It's bonus time before we hit the end of year listravaganza. In truth I am testing out a couple of potential new segments. First Up, Lesser Bangs where I bash the venerated critic and highlight a song, album, or artist who is forgotten, unsung or non-traditionally heavy but should be celebrated. This installment its Generation Terrorists by Manic Street Preachers.

Second Segment: Billboard, bangers, bashers, blasts, ball crushers, something like that... Here I look back at the history of the Top 40 singles charts for the current week (This installment it's the 4th week in November) and attempt to pick out the heaviest (definition is subjective and ill-defined) tracks from the years 1968 (proto-metal inception point) to the present moment.

Manic Street Preachers-You Love Us

FINALLY, the conclusion of the wrestling story from February. A PACKED concert calendar and a few other things that probably don't deserve an ALL CAPS DELIVERY. But it's fun, I promise. And there's a ton of metal in this one.. of the -lica variety and the non-lica variety. This one is dedicated to my son and my wife who are both better than I deserve.  Apologies to Snakemother, I call them ‘Snaketooth’ toward the end of my concert review…unforgivable.
