Tonights playlist

[Cody Pomeroy]

currently sitting on my computer..drunk, listening to DJ Shadow's "Endtroducing, the Private Press, and the Private Re-Press" on my ipod...I suppose I could turn on the stereo and listen to music like a normal person, but the evening and my mindstate is way beyond that.

wow mike that was like reading an indian menu heheh..well...the definition of metal would go further back than even blue cheer..if u ask me blue cheer were a band who wanted to sound like jimi hendrix, i dont really rate them that highly to be honest..but "anything loud and distorted" in mainstream usage, can mean the who..cream...hendrix of course..all of those bands were around before blue cheer, and IMO, kick more ass than blue cheer....anyway, im not trying to argue against what u think of course, but if blue cheer can be credited with spearheading metal with loud distortion, what about THE OO?! they invented feedback! and they had keith moon on drums! but okay...theyre not metal, but without them there wouldnt be bands like blue cheer and mc5 and so on

Influences aside it all really starts with the second Sabbath record Paranoid. That was really the beginning in my opinion.

An intersting observation about Death Metal. My personal favorite style of metal. I agree with this sentiment as a fan of this genre form the the very beginning.

"Death metal was music that went farther than any before it in rejecting society in its whole and claiming that "only death is real," pointing out that no matter how much plastic you buy or paper that says you're important, death triumphs in the end; so maybe there should be a value to life outside the tangible? The subtlety of the genre was lost on most, but for kids of every ethnicity worldwide, it was a way of telling their elders that values needed reshaping. Unlike the directionless rage of punk or early heavy metal, death metal had clear ideas about how this world should be reshaped. It was against collectivism, industry and morality, and thorugh its thunderous, centerless, seemingly chaotic sound it suggested a world to explore outside the boundaries defined for us by our machines and moral traditions."

that is interesting...because if u want to get really deep, death is the only thing that is real but its also the only thing that isnt real....there is only life, u know nothing else but life...but being alive means you have memories and thoughts...time dissapears like water running down a stream, u can look at a flowing water and ask urself how is it real? because every single drop of water that flows past u is there and gone in an instant..

Death is the only thing you can count on in life. You will never ever escape it.
