Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

Welcome back to the Manor and pour yourself some more mead, as we finish our discussion on Beowulf as we get into a few of the adaptations.  Become some geekzerkers with us (a kinning of geek and berserker)!

Next week's episode is about pub poetry.

Welcome back to the Manor!  As you can tell, our "next time" from last week's episode has changed.  We almost missed the 40th anniversary of Heavy Metal, that most awesome of animated films!  It was released this month (just a few days ago in fact) in 1981.  There will be two parts, with the second part being the movie soundtrack.  Here, though, we discuss the movie itself!  The actual scenes and from where it was conceived.  There are some really wicked awesome evil things we gloss over, as even though it's 40 years old, Jody didn't want to give spoilers and James was okay with that.  

So enjoy some heavy metal evilness!

Next week's episode is more on Beowulf and its adaptations.

Welcome to another Zepisode!  Get it? Snicker snicker.

We finally finish our delve into Zeppelin's magical fourth album (call it what you will - we covered that a Zepisode or two ago) during its 50th anniversary year.  This time we go over touring, throw in some cool general quotes from the band about this time, and a bit of miscellaneous items that didn't fit elsewhere!  

Next week's episode is part 2 on Tommy Bolin!  Probably.  That's what's scheduled for now anyway.  If it's something else, you'll know that one of us didn't finish editing it.

Welcome to another Terrors mead episode.  If you're curious as to what a bochet mead is, you've come to the right place.  Although really, you should've come here anyway.   You should know that by now.

Pour yourself a mazer and enjoy!  We thought this would be a good episode, as it's the halfway point between our two Beowulf episodes.

Next week's episode is about (stay tuned).

Welcome back to the Manor!  The Terrors debate a couple of solid albums from the late '70s to decide which should be considered the first metal album.  Yes, we did decide on a winner (at least for now, in this first match-up).  It went pretty much four falls to three, after including several aspects including influence.  If you want to see which albums and which won, listen on!

Next week's episode is... finally another mead episode!

Another live episode!  Well, live in that we recorded it together at the same actual physical location.  Not live as in "we're airing this live!"  But anyway!  Enjoy this unedited, because it was too long to care and this was the plan anyway, episode with beer tasting, Hobbit trivia, convincing each other of shows/music the other should try because we know they haven't, and all around Life, the Universe, and Everything!

Next week's episode is our debate on which should be considered the first heavy metal album.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Today's topic truly is one that deserves a mazer or horn of mead.  We've both read a few different translations of Beowulf (Tolkien and Heaney for James super recently and Jody in the semi-not-distant past and Headley for Jody in the here-and-now) and wanted to be nerds about the variations and also just geekzerker (a kinning of geek and berserker) out on the saga itself.

We do have a part 2 coming up about adaptations, as well, so don't think we've forgot about that!  

Next week's episode is a live episode!  Well, it was to us.  We finally managed to sit down and have some beers and talk about... well, you'll see next week, but trust us, it's a grand time, indeed!

Welcome to another Zepisode!  I can't believe it took James this long to come up with that pun.  We continue with our delve into Zeppelin's magical fourth album (call it what you will - we covered that a Zepisode or two ago) during its 50th anniversary year.  This time we cover the songs on the B side.  An excellent set of four, indeed!  

Next week's episode is on Beowulf!

Welcome back to the Manor!  Okay... so something happened and the episodes got out of whack.  Anyway, screw it, we recorded it, and it's not as though you can't still take a long summer hike!  The more important one that we'll make sure goes up at the right time is the Midwinter walk. 

So grab a pint and your hiking shoes and enjoy!

Next week's episode is the continuation of our Led Zep IV era episodes.
