0:02 We are in the train now going to Amsterdam. Yes, this is Nicolas.
0:14 And he's eating macadamia nuts for the first time in his life.
0:21 It's very nice to be back in England. The architecture and everything. The street.
[video] 0:34 I mean
1:10 It's a really nice view here.
1:15 Hempstead, this is.
[video] 1:21 We're going to the house in Aglia. We're going to the house in Aglia. We're going to the house in Aglia. We're going to the house in Aglia.
[video] 1:38 He thinks he put them on the table, so that means I'm going to have to search.
[video] 2:17 Nature calls.
2:18 Nature calls, okay. We are walking to an organic shop and just gonna check out what kind of organic shops there are here. So far I really like it. It's the atmosphere, everything. Those streets and everything.
2:37 Pretty much just like in Hull, except it's a lot fuller and actually a lot prettier. London. London. London.
[video] 2:47 so in the morning they have like up near here they have these kiosks set up where they sell like food from every single country in the world or something.
3:02 Oh wow. We just went to Whole Foods and they have a lot of organic stuff and now we're going to Planet Organic
3:19 Here we are.
[video] 3:24 It sounds so desperate somehow. Like really just the intensity of it.
[video] 3:45 Where they scream, it's like they're hopeless, you know? That's what it's feeling like sometimes. And the music is very chaotic, usually. And I, especially in recent years, I appreciate more structured music. You know, I know what's going on. But some bands, for example, Kaddish, they're probably one of my favorite bands.
4:09 Yeah, I was hoping to see them live here, sort of. I thought, well, could be. They did play in London, I checked once.
4:22 There are a lot of Russian screamers. What? Russian. Yes, what about them? Have you listened to any Russian screamers? There's this one, Optimus Prime or something. Yeah, Optimus Prime. But some say that they're not really real screamers, I don't know.
[video] 4:35 They have like violins and kind of stuff like that.
4:38 No, that's okay, I guess. I would set myself on fire for you, they also have the violin girl. Is it Marszak? No. Wait, no, maybe, no, yes, I'm not sure. Skrima?
[video] 4:54 Yeah, Skrima.
4:55 Hmm, Iosif. Uh-huh. Could be. Yeah. I know Maria, but it's something else. From Canada or something. Marszak. This part.
5:26 I'm pretty much only listening to this song because of that part. He's listening to Moonstruck the song by Moonblood.
[video] 5:38 I'm losing my black metal virginity.
5:58 It's just, the whole song is just, it's like seven minutes of pure awesomeness. It like defines Black Monolith, really. Very unique riffing.
6:09 Also the vocals. It's really Moonstruck and The Wolf Lord by Lycanthropy Spell, I gotta show you. Those two songs really...
[video] 6:23 I think I know what kind of black metal you mostly like. It's the kind with the more melodic kind of parts, but also with the really raspy vocals.
6:34 Yes, kind of raw sounding still. I guess melodic, but still really... And the drumming, it just has to fit.
6:48 Yeah, the 1349, the drumming with the Frost guy. Yeah, Frost guy. Yeah, I really like that. Yeah, he's a really good drummer.
[video] 6:55 Well, he's just really loud. Yeah, right. For black metal, it's what is important.
[video] 7:11 Yeah, it really sounds like he means it. Yeah.
[video] 7:31 So far, away, away, away it's all my tears.
7:38 I just found out that Nicolas doesn't know F at these speeds. Guilty. It's just crazy. Sound pretty good.
8:09 It's a skater from Finland. Yeah, they're making some video.
8:24 Yo, we just walked... How many kilometers? A bunch. A bunch. And it's like 11pm and...
8:37 12 a.m. in Germany probably so I'm pretty tired Good night The sun is rising so I'm gonna go up to the rooftop Somehow Whoops
9:22 so this is the rooftop this is what you can see from here you can go around here a little bit obviously a great thing to have especially in summer and here this is where he lives
10:00 Nicholas is still sleeping. He sleeps till 10 a.m. because he goes to bed late, compared to me that is. And I just found out there's a school right here because the kids are making a lot of noise.
