I like my heavy metal - I think there may be a niche “metal” Bitcoiners such as @Ben Arc and Igor from BlueWallet - any others (need to try and find Igor’s track on Tidal)? But equally at home at a classical concert or an electronic rave :-) Just not that keen on the stuff in the middle.

My wife and I are getting half a cow today from a local rancher, can’t wait to have high quality meat all the time!

Switched from Spotify to Tidal. Mainly because I wasn’t finding much new stuff. That, and my account had been used by my daughter and Spotify kept feeding me Taylor Swift :-)
