HEY ASSHOLES

I'm gonna go ahead and say it: "Because it tastes good" is no longer going to fly. Here is what you're supposed to think you're eating:

What are we, a nation of 6 year olds? Throw a happy cartoon of a jolly turkey ready to be eaten and we actually go for it? Embarrassing.

And here is the fucking reality:



I'm off to North Carolina and Georgia and Tennessee to see family, friends, and boulders. Eat like you actually give a damn people.

MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN

I came across something. An artist by the name of Kris Kuksi. There are really no words that I can add to these sculptures.

(Click on the images to enlarge them and also have YOUR mind blown.)

I can only assume it takes approximately ONE MILLION HOURS to complete one of these sculptures that is some manner of 3-D hybrid of H.R. Giger and Hieronymous Bosch. Truly amazing. Art man. Art.

I'M A PERSON JUST LIKE YOU...

Thought I would share this. Last night on FOX News, they did a segment on Straight Edge. I'm not sure what the weird-o phenomena is with major news randomly wanting to do segments on SXE, but it seems to happen every couple of years. Lots of local people here like Sweet Pete from IN MY EYES, and Chris Wrenn of BRIDGE NINE RECORDS.



In addition, the EDGE movie is making it's rounds. Having just finished it's US premier tour, it's now on it's European leg. I was out of town for the Boston premier, so I haven't even seen it. I am eagerly awaiting the DVD. Has anybody seen this? Is it any good?



I fucking LOVE what Ian says in the beginning of that trailer. So good. It's cool to see old SXE dudes growing up, being old, being Edge and being psyched about it. Whether it's Chris Wrenn who is definitely giving more back to the hardcore scene than he probably ever got out of it. Or whether it's Sweet Pete whom simply states that he will always be Straight Edge. Or even if it's the guys who made the EDGE movie taking their time and energy to document the scene. I'm glad to have been a part of the hardcore and straight edge community.

HIGH FIVES AND STAGE DIVES!

*NOTE: Please do not waste your time telling me how IN FLAMES is not metal, or how ABSU was wayyyy better before they "sold out", or that Left Hand Path is a superior ENTOMBED album to my choice from Clandestine. I don't really care. I am not trying to impress the metal elite. If you want to have a conversation about the KVLT and the GRIM, ask me about "LEFT HAND PATH" (not the entombed album.)

UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US

In keeping with my metal mood as of late, I bring to you the trailer for the documentary UNTIL THE LIGHT TAKES US. This movie is sure to knock the socks off. There has been a ton of interesting coverage of the Norwegian black metal scene. Whether it's Peter Beste's photographic journalism, or VICE magazine (barf.) doing some rather candid interviews with Gaahl. Plus of course the controversial book LORDS OF CHAOS, which is supposedly also being turned in to a documentary.

This film is opening in Providence on December 4th. Who will go see it with me?



Also, I found this little interview with the filmmakers.
