All kvetching aside, this is actually quite astute. High school and college should be general education, not specialized, so that students have more options than what they initially thought was their limit or direction.

I'm up for demeaning those trust fund crusties.
What are there 5 of them in the whole country? Resentful pauper much?
If we go to Austin, I can find you five of them in ten minutes.
You are fortunate to live in an area where this plague is not commonplace. Many hipsters, "artists" and crusties are trust-fund babies. This is what happens when we make getting wealthy contingent on often (but not always) trivial things.

Good. Among other things, this lets us stop giving people false hope and start giving them accurate treatment.

Chasm / Internet tax
« on: May 07, 2013, 04:01:06 PM »
(Despite the political topic, I view this one as non-aligned. Do you or do you not want taxes on products sent over the internet? Every distro, every bookstore, etc. will now charge you regular sales tax in addition to shipping, which may also be taxed. Think about it!)
Congress just got back from recess and is wasting no time trying to increase taxes and take your rights.
The first item on their agenda is to tax and regulate small businesses online by imposing an Internet sales tax on YOU.
And the Senate is set to vote on this big-government scheme TODAY!
That's why it's vital you call BOTH your Senators and tell them to oppose the Internet Tax Mandate.
(202) 224-3121
Right now, it looks as though this big-government scheme will pass in the Senate unless you take action to stop it.
However, even if the Internet Tax Mandate passes the Senate, you and I must continue to fight it in the House of Representatives.
But you and I can stop it TODAY by putting enough pressure on the Senate.
So please call BOTH of your Senators and tell them to oppose the Internet Tax Mandate IMMEDIATELY.

Commerce / IMPIETY announce release date for "The Impious Crusade" mini-album
« on: May 07, 2013, 03:59:05 PM »
Today, HELLS HEADBANGERS announces August 6th as the international release date for IMPIETY's brand-new The Impious Crusade mini-album. The legendary Singaporean band's first studio recording for HELLS HEADBANGERS, the focused 'n' fierce The Impious Crusade is locked into the maxim of crush/kill/destroy - and CRUSH/KILL/DESTROY they indeed do across the five tracks and 22 minutes here. Including a cult cover of Sorcery's "Lucifer's Legions" and uniquely noble artwork sculpted by Lord Sickness, The Impious Crusade is the perfect IMPIETY statement: flawless execution, black/death barbarity and insanity, a veritable thermonuclear warhead aimed at the gates of heaven. Tracklisting and cover are as follows:
Full tracklisting for IMPIETY's The Impious Crusade
1) Arrival of the Assassins
2) Commanding Death & Destroy
3) Accelerate the Annhiliation
4) The Impious Crusade
5) Lucifer's Legions (Sorcery Cover)
Enthuses founding frontman Shyaithan, "Mission accomplished, and honestly really satisfied with how this record turned out! The Impious Crusade is a giant leap ahead from the last IMPIETY album, and to top this one is going to be severely difficult. But that is what I enjoy most, and shall continue to further challenge myself pushing wider, deeper, and even further beyond boundaries of untamed death and chaos." A release date for the HELLS HEADBANGERS vinyl edition of IMPIETY's Vengeance Hell Immemorial compilation shall be announced shortly.

Death Metal Underground podcast 05-04-13
High speed downloading has made metal music across the board more heavily pirated than ever, yet simultaneously given the whole genre far more exposure than before.
Perhaps most significantly, the ability it gives individuals to both broadcast and share content has allowed forgotten bands – who, for the quality of their work, should have been classics – to reach audiences and acclaim they previously missed out on.

Why “South of Heaven” may be the best metal album of all time
Slayer knew they’d hit the ball out of the park with Reign in Blood. That album single-handedly defined what the next generations of metal would shoot for. It also defined for many of us the high-water mark for metal, aesthetically. Any album that wanted to be metal should shoot for the same intensity of “Angel of Death” or “Raining Blood.” It forever raised the bar in terms of technique and overall impact. Music could never back down from that peak.
However, the fertile minds in Slayer did not want to imitate themselves and repeat the past. Instead, they wanted to find out what came next. The answer was to add depth to the intensity: to add melody — the holy grail of metal has since been how to make something with the intensity of Reign in Blood but the melodic power of Don’t Break the Oath — and flesh out the sound, to use more variation in tempo, to add depth of subject matter and to make an album that was more mystical than mechanical.

Slayer
Most of us just “attend” to things, like jobs and families, and hope for the best. The giants among us are driven onward by some belief in something larger than themselves or than the social group at large. They are animated by ideas.
For Jeff Hanneman, the idea was both musical and a vision of what that music should represent. He peered into the dystopia of modern times with one eye in the anarchistic zone of the punks, and the other in the swords ‘n’ sorcery vision of a metalhead. When he put the two together, he came up with something that makes Blade Runner and Neuromancer seem gentle.

Chris Reifert of Autopsy reveals details of The Headless Ritual
Famed for their contributions to late-1980s death metal and its continued guidance through the 1990s, Autopsy arose as a band playing a chaotic, filthy, organic sounding form of death metal, which was in contrast to the more rigidly technical “Morbid Angel” inspired bands of the day. In many ways, Autopsy was a bridge between the more structured death metal and the more chaotic but more melodic bands from the grindcore world like Carcass and Bolt Thrower.
Fresh from the studio, Chris Reifert (drums) was able to give us a few words on the nature of the new album, its style and the future for Autopsy.
