Down – Over the Under

July 13th, 2010 | by Kita-Jin
Posted In: Blog


I realized two things today; 1) I am extremely bored, and 2) I haven’t written about music in ages.  Thankfully the later can be remedied quite easily and I am wonder if the people in the apartment across the street is doing porn or something because that cameraflash that keeps going off in there just in the corner of my eye is getting rather annoying… Or maybe it’s lightening, I don’t know. Anyhoo, where the hell was I? Ah, yes, confounding and confusing flash of light, you nearly had me loosing my train of thought for a second, but I remember now! Writing about music. I am not the most well versed in the finer subtleties of the wast and wonderful world of music, but as the saying goes, “I know what I like”, so I’m gonna start of this “writing about music”-thing by writing a bit about one of my all time favorite albums that I’ve recently gotten hooked on again. That album being Over the Under by Down. It’s slow, sludgy and it’s just about the most perfect southern groove you can find these days.

While I love my metal fast and hard, this slow and sludgy sound strikes something with me and I get into the groove every time I listen to it. Maybe it’s the summer heat? Over the Under is great listening for a slow and hot day when you don’t bother doing anything else.  The band is probably most famous for Phil Anselmo and it is a worthy follow up to the fucking epic that was Pantera. His vocals lends themselves perfectly to this sound, which is a fair bit slower than the usual Pantera sthick.

I’m trying to single out a tune from the album that is worth mentioning, but it’s a bit difficult as they’re all pretty damned good, but if I’m have to pick one to mention, and I do, I told myself that I had to… If I don’t do what I tell myself, I wake up with bruises and have to tell everyone that I “fell down the stairs”… Sometimes I can be a bit of a bastard. Oh! Song, yes! To pick out a tune that really stands above all the rest for me, I’ll have to go with “Never Try”. The song has influences from blues, mixed with the heavy and thick sludge that good southern metal should have.  At times the album in total reminds me of a more laidback Entombed with a better sense of groove.

So, to round off what I’ve been saying here; Slow, sludge and groovy. I guess that’s all that I’ve got to bring to the table this time around… But what the hell, at least I killed some time writing this sthick, so I win! Take that, Gadget! In your face!

Yes, yes, I’ll stop rambling now. But I just have to mention one last thing; That is one sweet piece of cover art! …and it was not the reason why I checked out the album at first, honest.

Current situation

So, in the end I had to get rid of my old site because, between the updates to both WordPress and Comicpress, it had turned into a shitpile of another world. And then there was the mystery of why my computer seemed to die every time I downloaded or uploaded files larger than 100 mb. Apparently it was due to the network I was hooked up to or my a hardware issue on my side. But I’m going to blame the network because it works bloody fine when I use other connections than that network. I don’t think it likes me. I downright thinks it hates me. It’s a horrible network from the depths of hell.

Anyhoo, I’ve gotten around to dragging my ass up to the University to leech internet there so that I can get the site up and running again and now it is. Ain’t I awesome? The only downside to it all is that I have more work ahead of me now as I have to reconfigure everything and get it looking somewhat pleasing, I should also do something about the comic itself, but I’m letting that sleeping dog lie for a while yet. The reason I’ve been stressing to get this shit up and running again is mainly because I’ve been feeling a need to write. And what with this mainly being a site where I can write shit, I felt it natural that I get my finger out of the donkey’s ass and actually fix it. Dammit, this is getting rather incoherent, I think I might have been sitting here for too long without anything to eat. Ah, the glorious life of the couch-nomad.

An update to ComicPress apparently did strange things to the site, so I have to redo the site and get all my settings back to normal, but unfortunately, that will have to wait, both ’til I get the time and the patience to do that. I’m currently moving around, so things will get fixed when they bloody well will be fixed. Happy panda is not very happy.

Good god, it took me a long freaking time to get this page done. That might or might not have something to do with only getting 4 hours of sleep and drinking way too much coffee, Burn and coke. Also, I hate plumbers. Plumbers being the reason why I only got 4 hours of sleep.

Let the summer times roll?

Haven’t been updating neither comic, photos nor blogg for a while and the reason for this has been, well, too much stuff to do otherwise. But now I’m finished with school for this rotation and can focus on other, more fun things, like finding a job and a new apartment. Joy! Happy joy! Also, there shall be beers, scantly clad women and sunshine. While I love winter, summer definitely has its perks. Wonderful, wonderful perks. I can’t make any promises, just see what happened the last time I came close to doing that, and I won’t, but hopefully there will be more frequent updates to the comic from now on as I shall have better time to focus on it.

So, that’s it for this time, stay tuned and check back, I promise you that there shall be at least one scantly clad donkey in the near future. Wait, did I just…?  Dammit!
