you've not brought a lot to the table to be honest. i admire your enthusiasm but that's where it ends pal.

Idk I'd argue that burzum has always been a bit rubbish.

No I'm serious, but it's actually more a case of "ok, I know nothing about this band I've stumbled upon so let's have a quick look at this band's lyrics/interviews to check there's no racist or outright nazi themes, and do a bit of research to check their members have no links to nsbm and no one's accused them of…

I think the leap from a website to executing people is a bit of a big one. No, let's stick with a database that helps people avoid racism.

I doubt they'd go for that to be honest. Sounds like a logistical nightmare. Though perhaps I can assume the bands willing to take the test in principle are the non-racist ones, while the ones that refuse are probably racist? I don't know, it's not quite airtight enough for me.

Slightly inaccurate reading there pal - I rely on the advice of mates who know more about black metal than me to tell me if they know whether a band is racist or not to avoid the half-hour of digging through old blog posts etc. myself before giving them a go. I don't want to listen to racist black metal bands. If…

Good work.

"Metal fans, particularly young metal fans, care mostly about the music above all else. I doubt many of them truly care if the song is glorifying nazi's or denigrating nazi's - if it sounds good and gives them the mood/sound they want to listen to, they'll listen to it."

I feel like there's definitely some non-racist, non-murderer Burzum clones out there you could listen to instead doing basically the same thing, though.

Yeah a lot of it is rubbish. I mostly only like hipster bullshit black metal like Deafheaven or Clouds Collide or Wolves In The Throne Room which is basically just shoegaze with blast-beats and a bit of low-in-the-mix screaming.

Everything you need to know about Black Metal you can learn from Me and My Black Metal Friends by Atom and His Package.

Still angry that the council pays watchers but doesn't support the slayer. Bit ridiculous! Really should have come up in the show to be honest, rather than forcing Buffy to feel guilty when Giles gives her money.

I've actually been reading about this in Franz Nicolay (of the Hold Steady)'s tour memoir where he travels through Russia and other former-Soviet European cultures. At its simplest, the easiest way to be counter-cultural and anti-government under communism was basically just to latch on to fascist and Nazi imagery and…

It's a legit struggle - I like black metal but seriously cannot listen to any band without some research or a couple of people I trust signing off on the fact that they are definitely not racist. I've been planning a database website called "Is This Black Metal Band Racist?" for a while now. Anyone want to get on…

This was definitely a tumblr account a few years ago. A lot of these captions ring some bells, too. HMM.

Right! I can't imagine a world in which Twilight Princess is a bad game just because the first hour of a 20-30hr+ game is a little slow (i'd call it leisurely, personally) and it follows a familiar structure, but for some reason some people are determined to call it shit these days.

Ha! Looks like I'll wait until it's reduced/pre-owned/in an e-shop sale I guess. It looks fun though! My video game-hating partner wants to have a go with it. Though I think the next thing I buy will be Fast RMX from the eshop.

Already has for me tbh, it's great!

I am so close to being able to play this. Come on work day. End already. I have honestly not felt like this since 2002, sat at school, waiting to get home and finally play my Gamecube.

I wanted 1-2-Switch too but they'd sold out! Though I feel like Bomberman will last me much longer. Also picked up some individual Joy-con grips as they really are ridiculously small to use on their own for multiplayer.
