Sunday Styles

Perfect for the girl looking to complete her crunktastical crust punk look, replete with leopard backpatch, spikes and safety pins. Just add your own Subhumans and Amebix pins. Thanks, Forever 21!

Last Night...

One of the things that makes me happiest is pillow talk about music with Thorns. Last night, after some YouTube searches, we had a whole discussion about how though Ignite/Pennywise frontman Zoli Teglas is technically a better singer than Glenn Danzig, his brief live run with the Misfits wasn't satisfying. Not the same Evil Elvis steez. (This led to a further debate applying the same merits to the D'ianno vs. Dickinson Maiden eras of songwriting.)

I also reminded T that Acid Sweat Lodge is fucking awesome and everyone should check it out. So when I saw the below pic on there today, I knew I had to repost. Happy Friday, y'all.

Trial By Fire

Too soon? I still assert that The Walking Dead's interestingly-named IronE Singleton should play Christopher Dorner in the inevitable Hollywood film chronicling what's played out in Los Angeles over the last few weeks.

Hunting Osama: The Soundtrack

While reading an Esquire feature on the SEAL team member who was part of the hunt of Osama bin Laden, a couple of interesting music-related tidbits were revealed.

1. Metallica are back-peddling wusses. Not particularly revelatory.
It is important to him to stress that no women or children were killed in that raid. He also insists that when it came to interrogation, repetitive questioning and leveraging fear was as aggressive as he'd go. "When we first started the war in Iraq, we were using Metallica music to soften people up before we interrogated them," the Shooter says. "Metallica got wind of this and they said, 'Hey, please don't use our music because we don't want to promote violence.' I thought, Dude, you have an album called Kill 'Em All.

2. "God" - or Demon Hunter, at least - was on the Shooter's side.
A band called Demon Hunter got in touch and said, 'We're all about promoting what you do.' They sent us CDs and patches. I wore my Demon Hunter patch on every mission. I wore it when I blasted bin Laden."
