phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 3hEye test done - always get stressed out, but eye health ok. Persription changed a little bit, so rereshing all frames. Need to get back into reading for pleasure rather than vegetating online. He says on Bluesky, but you know what I mean. 100

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 24/09/2026I've somehow managed to get Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover" stuck in my brain. This just will not do. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 23/09/2026Saw these chaps live last Friday. Recording doesn't do justice to how oppressive this sounds in the flesh. bilecaster.bandcamp.com/track/abscessbilecaster.bandcamp.comAbscess, by Bile Casterfrom the album Writhing Between Birth and Death 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 19/09/2026Cheeky little sludge / doom gig tonight. Tomb Slab, Bile Caster, Endure and Confusion Master, for those interested. 001
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 11/09/2026This was, is and shall forever be absolutely glorious. Just tears the original to bits and utterly transforms it. youtu.be/PKcqXnACLU0youtu.beDont Bring Me DownYouTube video by buzzov-en - Topic 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 05/09/2026Blimey, two gargantuan crashes in GT racing this weekend. One at Laguna Seca in Indycar support race, another in China GT that saw a driver pulled from his burning car by a competitor, who is credited with probably saving his life. Echoes of the infamous Tetsuya Ota Fuji crash. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 03/09/2026In amongst the endless firehose of porn that is the internet, do you know what I actually enjoy? Pictures of folks just looking completely at one with their chosen expression. Seeing someone in pup gear just looking completely relaxed and at home with themselves is just life affirming. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 02/09/2026Now listen here Microsoft, we have a tense relationship at the best of times, but if you're going to throw me "Excel has encountered an error" messages on working day 2 of month end closure, there will be violence... 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 29/08/2026Feel like I'm getting closer to going out to friends or in public in a skirt and leggings rather than just wearing at alt / kink events. Still likely a known space (coffee shop, board game cafe, quiz night at local alt-culture pub etc.), but still. 020
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 29/08/2026No idea where it's come from, but I'm amusing myself with the thought of the Local Council of Nicea. Less concerned with the divinity of Christ and much more occupied with bin day and parking permits. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 25/08/2026Hope we hear from these chaps again, as everything they do is absolutely magnificent. youtu.be/bBrA52shh4wyoutu.beSlugdge - Lettuce PreyYouTube video by W.Z.K.- Doom-Grinding, Hate Worship and Opium Rituals (Cody C. Young) 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 19/08/2026I love it when an auditor tells me the information I've provided is wrong, when it clearly isn't and a tiny bit of probing them reveals they've fundamentally misunderstood what they're looking at. We're paying these people for this service... 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 13/08/2026No idea if we're ever getting any more Slugdge, but blimey this record is still absolutely mighty. slugdge.bandcamp.com/track/putrid...slugdge.bandcamp.comPutrid Fairytale, by Slugdgefrom the album Esoteric Malacology 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 12/08/2026Setting aside wider political debate about HS2, this is a very nice touch. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 12/08/2026Hadn't really bought into eclipse fever, as remember 1999 and a few other partials since. Plus I've been mired in work audit requests, which have drained the joy out of me. Then the light outside went odd, I got excited again and husband and I went up to the loft den to play pinhole camera. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 09/08/2026New shirtage, including one that's white. Gasp! 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 06/08/2026I generally like helping work colleagues with genuine problems, but too many take "been here a long time and know lots of things" to mean "is my personal helpdesk for things I should know as part of my own role". Tiring. Already way beyond weekly hours, and still month end stuff to do tomorrow. 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 01/08/2026Nice little day trip to London yesterday to see MC Escher exhibition at Somerset House. Also to check out coach route, as trains on strike. Hit some traffic delays on the M1, but viable alternative to train when needed, not hugely different time-wise and considerably cheaper, especially AM peak. 100

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 18/07/2026Cracking on for 40 years ago(!) and still some of the finest extreme music ever recorded. They're so utterly ferocious in these sessions in a way that none of their other recordings ever quite captured. youtu.be/qHobTH5rQ3oyoutu.beNapalm Death - The Peel Sessions [Full Album]YouTube video by United Kingdom Extreme Metal 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 12/07/2026Playing with Radio Garden and found the rather delicious Radio Bob! Death Metal stream. Tis good stuff! www.radiobob.de/bobs-death-m...radiobob.deDeath Metal-Stream | RADIO BOB!Für die ganz hartgesottenen unter Euch.

