The recent death of singer LG Petrov prompted me to listen to this marvel again.
It’s the Entombed album I listen(ed) to. It’s so damn heavy and the drumming immediately brings me in a good mood. Just listen to the title track. Banger!

A rewatch. Still very funny. 70 minutes hilariously well spent! And bonus points for being in b/w.
We’ve been making these veggie burgers with beetroot-based patties for a while now. They are delicious.
So I think the search for a great patty has ended.

Learning Crystal Mountain on guitar. Death is always much fun to play. And this is such a great album!
Not a film for claustrophobics! I found this ok. The psychological interplay between the three characters trapped way underground was interesting, although not 100% convincing. The movie also should have better explained why things happened or needed to happen a certain way. As a person unfamiliar with underground tunnel-digging, I was wondering what was going on at times.

Been listening to this track a lot, because I was learning that middle section on guitar.
Since watching “Everest”, we got into a bit of a mountaineering-movie fever I guess. This one is about the 2008 K2 disaster, featuring interviews and original footage, combined with re-enacted scenes to fill the gaps.
Again, I found this fascinating, simply by the topic itself. However, the movie was a bit confusing concerning where everyone was at what time, or why/when/how people got in trouble – or not. And the occasional non-linear timeline added to the confusion. Plus, the parts about the Italian mountaineer that was part of the first successful K2 summit in the fifties was redundant, in my opinion.
But overall, an interesting film about a K2 expedition gone wrong. But I had to consult Wikipedia afterwards to fully understand what was going on.
