If you can afford to save then I highly recommend you to save up for classes. Not just for the exercise aspect but (primary) as a safety measure.

Floating around on ones back is seriously underrated. You just drift around a bit, relax and disconnect for a bit.

Arrow up. Multiple times.

Can I... Can I have some knife-ear degeneracy?

I assemble and disassemble industrial machinery for final testing. I already do the opposite of what I do?

I'm still pissed off about goddam indo-europeans coming here with their sky daddies and anthropomorphic pantheons.

Full face protections is fashionable in the Downhill circles. But here we come to the caveats of the full face helmets. A) they are heavy and B) they breathe much less. In other words they aren't that comfortable to wear outside of when you really need them. If you want full face helmets for your kids there are out there but you will have to look at Downhill miountainbike ones. With a price that matches...

Did a quick search through their database for "kid", "child, "junior" and "teen". No results. They haven't got to testing that market segment yet.

When doing my military service (sweden) I got rides on SJ's night trains plenty of times in their six bunk cabins. With five other enlisted. I didn't mind it but it was Spartan. Simple and serviceable. And you felt the ride. If I had young kids with me I would get a private two or three bunk cabin.

But I still remember waking up in the mornings, leaving the cabin to head out into the corridor to open a window and inhale the fresh northern air.

They are. But I cannot lusten long to them. Love listening but grow tired quick. Think my best description is that they fill their sound with too many sounds. Not sure if it makes sense.

Alestorm is seriously good. Keeps the theme, makes catchy tracks and expanding on the theme. Love their Last Saskatchewan Pirate from their latest EP.

And I'm excited for more Frøggë

Just straight up not being too serious about themselves while still being serious in the act I would recommend Alestorm, Brothers of Metal and Nanowar of Steel. The last one describes thenselves as Humor Metal. Very skilled musicians doing metal of various mainstream genres. Like Norwegian Reggaeton, heavy metal reggaeton about norwegian black metal.

If you go into power metal I can also recommend Gloryhammer (fantasy in space by the frontman from Alestorm), Grailknights (early 90's action figures, check out Pumping Iron Power for a great workout track) ang Wind Rose (dwarf metal with a great cover of Diggy Diggy Hole and just released Rock and Stone). Power Metal in general is just filled with thematic bands. Final recommendation would be Power Wolf (gothic symphonic metal, "catholic werewolves").

You want to open a can of awesomeness? Well you got it. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor any that covers the whole spectrum. Some bands are serious others much more lighthearted. Generally all of these have strong folk metal influences drawing inspiration from the middle ages (fall of Rome to fall of Constantinople). Go wild. If I were to do a "top five tracks" from a few bands I would choose Cruachan, Heidevolk, Månegarm and Skálmöld

Cruachan - irish/celtic

Eluveitie - celtic gaul

Feuerschwanz - german "high medieval"

Equilibrium - german

Heidevolk - dutch

Norse/Viking (here I just dump a bunch) - Amon Amath, Brothers of Metal, Ensiferum, Månegarm, Skálmöld, Tyr

Alestorm - PIRATES, a humorous bonus for the funzies

 

A fun band. Lots of skin, lots of sexy bodies. And then there is "the Voice of the Gods" whose magnificence overshadows all. On the vocal side the band is well wrought and the three vocalists plays off eachother almost like a classic boy band from the late 90's.

 

While I do love Eluveite I cannot listen to them for longer periods of time. Just so full of everything and then some. It gets discordant tiring. Still good in a mix.

 

Let's stretch my theme for the evening. Just a duo between the chaotic maniacs of Alestorm and Patty Gurdy. Well produced and everything fits well together. Very good drinking music.

 

Ahhhh Alissa White-Gluz, in my opinion the queen of the harsh melodic death metal. Growls but the higher pitches does come through. Can listen to Arch Enemy for long periods without getting fatigued, that does say something.

 

Let's take the vocals a bit harsher. Still clear by metal standards but I find Noora Louhimo's vocal more in line with the rest. Much less of a contrast compared to (for example) Nightwish.

 

Nightwish featuring Tarja. It is nice to listen to the "peak" of their vocalists. Her voice does fit the band's sound. It is all about the contrasts. And you can hear her (by then) classical training.

Old Nightwish. According to Spotify their most played track.

 

Camping season is on and that means hauling half a kg of sourdough on the trail. Just to make some flatbreads.

Recipe

About 80% hydration

One part rye flour

Three parts whole wheat flour

Sourdough starter (you know yours best)

Salt

Mix and put into container. At fire work dough into golfball sized balls, let balls rest snd then flatten them. I prefer the thumbing method. Once coals are hotHotHOT put discs on gridddle and bake. Time depends on how how your coals are. I go by feel.

 

How it tasted? Smokin!
