This just made my day. I love those dudes.

MY METAL BIRTHDAY

WHAT- a weekend. Both of us were pretty busy this weekend with all of the Halloween/birthday hubub (thanks to everyone that wished me a happy one on Twitter!), but a good time was had by all. Here’s the recap:

• Elise and I hit up the Dethklok/Mastodon/Converge/High on Fire show here in NYC Friday night. If I could describe it in one word, energetic would be it. All the bands AND the audience were cuckoo bananas and it made for quite the show. Plus, Dethklok DID play “Birthday Dethday” which made me a giggly little girl.
• Saturday (Halloween) we did a little boozin with our buddies and metal bros over in our home borough of Brooklyn.

But what’s a birthday without PRESENTS??? Not a birthday, that’s what. The beardo got me these pretty girly brutal Swarovski headphones:

And check these out! The vinyl was part of my gift from Elise (ain’t she the best? Killadelphia is my fave LoG album), and the rest was from my parents.

A very metal birthday indeed. Hope you all had as brutal of a Halloween as we did!

MASTODON LOVE HALLOWEEN TOO

Neato!

As if it weren’t cool enough that Mastodon is playing not one, but two shows in NYC this week, check out their very Halloween-y shirt that is now available at their merch store.

To boot, you can also get a free Mastodon pumpkin digital stencil, and if you enter MASHALLOWEEN at checkout you get 13% off your entire purchase. It’s not so shocking that any metal band loves Halloween as much as I do, but they are really getting into the spirit this year and I LIKE IT.

The next question is: Will Dethklok be doing anything special too? (please say yes! I’d kill for some Murderface-shaped candy corn)
