#NoKings Round Rock, TX was easily 5x bigger than Hands Off last April. Not only way more people but, critically, *consistent* support from the cars passing through. Almost no haters. Was never in a position to get a shot that showed the crowd size, but I *did* document a pink frog sighting.

October 18th No Kings protest in Round Rock, TX. Many US flags, many signs of patriotic protest, and one person in a pink frog suit.

Hey, what do you listen to when you feel like work is sucking your soul out through your eyes? #metalsky

Cover of Suicidal Tendencies’ 1990 album “Lights, Camera… Revolution”. The band poses on top of a Vista theater with only “ST” lit on the neon sign and the album title listed on the marquee.

As a recovering #WorldOfWarcraft addict and full-time hater of the muskrat, this filled the cackles of my frozen DK heart with way too much bitter laughter.

Arthas’ sword, Frostmourne, displayed with a note that reads, “I bought this BEFORE Arthas purged Stratholme”. Nearby, a taped up community note reads “Readers added context: Arthas only found Frostmourne AFTER purging Stratholme.”

Today’s #metalsky shirt check: Cloud Rat! *sigh* I just love what the kids are doing these days… *wistfully stares off into the middle distance, listening to grindcore* (PS - If you’re into it and haven’t seen ‘em live yet, I highly recommend!)

Cloud Rat shirt, front: a mostly white-on-black print depicting swans facing one another, with heads bowed, red-orange globes on their backs - each containing a crying eye. Below them, a celestial serpent sidewinds, creating a shape that could be the toothy grin to match those eyes. At the bottom, in small caps, “ORDER IN THE WORLD NOW”.

Today’s #metalsky shirt check: DOOM SIDE OF THE MOON! 7 years ago, members of The Sword, Brownout, and other Austin, TX heroes performed Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon’ in its entirety in a doomy, psych-rock style (plus an encore w/ more Floyd covers). It's on Spotify, but I shant link it. 🧐

Doom Side of the Moon shirt featuring cartoonish art depicting a view from the cratered surface of the moon. The Earth hangs in the sky above a bull skull and ribcage in the foreground. There’s a cactus not far off to the left, and what looks like some kind of temple structures in the distance to the right.

For today’s #metalsky shirt check, since I (somehow?) don’t have a Candlemass shirt, I went with Pallbearer. ’Tis a doomy Tuesday.

Pallbearer shirt with a white-on-black print depicting a death-like robed and hooded piper playing, spreading a shroud-like fog down onto the Earth. Within the fog, across the upper edge of the planet, the stages of a human life - baby, child, adolescent, etc. through death - are walking in a procession, the eldest and front-most falling, creating a continent-sized storm on the surface.

In related news, I was already in a doomy mood - #metalsky shirt check, After Hours Edition®™: Subrosa! More Constant Than The Gods is one of my all-time favorite doom albums. The dual electric violins sound so good, and what a band they were to see live! RIP #SoLongAndThanksForAllTheRiffs

Subrosa shirt featuring the cover of the album More Constant Than The Gods. Depicts what appears to be a seated goddess, framed by the full moon and leaning against a pyramid, looking down in apparent boredom/apathy. A thin snake tattoo coils up her bicep and around toward her shoulder blade. Lightning shoots from a lazily pointed finger toward where she gazes. A small moth appears in a box - as of collected and pinned - in the upper right corner; the band's name appears in the upper left.

Today’s #metalsky shirt check. Royal Thunder may not be heavy, as I usually go, but I’d put the strength and conviction of Mlny Parsonz’ vocals up against any of the throat canons we listen to around here any day of the week.
