant than at first glance. You see, half the points are given by a team of judges in 40 countries, and Ukraine got average points overall. It was only when the peoples' votes came in that Ukraine won by a landslide number of points from the phone ins. A political message? Certainly, but not a bad one, the people of Europe support Ukraine, albeit the sort of people that watch Eurovision. That is actually a more subtly powerful message than might be imagined at a cursory glance.

Oranssi Pazuzu and Xenoblight reviews.
Apr. 29th, 2022 11:10 amI went a bit berserk on the Oranssi Pazuzu review, it is quite hatstand, but then the band are pretty hatstand too. Cheers to
luxmarina who sent me a few tips to get me going!

The Xenoblight review is more normal... almost. Click here for the review or click the pic below.

I sent my Dark Fortress comedy review to Inferno, but they did not post it up. However, someone there has posted it to their facebook as my hits on that review suddenly rocketed.
It's a bit unnerving, as almost no one has given me any feedback. Are they laughing with me or at me?

Dark Fortress gig review.
Apr. 22nd, 2022 03:05 pmFirst of my reviews is up, and it is pretty weird (though I confess I did enjoy writing it.) No response from the band yet. 😆 They asked for a weird review!
