RIP DIO
An Angel (demon? elf?) is missing indeed. What, didn't you know about dio's start as an olde timey doo-wopper? He will continue to look up after all of us from the deepest bowels of hell, where he was just voted into office.

FEAR and loathing on SNL
Jim Belushi was a punk rocker-
Click the text below to link to the video of the performance. So raw.
There has never been a performance like this on SNL before or since and there probably never will. The only reason FEAR got booked was because John Belushi called in some favors and the shows ratings were in the toilet that year. As the last song begins the mike is cut and they fade to commercial. This was unplanned and done because the producers panicked...they feared a real riot was about to unfold live on their TV show and went to commercial.
UP THE PUNX

Taking skateboards to the slopes.

Metal Monday
Monkeys like Metallica. Sure why not.
"A group of cottontop tamarins were played a variety of music, including Bach, Led Zeppelin and Miles Davis, but they only reacted when heavy metal rock songs by Metallica were played."
-Speaking of Metallica, start saving those shekels-
"METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH AND ANTHRAX TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY" I have no words. Epic doesn't begin to express how fucking awesome this is. Biblical perhaps. The 4 horsemen of the Metal Apocalypse. Fuck yeah.
-Lance Armstrong listens to Maiden. And twitters about it
-According to wikipedia, Jim Carrey is a big fan of Cannibal Corpse, and allegedly insisted that the band make a cameo appearance in Ace Ventura:Pet Detective
Remember that?
-If you were to make a Venn diagram of the people who listen to metal, and the people who play harp, you wouldn't expect to see a whole lot of people in the overlapping section outside of rhapsody/nightwish/fantasy metal nerds rocking out in their parents basements surrounded by posters of wizards and piles of pizza crusts and empty mountain dews. This dude is the exception to that rule.
Bad ass.
If you are into the oxymoron that is "harp metal", check out
Harptallica
If you want to go further down the rabbit hole of strange alchemy, take a gander at this curiosity
Seriously. They also have "lullibified" full albums of Pixies, Nirvana, Radiohead, and of course, Metallica.
-Not quite metal, but worth speaking upon: Flaming Lips to remake Dark Side of the Moon with Henry Rollins and Peaches? Did someone just put a list with a bunch of bands, artists and albums in a blender, pull out the first 4 things and decide to go with it?
-For anyone interested in all things black/death/grind/wiggerslam/porngrind/doom/postthrash/various obscure as fuck brootal metal genres and bands/etc, I highly recommend reading the Metal Inquisition blog. It reads something like a cross between the do's and don't's section of vice magazine and perez hilton. But metal as fuck. Hilarious.
-For more black metal evilness, check out the photography of the one and only Peter Beste- Amazing stuff documented from within the black heart of the beast.
True Norwegian Black Metal
Unfortunately, at the time of this post the extensive photo section of his website was down. Google image that shit. Follow that up with the accompanying documentary, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood VBS programming station.
-Before there was a little band called Motörhead, Lemmy was in a more old school Sabbath'y, Pentagram'y psychedelic pre-metal band called Sam Gopal. They put out one CD and it rules.
And yes, that is lemmy singing.
Ever heard of Glen Branca? Some people talk about playing guitar as comparable to making love to a beautiful woman. This is more like raping a crackwhore in a warzone.
In bummer news, Dio was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer. Let us worship and offer virginal sacrifice to the big horned guy downstairs to aid him in a speedy recover.
That's all for now. Go headbang or something.

Blu goes big. Check him out.
If you are into this sort of stuff check out Wooster Collective. Pretty easily the best street art blog/site around.

Dash Snow, July 27, 1981 - July 13, 2009
Legendary NY wildman, outsider artist, photog, party guy extraordinaire, graf writer and all around odd duckling Dash Snow died last week. He was 27.
Excellent article about the bizarre, depraved, decadent life of Dash from New York Magazine HERE
Good sampling of his photo work HERE

Castaway, shred style
Former obscure swiss big mountain pro Xavier Rosset
spent 300 days completely alone on an equally obscure, remote, uninhabited tropical island. By choice. His only luggage was the clothes he was wearing, a swiss army knife, machete and a video camera (solar powered?). Says Xavier of his only companion on the island, a wee piglit he captured:
"I couldn't eat it because there wasn't enough meat so I took it with me and she stayed with me for three months...She was exactly like a dog. She was a very good friend for me but I didn't talk to her like (Tom Hanks) talked to the volleyball in the movie Castaway." (insert deliverance reference here)
Respect. You sir, are a badass. Documentary coming soon.

LETS GET RAD
Fuck the internet, I think this is the greatest accomplishment of our time. And it was in Vermont. Obviously.
This man is an inspiration. Not enough people in the world follow through with pursuing the things they drew in textbooks during middle school algebra.
