a METAL weekend

M and I are off to Baltimore for Ministry/Meshuggah tomorrow.

Rumor is that this is the last Ministry tour. Al has reported he’s going to focus on producing and growing his record label. Maybe we’ll see him do some RevCo. I’ve learned never say never with comics and music.

For those into technical drumming, check out BLEED from Meshuggah. 6 Months to practice & record.. plus they play it live. Listen.. then go home and cry.

Its Friday! Time for some random links.

Neat Video game sequels. Just like Hollywood.. when you are devoid of ideas, repeat yourself (or something cool or obscure from 50 years ago) and make some money.
Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out in June . Which is fine.. Ive yet to beat the first one.
Soul Calibur 4 in July. Last time it was Link, Spawn and um the guy from Tekken.. (thank you wiki!), depending on your system. This time its Darth Vader for the PS3 and Yoda for 360.

Bacon by the slab? Oh, yes please.

While munching on that bacon, see why HOCKEY RULES BTW.. all you bandwagon jumping Caps fans can go back to watching the Nats now (7-16 as I write this). Try Baltimore (13-9) instead.

Happy Birthday Hubble! Lets hope we get another 18 years out of you. Dont wreck the car.
