PLAYLIST
PRESENTATION Interests: Though my screenname (Cinemetal) obviously suggests that I am into cinema and metal (as in heavy), don't let that allow you to assume either of two things. First of all, that I am a film snob. Though I tend to avoid films of the lowbrow (and especially the ghetto) mentality, I do like tons of crass, popular or ordinary movies. I just understand the entire process, history, theories and criticism of movies better than most people. Same with heavy metal, and music in general. Though I always love chatting with fellow metal fans, I will not bother chatting with genre purists, people who use the expressions "sell out, " "brutal, " "gay" or "kult, " toddlers who employ the weak analogy that "if you don't like (insert band he likes), then you must listen to (insert random pop act here), " Slipknot kids whose dismissal of 80s metal is based on consideration of Poison and Motley Crue, so-called thrash fans who only know Slayer, Megadeth and Metallica, overly loyal fans of any band whatsoever (especially Ozzy, Pantera and Slayer; you zealots are morons...accept it), and so forth. Remove your biases, lose the homophobic and other Freudian sexual insults, learn your history and step up to me. As for fans of other music, bring it. If you like any mainstream rap, John Mayer, pop country, crunk and all other specimens of Negro braggadocio and ignorance, or anyone who has graduated from the show "American Idol, " please contract HIV and avoid treatment when it goes fullblown. Others, I am cool with. Classic rock (though I hate the term itself), opera, classic and indie hip-hop, klezmer/Jewish, Celtic, Germanic and various European folk, industrial, hardcore, progressive, European techno/dance, pop singer-songwriters, etc. Outside of music and movies, I also enjoy facial and bukkake porn, Dr Pepper, Port wine and German Rieslings, free-thinkers, teenage nymphets, hairless snatch, Yiddish/Jewish history, Sanford Meisner acting, toys from the 80s (Masters of the Universe, MASK, Transformers, Matchbox Parasites) and stegosauruses. Favorite movies: An even bigger list than the music...I'll just shut up now. If you're feeling up to the task, feel free to visit www.myspace.com/cinemetal for a bout of masochism.