11:09 Yeah, in the sun. We are gonna go to a park now. What's it called? Amstead Heath. Amstead Heath. Oh, we are going to the... The smaller... What's the smaller one?
[video] 11:19 Golders Hill Park.
11:20 Golders Hill Park, yeah.
[video] 11:24 We'll find some gold.
11:26 It's supposed to be sunny pretty much every day. All week.
11:44 What I want to say is I don't understand how Santeri and Dorus don't like London. I guess you both were in the south but we are in Hempstead now. We're still in Hempstead, right? Which is in the north and it's just really beautiful here. It's green, the architecture is amazing and we are at the highest point of London right now. This water thing, this park and it's awesome. I think London is... Really, it's up there with Paris as far as the beauty goes One of the most beautiful trees I've ever seen
[video] 12:45 Just being underneath this. I'm mostly into like shoegaze nowadays. I usually go for like heavier stuff, like the angelic process. Yeah. Yezu and Nadia.
[video] 13:15 Have you listened to Jezu?
13:17 No, but I should. I will, actually.
[video] 13:19 I'm going to put you a song. Okay.
13:22 Probably. I could imagine I will.
[video] 13:26 It's like this feeling of, you know, complete bliss.
13:31 Yeah.
[video] 13:33 Your senses collapse.
[video] 13:44 Then I saw the videos about how you should do, like there was this one guy who, I don't remember what his name was, his username on YouTube, but he was talking about how you should do sun gazing properly. Yeah. He said that you should start with like 10 seconds one day, then add 10 seconds, like 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 40 seconds.
14:01 Well, that's the popular belief, yeah.
[video] 14:04 But then I figured out you didn't do that, right?
14:06 No. You just... Basically went by my intuition.
14:14 Hey man, I was sun gazing at this, like at noon, this kind of sun.
14:20 It was pretty amazing.
14:39 I just got these two postcards gonna send to Germany and to Finland. So I'm going to the post office.
15:18 I'm on Parliament Hill right now in Hampstead Heath. It's quite beautiful. The view, it's something.
15:28 You can see the city but you're sort of in nature. So...
15:35 I recommend it if you're ever in London.
[video] 15:39 Which album is this from?
16:07 What? Which album is this? This? I don't know. You can check easily with Google. And now this.
[video] 16:17 Ah, it's just so good. Crazy.
16:36 Good morning, it's close to 6 a.m. Just went to the roof to see how it looks like at night so to say and the moon is really bright and it's really something to live in Hempstead because it just goes up like this The streets are also all so beautiful because they go up and down like a hill so this is why the view is like that that you can overlook the city plus you're in a roof of course but still you're even higher so it's just fantastic
17:21 Thank you.
[video] 18:47 They're drumming.
18:51 Nicholas just woke up, this is his wake up song. He's gonna wake up face.
[video] 18:55 Yeah, right.
19:15 That's the three minute part and then 3.30 is just BOOM!
[video] 19:42 The guitar, man.
19:58 That's why I listen to so much related stuff, but there's pretty much nothing like it. It's pretty unique, I guess.
20:11 Oh, the band or the song? Yeah, the band. I mean, the songs are similar, but this one really takes the cake off my little flake. For fuck's sake, I'm not Drake.
[video] 20:25 I told you not to bake the cake without my steak.
20:33 In the lake.
[video] 20:46 Why are you doing this, Gaddis?
20:51 Proof that eating vegan isn't always healthy.
[video] 20:57 Do you want to be filmed?
21:01 Hey man, nobody likes to be filmed when they're eating, I think. It seems like it.
