The Gentrification of Metal?
Could metal ever really be hip, unironically hip that is? I’m not so sure. My theory is that hipsters won’t have (un-ironic) metal because it’s too dangerous. See, hipsters are pussies, with good parents mostly, and metalheads come from broken homes, and like to drink and fight, or at least be obnoxiously aggressive most of the time. The peculiar culture and fashion of dance punk hipsters couldn’t possibly assimilate it. I doubt even uber-ironic hipsters could wrap their weak little arms around it. Transcendental metal bands like ISIS, are definitely winning some converts, but lets face it; Metal is for serious people, and these people are often from Norway, and can be scary. Hipsters aren’t serious. Or scary.
Ok, I’m out of here folks. Will be in Europe with Magnapop for the next 2.

Rock star probably won’t answer for a while, so I’ll tell you the tour was in Belgium and Netherlands, exact dates and locals from the Magnapop page available through hypertext link in this post. On the days off he was thinking about hitting the unknown Baltic states rather than wallowing in Amsterdam.

This is the message I got when I tried to go to the Magnapop site via your link on August 30th at 1:23 in the AM. Are they using two empty cans to house their servers? Hard to sell Merch if folks can’t access the site.

WTF!?!?!? Diddy. I want an opening slot. You’ve seen what I can do with a can of beans, an empty moonshine jug, a fiddle, a banjo (strings removed) and a marsupial. I mean come on–I’ll bring it.
