The Playlist of Life --- Trollheart's resurrected Journal

I'm quite serious guys. I was as surprised as anyone to find that I didn't hate this. I kept waiting, waiting for the thing that was gonna reach out and rip my throat out and, you know, it never came. I was just awestruck, so much so that I wondered was I listening to the right album, but yeah, it seems to have been. This is the link I used by the way...

I'm sort of thinking maybe I've progressed to the point where I'm able to listen to, or at least endure, anything. Some stuff bores me of course, some stuff makes me laugh and some stuff grates on me, but I'm unsure that I've yet come across anything that can actually repulse me. That's NOT a challenge by the way: I'm sure there's plenty of death-jazz-punk-grindcore-hiphop albums out there that would send me screaming. But I listened to Marduk and thought that was ok, so whether I'm just getting more accepting in my old old age, or learning to appreciate different music (disclaimer: this does not include grindcore) I don't know. If it truly was supposed to blow me apart then I'm proud to say it didn't. I honestly thought you were all just making it seem more horrible than it was, just to scare me.

Anyway Batty, now that I've withstood the worst you can throw at me, how about YOU try a spell in MY dungeon huh? I can think of some prog albums that would have you crying for your momma!

Prog makes me cry for nothing, it just puts me in a catatonic stupor of boredom. Do your worst.
