I dont even know who those people are lol
The link to the Portlandia thing was more interesting to me. This St. Vincent chick is a real cutie (although her music probably sucks...I have no interest in even finding out )
Carrie Brownstein is hilarious

 

[Dick Sirloin]

St. Vincent RULES. She's pretty prog, actually. Her guitar playing is a lot like Steve Howe. And she is WAY hotter than that Geddy Lee chick

I have a feeling this article will be a hit here....

To any straw black metal lifers who accidentally clicked on this article in your search for demonic pitchforks at bargain prices: A few of us dilettantes overestimating Liturgy, and then maybe checking out some other black metal bands' releases and shows, isn't "doing" anything to your precious "true" black metal. No one's taking your awesome tattoos away. (Due to a recessive trait, I can't even grow eyebrows, much less long hair and a beard.) Let Hunt-Hendrix be loopy and grandiose. That he's not your appointed ambassador to a larger outside populace you don't seem to want visiting your realm is plenty evident enough, so stop being pissed that we straw hipsters have granted him diplomatic immunity. (Have you noticed how arbitrarily and instantaneously we tend to revoke that shit?) Some of you sound like Mitt Romney sounds in this quote about people using contraceptives: "Think what that does to people in faiths that do not share those views." It does NOTHING. And if you're secure in your beliefs and choices, and the limits they impose on you, then you wouldn't worry so much about those of others. Let Romney happily torture himself with Mormon underwear, and let Santorum fear same-sex couch-sitting, while their neighbors should be free to reap the pleasures of being sluts. Similarly, you happily torture yourself practicing lifelong monogamy to the "true" black-metal strictures, and let Hunt-Hendrix write any oracular PowerPoint exegesis he wants to, while others of us whore out our iPod space to whatever comes along and seems halfway interesting.

so you can no longer say "i think your band sucks, fuck what you stand for" because it means you are some scared little child that is so threatened by some new trend that you have to lash out at it in fearful bigotry? cant you just think something sucks anymore? and whats wrong with bigotry anyway? these dicks are just as bigoted against your 'traditional metalhead' knuckle dragging closed minded haters-of-all-things-new that they accuse anyone that doesnt like their shit band of being. i think THEY make a way bigger deal about being 'hated outsiders' than really exists.

I'd like to buy you a beer

i actually think musically Liturgy is pretty ace ... its got that repetitive element that I like and they certainly sound somewhat modern and different at the same time.

HOWEVER, they ARE NOT Black Metal in my book .... their music does not evoke the typical feelings that Black Metal does. For me at least.

it could be the combination of their zany videos and colorful attire that made me come to this decision ... and maybe if I just listened to the music without any visuals I would feel different ... but that's already impossible at this point.

The guy who wrote that isn't in a band. Not that I don't agree with Angry Neal.

I have heard maybe two Liturgy songs
