Conan the Barbarian is a solid 10/10 imo. Conan the Destroyer is just a run of the mill 80s swords and sorcery movie.

I saw Conan The Barbarian in the cinema ehen it came out, I would have been around 7! Still a great film. ...Destroyer is pretty awful compared to it, but nostalgia comes into play here so I don't mind it. And it's like Citizen Kane compared to Red Sonja or the recent ...Barbarian remake.

The soundtrack for Conan the Barbarian is also ace.   One of the few soundtracks of movies I own.

Aye Basil Poledouris's work on Conan & Robocop are fantastic.

When there's a killer band/album that all you can think is "fuck yeah" while you're listening, and then hardly ever come back.

I've had Stargazer's "The Scream That Tore the Sky" and "A Merging to the Boundless" on all afternoon, have listened to them plenty over the years, but never to the obsessive way that I've spun say Death or Blood Incantation, despite them being just as good.

I get that and I find it somewhat unexplainable. Incredible band anyway. All 4 albums are class.

Read in a post from Rolling Stone:

"A lot of artists, when they're 62 years old, they're winding things down," Metallica's Kirk Hammett says in the new episode of our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast. "I feel like I'm still fucking climbing the summit, bro."

Hammett has a new coffee-table book out...

Pictures of his guitars or something rock amd fucking roll.

Being deluded helps if you've been releasing unlistenable shite for twenty five years. It works for me.

[The Great Cull]

While Kirk was a legend back in the day, nowadays he genuinely seems like his brain is working on dial up Internet.

I am the coffee table book!

My local Golden Discs has seen a bump to their metal section. Picked up Carcass' "Surgical Steel" there this morning on CD as it's the vertion with the five extra tracks I don't have.

They also had stock of the new Obscura, Exodus, some Overkill albums, bunch of other stuff too. All on CD and vinyl.

Not sure if it's because of my buddy running the place is into metal himself, but it's nice to see this stuff available on the high street (in the arse-end of the country), nevertheless.

I was in this morning and picked up the live Exodus and new Cradle except when I got home I realised it's the last Cradle and I already have it. Argh. Damn them and their interchangeable album covers.

Edit : Just rang them up and it's no problem to come in and change it ,cool.

I've been wracking my mind trying to remember what old obscure-ish band I seen in fibbers about 10 years ago to about 8 people. I was convinced it was a French band and some death/thrash massacra-ish band and was driving me crazy. Then Darragh posted one of their albums on his story today and it came to me! Necrodeath! Hazy as fuck memory as I was absolutely fucked from about 2 bottles of buckfast and a heap of pints. I remember thinking it was strange they were playing at the time and still think it was weird now. I don't think anyone who would have even cared about the show knew it was on, it was just part of that carnage clubnight.

Ah good sauce yeah they're pretty handy for sorting out customers in that regard. I must have another mooch, grabbed the newest Obscura one the other day.

They also do "special order" stuff on the website. As in, they don't usually carry it but can get it for you in a week or two.
