Drew Carey enthusiastically praising the Phish
Carey likes Phish, eh. I need to listen to them. I have probably heard them but there's no Phish entry in my brain's music library for some reason.
OTOH, in my world "phish" has taken on a rather negative connotation, being associated with hackers trying to scam people or steal passwords.

My thing is - what if the submarine was driven and co-piloted by the octopus and the walrus? And what if it was a killer submarine?
The weirdness gets into that zone. Not those specifics but very weird. OTOH, the soundtrack is basically a Beatles greatest hits so the music is fantastic.
At first blush, LOTR. Long overdue for another pass at it. Though I have never read Narnia all the way through so perhaps that.
The novels or the movie/TV adaptations? (For either)

Never heard of "The Last of Us"
Acclaimed sf TV series based on a videogame series that has fungus-based zombies (inspired by an actual fungus).
Stormy Saturday here. How's thing in your neck of the woods?
We've got some Muskoka Loon Call Breakfast Blend ready if coffee's your thing. Tea-wise, there's Organic Darjeeling and Buddha's Blend. Cold beverages and sodas are looking good.
Nine in the comp. Hoping we might see more but we shall see. I've got a couple more to read from the current lot but I'm please to say, it seems to be good, interesting mix of takes on the theme.

Tomorrow I leave for my long-weekend vacation up north. I will be going with my family and my dogs to a cabin that overlooks a river and is next to a mountain and forest.
Want to trade vacations? That sounds more appealing than my cruise right now. Have fun!
Good morning and welcome to Inspirations!
Who know what this day will bring? Joys? Sorrows? New comp entries? Only time will tell.
But to carry us through all that, we have coffee from Jamaica, a nice medium roast Blue Mountain. For teas, we have Darjeeling and Russian Caravan. Hot water is on for other hot bevvies. And there's our usual pitchers of iced tea and lemonade along with an assortment of sodas for those seeking something chilly.
Dance while you can!
Edit: Actually, the new song is on there and it is 8+ minutes. However, it is mostly there because the album isn't out and you can't really download individual songs for offline play on Amazon. Once the album is out, it might get bumped, especially if I like other songs on Yesterwynde more.

And, of course, this...
It's telling that I don't even need to play that to know what it is. Still might be Tuomas' finest composition, at least in the metal realm. I recently put together a playlist of Nightwish on my Amazon Music account and Ghost Love Score is the only one of the long works to make the cut (The Poet and The Pendulum might if I expand it further). I call it Nights of Wishing but something better might come along eventually. Ever Dream of Nemo Wishing I Had an Angel or something weird and cutesy like that.
Could we get the ability to link to a specific profile post similar to how we can a forum post? I thought we could be apparently I am wrong. Would be nice if we are using the profile wall for "blog" type posts that we might want to share elsewhere. Linking could also be a way to encourage people I am sharing with to visit here.

While You Lips Are Still Red - Tuomas Holopainen and Marko Hietala
Never seen the movie but I love the song, esp. the live performance from Wembley with Floor singing backup and Troy doing an electric guitar solo (Emppu was on a break during that part of the show it seems). It's the one that taught me that Marko can hold his own as a singer, not that there was much doubt, and pretty much turned me into a Marko Hietala fan.
Kicking 454 is brewing. Got some Irish Breakfast and Earl Grey Supreme ready for tea drinkers along with hot water. Cold beverages are made up fresh. Soda stock looks good.
Back to toying with finally doing a new story in the universe of "Night of the Wind". It was originally supposed to kick off a series set in the remote border/trade town of Avenigar with Dev, Niomi, and Jaira as the main characters. Basic plan was a "fantasy Western" about weird stuff happening to the "sheriff" of (Dev), his deputy (Jaira), and the town priestess (Niomi) who also happens to be a magic-user/witch. But somehow I got off track after publishing "Night..." and never did the next one I had in mind. I actually have notes for two more stories about Avenigar kicking around, both leaning a bit darker than the first and even getting a bit into horror.
Much as I love Floor, I also love Tarja. Once is their best album for sure. Not a bad track or filled and the original lineup (well, Marko Hietala wasn't original but sure felt like it at times) were at the peak of their power.
Once of the first Nightwish songs I heard was this banger from Once. Tarja and Marko at their finest.
