Holy Crap! RVG:TZM was mentioned in a Real Publication

Northern Virginia Magazine had an article in 2008 that very briefly mentioned Recently Vacated Graves! Here's the article.

All they really said is "mucho props to whoever came up with that one." (That "whoever" is me.) Still pretty awesome!

I also found this great quote on another website:
This [RVG] is a mix of well-crafted classic thrash and brutal death-metal outbursts. There are also gothic/black metal passages accompanied by organs and keyboards where there is an inclusion of declamatory vocals, too, in addition to the "duel" between the deep growls and the black-ish vicious snarls. You wouldn't be surprised if I tell you that quite often do the thrashy sections get lost in the rest which is sad, since when they're there, the music really takes off.
I find that rather interesting because I thought Former Human Sergeant had too many thrashy parts and it was getting a bit stale. Nonetheless, this guy is going to like the next CD!

We Should Have More States

We haven't admitted a new state into the Union since 1959! We were on a roll since the late 1700s. By the 20th century we got lazy (which is a trend for Americans it seems) and barely added any more states for quite a while. I say we should pick up the pace of the 1800s again so we can have 100 states by 2100, damnit! But first we need to make up for lost time. Dividing Texas into 8 states (none of which may be named Texas) and adding DC and Puerto Rico would be a good start.

I didn't notice the divide by zero, so even if you assume commutativity, STUDY still doesn't equal FAIL.

Europe 2010: Karlstad, Sverige

More pictures from my August European trip.





Toppings: ham, pineapple, banana, peanuts, curry powder. Not bad, surprisingly.
