Compare and contrast the vocal styles. Sweet.

Two EPIC metal videos posted specifically for possible future reference by Alan and Angry Jim.

Immortal – Call Of The Wintermoon

Candlemass – Bewitched

Some quality death metal drummin’. The live show definitely sounds less loud from behind the drum set, in my expert opinion.

Two examples of web-related hip-hop videos. One’s a CLASSIC from back in the day (2006? 2007, maybe?), and one’s more recent (December 2010):

It’s a weird thing, these keyboards in metal. But I think it’s good, overall. These keyboards provide variety.

Here are a few of my favorite metal bands that include teh keyboards in one way or another:

• HORSE the Band – Birdo

• Genghis Tron – Arms

• Anamanaguchi – Blackout City

• Children of Bodom – Needled 24/7

Holy crap, was popular television keyboard music really this nice in the 80′s? I guess so.

Humanity is gone, smoked up in a gravity bong
by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin’ a song
I’m not controversial, I’m just speakin’ the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack

(God-damn!)

Artist: Immortal Technique
Song: Leaving the Past

As some of you know, I’ve spent the past week or so totally jamming out to the samples/mixes/mashups of Girl Talk. Anyone who mixes hip-hop beats/lyrics with riffs from bands like The Pixies, The Rentals, The Breeders, and so forth (including a sweet mix of what sounds like Yo-Yo Correction: It’s actually Lil Mama rapping over the sweet double-bass part of Metallica’s epic “One”) is a good artist in my book. This is some total hipster shit.

I usually get totally obsessed over one artist for a while and totally burn myself out on them after a month or so. It’s happened with HORSE the Band, Genghis Tron, and now Girl Talk. And I have a feeling Lil’ Wayne may be next…

Yes, I am a total girl.

Anywayz, after downloading Girl Talk’s “Night Ripper” album from illegal art and jamming out on it for a few tracks, I saw similarities between his album cover and the cover art of Mercyful Fate’s “Melissa”. Nothing too obvious, but I found it interesting enough to post on my blog for future reference, mm-hmm.

We ain’t eager to be legal
So please leave me with the keys to your Jeep Eagle
I breathe ether in three lethal amounts
While I stab myself in the knee with a diseased needle
