Sep. 9th, 2006 04:28 pmI'm unemployed! For this weekend anyway. Yesterday I finished at my telecoms/finance job and on Monday I start working on computer game development. If nothing else it should be more interesting, and I'll get to draw upon my skills more. Leaving on Friday was a bit sad actually, as I get sentimental easily and everybody was really pleasant in saying goodbye at the end. They were probably just glad I was leaving though. :)
My last cd purchase post was here. Having listened to those, I shall rate them thus:
5 out of 5:
October Tide - Grey Dawn
Novembre - Dreams D'Azur
Sentenced - The Funeral Album
4 out of 5:
Beseech - Souls Highway
Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns
Still It Cries - Take Leave
3 out of 5:
Opeth - Deliverance
Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin
2 out of 5:
Sentenced - North From Here
Need more listens to judge:
Tiamat - Clouds
Cemetary - Sundown
Old Man's Child - Ill-Natured Spiritual Invasion
Lacuna Coil - The EPs
Since then, I've bought the following:
Crematory - Illusions
Crematory - Awake
Crematory - Transmigration
Crematory - s/t
Iron Maiden - A Matter Of Life And Death
Celtic Frost - Monotheist
Sentenced - The Cold White Light
Sentenced - Down
Sentenced - Frozen
Hypocrisy - The Fourth Dimension
Doom:VS - Aeternum Vale
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Morgion - Among Majestic Ruin
Lake Of Tears - BlackBrickRoad
Arch Enemy - Anthems Of Rebellion
I'm currently listening to the Doom:VS album. This album - and definitely the current track - certainly conforms to doom metal rule 39; it is "crushing," "monolithic," "depressive," and "suicidal". And that is a good thing.
I just bought an orchestral 'virtual instrument' for recording, well, orchestral stuff like strings and choirs. My band isn't going to be a live concern in the forseeable future due to a complete lack of suitable candidates, so I may as well write stuff that works better recorded than live. Shame the person selling me the orchestra stuff left it until after I paid for the product to mention the additional $30 delivery charge. Grrrr.
Yet again, the place I am living in has been sold to a new landlord. This time, the guy has no intention of turfing everybody out. However it does lead me to contemplate the legal issues of all this. I don't doubt that the old landlord has the right to sell the house. However he can't sell my tenancy, surely. It's a signed contract made between me and him, not me and whoever he decides to pass it on to. You can't just assign those to anybody; what if the second person is not someone I would choose to enter into a binding agreement with? I wonder if the old landlord is still liable for ensuring my services, and so on. In particular, the hot water has stopped working, and I told the new guy about this earlier, who is going to attempt to fix it in an hour or two when he gets here. It would be nice to have a shower without the risk of dying of hypothermia.
