CMJ IS WINDING DOWN, BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO GET YOUR METAL ON

CMJ is almost dunzo. Vince partied way harder than I did and will probably need the weekend to recover. But don’t fret, he can’t be in terrible shape ’cause I didn’t find any piles of vomit in weird places around the MetalSucks Mansion.
If you live in the NYC area and still wanna check out some cool shit and get stupid sloppy drunk like Vince, it’s not too late: Heavy Hitter Inc. have their showcase tonight, with See You Next Tuesday, Arsonists Get All the Girls, Unholy, Catalepsy, and, oh, IWRESTLEDABEARONCE.* Doors are at seven and it’ll cost you a whopping ten bucks to get in. That’s right – for less than the cost of seeing whatever shitty movie opened this weekend, you can see five awesome metal bands.
I saw Despised Icon play this same room last year at the Heavy Hitter CMJ show, and they fucked shit up so hard I almost can’t believe that the Bowery Poetry Club was willing to have Heavy Hitter back. But hey! The loss of the cost of the property damage is metalheads’ gain.
Vince and I will be there. I’m not gonna do that thing where I tell you what we’re wearing so can find us. If you wanna find us, fucking find us.
More details on the show are avail here.

*Who I think should temporarily change their name to ISHOTABEARFROMAHELICOPTERONCE in Sarah Palin’s honor.
No tips on how to find you guys? I’m actually gonna be at this show, I was thinking I’d try to figure out who you guys are so I could say what’s up.
They’ll be the ones wearing hockey masks and fat 80s style Reebok sneakers.
Well shit… now I gotta find a new outfit to wear.
I will be there tonight. Wrestling a bear. ONCE.
What a fucking terrible line-up of bands. Enjoy ur flash in the pan scenester shit

Do you guys realize that you hate bands like Job For Cowboy and IWRESTLEDABEARONCE in the same way people who listen to music like Doughty despise some music just because the members are unattractive? The sole reason you hate on scene bands are for the way they look and how their fans dress. You come up with lame excuses like it’s repeating bands from 10 years ago but guess what? Bands have been ripping off other bands since the music began. If you don’t like it, come up with a good reason for not likening it, and the fact that some of their fans wear tight jeans isn’t a good reason.
Dr J… don’t be rediculous. That would actually require them to be open minded. It’s soooo much easier to just place everything in a nice neat little genre/box and sort those boxes according to what they are told they should like and not like. Because, don’t forget, when you get right down to it, 80% or so of metal fans are exactly the same as Britney Spears fans, they just had a different group of friends in high school to peer pressure them into classifying their musical taste.
What the fuck happened to cmj.com? Where am I going to find my metal charts now?
