Map of Metal and Pre-HBF Goodness

Even though I'm going to be in the air (literally, due to the aeroplane, and figuratively, due to the Jacstocy -- my killer punch that combines Jack, Ecto Cooler, and X -- I'm going to be slamming beginning at 5 a.m.), Hair Band Friday will not be tamed for two reasons.

First, Hess sent me a link for a website called Map of Metal. Whoever put this together deserves a Nobel Prize. (I assume they give one out for Metal-Related Web Design now.) Seriously, though, even if you don't like metal, check out the website. It's very impressive. You scroll across a "map of metal," which has links between the various genres of metal and its influences. You can click on any genre and it will give you a description of the genre and allow you to play various songs. My favorite genres (not musically) are Viking metal, funeral doom, and unblack metal (that would be Christian black metal).

Second, as long as there are shirtless Brazilian dudes busting their asses trying (and failing) to cover "Sweet Child O' Mine," there will be Hair Band Friday. (Note: there will also be Hair Band Friday without shirtless Brazilian dudes busting their asses trying to cover "Sweet Child O' Mine.) Thanks to The Weez for the link.
