Talk about what? (did I miss something?)

 

A soft song my wife and I both like.

 

A song my wife likes as well (but only when Adam Lambert sings it). Great video... I'd never seen it before.

Another soft song I like...

 

I've been looking into Byzantines a little more recently, and saw this one from an uncleared lot I had but left aside unattributed. It was actually rather easy to attribute once I took the time (although I'm a little unsure of the obverse letters and have relied on Wildwinds).


Byzantine Empire
Leo VI, r. 886-912
AE Follis, 25.92 mm x 6.1 grams
Obv.: LEON bASILEVS ROM. Crowned bust facing with short beard, wearing chlamys, holding akakia
Rev.: LEON/ EN QEO BA/ SILEVS R/ OMEON. legend in four lines

As for song, I was rocking out to some Savatage and Dio today, but my mind keeps pulling me back to Tchaikovsky...

 

RAGNAROK => my CD arrived today (Dropkick Murphys) ... total winner!! (thanks)

=> my new favourite Christmas Carol ...

 

Most nights you can probably find me upstairs in my library working on coins or reading ancient history. As often as not Def Leppard or some other 80s metal is on in the background and right now High 'n' Dry is getting as much play time as anything.

 

Wow, I just noticed that Bing and the outcasts are mere days away from our 4th year CoinTalk Anniversary!! (best thing that ever happened to us, eh?)

... here is a slightly disturbing vid of my childhood hero, Alice (sure, maybe he's seen better days, but this was dead-center of my teen years!! ... messed-up Alice, but amazingly awesome tunes!!)

 

I also go ape for this one:

 

Sorry, I may have posted this a year or two ago? ... but this is such a classsic song!!



Fine (I'm gettin' hammered) ... I'm outta here!!

 

Alice is still my hero... whenever I hear or read his interviews, I can't imagine a more sane and well-adjusted individual .

I think I joined some months or perhaps up to a year after your big move, but Happy CoinTalk Anniversary, you lot. You guys are a real motley crew, but this place wouldn't be the same without you .

 

... ooops, now I'm really drunk




... this was my avatar at CCF (pretty cool ... I still have the cool bar tray)

 

that's awesome!!

One of my all-time prime-songs ...

=> full points for making me smile!!

... for the right to potty!!

 

Great colours on that one!

 

Wish I still had it!
