Music and Such
So, what's up with the recent sitemeter hits coming from the mid Atlantic states? Y'all finding everything to your liking?
Anyhoo, Nations is all on about music and shit. I like music well enough. I used to be a band nerd. Well, not exactly a nerd. I was the sort of disturbingly creepy kid that noone dared mess with, so technically, not a nerd. I was in band nonetheless. And I played trumpet. There's a fact that most of you didn't know. And I was pretty damn good.
I always wanted to play guitar, though. They didn't offer that instrument when I was in band. Strictly your basic school band shit like clarinet and flute which were considered the "girl" instruments, and trumpet, sax, and trombone-the "boy" instruments. Did I mention that I went to a goofy parochial school, and apparently, instruments have gender? Retards.
So anyway, a couple years ago, or three, I went and bought a nice Fender. I'm currently teaching myself. Not that difficult, except I have kinda short fingers, so I don't exactly use any orthodox technique. Where the hell am I going with this anyway?
Oh yeah. Music I'm into.
Kinda weird tastes, I guess. I like AC/DC. I totally dig Thunderstruck, Hells Bells, Mistress For Christmas, Back In Black, Dirty Deeds...
Black metal. Like Immortal, Satyricon, Emperor, Amon Amarth, Behemoth, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir.
Misc. metal: Fear Factory, Lacuna Coil, Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Tiamat, Tool, Rob Zombie. Some Danzig. Old Metallica (pre-Black Album) before they turned into crybaby pussies who didn't want anyone sharing their music on the interwebby.
And when I get nostalgic: Motley Crue, Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, White Zombie. Recently I've been digging some Whitesnake, Great White, WASP, Maiden, and Dio. Go figure.
And classic shit like The Doors, Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, old Heart, Janis.
Also like Massive Attack, some Goldfrapp, Portishead, Concrete Blonde (one of the most underappreciated bands EVER), Cake, Depeche Mode, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Smiths, The Sisters of Mercy, The Cult, The Sugar Cubes (gotta love them "The" bands).
Yep. That's about all I can think of for now. Blame the adult beverages.

this is the best lineup, and the closest to my taste so far. (ive been on a secret, closet, death/stoner metal trip for almost a year now!!!)
I can't believe I left off Roy Orbison. Love him. And also "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain. COWBELL!!! Hell Yeah!!! And even though I can't stand country music, I do like Charlie Daniels "Devil Went Down to Georgia." C'mon, who doesn't like that?
i agree, great list!!!
*wonders how he left out white zombie on his own list, goes back to reading more xul*
Hey Voices! Welcome to El Castillo de Xul! Back in the day, when I was learning to drive, I used to torture my dad with El Sexorcisto during spins around the mall parking lot.
Are you Canadian? or am I mistaking you for someone else? I'm a Canadian magnet. Should put THAT on a t-shirt!
