Devious Journal Entry

Sun Nov 29, 2009, 11:23 PM
hope everyone had a good holiday.
mine was alright.

I just got done reading, out of boredom and curiosity, a couple outrageously pretentious and hopelessly confused Pitchfork reviews of Tool albums. Its funny, ten years ago it was easy for hipster hacks to poke fun at metal. Especially black metal, which was a huge fucking joke until a few years ago when it became in vogue. Sunn O))) released Black One, Wolves in the Throne Room started making records, Xasthur came out with an album on Hydrahead. Now black metal is being taken seriously by the American hipster press, and everyone's clamoring to namedrop Immortal and Burzum. but to paraphrase Nathan Weaver, who gives a fuck what a bunch of urban layabouts think?. idk, its just annoying sometimes. /rant.

by the way, Pitchfork's not as ridiculous as they used to be, and as some people seem to think. they actually get too much undeserved hate, imo.

not that anyone cares.

I also took down my ID because I was tired of seeing myself every time I got on dA, which is a lot, because I have no life. as made obvious by this journal entry.

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.

Do I really have to thank you for the +fav? Can I just keep it to a nod, or something?
