Got this bag of goodies from u/MutantsOfTheEast for the July exchange. This is a really cool mixtape of mostly new songs to me!

Looking for Metal/Prog/Rock/Jazz that incorporates regional music influences
I'm a sucker for metal/progressive rock/progressive metal/rock/jazz that incorporate regional music styles. Some examples:
* Angra (Brazilian metal with some forró mixed in)
* Diablo Huma Rock (Ecuadorian metal with flutes and traditional song interpretations)
* Myrath (tunisian metal)
* Farmers Market (jazz/rock something something with a really cool balkan influence)
I'd love some recommendations of bands that have a similar take. No particular region in mind.

Help identifying a mystery pen
I took a gamble on an ebay auction (because cheap and interesting) and now I'm struggling to find out what this pen is. Seller claims it's a TA+D (a Taiwanese design studio) and that it is chrome plated, but I'm not sure how much of that is correct. Google lens gives me some similar pens, but no matches. It's certainly some kind of machined steel or aluminium, feels a bit heavier than my waterman. Writing is fairly smooth, feels a bit drier than my other pens. It takes a standard international cartridge. My current theory is that it's made by a custom machining shop that fitted a standard nib in it. I'm too scared to pull it out to inspect for markings that could be hidden under the hood

Foraging or sourcing sea asparagus
I'd love to source some see asparagus. Does anyone have any tips on where/when I can find some? I know some restaurants offer them, so there must be some around