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 12/07/2026An anti-perspirant that keeps your pits in a super position of both sweaty and not sweaty until you actually check? Tested on cats? What the ever living fuck are you on about Unilever? 000

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 04/07/2026Nice jaunt to the National TV and Sci-FI museum in MK today. Lots of Star Wars / Trek / Gate stuff if that's your thing, but also Dr Who, X Files, Muppets, some cool Red Dwarf bits and even a Zelda cube from Terrahawks. Oh, and Vincent and Old Bob models from The Black Hole! 010

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 01/07/2026And this is why I no longer listen to much "Corpse paint and Satan" Black Metal. There are just bands out there taking the style in so many more interesting directions. fluisteraars.bandcamp.com/track/brand-...fluisteraars.bandcamp.comBrand woedt in mijn graf, by FLUISTERAARSfrom the album Gegrepen Door de Geest der Zielsontluiking 100

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 22/06/2026May actually have found a genuine organic use for Copilot at work, not just the sub-Clippy "use me to write emails you're too lazy to do yourself" guff. Combines Research agent and Notebook functionality to help collate disparate info sources and roll up into an updated draft process document. 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 20/06/2026The joys of being introverted and reasonably kinky...brain creates scenes and scenarios it doesn't actually have the self or social confidence to pursue or initiate. I guess it's a form of denial, which is also sort of kinky. Gah! 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 14/06/2026Enjoying this tonight. Nice mix of atmosphere and heft that bring Woods of Ypres to mind.

phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 05/06/2026Dear corporate software overlords - stop asking for fucking feedback all the time, it's exhausting. My Teams calls, my digital signature tool, our in house training tool, assorted support portals, even fucking Outlook. When did everything become so damn needy?! 000
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 31/05/2026Supposed to be a pic of catface curled up cutely on the stairs, but had auto-flash on, so instead...DEMON CAT! 010
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 29/05/2026Last few weeks at work have been very much about controls, memos and procedures. All in Word. Part of the job, but a bit "box ticky" and don't enjoy it. Today however has been full on reconciliation of a multi-tentacled thing, therefore Excel. Very much my happy place and a nice way to end the week. 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 28/05/2026Some pleasing grabs for quick video I took of lightning storm over Milton Keynes Tuesday night. Made up for the four hour clusterfuck of a commute! 010
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 24/05/2026For all its garish hyper-Americanisms (Black Hawk helicopters leading the parade lap? Just fuck right off), blimey the Indy 500 is still compelling viewing. Race decided in a one lap shootout after a late caution and by a pass at the line with 0.018 sec margin of victory after three hours of racing. 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 23/05/2026Enjoying the new Anthrax a lot. Of all the bands from that era, they seem to be the only ones actually still enjoying themselves. Obvious "Madhouse" homage, but also has a real "Among the Living" crunch to it that raises an instant grin. youtu.be/Pj5u8OagODoyoutu.beAnthrax - It's For the KidsYouTube video by AnthraxVEVO 001
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 22/05/2026I know lazy comparisons are trite and all that, but fuck me sideways this sounds like a lost Cathedral record. Vocals are insanely Dorrian-adjacent. hibernaut.bandcamp.com/track/projec...hibernaut.bandcamp.comProjection, by Hibernautfrom the album Ingress 100
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 22/05/2026Got a bunch of work stuff I need to do, but just can't be fucking bothered with any of it. Considering just shirking from home for rest of afternoon, then catching up on things piecemeal over the weekend, given it's likely to be too warm for me to do anything outside anyway. 110
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 20/05/2026As much as I can help work colleagues with things due to my time in the company, I'm having one of those days where "help" just feels like "do it for them", so I'm now politely telling them to piss off and understand their job. Tired of babysitting. 110
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 09/05/2026Really nice solo Black Metal with a great mix of rawness and atmosphere. ascalaphabm.bandcamp.com/album/shadow...ascalaphabm.bandcamp.comShadow Under A Raven's Wing, by ASCALAPHA4 track album 111
phildebeest @phildebeest.eurosky.social · 09/05/2026Is it wrong that I went to the office today knowing full well there were train problems so as to claim Delay Repay compensation, which then forms my monthly Bandcamp purchase budget? Little victories! 000
