Being married, I sometimes have to watch crappy movies. This weekend we watched Devil Wears Prada and Employee of the Month. I didn’t mind staring at Jessica Simpson, but I thought Employee of the Month was pretty lame. I thought with Dane Cook, Andy Dick, Harlan Williams and the guy who played Pedro would be enough to keep me laughin, not so.

Anyway, as lame as the movie was, there was one scene that I found interesting. It’s where Vince and wingman (pedro) break into the boxboy’s house. There are a few shots of a Melvins tour poster. It was shown very prominent a few times. At the bottom it had Trevor Dunn’s band listed as opening.

I thought this was cool. Props for the Melvins. After 25 years they’re finally getting some recognition.

This is the coolest Melvins video ever made! This song rocks my world.  read more »

Slayer made their first ever network television appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, January 19. As usual, I forgot to watch it. Sounds like they played 6, yes 6 songs. A little mini-concert. They only broadcasted one song.

1. Eyes of the Insane (broadcast on ABC)
2. Jihad
3. Mandatory Suicide
4. War Ensemble
5. Dead Skin Mask
6. Raining Blood

According to blabbermouth.net: Kerry went into a back alley and hung out with about 20 fans and took pictures and autographs. He was really nice and made sure to stick around long enough so that everyone could meet him and get his autograph. The rest of the band showed up around 5:15 and started doing their soundcheck and rehearsal shortly thereafter. It was also about that time that the line began to grow to a few hundred people. During soundcheck [the band] treated the fans to full versions of ‘Jihad’ and ‘Eyes of the Insane’ (each was played in full with vocals twice and and ‘Jihad’ was played all instrumental once). At around 6:15 they started letting us all in and it took about two hours to get the whole line in, which looped all the way to Hollywood Blvd. (about 5 blocks). There’s a lot more to the story at blabbermouth.net. Pretty interesting actually.

I love the fact that Slayer is on network television, 12:30 at night, but hey it’s still ABC. Gotta give Kimmel some credit for having Slayer on his show. Awesome.  read more »

Back in the 80’s I was really into thrash and punk. One night, I was lucky enough to experience a blend of both styles of music, served up by a band called the Crumbsuckers. I still look back at this show with legendary memories. Awesome night!

I still listen to the Crumbsuckers on a regular basis. I was just browsing the web and what did I see, that the Crumbsuckers are back together and are touring! I don’t know who exactly is in the band now, but man is this exciting.

And even more exciting they are touring with the Accused. Wow! The bad news is, they are only touring in Europe. Let’s hope the Crumbsuckers and Accused stay together and do a US tour. Please guys!

I’m a major cartoon junky. I’m also a metal junky. That’s why I’m so into Metalocalypse. The music kicks butt. The animation is cool. And the show is just plain cool as hell.

Metalocalypse is on adult swim on Sunday nights. It’s about a metal band called Dethklok. If you love metal, you’ll love this show. Another reason I like this show so much, is Brendan Small.  read more »
