The National-Rains of Castamere
This is the song at the end of Game of Thrones Episode 19:”Blackwater”. It is also the song that Bronn sings earlier in the episode, and the song that will be played at a certain Red Wedding.
Chelsea Wolfe- Halfsleeper
Sangre de Muerdago- Onde as almas van a morrer
Sangre de Muerdago is a Spanish (neo?) folk band that has been around for awhile, but was just brought to America this year via the Brave Mysteries record label. The band has its origins in black metal, which is quite evident in most of the songs off their self-titled debut album. They do not explicity call themselves neofolk, but it is pretty easy to guess where they draw their inspiration from. A pretty authentic approach to modern folk music.
Brothertiger- Lovers(Casa Del Mirto Remix)
Agalloch- Where Shade Once Was
Single off the 2010 oak folk compliation. Song sounds kinda like Sol Invictus.
KMFDM- Liebeslied
It has been exactly one year since the last time I did heroin. In the months leading up to this, I wanted to celebrate this milestone, but this week I began to realize that it is not really something worth celebrating. It is like, ” Congrats, youre not slowly killing yourself with an illegal and highly toxic drug”. Again, not something to really be proud of. Im not ashamed, either, it just is what it is; I made a decision a year ago and stuck with it. Is my life better for it? Absolutely. I am back in school and im getting better grades and writing better poetry than I ever have before. I am more or less a functioning member of society these days. This is expected of most people, though. Its not an accomplishment when you are finally doing something you were supposed to be doing all along.
In the last year, I have begun to realize how surrounded by idiots I am, and how terrible my hometown is; sobriety will make you realize things like this. A lot of the people i called my “friends” last year, I really dont care much about hanging out with them or ever seeing them again; most of them are so wrapped up in thier drugs and scenes, theyve become a caricature of the people they used to be. That being said, There are about 4 people That are the exception to this rule, and I hope they realize this. So instead of hanging out with my “friends” and getting drunk to celebrate being off heroin for a year, I am going to take my brother and cousin to see the Avengers, because it is important to them. I couldnt be any happier to spend my friday this way.
I fully intend on making myself sparse this summer, as summer jobs and classes are far more important to me than being bored off my ass/smoking pot in some HoCo parent house, or Hanging out with a bunch of drug-obsessed 18-20 year olds born and raised in the suburbs, who have nothing to contribute other than things I already know and probably do not like.
However, I am, and hopefully always will be, down to go to most metal shows in the various nearby cities.
