oh for the love of all things unholy!
finally someone who gets it (hell, someone who even knows there’s something there to “get!”) as a rapacious “new blog reader/convert to a new world perspective” unfortunately thanks to 9.11, i have often wondered how to combine my love of sharp writing, reasoned argument and the most hideous of all musical forms—death metal, doom, grindcore, metallic hardcore, etc. and now you’ve done it.
your critical musings are most appreciated, especially your defense of us “untypical” metalheads (smart, perceptive, fairly well-off—i’m a tv writer by trade), as opposed to the aural australopithecines who get the most attention. like you, ive always found my metal brethren to be rather clever, interested and certainly interesting. (not that there’s anything wrong with the lunkhead who happily stagedives into the quickly-parting crowd…and quite frankly, provides much entertainment!)
anyway, looking forward the part 2—now i have to get back to my raging speedhorn, napalm death and new crown cd’s…
best, dan
update from dan: and i read bw&bk all the time so im not sure why i didn’t figure all this out before…
