    Jesus Krist! Bring back Vijay Prozak and send Brett Stevens on vacation.

        No doubt. At this pace, it’s just a matter of time before he tells us that Pantera was actually good all along.

    2. This is a metal blog; we report on the news. One aspect of that is the collection of stuff that metal heads, metal labels and metal fans do that our society considers positive. My personal assessment doesn’t come into play at all here.

      Initiatives like the Metal Meowlisha, this homeless-feeding arrangement from Century Media, and the various charity shows that metal bands play are integral to showing the relationship between an outsider genre and its host society.

      Whether flawed or not, these are attempts to give back and should be encouraged. If Century Media does a tree-planting next year — that’s a challenging thing to do in downtown LA — maybe that will address a wider scope of issues.

        Maybe they should kill the homeless and use the nutrients to nourish the newly planted trees?

        That’s what you are saying, right?

        RIGHT?

        1. Composting meat is more time-consuming than most people think. LA is additionally difficult for composting because it is so dry.

          I guess my dream here is an army of homeless people armed with scythes dismembering mall-core, nu-mu, tek-deaf, wheedle-core, shoegaze-black, post-metal, etc. bands and eating their intestines, but that may be a bit idealistic.

          1. eman says:

            Right, I didn’t think about the dryness in LA.

            Arm them with home-made body armor and have them stroll down the street, killing hipsters.

            It worked pretty well in the 1997.

    Think of it this way: every minute these people are busy amassing food for the homeless, they’re not putting out shit-tier records.

      Ah, Brett is way more diabolical than I suspected.
