#finishedreading "Monk's Hood", the third book in the Chronicle of Brother Cadfael series.
To be honest, I already forgot much of what happened in the two previous books, but I think this one will turn out to be more memorable.
The murder case was quiete simple, like everything depends on this one detail to prove the boy's innocence (just trust old Cadfael). I did enjoy the payoff, with a sense of ambiguity and inadvertent self-denunciation.
Miss Marple is not one to readily accept help or affection she didn't ask for (or most explicitly demand). But these dog days she has nothing but love for the attempts to keep her fresh.
#CurrentlyListening to Agriculture's "The Spiritual Sound" from last year. I've only recently listened to it for the first time and immediately fell in love.
At times it's very erratic (like in the opening moments), in other moments it's beautiful. Yet, it all feels natural and decidedely their own sound.
#CurrentlyListening to the new Dark Millennium album, "Come". My first encounter with the band. Obviously very reminiscent of bands like Sentenced or Insomnium, but somewhat more complex (or "progressive") than the more popular works of gothic-y death metal.
Reminds me a lot of another German band, Disillusion. It will probably take a couple of listens to fully comprehend, but I'm already liking this.
There is a cool festival for ambient / drone / experiential music in Cologne this weekend. Information on the internet is sparse, but I saw the poster at a local record store this morning.
Tonight's line-up:

From "Halloween, the slasher about Michael Myers" to "another horror film about Halloween". Great fun, though. It's really the kind of movie I could watch every couple of years.
Now I have that commercial burned into my brain.
