Twin Terrors Macabre Manor of Mead Metal and Mayhem

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.

Welcome back to the Manor!  Have you ever wanted to own your own pub?  We definitely do.  Here's what each of us would want for our own pubs.    So yes, another "drinking culture" episode, with what beers, wines, spirits, music, and atmosphere we'd have, as well as what we'd keep out.  Come join us at the Dragon's Rafters or the Manor House or whatever they would be called!

Next week's episode is the Led Zeppelin IV album era part 2.
