I just want to rant about the music industry again. Apparently, our contact at Metal Blade was disturbed by the nudity, violence, and irreverence of our August show. While this show was thrown together in a hurry out of need because of various vacations and what not and was not our best work, for her to complain about the subject matter and disrespect just goes to show how far removed some people in the music industry are. At Capital Chaos we are always trying to push the limits and it is possible that some people may think we have crossed the line, but we feel we are doing exactly what our audience wants--males 18 to 35 primarily. We would not expect a woman of average values to like our show. we are not about pleasing everybody--oh contraire. We are Metal Heads, rebels, and rock-and-roll animals!

To show how ridiculous it is for Metal Blade to be disturbed by our content, I have posted an example of one song from one of their best clients, Cannibal Corpse:

Smash his scrotum sac
Allered ferociously
Survived this attack
Sterile now left to bleed
Emptied in the crotch
Gonads reduced to pulp
Hateful remedy
Void of sexuality

Sledgehammer destroys
Groin tattered and maimed

Emasculate
Crushing the testicles fast
Gebillitate
Cutting off the penis last

Macerate
Deforming
Enervate
Caponized

Detached genitals
Mangled between the thighs
Gelded painfully
Transformed before his eyes
Blood spews everywhere
Deprived of virtility

Sledgehammer destroys
Groin tattered and maimed

Inactive
She crushed the testicles fast
Disintegrate
She cut off the penis fast
She cut off the penis last

Inactivate
She crushed the testicles fast
Disintegrate
She cut off the penis last

Macerate
Deforming
Enervate
Caponized

[Solo Pat O'Brien]

Blunt force castration
Giving life is done
Blunt for castration
Desexualized
Blunt force castration

[Solo Jack Owen]

Macerate
Deforming
Enervate
Caponized

Smash his scrotum sac
Altered ferociously
Survived this attack
Sterile now left to bleed
Hateful remedy
Void of sexuality

Sledgehammer destroys
Castrated with blunt force

This has been one of the best summers of my life. I have been to so many great concerts that I still can't believe it. Of course, the greatest highlight for me was meeting Morgan and Mercedes from the band Kittie. My hard rock/heavy metal friends don't understand, but I really don't give a rats ass. If you choose the music that you like based on other people's tastes, then I pity you because you have missed one of the sweeter elements of what life is all about.

I also met so many great people from so many awesome bands that I can't remember them all. This week we interviewed Mushroomhead. They are a bunch of really great guys. Watch for them next month on Capital Chaos and here @ capitalchaos.net.

OK--its been raining forever. I'm ready to build an arc. The good news is Children of Bodom and God Forbid will be here on Friday. That and a new lady keep me from movin south.

Valentine's Day is looming closer. The dreaded day for us single guys. Normally, I would be trying to hook up before the afore-mentioned day of dread, but I am strangely content. I know, though, when I walk into the store on Feb. 14th and see all the happy people buying flowers and stuft animals and such, all kinds of past memories and negative feelings will pop up. I guess I will just have to deal with it. Last year, I got engaged on Vday. Now I just have the fucking ring.

Happy Fuckin' New Years mother-fuckin' dog rapers!!

I like Nickelback. And I'm wearing my Shinedown shirt now. One of my very favorite bands is Future Leaders of the World. Metal is my core, but I think it is very short-sighted to like only one type of music. On the other hand, some things, like RAP, I can't stand. Believe me I tried. But hell no! That shit SUCKS!

I bought the New Arch Enemy CD tonight, and I don't know if it was the caffeine or not, but it is so good that it gives me goose bumps.

I hate RAP music. In fact, I wouldn't even call it music at all. It makes me want to puke. But, since Capital Chaos is about varied musical tastes, you may occasionally see a Rap video on our show. I only hope that people who think like me can tolerate the occasional sickness that they may feel watching Rap long enough to see the rest of the show because we are bringing some really awesome shit to the air waves.

I do not ever want to get stuck in an era or a style of music. I have at times liked everything from Country to Techno; New Age to Metal. I like shit just cuz it's different or because it's bad ass. It doesn't necessarily even have to sound good.
