Autopsy: Mental Funeral

Gottverdamme! This LP always does it for me. The dirty production, the wellcrafted songs and the sick lyrics! If yer into filthy death metal, this is the album to own!

Anaal Nathrakh

Hmm, I really just want to point your nose at Anaal Nathrakh. If you don't know them, I can tell you that they play grim nihilistic drum-machine propelled black metal. It is fast and extremely disturbing to listen to. Most lyrics are indecipherable, but their few moment of clean vox gives you a good look into their sick minds. Their best effort so far must be The Codex Necro (2001) closely followed by When Fire Rains Down From The Sky, Mankind Will Reap As It Has Sown (2003) and Hell Is Empty, And All The Devils Are Here (2007).

The have a new album due any month now, called In The Constellation Of The Black Widow, and I cannae wait to hear it!

Webcomics

Some webcomics I really like:

Questionable Content: The daily life of a bunch of indie rockers. Good stuff! Most of the characters are on twitter too!

Dork Tower: The daily life of a bunch of geeks. Been following this for ages!

xkcd: Fanfuckingtastic!

Cartoon Network

I have a son aged 5. He likes Cartoon Network a lot. I have come to do so too.

Here's a list of the shows I particularly like:

  • Ben 10: Cool show, with loads of action...
  • The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: Morbid humour
  • Power Puff Girls: Too cute, nice villains
  • My Gym Partner's a Monkey: Fart jokes, who wants more?
  • Teen Titans: Cool theme song and cool heroes
  • Chowder: More fart jokes, and a great cast!

There are other cool shows on CN, that I can't remember right now.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed/Kill The Client split 7"

Wow, this has to be one of my all time fave 7"'s. Both bands give some of their best performances on this slab 'o vinyl.

I didn't know Kill The Client prior to listening to this, and man! It is totally cool grindcore, I immidiately went out and bought their albums after listening to this split.

Go get it!

Enemy Soil: Smashes The State 2CD

This great album is a compilation of most of Enemy Soil's output.

There are loads of half-forgotten grindcore gems here. Both man- and drum-machine-propelled.

I actually tend to like the drum-machine-tracks more, but that's just me being a sucker for digital drums...
