Something Shiny

Frequent visitors to the site, probably already know I’m a fan of the fictitious, animated band Dethklok from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse. Recently the third season of the show started and their second album (covering their second season) has been released.

Dethalbum II isn’t as spectacular as the first album, but still thoroughly entertaining.

Ok, we’re back to Thursdays. You know the drill, 5 random songs off the MP3 player, regardless of the shame they might bring upon me. Only one couldn’t be found on Grooveshark, and to be fair, I’m not sure how I wound up with the track to begin with.

Porno for Pyros by Porno for Pyros
Bachelorette by Bjork
Wishful Beginnings by David Bowie
Better Metal Snake by Dethklok
I Keep Coming Back by The Afghan Whigs

This came up but were left out here as they were not available on Grooveshark:
Everything They Thought Was Everything by Silence the Foe

Yet another trial feature. I always find it a little more difficult to get going on a Monday morning, so I thought it might be a good time to post something a bit heavier than I normally do. As I never really got into the stereotypical hair band metal, I may be stretching the “metal” label from time to time, I hope you’ll understand.

Today, I thought I’d combine two stimulants, metal and coffee to really get things going. I bring you Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle from Dethklok (of Metalocalypse fame).

Tonight, Dethklok (of Metalocalypse fame) play at Roy Wilkins’ with Mastodon and some other bands. The show was at the Myth, but with the whole maybe probably closed but possibly [not] opening at some time in the future, the show was moved.

The video is kinda sorta NSFW, for cartoon monster toplessness.
