Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs: “Lady Evil” — Black Sabbath (1980)

There’s a place just south of Witches’ Valley Where they say the wind won’t blow And they only speak in whispers of her name There’s a lady they say who feeds the darkness It eats right from her hand With a crying shout she’ll search you out And freeze you where you stand… Holy freakin’…

Nebel zieht in dichten Schwaden übers Moor von Forrest Hill, grün-gespenstig grinst ein Irrlicht, es ist Nacht in Baskerville.

I hide myself inside the shadows of shame The silent symphonies were playing their game My body echoed to the dreams of my soul This God is something that I could not control… Told you I’d be back with some Sabbath 🙂 Black Sabbath’s 1976 album Sabotage is probably their greatest album with the WORST…

Race Review: 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon (2/23/2014), or: “There’s a lady they say who feeds the darkness…”

On Sunday, the 23rd of February in the Year 2014 of the Common Era, I “ran” the 2014 Disney Princess Half Marathon in a black-and-purple sparkly tutu and a bright pinkish feathered boa for charity and raised a buttload of money as a result. THE END. No but seriously guys, I struggled with that opening…

Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs: “Black Sabbath” — Black Sabbath (1970)

The very flames in which the darkened blade of heavy metal was forged… The first track from their first album… The song Black Sabbath from the album Black Sabbath by the band Black Sabbath… Yeah I think that sets up our penultimate Buttkickin’ Halloween Song song pretty well, but you have to admit that it’s one of the…
