I am here refering to the 'pure' metalhead. The one who instantly dismisses every other genre of music because it's too pussy. The one who constantly invents sub genres to look cool. The one with all the patches on his jackets yet he knows barely nothing about half the bands on there. The one who does the stupid 'devil' sign. I never did this at fourteen, let alone now. They do genuinely make me smile. Bless them.

PS if you are fourteen and reading this-you are forgiven. If you are 40 and reading this. Please open your front door, it's the real world out there and not middle earth sorry to say.

If I'm not quite mistaken, I spy an MCR shirt on that poor sod's chest. Is that what passes for metal these days?

#87. The Unexpected

A friend recommends an album. He hardly 'bigs it up' and of course with your own superior taste and knowledge, surely it must'nt be that good? After all, you have never heard of it right? Wrong. It turns out to be an undiscovered little gem chock full of great tracks. Double kudos points. Everyone is a winner. Latest examples : Metric. Silversun Pickups. Le Peuple De L'herbe.

#86. Film Soundtracks

I am not talking about the latest bland blockbuster tie in. I'm talking about the soundtrack to those smaller/cult/cool pictures that unearth tracks that you have never heard and quite frankly; blow your mind. Scorsese is a genius at the perfect soundtrack, Tarantino is brilliantly idiosyncratic and Mann marries the image perfectly to the ambience of a track. Three examples why you should watch films more (purely from a musical standpoint):

Deathproof O.S.T (Quentin Tarantino). How foot tappingly awesome is this:

Raging Bull 0.S.T (Martin Scorsese). Nothing short of movie perfection:

The Insider (Michael Mann). Sorry I have posted this in a comp but ex Dead Can Dances' Lisa Gerard is an amazing soundtrack specialist.

I wish I had friends who did this. All of my friends only listen to standard classic rock or modern radio-friendly country or Top 40 ****. My only friend who actually listens to full albums pretty much only listens to the most obvious choices (Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zeppelin's complete discography, The Beatles, etc.), and thinks that Franz Ferdinand is the only good modern band.

i always love these moments, i am never really the one person who is recommended music, but i will always give new music i find to one of my friends who enjoys it as much as i do. its always really great when he puts his headphones and listens - he will look very serious and concentrated, and then a certain section will come up that will really surprise him or something and the look on his face is priceless.

I have a queue of people at work asking me to make them CD's or recommend them something new. I'm pretty good at guessing who would like what.
Unfortunately the unexpected rarely happens for me...maybe once or twice a year and usually from here.
I think the 'Dig' album was the last time I was instantly blown away.
Calexico is the only band making an impression on me at the moment.
Wish it would happen more often.

I love that music is there when no one else is.

Alright! Way to think positive!

Not another Metal sub genre. So it is Metal that is influenced by hardcore, which in turn is punk influenced by metal and it is made by hillbillies..is that correct?
