Yeah, their music has a gyspy sort of feel, doesn't it? Listen to the clips. It's not for everyone, it's not pop music, and I guess for my tastes I'd like to hear more catchy melodies and so forth. But, it's unique.
Getting soft? Whatchoo talkin' bout, woman???
As for nobody reading your blog, you have to promote it. Otherwise, it's like printing out a "newsletter" and never showing it to anyone or distributing it. You have to show it to other people. The cool thing is, if you have interesting stuff, a lot of times these will catch on without a lot of effort. Me, I have to do this anyway. I have to have an outlet, and it'd either be with pen and paper (in my journal) or online. So it's catharthis and it's somewhat of a discipline to do this. Getting readers is secondary. But I do intend to work a little harder at it.
And oh, about Helloween. Alignment with nature = good. (Heck, earlier to day I was out in nature, walking and watching deer and what not, and thinking how nice it feels to be aligned with nature!) But borrowing from ancient Druid practices of communing with the dead, calling up demons, sacrificing humans -- what's the use in that?
I guess that, realistically, this is a pagan society, so it's normal to uphold a pagan celebration. Yet, we claim to be Judeo-Christian. If you recall, the God of the Bible instituted his own harvest festivals. They celebrate the bounty of the earth, yet always place the Creator first and foremost -- as opposed to the pagans who worship the creation and any number of lesser "deities."
So I look at the adoption of pagan customs as a case of ignoring the superior product you already possess and accepting a far inferior one instead. Sadly, that is what Churchianity has done for most of its history.
