This time of year, when the sun sets sooner, the leaves fall from the trees, the sky's become gloomy and grey, and the weather turns cold; I usually find myself listening to a lot of Doom Metal and Black Metal. This past week I've been listening to:

Immortal - At the Heart of Winter

Just watched the "Die Walkure" which is the second of four operas that Wagner did in his Ring Cycle. This is the story of Wotan, Brunnhilde, and the Walsung (two children of Wotan). When you hear the famous "Ride of the Valkyries" you're ready to go to war. It was used in Coppola's movie "Apocalypse Now" in the scene where Robert Duvall swoops in on a Viet Namese village leading 9 helicopters in an attack. This opera doesn't end well for anyone. Three hour and 45 minutes longs in three acts.

Just heard an all time favorite come over the XM while relaxing in the garage - Edison Lighthouse and “Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes” - has made my whole day!
"That was The Partridge Family's "Doesn't Somebody Want to be Wanted?", followed by Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows where my Rosemary Goes" as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70's weekend just keeps on... truckin'..... "