21:28 What is the cemetery called? Brompton Cemetery It's near South Kensington Station It's incredibly warm today Scarily warm The cool thing about this cemetery is that it's not tidied up as it is in all of the German ones From what I've seen anyway but actually it's all overgrown or whatever it's called with plants and greenies yo yo yo nigga okay man what i wanted to say no really no jokes yesterday when i was walking around and making uh no asking for directions
22:16 everybody was so super nice I was really surprised I don't know if it was like super huge coincidence or if people really are like that here because in Berlin if you ask for directions obviously like in any city you'll get directions but they're never as kind so to say not like nice in a dumb way but just pleasant and it's people like business free business people stop just to talk to me and try to figure out where I can find a shop and stuff so Ooh, London! Yeah! You know Warhammer? What is Warhammer? With the miniatures?
22:59 My favorite? Yeah. I suck, and then in brackets, you're cock. Like, gay porno grind. You get what I mean?
[video] 23:12 Where's the grind, bro? Oh yeah, where's the grind? Where's the balls?
23:15 I suck. You're cut off. Cock. Oh. Okay. Is it better? Kind of, man. Kind of? What can you do? Give me something good. Give it to me.
[video] 23:29 I don't know, it feels so inappropriate.
23:32 Man, I'm trying to expose your sick mind. As if you were blind.
[video] 23:37 In the mind?
23:41 That's not very kind.
[video] 23:42 So, what was the white words of the Gothic kid? Uh... King... Gothic Cobra?
23:49 Gothic King Cobra.
[video] 23:50 My mind, uh... Yeah, these are the graves I was talking about.
[video] 24:48 Around the world's been 80 days since then
[video] 25:53 Just awesome guitar I love these kind of... These sort of notes with lots of feedback when they're repeated over and over again. Yeah. It's kind of what I like in black metal sometimes. It's a lot more distortion.
26:23 Yeah.
[video] 26:47 This is Embankment. The next station is Temple. This is a Circle Line train via Tower Hill and Liverpool Street. Calling the app.
27:29 Just for the camera, where are we? Soho, the gay part of town.
[video] 27:44 He was just a spiritual man. He was amazing man. He was so quiet. And he was genius. But he was always behind them, you know. Leonard McCarthy done all that stuff. And he was the one to really have a brain in the way, and a spiritual brain.
[video] 28:13 Give a farm to the farmer. Oh yeah, farm. He give it to the farmer. He give it to you guys? Yes. Nice. We now have the... I mean, I love that. I've got this album. No. It was nice album. But actually, this is not very easy kind of way of living, is it? How would you say? More like way of life.
[video] 28:50 What's that?
[video] 29:15 Go shoot the shot. Go shoot the shot. Go shoot the shot.
[video] 30:34 So, we'll do close ups.
30:50 His heart is talking. Jesus. Where are you now?
[video] 30:59 Where have you been all my life?
31:02 How many years do you think this has been submerged?
[video] 31:20 It's going to be unsharp.
31:26 Cemetery of Karl Marx. Explain to us why is this shit... In detail? No, just... Why do you not like him?
[video] 31:38 Because I don't like communism.
31:40 Okay. Good argument. Thank you. I prepared it.
32:20 This girl do you know them? This girl? This girl do you know them? This girl do you know them? This girl? This girl do you know them? This girl? This girl do you know them? This girl?

[video] 32:55 It's a joy song.
33:16 Kind of irrelevant, huh? You know, makes no sense at all? No. Just like the most popular one.
[video] 33:26 I think you had done like a video about graveyards once.
33:29 Yeah, yeah, cemeteries.
[video] 33:32 I did. So this doesn't mean anything to you?
33:38 Yeah, sort of. Because there's nothing here. Yeah, it's just stone.
33:44 Sixty what? Have you ever been to a funeral? What?
[video] 33:47 Have you ever been to a funeral? Yes. Like a relative?
33:52 Yeah, my mom's dad in Lithuania. My dad.
34:02 Maybe something else.
34:06 Yeah man, maybe there's no such thing as brother's side. A brother's soul? A brother's side, that's what he says. Maybe there's no such thing as a brighter side. Like a brighter side as past, next life or something.
