I'm familiar with Marduk, it's out there. Most of that stuff is not for me. Sacred Reich is more thrash and this is their first album release since 1996. I gave it a listen and they sound great. I've always been a metal and hard rock guy and I know bands like Sacred Reich from back in the day. Since the 90s I've just been listening to the same things I always did, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, etc., but a few years ago I was on a quest for new music and re-embraced metal, new metal. To me, this is a music that continued to move forward and the bands are grinding it out for the love of it. None of them will ever reach the status or financial success of shit like Post Malone, Lil Nas, Taylor Swift, et al, but they continue to write, play and tour. I'm in my 50s, so not the typical demographic but the riffs hit hard, hooked me and my quest for new music is over.

A couple that come to mind...

Same here.

Wow, very sad news. I saw Harold play with Joe Farnsworth and John Webber at the Village Vanguard, August 2018. He sounded great. RIP

Heart valve replacement certainly did not help. RIP, Eddie.

Huge ramifications for sure, Including how contracts are structured and players are paid. I read the Colts could have asked him to return close to $25 million. If this becomes a regular occurrence going forward (which I doubt), I suspect we will see most if not all teams collecting money back. I have no problem with what he did.

"I'm warning you!"

RIP, Bob.

John Cheever?! Dad, you and John Cheever?!

Yeah, The Hitcher! C. Thomas Howell sucked (as often did back then) but Hauer was very good.

Yep, Miles did those ridiculous Honda Scooter commercials. Basie....

Hell yeah!

Lowenbrau was only bad when Miller changed things up. The original recipe makes for a good beer.

Definitely Schlitz.

Yes, sad and weird. Too many mentions of how great the care of Katherine has been and too much defense of the wife for me to believe she isn't the one that either wrote the statement in JazzTimes or worded it. It's also way too similar in style to the GoFundMe plea.

It certainly could be an exit plan. And what the fuck is going on with all those boxes?

I had a feeling. In 2017 KB's pay and benefits package from UCLA was in excess of $200K, no reason to believe it was not close to the same in 2018. No doubt the initial gofundme goal of $100K was passed in a rather short time. Why would you continue to take donations? Why didn't UCLA know of his situation? Kenneth E Burrell PROF-AY (2017) Regular pay: $192,408.00 Overtime pay: $0.00 Other pay: $464.00 Total pay: $192,872.00 Benefits: $41,334.00 Total pay & benefits: $234,206.00 She is a much younger woman, no? Nah, this shit was questionable from the beginning. It was the identity theft thing (both of them?) and the changing of the original statement, on top of health issues, on top of mold, on top of looming foreclosure, on top of lawsuits, on top of potential homelessness. Too much going on there. Maybe Kenny didn't or doesn't even now know what is going on, but to me it always seemed off.

8/10

Don't forget pulling hair. Yeah, it's a baseball game, but I think you would see the same poor quality fight at any sporting event if it involves average women (regardless of size) and alcohol. Of course, there are plenty of "fights" like that on video involving men too, so, it's not exclusive.

It's a damn shame, no question, but yeah, was there music from the Tom Petty and Tupac that will never be heard due to the fire? Courtney Love in another lawsuit is as surprising as seeing "the estates of....".
