I’m mainly in love with the sound of this album. But it’s also an easy album to like musically: well-done good old old-school Swedish death metal à la Dismember and Entombed. Just listen to “Funeral Anthem” to get a rotten taste!
Also: how can one not love that cover artwork?
Suspenseful and overall well done. Certainly had parallels to Blue Ruin. But the latter was better.
This is a beautifully made book with great photos and inspiring approaches on how and where to live.
Unfortunately, though, I found this too superficial. Maybe that’s fair enough, since it’s actually more of a photo book than a “book” book. But I was hoping a little more for stories about what it’s like and what it really means to live off grid in these housings. So, in this regard it was a little disappointing.
But this reminds me to check Foster’s blog again, which I remember to be more insightful1.
… but which I haven’t followed in recent years, because the RSS feed was and still is broken. And which – sadly – is (by far) not an isolated case for RSS feeds. I’m sorry for this brief appendix rant about the state of RSS… ↩

This was a whole lot of fun! Unrealistic, nonsensical, and over-the-top fun. A bit too self-indulgent (for Tarantino), and partly because of that a little bit too long. But overall dialogues, filming and the action were great! That car crash and the final car chase were simply spectacular.
For some reason, I was listening to this last Sunday. I haven’t listened to Deicide in years. But it remained in rotation.
It’s Easter after all.
This was ok. It was mainly interesting because of how it was “filmed”: completely through computer UI. And it was suspenseful. But in the end story didn’t make a whole lot of sense.
I still wish more people/bands/utilities/companies/restaurants had RSS feeds, so this wouldn’t even be necessary.
Oh, sweet: NetNewsWire – my RSS reader of choice – added the ability to subscribe to Twitter timelines.
I recently came across their remarkable videos again. While a while back I mostly listened to their debut and “Murder the Mountains”, this time I’m givin’ their latest output a few spins. And I am not disappointed!
Videos are now served via HTTPS. This fixes playback in Google Chrome. For now, I uploaded a manually generated Let’s Encrypt certificate to my HostEurope webspace for that subdomain. So now, videos should finally be working for most people!
Gestern auf die “Heavy Metal”-Playlist von Amazon Music gestoßen. Als erstes kommt Iron Maiden, dann Metallica, und danach – natürlich – als drittes – ganz klar – gleiche Liga! – …
… Guano Apes! 🤷♂️
Argh! I didn’t know Chrome doesn’t allow mixed content (HTTPS + HTTP) anymore. So, I should get SSL sorted for my newly created videos.danielpietzsch.com subdomain.
Update: Sorted!
Das Kind hat woanders übernachtet. Endlich mal wieder in Ruhe Sonntagmorgens im Wohnzimmer Death Metal hören.
I think Part 3 was a great movie. The story probably wasn’t as enthralling as in the other two, so I think I agree with most critics it’s the least favourite film of the trilogy. But the whole opera bit at the end, that scream (!), and the end scene were very much worth it.
This was trying too hard being bizarre. It’s tricky to make a bizarre movie. And in this case it didn’t do it for me. I think it also wanted to be funny. I didn’t agree very often (and the jokes sometimes went too far for me). Great cast, though.

Part 2 is on par with part 1, sharing the same minor criticism and major praise. Loved the background story about Vito Corleone’s life and how he became the “original” Godfather.
