“No sooner is Christmas in the bin than we’re thinking about Easter.”

The pine needle outlines tell me the bin men have finally disposed of the Christmas tree corpses that have besieged my street for a week. I’m Febreze-ing my bollocks-off this frosty Friday the 13th, because as chance would have it, I’m sat only in these pants, and last night saw fit to damn them to the stench of ‘Kaltenberg Hell’. Why don’t they arbitrarily randomize the smell of Febreze? This stink is an insinuation of filth. Much the same as Hospitals seem like they’re frantically distracting your olfactics from their clandestine death.

It’s refreshing to be away from the inner circle of the City Centre’s scene & herd – the overambitious bollocks of Atrocity Boys and cupcake-baking girls…but then again, this is the bohemian outpost, of which I’m swiftly reminded by a streetlamp in knitwear as I make my way down Wilbraham Road.

…

So,I'm so damn bored and I thought of doing this survey.

1. How did you get into 29?Arkona

Found this band on youtube while I was 'hunting' for some slavic folk metal bands.'Yarilo',''Slavsia,Rus' really got me the first time I heard those songs.

3. What’s your favourite lyric by 33?Led Zeppelin
Damn,such great lyrics they have but okay,here's just a part I just LOVE:
Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you --- No Quarter

4. What is your favourite album by 46? Deep Purple

Machine Head

Death Unlimited only.And it's not an original one.
