Heilbroner)&#8211;and who wants to see a photograph of just four books?<\/p>\n<p>Instead, I bought a bunch of things for craft work to add to the backlog of other craft things accumulating since I&#8217;ve moved away from doing anything at my workbench but have yet to alter my acquisition of things to do at my workbench.  I also bought a stack of videocassettes to join the hundreds of other films that I&#8217;ve not watched since buying them at garage sales and book fairs.<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s neither here nor there.  I did make one purchase that sounds like it could be the plot of a cheap slasher film.<\/p>\n<p>I picked up this CD because its title and text were complete in German:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/kveldssanger1.jpg\" width=\"425\" alt=\"Kveldssanger album cover\"><\/p>\n<p>I expected either heavy metal or some heavy gospel of some sort (given I bought it at a <em>church<\/em> garage sale.<\/p>\n<p>When I got home, I cracked it open, and I saw:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/kveldssanger2.jpg\" width=\"425\" alt=\"Kveldssanger CD book interior\"><\/p>\n<p>Well, then I <em>hoped<\/em> it was not gospel <em>of a dark and disturbing sort<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Given the font on the cover, I was just going to trust iTunes&#8217;s music database to fill that all in, so I popped it in to import, and <em>iTunes could not find it on the Internet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You see how this could be the beginning of a cheap horror franchise of which I would be only a small part?  A Daemonic CD from a <em>twisted<\/em> Catholic church that unleashes unearthly forces when played or on the Internet when imported into iTunes?  <\/p>\n<p>So I looked more closely and did an Internet search, and the album is <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00005Y8C7\/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00005Y8C7&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=stlbrianj-20\" target=\"_blank\">Kveldssanger<\/a><\/em> by Ulver, a Norwegian black metal band who changed it up with this, their second album.  It sounds folky and, instead of metal screaming vocals, some neo-chanting.<\/p>\n<p>Which really doesn&#8217;t detract from the whole <em>strange dark CD invokes dark forces<\/em> motif.<\/p>\n<p>Note that I bought this CD on the week where I posted <a href=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/06\/a-new-hobby-for-gimlet\/\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a>.  Life has a way of connecting dots for us.  Well, all right, our minds do, or at least mine tends to move in strange directions that seem to be patternic.<\/p>\n<p>And, if you&#8217;re wondering, it&#8217;s the first of the two CDs I bought this weekend.
