Wow, yeah, that’s just what a stroke is like. There’s a cognitive disconnect. The only reason I figured out right away that I was having one was because my mother had started having them and we (my sisters and I) were doing research and sharing with each other. But I will admit, it took me a while. I feel very fortunate that I completely recovered. I can’t even imagine what that feels like, emotionally, to realize it’s permanent. That would be hell.

I’m so confused right now. J-pop but it’s actually prog. And it’s not even fake.

Nice!

Thank you everyone! It was a great day! My favourite band, Al1ce, sung me "happy birthday" on their Twitch stream! Bucket list item -- check!

And back to the technical with Ron Jarzombek and Blotted Science. What?

Fuckin’ Grooby!

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

And then today, Still Life and Wilderun by Veil of Imagination and some Ne Obliviscaris. -- I have no idea who these people are. Getting more ideas from this list: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/sam1oq/extreme-progressive-metal-genre-draft-and-opeth-worship/ I seem to remember @cetoole citing one or two of these titles as his favourites of all time, don't know if that's still the case. Taking a small break from that for Mono, Inc.'s Welcome to Hell, which is nicely gothic for the season.

The Opeth trifecta: Blackwater Park, Ghost Reveries, and Watershed.

Unrelated:

Probably just a little derpy and trusting her to catch it. I just really like the sound effects on both of those.

I like the sound editing on both of these. video0-18.mov Glider.mp4

Right title (lower right) wrong picture, lollers. really nice instrumental prog rock/metal from Poland (you can tell from the diacritics) Up next: Ne Obliviscaris

Sorry, Rhonda, Rest In Peace, you beautiful redhead. She may or may not have had something to do with my (now retired) obsession with redheads.

Happy birthday, Vickster! We miss you. Come visit when you have a chance.

I think it’s their best yet.
