Heavy Metal Sunday lowers the flags and celebrates a return.

[gridlore]

The Metal World was shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Type O Negative frontman/bassist Peter Steele on April 14th. Early word is heart failure. Peter Steele was only 48 and left a legacy of great music and an inspired sense of humor. There is currently no word on whether the band will break up or seek to replace Peter.

So let's celebrate the life, work, and sick sense of humor of Peter Steele with My Girlfriend's Girlfriend off Type O Negative's 1996 release, October Rust. This one isn't embedable, but well worth a look.

Now the return. I've been a fan of Dr. Who since our local PBS station began broadcasting the Tom Baker episodes way back in 1978. The first convention I attended on my own was a Dr. Who con, I met kshandra at a Dr. Who fan club meeting, and while in the Army I was notorious for always having one of the novelizations on me at all times. To be blunt, i really like Dr. Who. Yesterday, after the Giants game, I tuned into the BBC and caught The End of Time. Great Master episode, and the idea that he was manipulated to be an evil entity by the High Council is chilling. The Master apparently meets his doom at the end of the story, but we've seen that before, so here's to The Master, with Vengeance by Yngwie Malmsteen.

I found it interesting that the president of the Time Lords in the "end of time" was Rassilon.

espeically since Rassilon was supposed to have been the Galifrian who created the technology that allowed the Galifrains to become Time Lords.
