sheavy - blue sky mind

I can't... believe... I haven't posted this song yet. Two years, two and a half years!, and still nothing. And after listening to it eight million times, or 84 times since mid-2005 according to last.fm... 5 hours of my life, gone.

Sheavy
"Blue Sky Mind"

Naturally, of the Blue Sky Mind album that came out in 1996.

It's too bad I didn't have a last.fm (or audioscrobbler as it was at the time) eight months earlier than I did, because then I might have a record of actually hearing this for the first time and be able to say something definitive like it was one of my first listened favorites, but I forget now what order these songs went in after "Electric Sleep".

Yeah, it sounds like Black Sabbath. What are you going to do? Everything around here does. Odd, considering I tended to avoid Sabbathisms even when I was exposed to them growing up. Sunday is a shitty day, and even now after all of this I'm still cracking up at "serious" metal.

That "then you know they'll tell you a story" line at 1:20 pleases the Gemini in me. No, the other one.

Oh, and in case you haven't heard, there's a new Sheavy album out this year. Possibly even two of them...
