Fimbulwinter - Black Metal Storm

Killer riffs, basement sound. I don't know how some people can claim to like punk/hardcore type stuff and not like this.

edit: I mean, I realize that they are very different forms, but punk heavily influenced (early) black metal.

IS TROPICAL-THE GREEKS

the song is kind of 'meh', but the video is hell of poignant.

I like this. I have always wondered what the deal was with metal always sounding like the 80s never ended. Not a huge fan of the screaming, either. But this is good. The riffs definitely have an early hardcore feel.

I always wonder if any meaningful proportion of metal fans like Lightning Bolt. Or other similar bands

I like the Lightning Bolt stuff. It reminds me of a lot of some the heavy, fuzzy, repetitive stuff that I listen to sometimes. It's definitely crazier, though.

I guess (one of) the problems with metal is that it's hugely sectarian, with all of these fanatical niche groups/styles. Some styles basically come down to trying to sound like one song on one album from one band. And that gets old sometimes, although there are bands that actually do it pretty well (Witchcraft does a pretty good early Black Sabbath). A lot of guys want to recreate their favorite song/band/genre/whatever, which is fine, but the more innovative stuff never really reaches the top(also, some of it is hard to listen to (full disclosure: I love that song)). So you get a lot of imitation, rather than innovation. At least on the surface.

But the good stuff's there, you just have to dig a little. Which I guess you could say about almost everything.

edit: One of the best explanations I have heard for metal is that "it does not have a sense of irony." Which is not completely true, but does make a lot of sense.

Lonely Avenue by Ben Folds and Nick Hornby. Particularly Picture Window.

Oh man, I looked up some lyrics for that and realised that instead of being about a woman whose husband is in hospital (as I originally thought) I think it's actually about someone whose son is in hospital. That makes it so much worse.

Oh... I think if you made someone listen to this song back to back with Brick on repeat enough times you could actually trigger chronic depression in the average person.
