Third World Chaos: Grave in the Sky

Real and raw metal out of Chakrapath, Nepal. I honestly don't know if these guys are still around, but even if they are not still together in this band, I hope they are still playing. Great musicians!

KHEL 666 Food: James Martin's Food Map of Britain: Lincolnshire and the Flatlands

This is Episode 9 of Season 1.

Sweet-natured James is sort of the anti Gordon Ramsay. Dahlings, I love Gordon. I get such a big kick out of his potty mouth and his curmudgeonly behavior. If someone gives Gordon a ration of shit, he sets in on fire and throws it back at them with a grenade added for good measure. Gordon looks for what's wrong and tries to set it right in his own unique, foul-mouthed way.

James, on the other hand, looks for and finds the good. He's like a bright ray of sunshine rising in a happy morning sky. I almost expect him to be accompanied by a choir of happy bluebirds as he and his pet unicorn travel the land leaving rainbows behind as a cheery sunshine smiles through the clouds after them.

Kitchen Tips: Cleaning Stainless Steel Cookware

No need for expensive chemicals. Just dab a cloth in white vinegar and wipe away the mineral deposits. White vinegar is inexpensive and safe. I also like to use it in my laundry as an alternative to bleach.

Netherworld Cinema: Cut/Print

Cut/Print is an independently produced 2012 horror film. The full movie can be viewed here.

How far will one go for fame and what happens when things go too far?

I am not a fan of slasher films or shaky-cam style. However, the shaky cam works to provide a grungy feel which is actually in the film's favor. 

While there is gore, it is not the central focus of the movie. The horror is on a more psychological level than most slasher flicks provide. 

If you enjoy gritty, low-budget films and are into the slasher genre, you might really appreciate this film. While it doesn't make my top ten list, I actually found it more interesting than I thought I would. I respect the effort the filmmakers put into their project with an obviously very minimal budget. 

I appreciated Cut/Print more than I do most slasher films.

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: Television Tropes: F is for Forensic Documentary

Forensic documentaries show actual footage from crime scenes and autopsies, and sometimes include re-enactment of crimes. HBO's Autopsy series began running in 1994 and wrapped up in 2008. It featured actual photos from crime scenes and autopsies as well as commentary from the forensic pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden.

While it might seem that only the most truly depraved of souls would be interested in such a program, there is educational value for individuals who might be interested in pursuing careers in criminal justice, forensics, medicine, or psychology. I am personally interested in true crime shows because during my entire life, I've wondered what can cause a person to completely lack empathy and to enjoy hurting and killing others.

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: Television Tropes: C is for Cop Show AKA Crime Drama

Cop shows/crime dramas are a staple of television viewing. Over the years, they have become more graphic and intense, and, in some cases, less realistic. I enjoy watching CSI, but no forensic examiner in her right mind would be wearing a low-cut blouse and have her hair down while examining a cadaver. Shows like CSI tend to be splashy and sexy and rely on CGI effects.

Shows such as True Detective have a grittier feel. True Detective is a Southern Gothic/Noir style series which ran from January 2014 to March 2014. A second season is pending. You can watch scenes from the show's first season, such as this one on You Tube. Unfortunately, the embedding has been disabled.

Video Game: Citizens of Earth

I might actually be interested in playing this. It doesn't seem to require any more manual dexterity than Pokemon. However, it would require me getting a PS4 console.

Ravenface: Take Them All

The Brits continue to produce some of the best metal in the world. Listen to Ravenface, a fine band that I just discovered and will certainly be listening to in the future! This tune hits hard and cuts deep, with powerful guitar riffs, hammering drums, throbbing bass, and glorious, powerful vocals rising above the fray. Truly worth a listen for anyone who enjoys their metal!

KHEL 666 Technology Bytes: Safe Driving Software

Technology Can Stop Texting and Driving

Once when my car had to be towed, I rode along with the tow truck driver. He was texting along down the highway at 65 MPH. I'm a dyed in the wool agnostic, but I was praying to whatever powers there be that I not end up dead in a twisted heap of metal on the side of the highway because of this fellow's decision to text and drive!
