No, silly — I’m not talking about a seminal musician or some legendary band (although in a way, I am); me’s mentioning the almighty Spinal Tap as a reference to how humor so accurately fits into this world of music criticism within which we play. It’s often hard for the most serious artists among us to remember that it can all be pretty fucking laughable, and so here’s a couple reminderz for ya (after the, y’know, jump):

Hellz muthafuckin YES.

    “Why not make ten louder?”
    “But…these go to eleven!”

    Dethklok have nothing on Spinal Tap.

  • CJ

    Fuck yeah. Spinal Tap is legendary.

  • John

    guessing someone watched VH1 last night?

  • bubba T

    It goes to 11!!! Classic! The EBS Fafner Bass Head actually goes up to 11 haha, just happen to see one the other day. I wanted to buy one completely based off of that.

  • Nate

    “Shit sandwich” lolololol

    an awesome mock-umentary.

  • Kip Wingerschmidt

    @ teaches of peaches: Spinal Tap was being projected at a bar I went to on Friday nite, so that’s what inspired me to write about it today…but yeah I will admit to watching VH1 last nite for other reasons — if reality tv is my new drug of choice then Rock of Love is like doing a whip-it right after smoking a fat rock of crack….totally retarded!! And who’d wanna miss out on something like that?

    Are we gonna do Stonehenge tomorrow night?

  • Carl

    NO We’re not gonna fucking do STOUUUNE HENGGE!

    One time my band and I were lost going to a gig, and we were at a gas station all peering over a wall map decked out in our “metal” clothes, with people giving us strange looks and it was at that time that i realized, “Oh my god, this is our first Spinal Tap moment!”

    luv that fucking movie.

  • Steverazor

    It was actually someone else’s vomit.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    How much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

    What’s wrong with being sexy?

  • Drakodan

    This is a nice little number, it’s called Lick My Love Pump.

    • Biff Tanner

      Its a mix of Mozart and Bach…. a “Mach” piece, really.
