Check Respawn. It's a gaming chair, but I got lower back pain from playing hockey my entire life and it was a lifesaver. I don't game at all in it, I just have it for back support and comfortability.

I don't know why Finland, Sweden, and the Netherlands are full of metal queens, but thank god they are

Battle Beast is one of the best live bands in the world right now. They are absolutely thrilling on stage, if anybody reading this ever gets the chance to see them live, you should jump at the chance because they are almost peerless.

I was scrolling my Youtube feed and this Cale Makar video caught my eye.

@McMetal - went to the Maiden concert on Saturday, and this band opened up for them. The Hu.

Mongolian folk metal band, not a word of English in their music. Kind of a death metal-ish, Viking war chant (or Mongol war chant, I suppose), heavy deep bass/drum vibe, with melodies played on an instrument called a Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle).

It was unique, certainly different, even a bit strange......and I really liked it.

Yeah, they're one of the most unique bands in metal history. A real testament to how diverse the genre can be.

I ended up missing the Maiden show sadly (had to watch my budget after all the shows I went to this year). I'll catch them next time, it sounds like they're going to do another retro tour of just 80s material.

I would like that a lot. They were good this time around, but I could quibble with the set list. Only two songs pre-1986 (Somewhere in Time).

The Hu are awesome!

Used to listen to them while gaming. *LOL* They make for a monumental soundtrack at times.

Today I've discovered that you can drown people in American toilets

Now I understand why swirlies are so feared in TV shows about schoolchildren. What is wrong with your country?
I think you mean what is right. The land of toilet water, leaning on everything, tipping 25% for Chipotle, riding bald eagles, buying ARs at Walmart, AC running at full blast in the deep south to keep it 62 indoors when it is 95+ outside, tight blue jeans, and hawk tuah.

The US is simply a land of excess. We've had the economic ability to avoid austerity in all but the worst times. When those worst times happen, the US still tends to be better off than many other countries. You have 100-150 years of that and you build a culture that lives on extremes. The US is very much that.

No wonder you were all whinging when petrol went to 3 dollars a gallon or something. If the US ever experiences actual economic problems you're all f***ed.
