@DXMacGuffin alright, challenge accepted.

Sooo, what’s good music, what’s your poison?

Better try it with the music, rarely people get to see and understand my funny side.

@DXMacGuffin

Hahaha, that was easy. I didn’t even get to throw music your way yet to see what sticks.

@AqiDrago

I love progressive metal, and *most* progressive rock. Today I'm listening to Lonely Robot. I just discovered them this week, so I've got several albums to listen to.

@DXMacGuffin

So, I’m just a #CubMetalHead. I still mostly like my metal more melodic even if angry, like to understand the singing. Most of the time, I’m happy when I can sing along loudly even when it goes into more angry screaming.

@AqiDrago

I just noticed you joined yesterday! Welcome! Are you new to Mastodon? Or just new to Metalhead.club?

@DXMacGuffin

Hmm, it’s still my present day here 🙃

I’m newish to Mastodon. I’m part of the November Exodus wave even so I wasn’t even really active on the bird site. I followed George Takai to Universeodon instance.

I can’t believe you’ve missed me. I’ve been active in the Metal hashtags.

@AqiDrago

I presume you know "The Gods Made Heavy Metal" by Manowar?

@DXMacGuffin

Ja, of course. Manowar was my gateway to Metal. My fav album is Kings of Metal.

Heroic & hairy, that’s how I liked my Metal for the longest time.

Plus some Pirate Metal AKA Running Wild

@AqiDrago

Yesss!! Pirate metal is awesome! I have a whole playlist of pirate metal I listen to on September 19

@DXMacGuffin

Aehm why on September 19? Am I missing something here?

And @sariash just pointed Zed Yago out to me again. You probably know them.

@AqiDrago @sariash

September 19 is "Talk Like a Pirate" day

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day

I will check out Zed Yago, I don't think I have heard of them.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day - Wikipedia

@DXMacGuffin @AqiDrago They only have two albums from 1988 and 1989, most songs pirate themed heavy metal. I love them.
@DXMacGuffin @AqiDrago Oh wait, I'm talking nonsense. There are two other albums from 2005 and 2010. But with another singer, I don't listen to them :P

@DXMacGuffin @sariash

That’s awesome! We shall celebrate in style that day on Mastodon and attempt to only pirate speak toot!

And WIN, I love the sharing of music treasures.

@DXMacGuffin @sariash

Aye maytes, ye know which daye is comin’ up

@DXMacGuffin @sariash

Aye, aye… arrr gosh darnit’ scallywaggyness. I still needs a chantey list *rubs the nonexistent full red beard* I needs be gettin’ rightey onnit.

@DXMacGuffin

Phew, finally someone who also likes other stuff. Nah, I’m joking.

Checking out Lonely Robot. Mmmhh, mmh… yes, I like it. Thank you!

I got something for you. Start with the first album.

@AqiDrago

I'm just starting the "Visual Audio Sensory Theater" album....I think I'm gonna like this. Thanks for pointing it out.

@DXMacGuffin @AqiDrago I once thought about a ProgressiveFriday hash tag, decided to do SymphonicMonday instead. Still wish for some progressive hash tag :)

@sariash @DXMacGuffin

Yes, yes, yes!

But Friday is so overcrowded. Uh well ehm Saturday?

@AqiDrago @DXMacGuffin I'm not doing it. Just wanted to get the idea out for someone to pick it up... and yes, Friday is not the best idea with all that's going on there.

@sariash

I’m calling on @DXMacGuffin to host a #ProgMetal or sumthin’ hashtag

@AqiDrago @sariash

Is there anything on Wednesday? #ProgWednesday sounds great to me.

@DXMacGuffin @AqiDrago There is something on most days. Not sure about saturday, that might be empty. But weekends have much worse participation.

Wednesday has #MittwochMetalMix and #VgmWednesday. That's it I think.

@sariash @DXMacGuffin

*jumpsupanddownexcidetly* I have something for #VgmWednesday… if I can find it. It’s rather vague. I don’t even remember the game 🙈 just that I loved the soundtrack in the desert setting.

@AqiDrago @DXMacGuffin Good luck remembering it. Can't help you with "soundtrack in the desert", that's not that rare in games :)

@DXMacGuffin @sariash

@Kitty keeps a list of music hashtags.

Wednesdays we have a pretty open to all styles #MittwochMetalMix. It is not themed.

You could add a prog hashtag open to anything prog AND give it themes.
