One Chef Reveals: “The Family Recipe I Never Appreciated Until I Grew Up”

Growing up in an Italian-American household in New Jersey, there was no question where you’d find Dina Deleasa-Gonsar on a Sunday evening. She’s seated at mom Angela’s table, with …

"I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is a song written by #JimSteinman and performed by American rock singer #MeatLoaf with additional vocals by #LorraineCrosby. The song was released in August 1993 as the first single from the singer's sixth album, #BatOutOfHellIIBackIntoHell (1993). The last six verses feature Crosby, who was credited only as "Mrs. Loud" in the album notes. She does not appear in the accompanying music video, directed by #MichaelBay.

So, #MirrorsAndReflections, eh?

I tend to toot live versions, but this one is, well. I like the album version better here, it's a cleaner performance than the live thing from 2007. And we don't talk about the music video, which has been "shortened" 🙄
Anyway, this is one of those songs I absolutely love. It's so quiet, yet intense. I love the storytelling, which feels clear and straightforward, unpretentious.

Aliens offer to take you away and give you a perfect—albeit short—life: do you say yes? According to Italian cosmic prog metal band Vanderlust, many of you would. “So, a bunch of people everywhere on Earth gave themselves” to the Coelacanths for that same offer, so opens The Human Farm. Several generations later, a human uprising leads to an escape from slavery and the discovery that the Coelacanths were all along harvesting Humans for their emotions. This isn’t meant to be funny. Vanderlust were deadset on telling a compelling sci-fi adventure in The Human Farm, enlisting guest keyboardist Francesco Londino (S91) and vocalist Martina Barreca (Mass Excess) to play the role of the Coelacanths. But did Vanderlust give us a sci-fi adventure for the ages with The Human Farm?

The gooey earnestness with which Vanderlust spill their adventure on The Human Farm is often matched by skill and musical vision. Vanderlust tear through speed-demonic numbers like “Viral Escape” or “Golden Shackles” with acerbically hooky, Vektor-gone-power-metal riffage while creating respite between the narrative beats with moody clean guitars and skittering drums on “The Turning Point” and “Connection Failed.” Guitarist Francesco Romeggini solos like mad on The Human Farm, shredding Megadethly over Blind Guardian riffs on the almost-instrumental “From the Cave – Fuga” and imbuing “Drive” with a gravitas and refinement. Bassist David Cantina and drummer Giacomo Mezzetti hold down Vanderlust’s rhythms, both driving (“Reborn…Again”) and groovy (“Humanity 3.0 – The New Canaan”) and shine on the “Battlefield”‘s bass solo and underlying fills. Ricca Morello’s vocals can get a bit mush-mouthed in the softer moments, but his power metal-inclined range and delivery crush the big moments, and Barreca’s death growls hit consistently, recalling Ophelion’s vocal duo on 2025’s The Jaunt. The Human Farm isn’t groundbreaking conceptually, but Vanderlust have the chops to tell their tale.

The Human Farm thrives in its biggest moments. Morello sounds his best when he goes all in, like on the Blind Guardian-coded power bonanza “Battlefield”1 and emotionally charged bookends “Humanity 2.0 – The Human Farm” and “Humanity 3.0 – The New Canaan.” Barreca’s growls add tons of punch to Vanderlust’s sound. When she trades lines with the choir on “Connection Failed” or clean sings on “Reborn…Again” and brings Meat Loaf melodrama to Dream Theater balladry, it feels so right. However, The Human Farm lulls when Vanderlust take the pedal off the metal. Momentum from “Golden Shackles” dissipates in the slow-burning of “The Turning Point” and doesn’t return until halfway through “Connection Failed,” and the barn-burning energy of “Viral Escape” is utterly deflated by the narrative interlude “…Find Them!”. However, Vanderlust are at any given time never too far off from another soaring crescendo, making The Human Farm an exciting listen, if not consistently so.

Vanderlust’s conceptual ambitions ultimately hinder The Human Farm, I feel. Vanderlust frequently dumb down musical ideas to allow narration more sonic space. This issue is exacerbated by the uniformly bad acting performances across The Human Farm, which resembles those 90s PC games where they just threw some interns into the booth. But even if the line reads were good, interjected into songs like “From the Cave – Fuga” and “Connection Failed,” they come off as a tacked-on concession to the story rather than an integral part of the music, coming off as distracting or even detrimental to the music. Vanderlust can do interesting things musically to tell their story, like having Barreca clean sing in “Reborn…Again” after the Coelacanths are defeated, reflecting them at their most vulnerable, or reworking the “Humanity 2.0…” motif into the end of “Humanity 3.0…,” where humankind has escaped captivity but find new challenges in freedom and lead some to question their revolution altogether.2 But for the most part, the way Vanderlust tell the story of The Human Farm detracts from what they do well: thrashy prog-power anthems.

If Vanderlust could hone their storytelling as well as their songwriting on The Human Farm, we’d have a great record on our hands. As is, there are too many conflicting elements in The Human Farm for more than a lukewarm recommendation, though there are fantastic songs throughout. Fans of prog-power will find things to like here, and Vanderlust is a band to keep an eye on, and I certainly will try to catch their third album should they make one. I’m not sure if Vanderlust have a Terminal Redux or Access All Worlds in them, but I wouldn’t put it past them either.

@santi I recently built a #MeatLoaf and it worked with regards to remote loading. No luck with the FujiNet functionality though ... (using an ESP32 NodeMCU)

The #C64Ultimate overlaps some of the features you get from #MeatLoaf and #FujiNet (load stuff from SD card or network). This probably explains why I kinda forgot having gotten one before my C64U. Tried it today for the first time, with the FujiNet firmware.

Still in beta on Commodore devices, the image isn’t an option in the flasher app but you can get it from the releases.

I am mostly interested in the apps that talk to each other over various platforms. A bit lost right now :-)

I already have a good mushroom-#tempeh #meatloaf recipe, and they go in all my stews, soups, ragu and curries - anyone have any other innovative culinary uses for #mushrooms that we might not have heard of?

Remembering David Lindley!

“If I had money tell you what I’d do
I would go downtown and buy a Mercury or two
‘Cause I’m crazy ’bout a Mercury
Yes I’m crazy ’bout a Mercury
I’m gonna buy a Mercury and cruise up and down the road”

The only downside to the Bat Out of Hell albums is that they invite you to imagine Meatloaf having sex far too frequently.

I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) is an absolutely perfect song, I have no notes, I could literally listen to it every single day of my life. Sometimes I do.
