Nikon deals
I’m not sure how long these deals will last, but the Nikon D750 and Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G lens (my favorite combination in most settings and the combo that has taken most of the photos on this site for the past few years) is now available for the first time for under $2,000 here. I paid over $3,000 for this package, and the last time I mentioned a price cut for this duo it was to over $2,200. Under $2,000 is an incredible deal.
I’m getting old, have a bad back, and my wrists frequently hurt so I’m thinking about a Z50 for certain situations. With two lenses that camera can be had for under $1,200. Should I go for it?

Metal Monday

Today’s photo features one of the many bands I would have never discovered had they not happened to be playing at a festival I was going to. When unknown-to-me bands get announced at a festival I’m going to I typically add a few of their songs to my phone. If I don’t like those songs I delete them and skip the band at the festival. That was not the case with Entropia. Just the opposite happened. Each time one of their songs came on I was like, “Who is this?!?!” Amazing stuff. For fans of Pelican, Russian Circles, or heavy psychedelic music. Highly recommended with quality, noise-canceling headphones on after your favorite intoxicant has kicked in.
Sadly, at 2019 Brutal Assault, they were on at the same time as Zuriaake and Heilung so I was unable to see the full set of any of those three bands.
Happy birthday, Dave “Old School” Matrise!

Throwback Thursday
Almost three years ago, today’s photo happened.
Violator @ 2019 Brutal Assault

The quantity and quality of thrash metal bands at the 2019 Brutal Assault Festival was amazing. Off the top of my head, so I’m probably forgetting several bands, there was Violator, Anthrax, Jungle Rot, Carcass (not exactly thrash but…), Sacred Reich, Testament, Hellhammer, Demolition Hammer, Destruction, Tankard, Exumer, Metal Church, Voivod, and Sodom.
Violator appeared to have been on speed or cocaine or something as they hit the stage almost 10 minutes early (which I’ve never seen a band do at a festival before), played (ran around and talked) like maniacs, and then went overtime (something you rarely see at festivals).
I once owned an original Sepultura “Beneath the Remains” tour t-shirt from one of their first shows ever in the USA. I wish I had taken better care of it as that would be nice to have 30+ years later.
