True. It is often times challenging for me to keep a straight face with my own children when they want to play music, or do a theatrical skit, or show me some art work, that is well, um, needing of improvement.

Go for things like "where did you learn how to do that?" and "you must have practised a lot -- I'm told it gets easier, the more you do it", rather than saying it's "pretty good", or similar.
The danger with artistic stuff is that if you tell someone that their inexperienced attempts are pretty good, what they take away is "IT'S PERFECT!!! NO-ONE IS AS TALENTED AS YOU ARE!!!!", and that really doesn't do them any favours.
Make it a discussion, not an insincere compliment.

Yes. I found it interesting watching their progression from their cover of Metallica's Enter Sandman a few years ago until late 2018/2019. Or, a few years before that covering Brahms on the piano.

When I saw "Napalm Records" I already knew it was going to be good - they're the only major discographic house I can say I really like.
The song is great - not exactly my genre but some black/gothic/doom metal is always well received here

The Warning don't claim to be metal. I'd describe them more as rock/hard rock. Their second album, Queen of the Murder Scene, is heavier than the TEDx stuff and heavier than their first, XXI Century Blood, but it's still not metal. But it is good. All depends what you're looking for. I like rock in general from soft through prog to conventional heavy metal. it just has to be good!

They have imo. Though might still not be to your taste.

FWIW, with music I often start off with - Hmm, ok I suppose, nothing special. Then eventually I become a hardcore fan! Not saying that will happen here but it does to me anyway.

My taste is varied: from Blue Oyster Cult to Metallica, passing through Ministry, System of a Down, Judas Priest, Alice in Chains, Type O Negative, Tears for Fears and Modern Talking.
I find them a bit plain, like late '90s rock, which I usually don't like. They also (always to my ear) lack melody without compensating with anything: System of a Down, Nirvana and Sex Pistols lack melody but they have effing RAGE in its place, for example.

I am still waiting for someone to explain how you get "L" from sinister...
I'll check back in another 30 minutes.

In heraldry (and other meanings) sinister refers to the left hand side; so in this case just "L". Rather a flimsy definition IMHO, but this is only CCC.

Sinister for L is a fairly common crossword convention. Also point for one of E, N, S, W.

I've never seen that in any of the crosswords I have been doing over the years. ENSW obviously quite common.
