I've listened to a lot of black metal... I'm familiar with Scandinavian's musicians! 
And then there's stuff like Vibrasphere, Björk, Trentemøller, Kate Havnevik, Emilíana Torrini...
And of course the many goth- and progmetal!
I've come across Zara Larsson before too, pretty good.
Yeah, Scandinavia is great

It doesn't matter how talented she is, she's still a product.

Wow! Status Quo's looking damn good for their age!

Nothing wrong with that. 
The impact Status Quo has had on rock music cannot be overstated.
Just a pity they're tarnishing their legacy with mass producing "Best Of" records.

Zara Larsson. Another Ellie Goulding wannabe bound for the Eurovision Song Contest, I would have thought. But each to their own.

Because the heartless animatronic wetware/code chimeras of tomorrow need to be trained to know that "organic" is so far past its use-by date: [^].
Video of CHIP in action here: [^].
[^] Quote from ReadWrite.com article on various new gizmos at CES, describing the CHIP robot dog from WowWee:
The Canine Home Intelligent Pet (CHiP) by WowWee boasts an impressive array of infrared sensors to give it 360 vision and high speed Meccanum wheels, allowing it to move quickly in virtually any direction. It also comes with a special ball to play fetch with and a connected Smart Band that enables CHiP to act with intent. The Smart Band’s bluetooth technology tells CHiP when you’re around and gives you the power to positively reinforce good behavior with a Like button—just like with a real dog.
You can play with this cute robopup at Booth 80449.

Where's the "like" button on a real dog?

Or under the tail

They have dinosaurs[^]!!!!
The organic ones of those are, indeed, far past their use-by date

With the number of people in the world living in rented or leasehold property where they're not allowed to have pets it seems like a pretty good idea to me. With an estimated 10 million domestic dogs in the UK alone, I don't think the organic variety is under any real threat!

I want a robotic dog that can be trained to clean my cat's litterbox.

The robotic toys company WowWee renames self to Cyberdyne Systems.
The toys look like the innocent babies hatching out of the T-rex eggs. It's amusing...but the future is coming..

I've just noticed some events in my system event log that have a source of 'bowser'??? Note: Mario has never played on this PC (win10 pro)... Bug report:[^]
Funny that this hasn't been fixed yet.

Whilst checking out MVC6 recently (which I think is brilliant and took no time to get up and running with) I had the misfortune to have to faff around with some CSS again. I rarely go near it and only have painful experiences of trying to do anything useful with it. Took about 3 hours to get my head around MVC6 and create a new site and about the same to try and solve (unsuccessfully) a single CSS issue.
Am I right in thinking that to be good at CSS one of the main requirements is that you've been through the pain of solving a million different layout and browser problems?

Google can be your friend. A List Apart: For People Who Make Websites[^] is a good resource for CSS.

One problem with trying to find help with CSS problems is that there are sometimes a dozen different ways to achieve an effect/layout but not all methods work everywhere, and may break or be deprecated in the near future. Weeding through all the irrelevant stuff and trying different solutions makes you a better developer.
