Mansion and ASG we're probably the best of the bands I was really looking forward to. The Vintage Caravan also produced another fantastic show, so full of energy. Anciients were very good as well.

Harsh Toke were probably the best of the bands I wasn't really familiar with, an hour of non-stop psychedelic trance.

Giving Anciients a gander atm. Liking their sound.

Oh aye, you thinking of going Passenger?

Passenger · 17-04-2014 8:18pm

I'll be there alright.

Seen Kreator last year but haven't seen AE before. Of course they decide to play here as soon as their iconic frontwoman leaves the band. :rolleyes:

Links234 · 17-04-2014 10:07pm

Hmm, I'd say I'd be going to see Arch Enemy alright

I think I may have missed the boat on Carcass tickets though :eek:

Angron · 17-04-2014 10:11pm

I think there might be some Carcass tickets on ticketmaster, not certain about that. Planning on heading to Arch Enemy for sure though.

Links234 · 17-04-2014 10:14pm

Could make a weekend of it and see Anathema too :pac:

Hopefully there'll be tickets left by the time herself gets the paycheck, I'm busted after shelling out for Girugamesh. Seems to be some very excellent gigs on the horizon for us

Yep. There are still tickets left. Just got one a few mins ago.

Buying a ticket to see Kreator & Arch Enemy tomorrow morning

Links234 · 20-04-2014 7:40pm

Good easter so far guys!?

Angron · 20-04-2014 10:18pm

Meh, don't care much for it one way or the other.

GLaDOS · 20-04-2014 11:28pm

Picked up some nice beers to enjoy with the family, can't complain

Links234 · 21-04-2014 12:47am

Oooh, what beers?

GLaDOS · 21-04-2014 12:53am

Rogue Juniper IPA, Trouble Sabotage IPA, Galway Bay Of Foam and Fury and Schneider Weisse tap 1

I was in the mood for IPAs clearly :pac:

Links234 · 21-04-2014 1:03am

Mmmm, IPAs

Haven't had the Juniper, but I do like Rogue's stuff in general. Sabotage is great! I'm not a fan of the Foam & Fury, it's just too strong for me, but so many people I know adore it and sing it's praises. Managed to have a taste of it on cask recently, but still not my thing.

GLaDOS · 21-04-2014 1:58am

I've never had any of the Rogue range before tonight, but I really liked the Juniper. I do enjoy OFAF, but would only drink it occasionally. As you said, it can be a bit overpowering. Was the first time I'd seen it in bottle form and decided to pick it up.

Links234 · 21-04-2014 2:39am

Rogue do some very good things indeed, they make one of my all time favourites, Hazelnut Brown Nectar. I seriously recommend it!

GLaDOS · 21-04-2014 6:31pm

Pretty sure they had that so I'll be sure try it!

Passenger · 22-04-2014 1:50am

Been meaning to check out Rogue Mocha Porter. Has anybody seen it available anywhere?

Links234 · 23-04-2014 6:07pm

I have no idea how I watched as much of this as I did...

Knifey Spoony · 23-04-2014 9:56pm

Rick and Morty is the work of a genius! It's a bit slow going at the start, but when it gets going it is simply brilliant (imo). How much have you seen of it Links?

Links234 · 23-04-2014 11:03pm

All of it

Knifey Spoony · 24-04-2014 9:47am

I have one more episode to go myself. Have you seen the original pilot for it? It's up on YouTube under "Doc and Mharti". It's very strange and very NSFW. I'm glad they took a bit more time to develop it from that into what it is today.

Links234 · 24-04-2014 10:35am

Yeah, I saw that. It's hard to imagine such a clever show evolved from those immature roots, because it really was awful. But they really did pull it together and create what is possibly one of the funniest shows I've seen in forever, or well, maybe since The Venture Bros. As a big Sci-Fi fan, I just love how it really takes apart the common tropes.

