But I think it’s good, overall. These keyboards provide variety.

Here are a few of my favorite metal bands that include teh keyboards in one way or another:

  • HORSE the Band – Birdo

  • Genghis Tron – Arms

  • Anamanaguchi – Blackout City

  • Children of Bodom – Needled 24/7

I guess so.

by a democrat republican Cheech and Chong
Immortal Technique, you never heard me preachin’ a song
I’m not controversial, I’m just speakin’ the facts
Put your hands in the air like you got the heat to your back
and shake your body like a baby born addicted to crack

(God-damn!)

Artist: Immortal Technique
Song: Leaving the Past

Anyone who mixes hip-hop beats/lyrics with riffs from bands like The Pixies, The Rentals, The Breeders, and so forth (including a sweet mix of what sounds like Yo-Yo Correction: It’s actually Lil Mama rapping over the sweet double-bass part of Metallica’s epic “One”) is a good artist in my book. This is some total hipster shit.

I usually get totally obsessed over one artist for a while and totally burn myself out on them after a month or so. It’s happened with HORSE the Band, Genghis Tron, and now Girl Talk. And I have a feeling Lil’ Wayne may be next…

Yes, I am a total girl.

Anywayz, after downloading Girl Talk’s “Night Ripper” album from illegal art and jamming out on it for a few tracks, I saw similarities between his album cover and the cover art of Mercyful Fate’s “Melissa”. Nothing too obvious, but I found it interesting enough to post on my blog for future reference, mm-hmm.

  • Girl Talk – Night Ripper

  • Mercyful Fate – Melissa
