Once again, it's been awful durn quiet round these here parts. If it wasn't for the valiant few keeping us going, sure I wouldn't have anything to update you on. And then there's my usual contributions of course. What? You don't want to read about my journals? Well tough, cos you're going to. But first...
After a rather odd week which resulted in a perma-ban for
The Batlord, he quickly returned, and it's just as well, as he has
Deathcore Month (or is it week?) to prepare in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ite-about.html. Kicking off with some colourful bands – The Red Chord, the Black Dahlia Murder – then alliteration comes into play with Despised Icon and Deadwater Drowning. None of which interests me, but if you're into Deathcore – well, he's not exactly enthusing over it, but he is doing
something over it ...
A fun read, as always.
There's certainly fun to be had in Batty's journal, but just
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...obably-dl.html and number 93 on
Goofle's list is
Dangerous Woman from Ariana Grande.
Meanwhile there's a mystery going on in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nnerspace.html, where
innerspaceboy is trying to get us to guess the title of the book he is excited about finally tracking down. Oh, and Weird Al, too. This guy is just plain nuts, probaby why we love him.
There are game symphonies in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...usic-hall.html while in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...is-arcade.html he's introducing us to Danny Baranowsky. Who? Well apparently he created the soundtrack to some rad games, such as
Crypt of the NecroDancer, The Binding of Isaac (remember
Ki going on about this game a few years back) and
Super Meat Boy. Oh, and Ki's Picks are coming up too...
Neapolitan is checking out Middle Class in

And once again one of my journals subdivides. This time it's
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...-emporium.html, where we're saying goodbye to the “cinematic” part of the title and moving all the films to a separate journal, while here we're checking out the latest episodes from Futurama.
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-2000-ad.html takes us into the weird, darkly disturbing yet funny world of Nemesis the Warlock, while we go back “Over the Garden Wall” in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ive-metal.html to sample
Dracula's Music Cabinet and Catherine Ribeiro, returning in time to check out Renaissance's debut. Getting close to the end of 1969 now.
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...i-reviews.html makes a welcome (?) return in a changed format, with reviews (as such) of albums by, among others, Casting Crowns, If These Trees Could Talk and Low. Moving on to the dreaded Beefheart in The Great Discography Project over at
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html while my new offshoot journal,
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...ox-office.html has reprints of
Dust Devil, Dark Star, The Odd Couple and
Downfall, and finally there's a new journal from me as I explore the history of classical music in
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...c-journal.html.
Zero is back to close us out with
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...nal-sound.html.
and speaking of my fellow Irishman
After a year away, it's his journal that wins the award this week. He's having a little writer's block apparently, so hopefully that will clear up and we'll be hearing from him again real soon.
No contest for this week's
Funniest Post
of the Week!
Although he didn't update his journal as such, this post from Justthefacts says more about him than you ever want to know. Add in the fact that it was his first post in five months, and well, there just is no other possible winner, is there?

Anyone remember Lucky Girl? Thought not. Let me refresh your memory: she was the one who seemed to be copying material verbatim from Wiki and using that as her pathetic excuse for entries in what she laughingly called her journal. Challenged on it, she continued to do this and then decided to convert us all to Christianity instead. Needless to say she was laughed at, though I suppose in fairness if nothing else her journal did excite some interest, even if it was only people checking in to talk to each other about her poor entries and how she might be a sockpuppet. At any rate, she didn't last, as you can see from the below, and just as well too. Who needs another religious nut telling us how to live our lives? Which reminds me: can I interest you in this six-DVD introduction to the Church of Trollheart?

Graveyard Ranking: Just a hole in the ground, not even a marker, not even a wooden cross. Perhaps not even a hole; she and her crappy attempt at a journal may just have been consigned to the flames. Would be the most interesting thing that ever happened to it.
And so we end another update. See you all again in seven!
Toodles!
