I must say though that Dave has been and is a big fan of metal (older stuff mostly) and has been looking for a metal dude for a while. He and I actually discussed doing a metal column more than a year ago, but because of our scheds, it didnt work out. If you look back on the bands he has covered, some of them have been in metal (he is literally one of the first bands to post about your fave Genghis Tron ever http://74.52.173.194/archives/2006/03/genghis_tron_ak_2.html) and hardcore, so I think to call him and BV in general "bandwagon-jumpers" is a little premature. Email me, lets catch a show sometime Vince – Well I am glad it’s not a hate thing, I am a fan of your stuff and lord knows us metallers have to stick together because metal (and consequently, metal writers) get(s) no respect…..

I am looking forward to standing on my ancient feet for 14 hours tomorrow in potentially 95 degree heat. God, I love Texas! I am honored to report on SXSW for MetalSucks, easily my favorite metal blog on the internets. Hopefully, I can gerry rig my ancient 2001 laptop so I can provide you guys with relatively fast reviews. Of course, I might be too slobbering drunk to even remember where the gigs are; so, at best, it's a crap shoot as to what you're gonna get...

I wish there was a filter that allowed me to feed only the metal posts into my RSS reader so I didn't have to read about Vampire Weekend or whatever flavor-of-the-moment band is this week for the 109th time! @ Black Bubblegum: no hate, i really love your writing! i just find it curious that brooklyn vegan all of a sudden deemed it cool to hire someone to cover metal, ya know?
