Eigengrau →
bestofwikipedia:
Eigengrau (German: “intrinsic gray”), also called Eigenlicht (“intrinsic light”), dark light, or brain gray, is the color seen by the eye in perfect darkness. Even in the absence of light, some action potentials are still sent along the optic nerve, causing the sensation of a uniform dark gray color. (via sleevia)
Awesome name for a band.

transientmetal:
February’s list is done, and it’s much bigger than January. There’s also a
grooveshark version which isn’t quite complete but might be easier
to access if you’re not a spotify user.
My list of good tracks from new metal albums in February is up.

transientmetal:
Same deal as the 2010 best of, here’s one good track from each rock and metal album that had one in January. Slim pickings compared to February for some reason, the stand out winner is Mr. Big’s reunion album
I’ve finally gotten round to pushing out my summary of January’s new music. I’ll try and add a few more videos to the tumblr, and get February published...
