Dead Planet

Curse words are just words , they are mainly used as adjectives, fuck this , shit on that etc....it is when they are used to insult , defame and attack someone that I have a problem with them....and that is usually where the c word gets used....

I loved all 3 of these releases but I rarely reach for any of them these days...maybe I just overplayed them when they came out....

Progressive metal power force Odd Dimension have released a video for the song Escape To Blue Planet, taken from their third album, The Blue Dawn, which will be released on March 26 on Scarlet Records. This is how the band commented: “‘Escape To Blue Planet’ is a song that well represents the mood, the sounds and the dynamic range we wanted to express with this album, from intimate atmospheres to powerful progressive rhythmic figures. We wanted to literally host the listener in our musical dimension! This new chapter of the story tells about the escape of the two main characters Markus and Eloise from their homeland Axtradel to an unknown planet they see far away from their spaceship in a shining blue, destined to become the homeland of their newborn sons. To do this they leave their mission, and as The Ruler says in the mid part of the song, they will eternally pay the price for this action. We are very excited to release this first official video anticipating this record and we can’t wait for the whole album release on March 26th!” The Blue Dawn is an intriguing existential sci-fi concept-album in the vein of Rush’s 2112, which is beautifully portrayed by the cover artwork of none other than renowned artist Gustavo Sazes (Angra, DGM, Firewind, James LaBrie).

The way things are going by 2100 we will have genetic manipulation so that all children are born with the same color...shit I suppose that is a racist comment ....at least it is politically incorrect

Another really good release but not my fav...that would probably be Dial Hard .......

The science behind wearing masks is pretty unambiguous....it works but unfortunately these days people prefer to ignore science and believe what they want to believe..... https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2020/06/417906/still-confused-about-masks-heres-science-behind-how-face-masks-prevent

I wear a mask when shopping or around others in a public indoor area...otherwise it is a waste of time.... the people who refuse to wear one in public areas are idiots.... it no more infringes on your freedoms than wearing a seat belt when driving.... as for Australia, the situation is obviously different than for most of the rest of us as there is a very low rate of the virus there.... so I guess the question to ask is...would there be a much worse spread of the virus if no one was wearing a mask? The politicians can't win in this case as they make people wear masks to slow the spread and people say it is a waste of time to wear masks because there is no spread of the virus....if they did not make people mask up and the virus spread like wildfire then they would be chastised for not making masking rules....

Overlord was better but Ghosts of War is okay.....

Not much better there....if I was in the US it would be reasonable but shipping to Canada is ridiculous.....

Good stuff, I thought I had this one but I have Flightplan not the S/T.....I checked on ebay and it is ridiculously expensive or I would pick it up...

They have put out some excellent music over the years and Painkiller is one of their best.....

Yeah that pretty much sums up my feelings as well....

Ken Burns - The Vietnam War - KB has got to be the best documentary maker ever.....although I can only recommend this series for those who are really interested in the subject matter as it is over 16 hours in length......

I will certainly be paying attention since I'm a fan of the Jays and they have a great group of young and hungry players and have added to that group with several good players....of course their starting pitching is suspect so we will see how the season goes....at least they are playing a full season this year.....

Their first release still gets regular airplay from me and while the second isn't as good it is still better than most bands musical output.....

Loved the first one but wasn't overly impressed with release #2 although it has some good songs.....if I were picking back to back great releases by the band I would have to choose Slippery When Wet and New Jersey as both were excellent....

Love Bill....love the way he boils down all the insanity to common sense....we could use a lot more of this sort of thing especially in politics.....fucking cancel culture is the demon child of the politically correct assholes who seem to be everywhere these days....

Great release and AN's best IMO although it is not quite a no skipper for me....

The liberal media had it out for him after the 'access hollywood tape' and for good reason IMO......but if he had kept his head down and just done the job of president a lot of the negativity would have dissipated eventually, instead he constantly complained and insulted anyone who did not kiss his ass, if he had not been on twitter the liberals would have had to talk about policy and political issues and most people would have tuned it all out until the next election cycle....

I still say that if Trump had stayed off Twitter he would probably have won a second term...most of the bad publicity came from idiotic comments on Twitter that the media made sure the world knew about in real time....so bottom line he was the author of his own demise politically....most of the shit he was pushing uphill was his own.....

My memory is far from perfect but I don't believe I paid much attention to Trump for at least the first several months of his presidency...I remember finding him and the reaction to his win as funny...the seriousness of the situation only set in much later....

The majority of Bidens executive orders have been to reverse Trumps executive orders so that is not a surprise....happens every time a new president takes office as for the kids in cages thing, Biden needs to fix this asap and if he doesn't then that is a major ugly mark on him and his administration....lets remember folks that it is still early days for Biden....lets see how things look in a few months at least before we write him off for the next 4 years....
