I don't believe in demons and that kind of stuff, maybe you do.
To me, it's just a cool theme, like dinosaurs and sci-fi, and the aggressiveness (or whatever you'd call it) in the music gives me energy
And in this particular case, the musicianship is awesome and also gives me energy and inspiration
The lyrics may be about death and decay, but who understands those?
On a side note, when a band name or title contains a cool word, like Pazuzu, I usually look it up and learn a thing or two about mythology or Lord of the Rings
So I don't know what negative energy you're talking about.
Of course everyone experiences music differently, like my mom who listens to lyrics and didn't know Queen had a drummer
Like you said, to each their own

On a 'slight' tangent, BBC 6Music has been on fire for the last couple of days - reliving the best of Glastonbury, with a sprinkling of some other great classics. Sometimes, it's nice to let someone else to the leg-work, rather than having to pick your own tracks. And, right now they are picking a lot of great tracks.
My favorite from yesterday was Foo Fighters doing a cover of Band On The Run.

I take it that's a radio station?
I rarely listen to the radio, basically only during short car rides and only to two stations, Slam (mostly dance) and Radio 4 (classical).
Sometimes I just put on some random YouTube song and let it play whatever comes next, I guess that's pretty much the same thing.
Got some awesome tracks that way.

6Music is one of the few Radio stations I can listen to for any length of time - and, since lock-down, I've found it good to have some 'background noise' without having to put too much effort into it! Most of the presenters are not too annoying either! Also, as it's the BBC, there are no annoying (and repeated) ads.
Most other stations don't have much variety and, (no matter what genre or era), that can wear me down over an 8-hour working day. I can't really be playing YouTube during working hours, (well technically I could - very easily), as I wouldn't get any work done. I do have the odd YouTube AutoPlay blast at the weekend though.

That's great
Too bad she doesn't have more of it.
Might listen to some Finntroll[^] later today (I know, sounds nothing alike and it's not even Swedish, but the mind works in mysterious ways)

I've been listening to Wardruna, and stuff YouTube recommends like it. It is kinda the mood of Jonna's music, kinda not.
I suspect you've listed Wardruna here before, but a google search doesn't point it out.

A CodeProject search did the trick The Lounge[^]
Almost three years ago
I've also seen them live in the meantime, great show with a great atmosphere and a great light show
I bought their albums and they signed one of them afterwards

I will have to revise my thoughts about CodeProject's search! From my few tries, I had the impression it was worthless!

What is the purpose of "perhaps that"? It seems misleading and useless, maybe I am missing something.
|
|
|
|

"that" I think is spurious - just there to make the sentence work.
"perhaps" would indicate the "corn" is not the only example of a "grain" (as are wheat, rice, oats, barley, ...)

The word "that" belongs in the last part: "that ends on a high note".

Got ya, makes sense

I had a rather forlorn hope that it would take you more than two minutes.

Well that's what happens when you choose proper words!

It was pretty much immediate: PRO and CDEF or G, probably ending ING, something we are doing, 11 letters
Ah. PROgramminG
Then I realised the "2 metre" part, and the rest fell into place.
Good clue!

Punch cards? Your RAM was so static that you had to fill it manually with toggle switches or hex keyboard. And then they made the mistake to make it dynamic, which caused it to charge at you when it missed its refresh. You had to take the bump, all RAM would be wiped clean and you had to start all over again, but at least it would behave like it was static again. For a while.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

At least if you had knitting needles and some ferrite cores you could make your own RAM. Nowadays, my hands aren't steady enough to manually make a DDR3 module ...
But the kids of today? They don't even try.
