    Alright. So I’m going through these now.

    HIM - I tried to find a song from HIM this time while suppressing my premonitions, but I just couldn’t. There are just so many songs about love, partners, etc. and that doesn’t apply to me right now.

    The Crown - I can see myself getting into them the rest of the year, for sure. I enjoyed Gone to Hell and Death Explosion from them (so far.)

    The Haunted - I liked All Against All. I’ll be checking out there stuff a bit more, but later.

    Dimmu Borgir - I already knew about them. They are a ‘nasty’ band. Hahaha. Puritania is by far my favorite song from them.

    Metallica and CKY I’ve heard and like some of their songs. Metallica more so.

    Foreign Objects - I’m digging their Galactic Prey album. For sure gonna come back to this one.

    Meshuggah - They have a cool sound, but I just can’t find myself liking their songs.

    Mattias “I.A.” Eklundh - Minor Swing through me for a loop haha. I like that one. Same with New Air.

    Opeth - IDK… I think it’s a bit too moody for my liking.

    Finntroll - It’s alright to me. Wish I could understand their lyrics ha.

    Children of Bodom - That’s my shit! 👍 I seem to like Melodic Death Metal music quite a bit. Power Metal is fun too.

    Sonata Arctica - I could see myself enjoying some of their music. But I think I’m currently in a ‘heavy hitting’ phase musically. Symphonic metal is pretty cool. My introduction to it was Nightwish’s Wishmaster album.

    Animals as Leaders - I had a few friends years ago that were really into them. I think they have some interesting sounds, but sometimes, math metal can be too much for me.

    Lamb of God - I’ve definitely heard of them and heard a few of their songs. Yeah IDK man. For whatever reason, I can’t find a song that I like enough to add to my Spotify. I might come back to them later for a deeper dive.

    Tesseract - Not feeling it.

    Textures - Not feeling it.

    The Ocean - I liked Holocene.

    The Omnific - Turns out, I liked their Objects de Vertu song some time ago. I liked Outback Overdrive. They feel like a band I would enjoy diving deeper into.

    Dissection - Pretty good.

    Amon Amarth - Of course, I’ve heard of them and like their song Twilight Of The Thunder God hahaha. I’ve been meaning to come back to them and hear more of their stuff. Liked Shield Wall.

    Linkin Park - Really dude?! LOL! I wasn’t born yesterday! I like their stuff. Mostly their earlier stuff as well.

    And now I feel like Frodo.

    (Now I’m gonna music suggest wall you bro! Sheesh. Haha)

    I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed some of the shared songs.

    Venjent… what if I told you I was like one of the top 0.01 % listeners of Venjent in 2025, I think.

    My goodness dude! Hahaha That’s is some serious dedication! =p

    Equilibrium is one of favorite folk metal bands to date. Sunlounger is growing to become my go to artist, when I need to chill out. Venjent is a really interesting artist. I love his ability to utilize sounds from anything and apply them into a music format.

    As for your list, HOLY SHIITAKE! You seem to have the metal music corner of music well covered. lol I’ve heard 12 of those listed and know I like, Dimmu Borgir, Metallica, CKY, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth and (of course) Linkin Park. I’ll check out the rest over the next several days.

    Bro there are so many good bands, I have about 1700+ bands that I follow on Spotify. (Quite overwhelming at times, actually.)

    ROFL! I can totally understand the overwhelming sense you would get. This is why I only follow a 30 or so bands on Spotify.

    If you’re looking for more chill music/song suggestions, I would suggestion:

    (Songs)

    Tokyomane - Far Away

    Aphex Twin - Avril 14th

    (Artists)

    Loafy Building

    no one’s perfect

    Ocie Elliott

    Kalaido

    Really liking a lot of syncopation. I want to be intrigued by the music, you know?

    Thanks cool dude. I figure you’ve heard of Math Rock. But if you haven’t… https://www.last.fm/tag/math+rock

    What music suggestions would you have for me? Like I mentioned, I’m into just about everything. So what’cha got? =)

    Hats off to workers like you. The unsung heroes of modern society.

    I had a stint in IT many years ago. I remember being at my first IT job, working as a help desk person. Months in and there was a lull in work for me. Things were all working just fine or better. It was at this point that I mentioned it to my boss (IT Manager of the whole multi location business). ‘Man, there’s nothing really to do. It kinda makes me feel guilty that I’m getting paid to basically sit around.’ I’ll never forget what he replied with after giving a bit of a laugh. He said, “We’re here so when a ‘fire’ breaks out, we can quickly put it out and assess the cause. Then make a preventive plan for this issues like this.” I laughed and smiled. As I then realized that I was in a lesser way, a electronic device ‘firefighter.’ We standby to quickly and effectively address network, computer and printer problems.

    He gave an example he had read online a few years prior, of someone who was working for a $4-5 million dollar valued, up and coming corporation. (This I believe happen in 2012 or so.) While the execs were in a meeting, trying balance the books, I guess the founder realized that they were paying for a small team of four IT people and wondered why they had to have so many of them. He complained about how much they were paying to have them staffed and how expensive it was for the two senior IT people they had. I guess they were paying them each over $110,000 salaries. (Each of them specializing in key systems the corp. used daily.) He pointed out his observations, that he would often see and hear them sitting around in their office space, talking and joking with one another. He wanted to know why they kept them onboard if they hardly ever worked and why they ‘deserved’ to be paid so much. This went on for two days or so where the execs kept trying to find ways to cut costs and balance things out. And the ‘IT cost’ would keep coming up. They were planning to cut the team down to one or two people and maybe contract out one or two remote, to save money.

    Well, on the third day of the execs going over the books and coming close to a final decision, there was a huge server crash that was caused by a hacker or hacker group who had gotten into the network system and into their email server. The IT team entered Red Alert mode and stayed there working until around 3 in the morning, ‘putting out fires,’ bring things back online safely, and without losing critical server data during it. Even though they had to pull nearly all of the servers to address the issues one by one offline. The company was losing tens of thousands of dollars every hour things were down. And so, come the next morning when the founder and execs came back into the office the next day and get the final report that about 90% of things were back to normal now, and the company had only lost an estimated $400,000 or so in work value while the IT infrastructure was down.

    While the IT seniors reported on what had happen, how bad things had gotten and what course of actions the IT team had done to get things back to normal, all while only being about to get a few hours of sleep before the early morning meeting. The founder and execs realized how big of a bullet they had missed but having an in-house IT team and experts that could physically fix things.

    Movie wise:

    1. Logan Lucky - “Trying to reverse a family curse, brothers Jimmy and Clyde Logan set out to execute an elaborate robbery during the legendary Coca-Cola 600 race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.”

    I really found myself loving this movie, which was a surprised to me. But I believe that I found myself loving the characters and how they were shown on screen. I also loved the pacing of the movie. I never felt like there was a moment that had over stayed it’s stay. The story it’s self was interesting enough for me to keep wanting to watch as well. And no, it’s not a film, it’s a fun movie. It’s not trying to be the next Heat or The Sting.

    1. Kubo and the Two Strings - “Kubo mesmerizes the people in his village with his magical gift for spinning wild tales with origami. When he accidentally summons an evil spirit seeking vengeance, Kubo is forced to go on a quest to solve the mystery of his fallen samurai father and his mystical weaponry, as well as discover his own magical powers.”

    It’s a powerful film IMO. There was a lot to love from the experience and it’s one of my all-time favorite stop motion films ever.
