I have not been doing too many posts this week because I have been preparing for trial in a child custody matter set for Tuesday. Don't expect to see too much from me until Tuesday night or Wednesday. This itself is an abbreviated post. My fiancee has been very patient with me about this whole trial thing stressing me out. I appreciate that immensely and hope she realizes it.
This week, I won a contest on Metal Maniacs, which asked for a favorite Lituanian band. I perused the Metal Archives to find one since I had not heard of any and listened to Myspace samples. I picked Katedra, a traditional metal band with some progressive elements. For my prize, I got two black metal CDs from label Inferna Profundis. The CDs were by Argharus and Poccolus, both Lithuanian bands. I will post my initial impressions later as I just received the CDs in the mail today, but I'm pretty excited about this. I tried entering lots of contests with Metal Maniacs when the magazine existed.

Good luck with your case. Actually having a contested hearing on child custody has got to be extremely ugly, and I can only imagine the allegations thrown back and forth. My sympathies. The guys at my old firm told me before a felony sentencing hearing to remember it's not me who's going to prison. So, just remember, it ain't your kid.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that web site, so thanks for pointing it out. Their current contest is for a vinyl record. What the hell would I do with that? If it was a better group (I looked them up on Youtube--they're not anything special) then it would at least be cool to get it framed, so I won't enter that contest. The answer is Serbia, in case you cared.
Yeah I checked them out on Myspace as well. I actually bought a record player a couple of years ago and have been getting vinyl once in awhile. I have one that has a hookup so that you can download the music onto the computer as well so if the record gets ruined.
