Maximum Louisville
Made this in high school. At one time, it was really important to have a beard in Louisville. Also, you needed to be a good at kickball.

Inky Fanzine Friendship #1: Don't forget the Muggles...
Digging in the zine crates and I stumbled on this gem. The zine that led to my penpal friendship with Becky Miller. Harry Potter/WarZone inspired cover, really funny reviews. Love this zine. Start hassling her to make more!

I'd kill myself for you...I'd kill you for myself
I have no idea what KVLT means or why so many indie dorks are into Black Metal...but have a crappy Valentine's day everyone.

Vio-lence "Bodies on Bodies" (Dylan's Dumb iPod #10)
Eternal Nightmare's biggest shortcoming tends to be Killian's vocals. The dude doesn't have much range, he sounds like a damn muppet bird and he tends to stumble over his lyrics...but the limited abilities give everything a ragged soul (Paul Baloff anyone?) that's endearing to me. Also, it comes off a lil' "samey" as every single song is about death (I know, I know), but it doesn't really detract from the aural experience. "Bodies on Bodies" keeps the "songs about people killing people" theme of the album sporting vocal gems like "laughing at you loudly as you die/your wounds bleed profusely as you die" and "Come with me child, I'll do you no harm/as I violently am clenching her arm." Oof. I do like the part about "a gasoline injection into the vein." Creepy! I bet Dylan Klebold's journal read much the same way.
The song's most triumphant high points are the throaty call-and-response gang vocals ("KILLING! HE JUST KEEPS KILLING!/BLEEDING THEY JUST KEEP BLEEDING!") A'la Anthrax, S.O.D and a host of other NYHC bands. Also, the circle-pit part rules, and the drumming is top-notch. Ultimately, a great song that's freely indicative of the rest of the album. Hordes of metalheads swear by this album, and it's absolutely crucial, if for nothing more than presenting an exuberant embodiment of Bay Area Thrash.
