“Weather forecaster?”
“They would stand in front of great maps, wave their arms in mysterious ways and conjure up misery and delight in equal measure.”
“They were sorcerers.”
“Or big fibbers. Nobody ever really worked it out.”
The Doctor and Leela break up an unusual hunting expedition. Did you know there were Zygons involved?
“No. We did not know that.”
“But it all sounds very impressive. Bravo.” (breaks into brief round of solo applause)

Blakes takes a bit of an odd detour, giving center stage to a character who appeared in a single episode of the teleseries.

Damn, it’s cold for mid-August.
With temps running as low as the mid 60’s for several summers in a row and hurricanes starting a month or more earlier than usual, holidays with nary a hint of snow for the better part of a decade or so and blazing summer heat arriving as early as mid-April, you really get the sense that it’s time to rework the calendar for the first time since, oh, 1582.
Seriously. To line up with reality and historical expectations, we should change it so that Winter and the associated holidays start in January or February and Summer kicks off in April or May and ends in July to match up with season-appropriate, yearly recurring weather patterns. Noooo, there’s no such thing as global warming…
So apropos of the apparent untimely shift in seasons, we’re kicking off our End of Summer reviews a bit earlier than usual, filled with a rather un-Summerlike wave of black and death metal coldness (with a touch of gothic symphonic, power and traditional AOR and glam to round things out nicely).
So zip up your Hallowe’en appropriate parkas and hoodies, and let’s dive in, shall we?

It’s yet another unusual August where the expected oppressive heat and humidity are nowhere to be found, in favor of a cool, September style briskness.
Similarly, Vinegar Syndrome delivers a rather mixed bag of pristine prints of quite variable in value offerings from the height of hardcore’s moment in the mainstream – cool where they should be hot, more curious than carnal. Three are actually pretty decent views…the other three, utter wastes of celluloid. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Well, here we are again, and while the sheer number of upcoming releases dropping into my virtual mail slot has certainly increased dramatically over last month’s tumbleweed-infested ghost town dearth thereof, a good number of them are slated to street in September…which means another month of arid temperatures and balmy breezes for the rest of us.
So sit back, pour yourself a lemon shandy and listen to those far off strains of harmonica…or is that the wind whistling through the trees? as we take on yet another rather slight batch of recent releases…
