W is for Winterfylleth
by
Opal Zushaquon
I'm going to be honest and tell you that I don't know much about this band. They're fairly new, having formed in 2007. They're British. And they're well worth listening to if you're a fan of the Black Metal genre.
They do have an official website where you can go to learn more about them.
Winterfylleth might also be subcategorized as "Folk Metal." Their name means Winter Full Moon. Winterfylleth is also an Anglo-Saxon festival celebrating the arrival of winter. Their subject matter focuses on English folklore and history. Check them out!

A to Z Blogging Challenge: V is for Video Games
I could get my nephew and my guy's brother and my brother in law's brother in on it. We laugh and cuss a lot when we play games. Basically, we turn into a bunch of fourteen year olds. Our respective mates laugh at us and roll their eyes a lot.
Maybe one of these days I'll do it. As it is right now, I'm a very sporadic blogger.

TWILIGHT OF THE GODS
There is a serpent in every Eden
Slick as grease and cold as ice
There is a lie in every meaning
Rest assured to fool you twice
In this age of utter madness
We maintain we are in control
And ending life before deliverance
While countries are both bought and sold
Holy writtings hokus-pokus
Blaze of glory and crucifix
Prepried costly credit salvations
TV-preachers and dirty tricks
Don't trust nobody
It will cost you much too much
Beware of the dagger
It caress you at first touch
O, all small creatures
It is the twilight if the gods
When the foundations to our existence
Begins to crumble one by one
And legislations protects its breakers
And he who was wrong but paid the most won
Even the gods of countless religions
Holds no powers against this tide
Of degeneration because we have now found
That there is no thrones up there in the sky
Run from this fire
It will burn your very soul
Its flames reaching higher
Comed this far there is no hold
O, all small creatures
It is the twilight if the gods
(Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods
Twilight of the gods)

A to Z Blogging Challenge: I is for Icehouse
My cousin got me and my sister into Icehouse. They had a couple of hits here in the U.S. before their albums started ending up in the dollar bins. They're quite popular in Australia, their homeland, and deservedly so.
I was actually never as keen on their big hits such as "Crazy" and "Electric Blue" as I was on their deeper cuts. I love the above song, for instance.
On a personal note, it was one of those songs I cried in my beer to when I finally grew a pair and broke up with my emotionally abusive boyfriend of 8 years in 2005. Changed the lyric to "hey little boy" when I blubbered along. My family and friends were proud of me for kicking him to the curb, and I was proud of myself. I was okay during the day, but when the night fell, there I was sobbing my heart out to sad tunes.
This is one of my songs with my new guy, who my sister and brother in law introduced me to at a Halloween party in 2010. Kay, stop tearing up, you silly old queen. I've always been a bit of a wet blanket. I love my man. Never thought I'd be with anyone else, but now I've got someone to spend the rest of my life with.
Boys and girls, if you're Icehouse fans, I've got a treat for you!
On a side note, I saw my ex last summer when I was out with a couple of friends. He didn't see me and I didn't make any effort to alert him to my presence. He was still the same. Wavy highlighted hair, tight pants, obsessively toned body, real pretty.
Did I feel any nostalgia? No, I felt relief that he was out of my life. Being a party boy and picking up dick wherever you can find it is not a good look when you're in your mid forties. The pretty is all he has. I'm pretty sure he also still has a love for nose candy. It's actually kind of sad.
Icehouse is one of those bands that writes songs for life's soundtrack. Yeah, that sounds cheesy. But that's how I feel. They're a great, underrated band.

F is for Folk Music
by
Opal Zushaquon
Folk Music is actually a very broad category. It can refer to traditional music from any part of the world. It can also refer to music made during the folk revival of the 20th century.
Folk music can be fused with other types of music, i.e. folk rock and folk metal.
All sorts of instruments can be utilized in folk music. The songs tell stories, or are made to be danced to. One might say that the purpose behind folk music is to bring people together.
