Thread of Metal

Okay, everyone knows about the BIG metal bands. But in here, share some of those that you enjoy that are maybe lesser known, or just your favorites in general…IDGAF

These guys (and gal) have become my favorite over the last year. Looking for a good Ukrainian progressive metalcore band? That still makes KICK ASS music videos? I got your fix…

through relentless touring, a strong social media presence, wildly skilled musicianship and an absolute force of nature vocalist, they’re gaining a bigger following. Seriously, these guys are incredible. Each member is wildly talented, but (for me) the drummer and bassist are next level. And Tatiana, the lead singer, is unreal. Her clean vocals are great, but her growls are…well…unbelievable. It’s hard to believe it’s her, but if you doubt it, simply seek out a live video on YouTube. She’s the real deal.

The musicianship is great, but their songs are quite intriguing lyrically; a lot of it dealing with their war torn homeland. And the diversity in their music is nuts. You’ll find anything ranging from death metal growls to straight thrash, to wild progressive time signatures, to even dabbling in rap and fucking reggae. They’re insane.

Best band in metal today, in my humble opinion, and I get to see them live in Lincoln in November. :banger:

rabbit holes or I need help

On a whim, I decided to take a look at BP's analytics on spyfu.com. Apparently BP's #5 competitor is dannemiller.net, a family blog that was last updated in 2008. It tells the story of Gabby and Scott Dannemiller (AKA Scabby), self described purveyors of peace throughout the free world.

This is Scott

Scott loves church stuff, laughing, making music, taking naps, ice cream, and being a bit obsessive compulsive about personal hygiene.

This is Gabby

Fun fact about gabby is that a stick of deodorant lasts her 2-3 years. This made me curious, If Scott is so OCD about personal hygiene how did he wind up with a horsey girl with an aversion to deodorant. Since the last time the blog was updated was 2008 I got worried that Scabby didn't make it. I started digging. I found Gabby's face book and LinkedIn profiles. Good news, they're still together. Scott wrote a book. Gabby is holding down two jobs.

Here's a recent photo of Scabby.

That sure is one ugly sweater.

Apparently Scott gets a little naughty when Gabby is out of town. When she's out of town, Scott doesn't put all of the pillows back on the bed. For reference, here's a picture of their bed.

How many pillows does a bed need?

Is it just me or are these people murdering hookers by the dozen.

2021 Tour de France

Off to a flying start as an ignorant fan caused a major crash by displaying a cardboard sign that extended into the Peloton.

Anxious to see her taken to the guillotine prior to tomorrows start.

And that was not the only major crash.

2021-2022 College Bowl Games

Talk show host Jimmy Kimmel gets college football bowl game named after him

Starting this postseason, there will be a college football bowl game named after a talk show host.

Jimmy Kimmel announced Wednesday night that the Dec. 18 bowl game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles will be known as the Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl.

Kimmel joked during “Jimmy Kimmel Live” about the company he joins having a bowl named after him.

“There are so many memorable colorful names – the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, the Tropical Smoothie Café Frisco Bowl, the LendingTree Bowl, the Cheese-It Bowl,” Kimmel said. “The list goes on and on. And ever since I was 52, which was last year, I have dreamed of having a college football bowl game named after me. And tonight I am thrilled to announce that dream is finally coming true.”

The game, which will feature the No. 1 team from the Mountain West Conference vs. the No. 5 team from the Pac-12, is set to be broadcast on ABC.

According to USA TODAY, it is accurate for Kimmel to say this is the first bowl game named after a person. There was a John Hancock Bowl named after an insurance company. Kimmel joked about “Papa John” not counting.

The same USA TODAY article notes that a company paid $300,000 in 2018 for naming rights to the Bahamas Bowl. It’s unclear how much Kimmel paid to have his name on the LA bowl game.

Just sayin': If Kimmel (or probably the network) only paid in the $300K range for naming rights, that's just "chump change" either of them. In addition, to providing some new/unique material for Kimmel's monologues; it's probably tax write off for either Kimmel or the network to advertise/promote his TV show too.
