Squat Cobbler 58: Burzum – Filosofem (review)

This week we review Burzum’s Filosofem.  There is quite a bit of discussion of separating the artist from the art this episode.  Spanning black metal, dark ambient, and (according to Kelly) goth surf music, there is a lot to take in on this album.

And apparently, the good folks at VH1 agree…

One word: GUS! <commence all the squeeing>

 

 

 

I think we both agree this episode had lots of important info and themes present throughout.

N&S – Ep 153 – Happiness and Conspiracy Theories

Sorry for all the little crashes in the background. The hellcats were in exceptional form and it overwhelmed my editing ability. ~M

 

Mel’s Rec:

Book/Audiobook: The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t stand Positive Thinking by Oliver Burkeman

  • I found this book to be far, far more entertaining than I possibly could have imagined.
  • I listened to the Audible version, but do have the physical book as well.
  • This book covers the philosophies of the Stoics and Buddhism to help us understand that things could always be worse.
  • I had a couple of lightbulb moments, perhaps you will too.

 

 

Kelly’s Rec:

Book: Best Evidence by David S Lifton

  • An interesting theory about the JFK assassination.
  • Kelly won’t give the the theory away, but it sounds fascinating.
  • He started out being troubled by the physics of the Zapruder film, but ended up going far deeper.
  • This doesn’t appear to be available as an ebook, so go check out your library or used bookstore to check it out.

The Richard Belzer book, Mel mentioned is here.

 

 

 

Social Media Corner:

 

@FearTWD: SO Kelly is finally warming up to Fear the Walking Dead since Morgan and some new faces are wandering over. Follow along.

Squat Cobbler 54: Ace Frehley – Ace Frehley (review)

Mike and Kelly continue their album review “music prisoner exchange” with Ace Frehly’s 1978 solo album.  Kelly admits to be a recovering Kiss fan and that he shelled out money for all four Kiss solo albums to secure this wonderful piece of fine art..

There was agreement it was a very enjoyable album due to some great music and guitar work, but the lyrical content was a tad thin… and we don’t mean maybe.

Mike mentioned a Lords of London version of the single off this album, “New York Groove”. And while Kelly couldn’t find that, he did stumble across this gem.
