[313] a closed mind playing the part of prison cells
Had a nice sleep, stretched out a little by the realization upon waking that I was a li'l bit chilly and hid in the blankets for a solid half an hour before realizing oh, the reason everything is so silent is because the power's out. I kept myself occupied (and warm, thank god this didn't happen a few weeks ago) with some yoga until I heard the heat kick back on, after about four hours of outage.
Then I opened the blinds and it's snowing! Big fluffy globs falling all over, which is actually quite nice since it's still not very cold and it'll hopefully be enough to cover up the worst of the ice slicks. Unless it's TOO fluffy and won't layer properly, and then it'll just make things even more deadly, but right now I am inside and waiting for a burrito to arrive so I'm just gonna enjoy the quiet winter vibes for as long as I can with work in the morning.
The news out of Stardom is slightly less terrifying now that the rumour mills have had time to cycle past the initial rush of nonsense, enough for me to be curious about what will come out of the inevitable chaos instead of just doom-and-glooming.
Still gotta book those train tickets. Burrito remains my top priority right now, though.
Wikipedia Sez: Vulgar Display of Power is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera. Released on February 25, 1992, through Atco Records, it was the band's second collaboration with producer Terry Date, after having worked with him on their breakthrough album Cowboys from Hell (1990). The album was well received by both critics and fans, and is Pantera's highest selling album to date and would eventually be certified double platinum. It is often considered one of the most influential heavy metal albums of the 1990s. In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked Vulgar Display of Power 10th on their list of 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time'. Several of its tracks have become among the band's best known, such as "Mouth for War", "A New Level", "Walk", "Fucking Hostile", and "This Love".
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Heavy Metal, Sludge Metal, Alternative Metal
Release Date: February 25th, 1992
Prior Familiarity: Almost none.
What I Did While Listening: Did a run and got very sweaty indeed.
Verdict: It was loud and yelly and full of extremely impressively fast drumming and guitaring and aside from the fact that it's got a lot of really aggressive, driving beats that are great for running, it did very, very little for me.
Favourite Song: Walk. Hmm, ironic.
