Naked City, ‘Torture Garden’ (1990)
From Wikipedia
…Torture Garden is an album by John Zorn’s band Naked City featuring Yamatsuka Eye on vocals. The album is a compilation of the “hardcore miniatures” that were also released on Naked City and Grand Guignol. Unlike other Naked City albums, there are no breaks between the individual tracks, giving the impression that the album features only one long, uninterrupted piece…
The Allmusic review by Bradley Torreano awarded the album 4 stars stating “Songs blur together but never get boring, no lyrics are actually sung, and few songs last longer than a minute. It also never takes itself seriously, a nice relief from Zorn’s heavy-handed ambiient collaborations. This would make a great introduction to the noise/jazz efforts that this group of musicians pioneered in the early 1990s.”[1]…
Genre Jazzcore, Grindcore (whatever that is)
25 minutes of pure pain to listen to, but again, the no-skip-rule always applies.

Eyehategod, ‘Take as Needed for Pain’ (1993)
Heavy matter…again making me regret the “no skip”-rule. Metal yes, but I could not stand the vocal. Not a winner at all. But at least, when the album was done, the next song that Spotify randomly picked was by the band Orange Goblin, and that is really my kind of music. So at least one good thing came out of the 1 hour and 11 minutes of the Eyehategod-listening terror.
No more automatic posting to Facebook
Got the following notice from dlvr.it – which I use to post to my personal Facebook-page
Hello,
Facebook recently made a number of updates to their platform aimed at improving their ecosystem and reducing misuse and spam. One of these changes includes eliminating the ability for third party apps (such as dlvr.it), to post to personal Facebook Profiles.
Effective August 1st, you will no longer be able to post to personal Facebook Profiles via dlvr.it.
dlvr.it will continue to support posting to Facebook Pages and Groups.
This update is part of a broader change that Facebook is making to enhance platform experience and prevent misuse of personal accounts.
We’re optimistic these changes will ultimately benefit Facebook users, even if there is some near-term pain.
I’m in need of a JCB Fastrack
Yesterday, got overtaken by another tractor. Need to win in the lottery and buy a JCB Fasttrack to keep up with the speed of these modern tractors. I actually thought I had to slow down when he did try to overtake me, but no – I did not need to, he passed me in just a few seconds… doh!!
Fetsund timber booms
Yesterday me and the boys went to Fetsund timber booms where we spent a couple of hours together with Kent. Nice weather and a lot of people. The two oldest ones did not want to go, they said it would be boring…did not hear them complain at all when there. Just remember to borrow a life jacket when out on the floating paths, we did not and it made me a bit stressed when carrying the youngest one and watching the two others.
At the cinema: Dunkirk
Saturday evening, went to the cinema for the first time in many, many years. Did watch Dunkirk, a good one!

The toodler crib, or “my prison bed” as named by #3, has now been disassembled and is now out in the barn.