Possibly one of the funniest moments of the whole show for me was this, I don't know why but I was laughing so hard I almost couldn't breathe:

Passenger · 24-04-2014 8:22pm

Been watching a few episodes of that. Pretty imaginative format they've gone with. :pac:

Lithium93_ · 24-04-2014 9:27pm

Today was a damn good day

Links234 · 24-04-2014 9:44pm

Yeah Passenger, it's kinda amazing what they're getting away with in that show as well, it's nuts!

Good to hear Lith, what happened?

Bought a stash of cd's, few band t-shirts,

Links234 · 24-04-2014 10:00pm

What did you get?

I'm gonna have to get a stash of cd's myself too soon

Lithium93_ · 24-04-2014 10:07pm

2 of Nirvana's studio albums (Nevermind & In Utero), Metallica's Reload (Finally have Metallica's back catalog purchased),

Got a Nirvana t-shirt as well

Links234 · 24-04-2014 10:20pm

Got them new or second hand?

I'm thinking of ordering another bunch of stuff from Japan, been meaning to for ages but haven't gotten around to it, or didn't really have the money, but I've had a wee bit of cash put away this week. Been watching some of Nocturnal Bloodlust's videos on youtube, and I'm really taken with them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owdMn1g3E9c

I do love my Visual Kei, but they seem to inject a good bit of death/black metal into their sound, which I also love

Passenger · 25-04-2014 9:55pm

See Carcass is officially Sold Out. Should be a good show given the demand/anticipation. Anybody heading along to Eluveitie in The Button Factory?

Links234 · 26-04-2014 1:53am

Herself still didn't get payed, so well... no Carcass for us

DazMarz · 27-04-2014 12:05pm

Stephen Pearcy has left Ratt again... There goes my hopes of seeing them some time in the near future...

Passenger · 29-04-2014 2:16pm

Orange Goblin and Saint Vitus Co-Headline in the Button Factory.

Links234 · 29-04-2014 4:02pm

This is me today

Links234 · 29-04-2014 6:01pm

Also, got around to ordering a bunch of albums from Japan

Not quite as much as I had planned to, but some awesome stuff nonetheless, including the new Lynch. album

Zwillinge · 30-04-2014 9:09am

^^ That - I like that!

Morning all!

Missed Japanese class last week as I was in Paris

It's still beautiful, don't worry

And I missed it last night

as I was working on a proposal/written thingie for work for Thursday. Am going for an internal interview on Friday, so have been mostly calming myself all week with music and promise of cinema Friday evening

Which sequel is better; The Raid 2, The Amazing Spiderman 2 or Captain America 2?

Links234 · 30-04-2014 9:15am

Morning Zwillinge

Yeah, they're a great band! I had been listening to some of their stuff on youtube and pretty much insta-fan'd me right away

How was Paris?

I loved Captain America 2, haven't seen the rest though. Raid 2 meant to be amazing but haven't even seen the first yet

Zwillinge · 30-04-2014 10:07am

Paris was gorgeous, sites to see, lovely baked goods to nom nom and gigantic Mickeys (Mouse) walking around

:D Himself was upset to be leaving the magical land

I loved The Raid when I first seen it, absolutely adrenaline filled fury - I urge you to go watch it

What has been happening around these parts?

Links234 · 30-04-2014 11:21am

Not much happening really

I must see The Raid, I've been meaning to check it out for ages but still haven't got to it

Also, this is surprisingly awesome:

Got a bottle of this from O'Brien's for €3.49. Pretty distinctive flavour for sure.

Links234 · 02-05-2014 12:51am

Glad you liked it!

I've been in a stout/porter mood this week, had a few Porterhouse Chocolate Truffle stouts and a Nogne oatmeal porter, awesome stuff

Passenger · 02-05-2014 1:10am

Speaking of which, have you ever tried the Rogue Mocha Porter? Been looking around for it. Might ask O'Brien's if they'll get it in stock.
