Top Music Videos of 2009

Now these are in no particular order. Many music videos were scrutinized over on a scale of 1 to awesome. Here's the videos that made it:

TÝR - "Hold The Heathen Hammer High" from By The Light of The Northern Star
I didn't take TÝR seriously until this album. It's Pagan/Viking metal in it's purest, unadulterated  form.This video just screams awesome. There's nothing more metal than sailing on a long ship, running through the forest, chopping down a cross, lighting said cross on fire, spitting on said cross and then continuing to hit the cross with your swords/axes.

This is how year end lists make me feel

That said, Metalbeard and I will be posting our lists shortly.

Bitch Slap!

I can't wait to see this whole movie:

The Sledge...End of Finals Edition...PAAAARTY! UPDATED: PLAYLIST

For those outside of UC Santa Cruz, this week was finals week. I had the good fortune of finishing up yesterday. With a night of partying out of my way, I'm here to help you out. Tune into The Sledge tonight at 10:30 for a special party soundtrack. Things to expect: Andrew W.K., Municipal Waste, and the Three B's: Beer, Booze, Babes.

I want you to rage it up tonight.

Swing your dial to 88.1FM or stream live HERE. Don't forget to call in requesting your favorite party songs!

[UPDATE]:
Here's the playlist from last night. As you can see, we weren't too creative. I think finals drained all that energy out of me. I'm still recovering.

Quick Update

If you're wondering why there haven't been many updates recently, here's the answer. It's finals week and UCSC and my balls are deeply dipped.

Things to expect/hope for after Wednesday (when I'm done):

• My review of the Dethklok/Mastadon/Converge/High on Fire show.
• Review of Devin Townsend's Addicted.
• Review of Gama Bomb's Tales from The Grave in Space
• PARTY with me Thursday night on The Sledge (everyone's done with finals in Santa Cruz)!
• Ronnie James Dio and what his illness means for him and us.
• Thoughts on the 3 Inches of Blood, Saviours, Holy Grail, and A Band of Orcs show.

That should be enough to keep me busy over winter break. Until then, check out this new music video for Devin Townsend Project - "Bend it like Bender"



It's one of the more interesting music videos I've seen in a while. I simply love the way it's "cartooned." Almost looks anime.
