PLAYLIST
PRESENTATION Though I’ve been mistakenly labeled as an elitist numerous times in the past, I’ll be the first to say that I’m strongly opposed to elitists and everything that they embody. I’m not necessarily a purist, albeit a little picky. I like to consider myself an open-minded individual with distinctive preferences, mostly because it sounds nicer. When listening to music, I generally look for superior talent, originality, and substance; everything else is insubstantial. I respect and appreciate both those who continue to break new ground, and those who have set the standard and paved the path in the past. I especially appreciate those who manage to maintain their integrity while doing so. What I DON’T like is mass-produced and overrated bullshit with massive idiot followings of ANY genre, “myspace bands”, and new age technical pseudo-grind garbage that masquerades as actual grindcore (simply because I believe it promotes ignorance, not to mention shitty music). As far as me the person, and not the metal aficionado- I’m optimistic, very friendly, and overly sarcastic. I despise ignorance in all of its forms (including racism and wearing socks with sandals) and I enjoy observing people and their behaviors (also called stalking, but whatever.) And though I may have my opinions of how things work, I’m always up for- and rather embrace- a little amicable disagreement. :-)
