@m0xee Sun was a bit weird lately, but i guess nothing new would fit. How are you doing?

@admitsWrongIfProven
Apart from the inconsistent sleep schedule… Not bad!
I still hope that the snow will settle in in a few days — this will make me, a Winter person, feel better 😁

@m0xee inconsistent, i can see that...
A winter person, yet you hope the snow will settle?

I want supplies to last a year and snow that will not settle.

@admitsWrongIfProven
I'm not such a hardcore snow fan, but I'm even less of a fan of when it's there and in a few hours it's no longer there. The snow has to act more decisively instead of this on-again off-again shit 😅

@m0xee You mean like the powers that be, destruction of the human race, doubled down?

I mean the snow, the goings on by nature are just a silly little thing. We can enjoy or not, the difference is just making a tea or fretting.
The bigger thing is what we do. Force people to work in the office, perhaps? Can nature even keep up?

@m0xee Sepultura - Rattamahatta is pretty nice

@m0xee Oh, and power metal. Power metal playing everywhere.
What's your poison? Sonata arctica, Freedom call, Gamma ray?

Or perhaps In flames, UDO? Say, do you love metal or are you a different persuation?

@admitsWrongIfProven
From that era, some Judas Priest maybe… I do like early Tiamat, I like heavier prog stuff: third incarnation of King Crimson (circa 2000s), Tool and all that, I do like stoner, sludge… Neurosis — again, that would be post- probably.
But I won't call myself a metalhead per se, I like some heavier stuff in my "diet", but I like it diverse — not limiting myself to it.

@m0xee Not limiting is correct, in any case. And Tiamat is nice, you won't get any controversy from me there.

What is your purpose? You come off relaxed, but you don't exactly select your friends like you want to be forgotten.

You have been playing around and gotten my interest, please do say what moves you.

@admitsWrongIfProven
I guess that's exactly what I'm doing — playing around.
I was always too paranoid to enjoy social media, but I got less so with years and Fedi offers way more in matters of privacy, so this hit the sweet spot for me — I suppose right now I'm doing what everyone was doing in the late 2000s and 2010s, at times only figuring out for myself what people already have — Fedi definitely seems not the worst place to hang about🤷

@m0xee Say, how old are you? I'm a tad above 40 now.

@admitsWrongIfProven
Hah, about the same!

TBH, one of the things that don't come easy to me when interacting online is figuring out person's age — sometimes you meet someone who doesn't seem like a bad person and yet for some reason you don't "vibe" well together — then you figure out they are much younger. Not a bad thing of course and I'm not prejudiced against people much younger or much older than me, but I suppose growing up with different things around you still shows at times.

@m0xee What fedi offers is free choice... no algorithm, you meet who you choose to meet. Yeet that shit if there ever emerges some algorithm that guides you.
I was there for the first wave, and i got sucked in thinking there was something, but it was the same shit as in school. Yeah, it was that bad.
We met around hyolobrika, right? Toss that fucker a real heart-felt thank you. He really is as weird as me ^^

Thank you for opening up, just as your music suggestions (second link, orange session), your talk is keeping me awake, in a good sense.

@admitsWrongIfProven
This is one of the bands that I enjoy immensely for the past 2-3 years: https://elephanttreeband.bandcamp.com/album/elephant-tree
They have lots of classic heavier rock vibes, but sound modern at the same time.

Again, probably no the stuff "proper" metalhead would enjoy, but these guys are cool too: https://re-stoned.bandcamp.com/album/orange-session
I've had a couple of records of theirs, but I was still very much surprised to learn that they are in fact a Russian band — I have to see them live, I think they are amazing!

@admitsWrongIfProven
I mean, yeah… I enjoy heavy guitars — who doesn't, right? But I like it with a little bit of psychedelia and "progginess" thrown in. Speaking of Tiamat: Clouds is an amazing album, but Edlund's experimentations took it even further, Wildhoney is top-notch stuff. His later output is so-so though.

@m0xee Hey, i'll head to bed, a bit tired now. Your music suggestions rock, very nice. I hope at some point you'll open up and tell me what you're about as a person. I somehow am sure you have more to say than good music suggestions... say, did you ever think what the core of your being is?

For me, it is people working together, and i just don't care how phony that sounds. it's fucking hard, and i will brave any controversy there.

Hey, another not bad association: the second link, second song, sounds a bit like pink floyd. Nice.

@admitsWrongIfProven
Defining yourself with few words always makes you uncomfortable — at times it's even scary, we always like to think of ourselves being more… sophisticated than we really are. I'll think about it!

Good night!

@m0xee Is it so important how old someone is?

Would anything i said be weird if you were 5 years old?

Same energy about pronouns, mostly it just does not matter what sex, age, or anything else someone is. We just want to live, and sexy stuff is more of a special interest, i guess?

I guess i'll really head to bed now, sorry for the fake thing earlier ^^

Will surely make it now... not sit around endlessly... hah!

Btw i was not able to reply to an earlier post, so copy paste here...

@m0xee Starting on the first link, sounds nice so far.
Funny how any further band always sounds like black sabbath. Somehow, a little ^^

@admitsWrongIfProven
Ha-ha-ha-ha! The influence — at least on the vocal style is simply undeniable, and on my first listen I was also like: "Oh, hello, Ozzy" 🤣
But then it started growing on me — I think they have things to offer in their own right.

@m0xee That was not a diss :-D

@admitsWrongIfProven
I'm not taking it as one — these were my exact thoughts on my first spin of this record!
I think even the band won't get offended — being compared to Black Sabbath? Oh, come on! 😁

@m0xee I must say, the second link does not evoke any association, but is pretty smooth. Just vibing... say, do you know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fIDFSUMvLY accrassicauda?

@admitsWrongIfProven
Good stuff!
