he was one step away from saying "his poor mother".

A couple of weeks required to essentially roll back 20 years in Afghanistan by a movement of Pakistani madras educated (Taliban just means students) orphans fleeing the Soviet attempt at depopulation in the latter part of their war there.

You'd think you're average Afghani could be forgiven for having a serious chip on his shoulder.

In fairness to the Taliban, they came back strong when they got their chance. An awful waste of 20 years of abject misery there for the same outcome as before.

Just flicking through the TV channels and stumbled on The Sopranos. Meadow has an Ulver poster on her bedroom wall !

They got a 2 for 1 cause there's one in AJ's room at one point as well.

We, along with Sacrilegia and Vircolac are featured in his movie, The Green Sea. Haven't seen it. Seems like a nice fella.

The oil delivery man today turns up in a bright red tshirt with a giant  plunger on it and the words Toilet Clogging Champion.  Pat Mustard he was not.

Reminds me of Lar from TTOW having a gallery of his own massive turds on his phone, which he proudly displayed to me one night I happened to bump into him on a date with some young wan I barely knew and he'd never met, haha.

I had a random thought this evening. I bought Toxicity when it first came out, and that was now 20 years ago!!

[Thorn]

I bought it too man. Time and place eh? Few drinks in I could dig it again I'm sure.

I got Toxicity for my birthday or Christmas that year. What a disappointing follow up to the debut.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

It was instantly not as good as the debut, definitely, but I still enjoyed it.

[Eoin McLove]

I think at that stage I was obsessing over mad shit like Khanate which maybe didn't help, but I thought it lacked a lot of the creativity of the debut. Their sound was so original when they came out, and in 98 the metal landscape was pretty dire so it really hit hard as being something with real artistic value. At that point I was beginning to realise that most of the Metal Hammer recommended stuff was dogshit so to hear a band from that era who actually had substance was a real joy. By 2001 though, I was diving headlong into the underground stuff which was/ is a boundless treasure trove and the element of surprise had worn off SOAD. Plus, the lyrics were quite bad compared to the debut. That pogo song... awful. I haven't listened to it in 20 years though, so maybe I'd enjoy it going in with low expectations.

I weep for us all. I genuinely and honestly do.

That's a random thought no relation to the thread

I'd love to hear Mental Orgasm by Zyklon-B live.

For long drives Thin Lizzy is the best, Sabbath albums are obligatory also, Pogues and the Dubliners work a treat too!

Absolutely. And Megadeth for the motorway, when you can put the foot down.
