Listening while having a quiet beer or two.
Written in the aftermath of September 11th so lyrically it has aged, the riffs on this though are Gary Holt at his monstrous best. Atrocity Exhibition up there as one of their best albums.

What a classic, it's been a while without listening anything from them.

A very political Taiwanese band.

Good taste mate, a bit of everything there. Soilwork, tool and fear factory will be my top picks there for sure.

Worked 30 hours straight on the weekend. Jamiroquai helped me a lot.

Squawking magpies!
Those feathered cunts have been squawking in a tree outside my window for 6 fucking weeks now!
They are doing my head in.
Are they a protected species? or can I fire a shot gun and finish off the noisy fuckers!

And now I'm back down the rabbit hole of Band Maid again

Youtube is also dropping Maximum de Hormone back into my recomendations, which I'm not complaining about.

got girls talking about love songs. Sure they are nice and make you feel gooey inside, bit I tried to find one with a bit of edge, yet still feminine.

Record and remix it into the finest Thrash Screamo Dubstep Country Trance Pop mix in existence.

Share none of the profits with them.

That'll show em' who the superior mammal is.

Another great aussie band. Fuck we have good music down under.

Pink Floyd and U2.

Bill Withers probably got more pussy than us combined. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bEeaS6fuUoA

Apparently this song is based on a true story.
Some dude drowning, and another bloke not giving a fuck.

Seeing my Viking of a boss dancing to this Whitney Houston banger was the highlight of my year so far.
Crank this tune on a decent set of speakers, and if you dont bust a dance move, you have no soul

https://youtu.be/TvnYmWpD_T8
Ah Prince..

https://youtu.be/eFTLKWw542g
William Joel.
Classic.

Plus a whole bunch of UB40, Mariah Carey, The Police.... it's an 80's week in my head.
Which is ironic as fuck, coz I am a black clad scary looking motherfucker.

With a polish ML who spotifys or youtube from our phones - we've played russian folk songs (shes got a masters in languages russian, czech, polish, english), Seekers - Carnival is Over which steals the riff from a russian song , New years day - u2 about Polish solidarity movement and Holy Grail by H&C - Napoleons failed attempt at Russia. ML claims that the Polish were the only ones to capture Moscow. Not sure thats true and it was a Polish-Lithuanian force anyway.
Still the music adds so much to the sessions imo.

She must be a big fan of the Polish Winged Hussars.
Those guys were fearsome warriors.
One of the best cavalries of all time. They won numerous battles, perhaps most notably they turned the tide in the Battle of Vienna (1683) and thus stopped the Ottoman/Muslim conquest of Western Europe.

Digging November rain too. Bit of an all time fav.

The ending to the song, often cut by moronic radio stations, is utter brilliance, and resonates rather strongly with me.

You’re welcome

Burt Bacharach and Hal David.
Burt was a fucking genius for sure but Hal doesn't get the kudos he deserves.
Hal wrote the brilliant, witty, sexy, "shallow but deep" lyrics to most of Burt's tunes.
Dionne Warwick probably does the best job of the Burt and Hal songs but really even I sound good good singing those songs, they are just so fucking brilliant.
