Why does the song "Too Much Time On My Hands" come to mind

Machinima is tough to make in a game like Lord of the Rings Online. Most of the videos out there are music videos, but I wanted to rep the LOTRO crowd in my Valentine's videofest!

LOTRO musicians sure have come a long way since I tried the game in beta. All that I could muster was the same note over and over until someone begged me to stop, or threatened to report me. However, some creative individuals have come up with entire songs, coordinated with different players and instruments!

Read on for commentary and another video ...

I chose two music videos that I felt embodied the spirit of Valentine's Day. The first is Tainted Love, performed by Die Bäääänd. The second is What is Love, performed by Men in Tights. What LOTRO performance do you feel best represents Valentine's Day?

Great WoW video

This video rocks. I wish there was more original machinima like this.

25 years later

Like a midget attending his first dwarf tossing contest I venture forth with trepidation amongst the geeks, nerds, dweebs and other hairy palmed pizza munchers that run this blog. I offer for my first post a music review, which like fine wine will get better over time, not like goat nipples which can only get wrinkly, shrivel and produce sour milk. With all this in mind here's my review...hitch your wagon to a chicken, pull up those hobbit feet and read on..

Throbbing Gristle are back after 25 years

(Part two: The Endless Not)
Throbbing Gristle those Wreckers of Civilization are back with their first proper album for 25 years. For those that don't know Throbbing Gristle is the band that "invented" Industrial Music back in 1975. What we have here is really the dog's bollocks for any lover of electronic and experimental music. Thee importance of throbbing gristle cannot be stressed too greatly.

So what do we get? We get an album of industrial children that modern pretenders can only hint at. We have droning vocals matched with drum and bass beats, non vocal laden disturbances that make you grab for the light switch if played in the dark....and that is just a highlight.

Opening track Vow of silence throbs straight to your groin and head all at once. Gen P's sonic vocals evoke an insane clown on crack; which burst into your ears. It's kind of like watching "IT" without the knives (in a happy way). Almost a kiss drones along like a French painting. You can picture steamy smoke filled cafes, strong coffee, naked French women in trench coats and a large bottle of Absinthe.

Worm waits its turn being composed by Genesis (vocalist) and his cohort Bryin Dall sounds most like their band "Thee Majesty." Think diatribes, prayers, poetry all set to sonically experimental soundscapes. Bryin Dall also plays his guitar with a machete and plays in bands called Dream Into Dust and 4th sign of the apocalypse .

The album itself swipes between old experimental industrial with little structure to an almost reminiscent of bands such Current 93, but does not shirk from being modern. This is a far more disturbing form of music than anything you're likely to hear any time soon.

After 25 years they have lost nothing. 
This is perhaps what happens if you
take four strongly disturbed English
 people, place in a pot and simmer
with electronica, breast implants,
moon worship and some porn.

For a band that brought us such greats as Zyklon B zombi, Hamburger Lady and 
Hot on the heels of love, this is more than we could ever want.  For those that think
Industrial music ends with  NIN, Ministry and Marilyn Manson 
you need to hear this.

 Iconoclastic music for Iconoclasts. 

"And there's several days And there's never
a way To convince people…..."
