More Miscellaneous Facts

I mentioned a while back that I have been online for quite a while.  Well, I have been, and I wrote my first full-length piece for The Game Board back in June of 2003.  I added it all up and, including this post, I have written 1,069 posts and articles.  I have only written 291 posts for Swamp Gas, but I wrote 670 blog posts and 108 longer articles for The Game Board and Alien’s Planet.  The blog only started with Alien’s Planet back in March of 2004.  I didn’t post everyday as you can probably tell.  I was wondering how much I’ve published online, and there is my answer.

Of course, that’s only part of the story, comments are another thing.  I didn’t add commenting on Alien’s Planet until about a year after I started, so those numbers are alittle less impressive.  So far, the Swamp has 1,321 comments (as of 11am), Alien’s Planet had  2,315 blog comments and only 86 article comments.  The to-date count stands at 3,722 comments.  So that’s the rest of the story.  It will also be the last bragging post I do for a little while.    Thanks for your support.

My Musical Memories, #3

This week’s musical memory comes courtesy of my brother, Evil-E.  He introduced me to this album on the way to the Duct Tape Festival in Avon Lake, OH.  It’s not the usual first album or classic album that was very popular on the radio.  It is, however, an excellent album to say the least.

Type-O Negative
Bloody Kisses
1993

I do remember hearing “Christian Woman” off this album many years ago, but I never gave it much thought.  Then I heard it again, thanks to Evil-E, and I heard even more of this album including “Black #1,” “Bloody Kisses” and a remake that completely sold me on the album.  Even though I was never a fan of Seals & Crofts, I always liked the lyrics to their best-known song, “Summer Breeze.”  Type O Negative remade this song for the album.  Bloody Kisses is a very dark, heavy album with some excellent songs on it.  I highly recommend it if you like the Gothic metal sound.  If not, listen to it online, first and see how you like it.

Next week, I will share with you the album I was introduced to on the way home from the Duct Tape Festival.  No, it sounds nothing like this one, but it is a lot of fun.
