Literally have no idea what I’m doing in GeoCrush but I feel like this is a pretty damn good score? Also feel like it’s impossible to remove 85 of anything, but we’ll get there!

Probably time for me to start another streak (I was MIA and lost my 150+ day streak!) and count down my top albums of the year. This was a reeeally good year for prog/power metal and I probably have 30 albums that are fighting for a top 10 spot, so I’m going to have to figure it out and narrow it down. New streak starts tomorrow!

I think this album is just as good BUT it’s also like 75 minutes long and pretty front loaded. I guess there’s a story to it but I don’t understand half the lyrics so I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m a sucker for long concept albums though, so I feel like this’ll continue to get better

Late-entry contender for album of the year. Right now I have it behind Azure - Fym. There was a lot of solid new music this year; going to make figuring out a top 10 pretty difficult! https://youtu.be/yVTDjdHuivg?si=_mgb6J0pwR8MWtv7

Been raining here all week and going to continue to rain for another ~5 days. For some reason this song always gets stuck in my head when it rains. And it's still one of their best tracks, IMO: Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust https://youtu.be/MKk1u5RMTn4?feature=shared

I've been sauna-ing every other day for the last month or so now and every single time I'm in there I'm singing Kiuas' 'Across The Snows' to myself as I stare at the lil sauna stove/kiuas: 🎵🎵 Yksinään hän vaeltaa mis varjot lankeaa Halki usvan ja roudan vain teräs seuranaan Sydämensä kylmä on kuin maa routainen Mutta silmissään viha polttava kuin kiuas tulinen 🎵🎵 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6ocJWHs6qs

I’m so far behind on albums from this year. Literally just listened to this album for the first time this morning. I think this is probably the standout track on the album

Worked like 62ish hours this week with two new clients (Provable and Plume - we’re hiring a ton, so this is a /jobs crosspost!) so I wasn’t able to get to the gym at all (I hadn’t missed a day in months before this week). But it meant I got the pool all to myself around 7:00 PM on Friday night. Getting a little cold here, but swimming under the moon and stars made it all worth it

This is my favorite (and best) Nightwish album and I’ll die on that hill

This worked fairly well last time I posted on here (met arguably the best DevRel I've ever spoken to :-) so let's try this again: Currently hiring for a bunch of roles, mostly engineering (specifically Rust), but also a BD/sales position at an RWA company focused on institutional sales with neobanks. I know most of y'all are in Thailand or on your way there, but if you're interested in exploring new opportunities now/when you get back, DM me and I'll run things by you. US-based only though, can't sponsor Visas at the moment. SF and NYC or ability to relocate highly preferred.

One of these days I’ll get myself to Paris (or some conference somewhere in the world) and we can properly celebrate

I guess Savatage is back? I'd also predict there's a very, very good chance they end up being one of the ProgPower headliners for the last festival in 2026 based on this news.

Welp, that was short lived. Hammerfall already dropped out.

I think I’ve said this before (or maybe on Reddit? I don’t remember) but this is literally the only Megadeth song I’ve ever liked. I don’t know why - it’s not like it’s so much different than anything else they’ve done - but this hits the spot for me

ProgPower 2025 Day 1 announcement video: https://vimeo.com/1021838560/f28703a949 tl;dw: * Aries Descendant * Secret Sphere * Eclipse * Green Carnation * Hammerfall Solid lineup! I'll be skipping Day 1 (have seen all these bands, less Aries Descendant, multiple times) because four days of this festival is too much time to take off, but this may be the best four-day lineup they've ever had.
