We’ve opted to stay in the hotel for another night. The sleet is rough, and I’m really…really tired from yesterday. Slow and steady wins the race, after all.

Well that didn’t go as planned lol. Turns out the blizzard that’s hitting Vermont this weekend decided to come a little early, so we had to scramble to get the camper packed today after making the drive from Ohio, then drive the rig to Albany through snow. We’ll finish this tomorrow, just glad to be parked away from the bulk of the snow.

Looks like Meta kept good on its promise, and has started opening Threads to the fediverse. Looks like it’s opt-in. Clever. Catch up, Twitter!

Wait, I’m seeing music that’s from 2023 that sounds like 2001. Rap-infused metal, drop-C tonality.
…is Nu-Metal cool again?

Myrath popped up on my feed today and I’m really diggin’ it. It’s a curious mix of sounds. Instrumentation that reminds me of Septicflesh, but with vocals that are more akin to Queensryche, with some badass slap bass underneath. I guess the Septicflesh bit is because I listen to Communion pretty often, and that album has some themes from the same part of the world as Myrath’s general sound. I guess according to Every Noise at Once, Myrath falls under “Arab Metal“.
Feeling like Hep Alien over here with my “x meets y” description lol

It’s dark out. Thanks DST. With that, I offer you the aptly named “dramatically lit Massachusetts cup.” 😅
Feeling like being somewhere else today, so I figured one of my Been There cups felt appropriate.

I can’t stop listening to this album. There’s something about the 1800’s era Americana theme, combined with…just really catchy melodies. I’ve actually listened to it so much that it’s caused me to watch documentaries about “Ohio Fever” and “The Year Without a Summer”.
Funny, since we just came back to Ohio after our 4 years on the road. Maybe we had Ohio Fever, too.
