Thank you, Alan. Have not heard of Delta Rae. Little bit slower than what I normally listen to, but the video, music, lyrics have something catchy about them. Added the video to watch later so I won't lose it. And added a station on my internet radio based on it.

Btw, my kind of music is closer to :wumpscut: (must be my german blood in me). Since it is Halloween a nice skeleton themed video:

I also like regular heavy metal, classic rock 'n' roll, even classical music. If all I had was The Beatles to listen to, I could be all set. I could also live with only Van Halen, AC/DC, Rammsteinor Motörhead. With Motörhead being my favourite rock 'n' roll band.

As for :wumpscut: - the linked video is not typical. They are usually a bit slower with more melody, and lyrics that tell stories. Granted, even the slower pieces are not suitable for children - or most adults for that matter. The lyrics themselves are very, well, explicit with no attempt to be polite. Delta Rae is not all that child friendly if you think about it. Same thing, just a little slower.

I do like how instruments are used with Delta Rae, and cannot decide yet if they are real instruments or partially electronic.


Music tastes differ, it would be boring indeed if all liked the same stuff.

Well, Ace of Spades is one of my favorite songs, but things like trash metal, death metal and things like that are not my style. I like rock songs, but more 70's, 80's and 90's to be honest...

Who has enjoyed Halloween and the reread of Dead Beat? I enjoyed it and I must admit I really want to know more about Cowl and Kumori.

Our age is showing. There is probably some differences in likes, but I agree, I don't like any metal that instead of singing has weird grunting noises. Is there actually any good rock after the 90's? The one exception that springs to mind may be Volbeat.

I have to agree! Music is pretty subjective, like reading too, but I guess we can all agree that Dresden files rocks!

Reasons I’m Jealous of Harry Dresden by Jim Butcher

This is a hell of an article to write, because come on. Who would WANT Harry Dresden’s life? I mean, seriously. The poor guy, the things I put him through. If he ever met me, he’d slug me right in the face. He rarely, if ever, gets the girl. His victories are sometimes more painful than defeat. His life is haunted by an omniscient, jaded, sadistic fiend–me. I literally lie awake at night, thinking of new, meaner things to do to him.

Harry is tall. I always wanted that when I was a kid. I mean, my dad was 5’7, my mom about 5’2, so I knew I wasn’t going to be a giant. But I did not feel that 5’11 was too much to ask for. It wasn’t even six feet. All in all, I thought that was not an unreasonable height to want to be. But, my genes decided that 5’9 was enough. In retrospect, 5’9 is a very practical height to be. It’s the median, so you’re that much harder to pick out of a lineup, and you rarely feel terribly cramped on buses, in cars, or in airplanes. And there’s always lots of clothes and shoes available in your size. On the other hand, for every inch you are above the median height, statistically speaking you make an extra thousand dollars per year. Plus, you never get stuck behind someone taller than you who blocks your view in a stadium-seating movie theater.
