Still sick. Still whiny.

I thought I was feeling a bit better when I finally crawled out of bed today. But then I did stuff (like, oh, make myself some toast and tea), and now I feel exhausted and achy. Not to mention my throat feels like I've been swallowing shards of glass, how fun. And looking at my bug count for work makes me want to cry.

So, yeah. Not the amazing overnight recovery I was hoping for.

A musical question concerning bombast.

(Still sickly. About to go take NyQuil and crash for the night.)

So! Thanks to Rue Morgue Magazine's 100th issue interview with Sir Christopher Lee ::swoon::, I have learned about his new musical project.

Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross. (clicky-link!)

It's labeled as "symphonic metal". Rue Morgue says "Charlemagne is really closer to grandiose classical with occasional passages punctuated by chugging metal guitar", and "Lee mostly chant-sings over the top of sweeping orchestral flourishes".

I ... I think I have to own this. Bombastic symphonic metal AND Sir Christopher Lee? I'm kind of agog. This will either be the most amazing thing ever, or I will finally have something to inflict upon junya and keonei in revenge for that heavy metal Christmas album they made me listen to. Either way, I win!