[video] 34:21 Maybe. I'm not too scared about it, I don't know. Yeah, of course. Maybe I will be, if I know I'm close. But I'm not scared about it because I just don't know. It could be anything, it could be nothing. And nothing sounds interesting. I can't stand the way that you smile
[video] 35:16 I can't believe it.
[video] 36:03 They do one in the summer, it's called Pineapple. It's a pineapple with strawberry in it.
[video] 36:32 How is it? Want to try it? No, thanks.
[video] 37:10 ...between Tony Green and Manchester United and Manchester City are in most areas between Liverpool Street and Midfielder.
37:30 We are going to the Ebony Cemetery, another one of the top five London cemeteries. And... Afterwards, we're going to watch... Oh, an Autumn Afternoon by Ozu. Yeah, in a cinema. So that should be great. Plus, my boot broke yesterday, so Nikolas gave me his boot. Real proper leather stuff.
[video] 37:52 Yeah, man. That's how I roll.
37:54 And his jacket, and I gave him my jacket, so... Yeah, it's gonna be out of focus.
38:18 Hello, I'm reporting from England with my English jacket like a real gentleman. I want to tell you guys so you don't end up in the cemetery the London water is really fucked up because the first three days my eyes were red all the time and I thought it's some allergy and I was just thinking all kinds of stuff and then I realized always after I wash my face my eyes get all red for like three hours so the water is just shit here and you can also taste it so stay away from that if you ever come to London
39:21 A bit healthier than yesterday. Right.
39:27 We just went to an art exhibition. Julia Margaret Cameron, best photographer ever.
[video] 39:48 That's what I wrote. Outside, safe. I've lost. Yes, you've lost.
[video] 40:18 Thank you.
40:49 Chem clouds.
40:53 If that's natural, I'mma give it... oh never mind.
41:00 I thought I would dedicate one day to walking around in the center of London too, so I'm in Nothing Hill right now. It's kind of interesting, nice, quiet, cute. And then I'll go to the Oxford Street and London Bridge or something. I don't really even care to see it. I don't want to see the Big Ben and any of that. But seeing as I'm here, why not?
[video] 41:31 Oxford Street is pretty lame.
41:38 Again, I'm the only one walking around with a t-shirt. same as in Berlin. I know she was sweating. So hot.
[video] 41:47 This farce, this 20th century Bastille that pretends to be a pocket democracy. Why don't you put us all into solitary confinement and to get what you're after and have done with it? I call this meeting to order. Look at them. Brainwashed imbeciles. Can you laugh? Can you cry? Can you take Is this, is this what they did to you? Is this how they tried to bring you till they got what they were after? In your heads must still be the remnant of a brain. In your hearts must still be the desire to be a human being again.
[video] 42:52 I like this.
[video] 43:47 The library. Look at this huge statue.
44:00 We are in the USC. Yeah. No comment.
44:20 Tell us something about the school.
[video] 44:24 It's a university. It's in London. And apparently it's also a college.
44:31 Okay.
[video] 44:34 And there's a lot of Asian people.
44:36 I see that. Scary.
44:46 Okay, so this is Jeremy Bentham. He was one of the original benefactors of the University of London, invested in the University in many ways. And he looks around the founders, yeah. This is him dressed in his usual clothes.
[video] 45:09 Inside this wax model is the actual skeleton of Mr. Jeremy Bentham. Rather gloriously frightening. This place is haunted.
[video] 45:39 And the goal is apparently to keep the temperature increase within the next 100 years to 2 degrees Celsius. If it's more than 2 degrees Celsius, then there's going to be a lot of problems for civilization as a whole.
46:01 So you believe the global warming stuff?
[video] 46:04 I believe in climate change, yes.
46:05 Okay, climate change, yeah.
[video] 46:07 And anthropogenic climate change. So this is like... So they're devising all sorts of crap. Maybe just an excuse for geoengineering. I think that camera is a little over the place.
46:37 Nikola's favorite book. No, it just came. It will be. It will be, probably. Yeah, it's... Right, and... What is this? Well, how are we gonna make the shark? I don't think it's gonna work. Oh, it says Kristallnacht. It's the band Kristallnacht.
