The Lair of The Dark Knight

Anyone fancy going to Rock of Ages 6th Birthday at Leeds Uni's Mine Venue next Saturday (5th July). Advance entry is only £4.50. :D

Quote:
"Two rooms of rock and metal every 1st Saturday of every month at Leeds University's Mine Venue. We have 2 rooms, one playing rock, one playing metal (duh).

Featuring Heaven's Basement live, and burlesque from the Glitter Kittens.

The Rock room plays: Ac/dc to Wildhearts via Aerosmith Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses, Kiss, Led Zep, Motley Crue, Ozzy, Pearl Jam, Queen, Rainbow, Skid Row, Terrorvision, Thin Lizzy, Velvet Revolver... hell you get the idea. It's a rock n roll party playing everything from the 60's to good rock stuff now but a good 50% is based in the best rawk years ever - the 80's Hell yeah!

The Metal room plays: Archenemy to Rob Zombie via Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine, Children Of Bodom, Disturbed, Dragonforce, Fear Factory, Killswitch Engage, Machine Head, Megadeth, Metallica, Nightwish, Nine Inch Nails, Pantera, Rammstein, Slayer, System Of A Down, Tool, Trivium and lots of other good metal shit including power, death & thrash metal.

Featuring the best rock & metal bands we can get playing before the club night: We have had The Glitterati, Rattlesnake Remedy, Conquest of Steel, Kid Ego, Red Star Rebels and loads of others play for us in the last year!. Add to this draught bitter & lager is only £1.50 a pint before 11pm & Double Jack Daniels & mixer is £2.95 all night. What more do you want!?"

Leave me a comment or drop me an email if you fancy going. Pweeeeeeeeeese? :3

Wow.

Just wow.

I had a slot of one and a half hours to inject some metal into the con. Not only was it my best set to date but a lot more folks turned up than had done at FC this year. I was seriously buzzing with excitement; every song got everyone dancing hard.

Seeing people dancing and soaking in sweat is... awe inspiring, because you know that they're loving the music so much.

I'll do a proper post later, right now I'm gonna sleep. XD

Oh man, where does time go?

Work
Generally things are going OK. Working OOH is good. As expected I'm really not in the mood to do anything whilst I'm working, which is only understandable considering the 12hr shifts. The weeks off (one out of every three) are a $DEITY send; I've really been able to crack on with stuff during them.

For example: r4nger5 and I have been able to get the pilot episode of R4nger5 TV done and online. We haven't got as much feedback as we had expected but I suppose that's not surprising consider that it is a pilot.

Fursuiting

$DEITY'S-SON, I really want to go fursuiting. The last two times I've been fursuiting this year have been the LF meet at the end of March and when frost_t_wolf and shivonhusky came over. Fursuiting nao plz. XD
Ah well, CF is just around the corner. :)

Music

Skindred has been filling my ears with awesome recently. <3

London

I am so missing the LondonFurs furmeets. I really wish I could go, but every single LF meet falls on a day when I am working, and with ConFuzzled and EuroFurence taking up my holiday allowance for the rest of the year I can see it being next year when I get to attend an LF meet.

Does anyone know if there's anything planned to happen with furs in London that falls on the weekend before the tri-weekly meets?

PnP RPGs

I really want to get into running a weekly Pen and Paper RPG once I move into my own place in Leeds, but I'm actually having trouble finding a group to join. I probably just need to find a group of people I can game comfortably with and just invite them over. Or maybe something can be done via Skype... *ponderponder*

Damon

OMG Damon's moving soon! *dance* ^_^

And that's it for this post really.

I love the sound of Steelpans; there's just something so haunting about it, something odd about such a wonderful sound coming from the bottom of a steel drum.

This is probably why I like "Sunchyme" by Dario G so much. :)

OK folks, I'd like you to help me expand my Electronic Music collection.

Please leave a comment with the name of an EM artist that I should listen to; it could be anything: Ambient, Club, Dance, Drum n Bass, Hardcore, Industrial, Jungle, Rave, Techno, Acid House, House, EBM, etc, etc.

One stipulation is that, unless you think that the artist will really impress me, the artist must have been active from the very late 80's (88+) onwards.

And now it's over to you! :)

If I have to hear the Savage Garden song "Affirmation" one more smegging time, I'm going to go something something... >.<

It's... gah it's a huge piece of year-old faeces on rhye. I can't even explain how much it sucks in words; it sucks beyond language.

I mean jeez, the Vengaboys were less annoying. I'd even settle for Las Ketchup or the Macarena! c.c

Just my personal opinion, of course.

Thankfully I have Dehtklok on my phone. <3

Of course I won't be playing everything there, it's just what I'm taking to use and take requests from. Speaking of taking requests, the main reason I have so many Opeth albums there is that most of the requests I got last year were for Opeth songs. ;)

My question to those of you who are going, what would you like to hear that isn't in that list? All will be considered. :)

So, comment plz. :>

Call me a heathen, but Queen are the best thing musically to have come out of Britain. Far far better than The Beatles.

I mean, come on; Bohemian Rhapsody is the best song ever, it's a scientific fact.

And anyone who says that they "just did rock music" needs to listen to more of their stuff.

Lastly, Breakthru gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.

Jeez, I LOVE Dethklok.
