Reign in Blonde [noun; plural] - Two tall, blonde chicks who bring the metal. We're not know-it-alls, and we don't report the news. This is our blog where we simply discuss what's on our brutal minds. Bon Appetit.
I’m not going to lie to you people. The lack of any good releases so far this year, combined with my waning interest in music altogether, means it will be slow around these parts. We all have lives, money to make, etc.
But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t share this with you. Some dude from a far away land (Ukraine, I believe?) taught his child how to do the metal horns. I’m not sure if this will automatically make the kid a metal fan, but it does mean he can do stuff with his hands. I hope there will be follow-up videos for “LOVE” and “HANG LOOSE” or the Star Trek thingy. Actually, I think we should be more impressed with the fact that this little guy appears to be reading a magazine for grownups at the very beginning of the video. YAAAAY WHO’S A BIG BOOOOOY??!!!
I must say, I gave Mr. Suarez’s holiday gift guide an uproarious applause yesterday. But lately I’ve been obsessed with this website UncommonGoods.com, and they definitely have a few good music-related gift options, including these guitar string bracelets ($10) pictured above. I would wear these myself, but I don’t play guitar, so it seems kind of dumb. But if another ladypal you know does, maybe you can get here one or two of these.
I saw Abigail Williams once last Summer and noticed they had a shirt that said “NORTH AMERICAN BLACK METAL.” And while I’m not much of an Abigail Williams fan, or a fan of the “trve kvlt blvk metvl” altogether, I couldn’t help but wonder about the shirt. Was it a joke? Or were they really trynna act like dey shit wuz bettah or sumtin’?
So now I wonder a similar question after reading an old post on Spinelanguage where I’ve just discovered a band called Age After Armageddon. They are a Viking Metal band. As if that weren’t dumb enough, they’re a Viking Metal band from no where near where Viking Metal is known to come from but rather….India. Because, ya know…who better to sing and teach us about Scandinavian ancestry than the good people of India? Is this band aware that people barely even take *normal* Viking Metal seriously, much less Viking Metal from the Far East?
Oh well, what do you think? Should I start pursuing my Latin music career now?
I’m really over the whole Juggalo thing nowadays, but I always found it funny that Faygo never wanted to sign any sort of endorsement agreement with ICP. I would never know what this stuff was if it weren’t for them. They don’t sell Faygo any place I know of around here, and from what I hear…it’s pretty disgusting. But I suppose the fine people at Faygo wanted to take a classier route, and collabo with the Michigan-based Just Baked company and make cupcakes.
I’ve never really understood the appeal of adding a sugary carbonated beverage to baked goods. There are people who add Coca-Cola to cupcakes, and even Mountain Dew (ew), but now Faygo? Dear lord…
Do you like Faygo? Would you eat these? Do you also have really bad teeth? Would icing your cupcakes with poo taste better? Do you think there will be more Juggalo bake sales now? WTF is MOON MIST?
Halloween is here! Seeing that my favorite day of the year is also my birthday, I’ve usually done fairly well with having a good, creative costume. But… this year not so much. With being so busy with work and well, life, dressing up for Halloween hasn’t been the top of my priority list. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t come up with a couple of good ideas. And since I’m not gonna cash in on those idears myself, I might as well pass em on to those of you that don’t have a clue what to be tonight either…
It’s 10.10.10 y’all! A perfect 10! Ain’t life grand?? I’m actually home this weekend with my parents and have nothing to do. So why not post something useless? Here’s 10 songs for 10.10.10. Some of them are actually good, too! Enjoy…
I’ve never really understood the point of sign language interpreters at large concerts. They cater to people who are *deaf*, and can’t even hear the music that surrounds the lyrics to songs, anyway. But I guess with their help, the hearing impaired can decide the kind of music they like based on the words and how the band looks. In which case…man, Whitechapel is screwed, huh?
But then again, it’s kinda nice to see someone make the most of their (questionable?) occupation. Like the guy above, for instance, who was throwin’ down big time at this year’s Ozzfest. The best part is towards the end of the video when he’s interpreting AC/DC’s “Big Balls.”
