I just finished reading Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground, which is a really fine book. Norwegian Black Metal is quite a story, including arson, murder, Nazism, very confused teenagers, more murder, more Nazism, and a whole hell of a lot of high-pitched singing and grinding guitars. My favorite band so far is Abruptum, who are led by a dwarf who considers himself so evil that he can have no human name, and is therefore called “It”.

The kids across the street are having a party and their “band” is playing. So far they have played the intro to just about every song with a cool intro, including:

• Seven Nation Army
  
• Crazy Train
  
• Pipeline
  
• Smoke on the Water
  
• Sweet Home Alabama
  
• Sweet Child of Mine
  

They’re nice kids with basically good taste, but they should learn a whole song some day.

Cold pizza the next day is God’s Perfect Food.

A long time ago, when I saw Mary's Danish (hey, they were opening for the Dead Milkmen) between songs one of the MD guitarists would do exactly that...just play cool intros to famous songs. Repeatedly. Annoyingly.
