"VHÖL tones down its earlier black-metal notions and goes straight for '80s speed, channeling the balls-to-the-wall, Rubik's Cube thrash of Voïvod, mainlining D-beat drums and throwing in a celestial choral bridge for good measure. If it all seems over the top, wait until you reach Cobbett's overdubbed dueling guitars — this is some of his most giddy and insane work to date." - Lars Gotrich
Ok, so in 2007 a group called Serebro was the Eurovision entry from Russia. Their song was titled "Song #1," and it wasn't that great.
Two years ago they released a song I just recently discovered. This song could have won Eurovision any year ever. I am sorry to subject you to it. It's on YouTube and Spotify.

The Eurovision Song Contest is heavily influenced by socio-political presentation by entrants. There is a meta that keeps changing to get points. Some songs are specifically statement songs to bring attention to subjects that have been ignored. Governments get heavily involved with song choice and presentation. Commercial songs are all about money.
Eurovision Song Contest = Olympic sport Regular songs = professional sports
Notice how it's 90% female dances that are banned? It's very rare that a male group gets banned, and it's usually for lyrics and not the sexy dance. As awfully sexist as the USA is, almost every other country is worse. I'm not excusing the USA. I'm pointing out how humongous the problem is. It's really really bad in the US. The fact that other places are actually worse is horrendous.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, this is actually real censorship! KBS is a government-owned TV network. Also, they don't have freedom of speech in Korea, so all networks are affected.
It seems like the tax situation there is people aren't just making huts. They are making actual second houses with kitchens and bathrooms and such. That greatly increases the value of your property, so the assessor will raise your property tax. I just want a nice hut for some gaming and nerding. Some tables and chairs, mini-fridge, you know.
You can make a garage that is just as nice as those huts. Maybe start with a shed kit. I've seen some crazy modifications that used a cheap shed kit as the base.

I didn't know until recently that I could listen with my eyes

I guess he sort of has one already with the 3 season room.
When Da Wife and I get to buying a house, there's a solid chance it'll have a barn on it. And if it doesn't have one, I'ma put one there.
