Can’t Fight This Feeding

I can't fight this feeding any longer And yet I'm still afraid to let it show What started out as small waist, has grown larger I only wish they made much bigger burritos I belt myself but I can't hold out forever I said there is no reason for my fear 'Cause I feel so secure when I'm eating It gives my gut direction It makes everything so clear And even as I hunger I'm keeping you in sight You're like a candy store window On a cold, dark winter's night And I've ate more helpings than I ever thought…

Lindemann’s ‘On Quiet Nights’ Released

Till Lindemann -- frontman from the German metal band Rammstein, also releasing a promisingly twisted new solo album this month -- has just published the English translation of his poetry collection, On Quiet Nights (aka In Stillen Nachten), through my favorite indie publisher, Raw Dog Screaming Press.

You should check out the beautiful National Geographic photogallery of Hunting Narwhals to see the real things.

I especially like the way the shots from the Judas Priest Epitaph tour turned out. The above shot is actually one I did NOT post to the flickr gallery, because it uses the same photo as another one I altered that is a bit cooler ("Metal on Metal").  But I like it...even if, for some reason, it reminds me of The Walking Dead comic series. Comments always welcome, anywhere on the…
