better ban teaching about vikings in history then

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

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.

Rape jokes are rarely funny. Even if the stereotypes are broadly accurate, having the whole thing be so rapey isn't necessary.

defining subgenres of metal through various kill/rape narratives = condoning rape to some degree

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.

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 (1 year ago) Permalink
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 (1 year ago) Permalink
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.

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.

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.

Thanks guys! Yeah, we figure if Billy Anderson is producing and Mell Dettmer is mastering and Profound Lore is putting it out, we might as well make it look awesome too ;)

What's the release date Nate? I know you told me but I forgot.

June 12. Profound Lore just announced it yesterday. And we are touring the East Coast, NE Canada, and the Midwest in June. Sorry no Texas this year!

Currently really enjoying the new Wild Hunt album. For fans of latter era Enslaved and mid-era Opeth.

You guys are making me blush. Saint Vitus in Brooklyn. Empty Bottle in Chicago. Closest we'll get to the Twin Cities is either Milwaukee/Madison or Dubuque, IA.
We should be announcing the full tour along with all album infos next week.
And for those of you who are dying to hear the album early, bug Josh Eldridge at Conspiracy PR. He's our dude as of 6am this morning.

My question was actually more of a bitter joke - if you're playing Brooklyn, which fucking everyone fucking does, I can't come to your show because of mass transit hassles.

Blows my mind that anyone plays Dubuque. When I grew up there, no one came, except for maybe Rush and Billy Squier at the Five Flags Theater!
