So what's the release date for the new Witch Mountain? Who's putting it out?

Looking forward to seeing them again in a month.

High On Fire (only $7.99 with coupon I found on Facebook)
Nice of this fucking coupon to go around Facebook well after I'd already paid $9.99 for it. Bastards. :p

That list that AG posted has been floating around for years, not sure why it resurfaced now. I think I can see why LL doesn't like it.

-5 for not yelling I WANT MY $2, jvc
also, jeff you know that i don't like it because there are 0 lols about stoner metal ;)
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:06 (twelve years ago) link
yeah that metal genre thing has surfaced on FB over the past few days for some reason. it really doesn't help convince people that already don't respect metal as a genre when it can only be described through the concept of raping women. awful.

I thought it was pretty funny. "The dragon kills himself out of boredom."

better ban teaching about vikings in history then
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:11 (twelve years ago) link
if you can't understand the difference between discussions of rape within a real, historical context versus using rape as a basis for Facebook "humor", then i don't know
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
the point is everyone knows that its not condoning rape. its poking fun at vikings, who amongst other things, were infamous for rape and pillage. i doubt anyone reading it think its condoning rape apart from you.
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:16 (twelve years ago) link
where did i say it was "condoning" rape?
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
can i recommend dropping it?
― two overweight dachshunds with three eyes (La Lechera), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:17 (twelve years ago) link
it = this conversation

Rape jokes are rarely funny. Even if the stereotypes are broadly accurate, having the whole thing be so rapey isn't necessary.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:18 (twelve years ago) link
defining subgenres of metal through various kill/rape narratives = condoning rape to some degree
― gimme prizza (crüt), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:19 (twelve years ago) link
fair enough, but i don't always think ignoring the elephant in the thread is the best way to handle it. but i can see i'm not going to convince people otherwise itt, so i'll let it go.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 5 April 2012 21:23 (twelve years ago) link
I mean, it's also inaccurate because it implies that metal is more about sex than it actually is… That said, there are some funny elements of the meme, but it's also incredibly misogynistic (which I suppose isn't to say that metal can't be incredibly misogynistic).

Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal opens at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on April 11. Curated by Revolver staff, ugh. They should have at least made it a joint effort involving folks from Decibel, Terrorizer and ILX!http://www.cherrybombed.com/2012/04/golden-gods-the-history-of-heavy-metal-exhibit-opens-in-la-on-april-11th/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=golden-gods-the-history-of-heavy-metal-exhibit-opens-in-la-on-april-11th

Got the DVD set of that Metal Evolution thing today - VH1 sent one over at my request, ha ha. Gonna check it out this weekend.
― 誤訳侮辱, Saturday, 7 April 2012 01:38 (twelve years ago) link
Is that all 10 or 12 installments? I want that! Are they going to sell it soon? I missed pretty much all of them. They are now playing them on some premium VH1 channel that I don't subscribe to, probably same one that That Metal Show is on.
Anyone going to the Decibel Devil's Blood, In Solitude, Watain, Behemoth show? I may have an extra ticket to the one in Chicago this Friday the 13th.

Would totally be going to that if I weren't already going to see the Heritage Hunter tour that night.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 9 April 2012 14:43 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, it's the entire series on 3 DVDs.
Heritage Hunter tour hits NYC on Wednesday night, but I'm actually not going - I've seen all three bands already and would rather be at home watching the previous night's season finale of Justified (I buy the show from Amazon so I get it 24 hours later). I am interviewing Mikael earlier that afternoon, though.

I've never seen Ghost or Opeth, so I'm pretty excited.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 9 April 2012 15:35 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I was gutted when Ghost dropped off the Enslaved tour last fall, so it's great to have a second chance at finally seeing them.
― A. Begrand, Monday, 9 April 2012 15:54 (twelve years ago) link
Metal Evolution is available on Amazon, but reviews complain that it's a DVD-R with some glitches. That's disappointing. If they can show repeats on an HD channel, you'd think they could put it on Blu-Ray.

Not able to get a link to the twitter picture to work, but the cover art for the new Witch Mountain is fantastic.
