Pete Swanson - Life Ends At 30



I'd never heard of Pete Swanson before I was strolling around the interwebs and saw this album cover on Pitchfork:

The tone of this photograph struck such an immediate chord with me that I immediately did a little reading, saw the words "noise artist" and went straight to youtube where I found the above track. I love the way it makes me feel like someone has filled my head with rusty tacks and is ruthlessly shaking my head in a blue strobe-light filled nightclub located in a suburb of hell. I'll be investigating the rest of Mr. Swanson, it's been a while since I've fallen into a noise jag but after this I feel one might just be coming on...

A Library in the Desert?



This is awesome.

Gwar Cover Kansas



And as long as I have Gwar on the brain now, let's do this too. Awesome! (and for the record I HATE the band kansas)

Lordi Lordi Lordi



This is funny as hell. I wasn't able to watch the entire interview, not much of it at all really, but I laughed my ass off just watching the every day mannerisms of these guys in their costumes. The guy on the couch RULES!!! Lordi obviously wear the Gwar influence on their sleeve but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I know nothing about Lordi, though I've seen their name a million times. I found this interview on Blabbermouth followed by the video for a track off their new album. Not too bad as bombastic anthem metal is concerned, though it's not really my thing. It seemed well worth posting though, just for the entertainment value:



And as long as we're doing this, let's go for some Gwar as well:
