Yesterday, when I started this post, my intention was to cover several subjects: why I haven’t posted last week (been busy and away), my trip to Cologne (had a great time, see some photo’s at Flickr), the Oberhausen version of Tanz der Vampire (’twas awesome) and Within Temptation’s theater tour (they should play without all [...]
This week, Last.FM suggested I should listen to Axl Rose & Meat Loaf. As a knowledgable Meat Loaf fan and occasional Guns ‘n Roses listener, that irked me beyond belief, as no such thing exists. The song floating around as being “[King] Herod’s Song” (from “Jesus Christ Superstar”) by Axl Rose and Meat Loaf, Guns [...]
Let’s see: a post about Jim Steinman, one about Meat Loaf, wouldn’t that mean that another Stephen King one should follow right about now? And by the needle work of Freyja, here it is!

So all I be saying, be this: yarr!

For those of you who didn’t catch yesterday’s hint: I’m back home in Amersfoort. There’s still some work left to be done on my knee, which does of course mean that I’m still walking around with two of those damned crutches, but still: I’m home.
On a entirely coincidental side note: tomorrow I’m going to see [...]