[video] 46:58 You're gonna lose some subscribers, huh? You're gonna be like, man, you're hanging out with a Nazi? I'm unsubscribing, bro. I'm just liking this video, bro.
[video] 47:09 And?
47:10 Oh, and? Black Sun, Orion Codes, Esoteric Nazism and the Politics of Identity. Nicholas, another Nicholas. Cool.
47:29 Guilty.
47:32 Heil Hitler? Maybe. Okay. Good stuff, man. Like, this is a 1,000-year-old, like, wall.
[video] 47:43 No, are you kidding me? 1,000-year-old? That's, that's, that's, that's pretty awesome, I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
47:53 Am I in video? Yes. I'm documenting my trip, so I have a YouTube channel. A YouTube channel? Not really, but I have some viewers. Hello, hello, a very nice person. Pleasure to meet you. Is this your first time in Europe? No, I've been here a few times.
48:23 I was in Italy, I was in... Oh, like Prague, that whole area.
[video] 48:29 I was in Germany, I was in Poland, I was in Bulgaria, Basia, Romania, Serbia. Yeah, the school I was in in Israel. We took trips, like, every year. At the end of every year, we took a trip to see the sights. You guys going? Yeah. Nick. Enjoy, nice to meet you. Yeah, nice to meet you, man. Have a good one. Bye. Have a good flight.
[video] 48:55 Come on. We're just looking. Oh, it's this sort of stuff.
49:02 Look at all this red inside.
[video] 49:06 Come on, handsome.
[video] 49:11 And if you had the black hair now you'd be like... Yeah, with the... Vampire perfetto.
49:17 It's probably warm also.
[video] 49:21 Look at this guy.
[video] 49:29 All made in China, folks.
[video] 49:37 This is the top. It's free, huh?
49:51 This is what I got guys, I love paper Doros and Tom this is for you Rate from 1 to 10
50:18 Okay.
50:35 Comment on where we are. All ages records in Cambodia. Okay. Lots of fun stuff.
50:46 Yeah, a lot of pins too. Yeah, and patches.
[video] 50:50 Proper English weather. How it should be.
51:16 So the cemetery is closed. That's what we feared.
51:21 Yeah.
51:29 We just found a wall to climb. Illegal!
51:56 We just saw a guy, could be a security guard because officially we are trespassing right now. But we just saw this bunch of birds, like green birds, never seen like green birds like that in my life. And it's just kind of magical, like in a cemetery where it's closed, a lot is going on. Maybe we'll see some ghosts or something.
[video] 53:14 way down thank you by the stream how sweet it would seem to find a dream
53:50 Yo, man. What are those cool pins? They're my new nuts in Sydney. Okay. Well, the red one is deaf in June. And the others?
[video] 54:02 Yarn and the Mevix.
54:04 Okay. And where are we going to? Surbiton. We have a record shop which I forgot what it's called. Yeah, there's supposed to be some emo stuff also. Plus the park. Plus Richmond Park, yeah. It should be near, hopefully.
[video] 54:57 We thought that there would be emo in Banquet Records, but turns out... We're disappointed because apparently their definition of emo is essentially anything that has distortion.
55:09 So we saw stuff like Atreyu and... Funeral for a friend, yeah. Actually, not even one real emo band.
[video] 55:21 Yeah, I mean, if, you know, most emo stuff, more underground songs to share more of this view. Yeah, I've come to three bands that I hate with a passion. You all should hate with a passion.
[video] 55:44 Did you also do that song, Kryptonite?
55:56 No, that was Three Doors Down.
[video] 55:58 Ah. It is great.
56:23 It's about to start to rain and that would be the first day in all of this time that it rained in London. So much for all the stories that it always rains in London. That's not true. Am I right? It doesn't always rain.
58:06 Yo, last sunset in London. Tomorrow I will not see it. We are in Richmond, London. It's very pretty here. Very nice area.
