Metallica

One of the greatest, and most prolific bands of all time. They were pioneers in the genre of thrash metal when they started out, with Kill Em' All. Their next three albums, Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All, were, and still are, all considered speedmetal masterpieces. When the 90's rolled around, Metallica released a self titled album, nicknamed the black album. This record featured a softer, more mainstream sound, but still had that characteristic Metallica edge to it. After years of tuoring for the black album, Metallica finally went back into the studio to record their 6th album, Load. Load had a much different sound than any of their previous stuff, opting for a more bluesy, hard rock style than the speedmetal that everyone associated the band with. Not too long after Load came out, a follow up album was released, ReLoad, which consisted of other songs that were written during the same time but didn't make it onto the album. Afterwards, an collection of various old cover songs from the 80's was compiled with brand new covers, and released as Garage Inc. And not too long after that came out, Metallica recorded a concert in which they played many of their classic songs, as well as some new ones, with the San Francisco Symphony. The result was the S&M album. Years later, in 2003, Metallica put out their most recent album, St. Anger. The album had mixed reactions among fans and non fans alike, but now, more than two years after its release, hopefully the controversy has died down, and we can all look foward to the next album.

garfield

1. A fairly generic comic strip that has seen better days.

2. One weird-ass President that I know nothing about

1. His weight used to be the defining characteristic about him. Now Garfield's not even that fat anymore. His head's as big as his body. Wtf?

2. Behold, I don't know who President Garfield is.

for whom the bell tolls

2. Good book by Ernest Hemingway. It's about soldiers in the Spanish Civil War.

2. Classic Metallica song. It has great guitar, cool lyrics, and is a perfect song to headbang to. It's based off of the book by the same name.

1. For Whom the Bell Tolls is an excellent war story.

2. "Take a look to the sky, just before you die... It's the last time you will!"

powerdump

A common variant of dump, the powerdump often occurs when one has diahrrea, has eaten something just a little too spicy, or has held it in just way too long. According to extensive reasearch on the powerdump, the majority of people who undergo it often say that it is one of the more unpleasant kinds of dumps. When taking a powerdump, it is not unusual to firmly grip the underside of the toilet seat to maintain stability.

Man, Rick had to take a powerdump last night, and he ended up spewing crap all over the place before he could sit down. Now my bathroom's ruined.

Sap

The first of the two EPs Alice in Chains put out. It's way different than their other stuff, seeing how it's all acoustic. Since it's an EP, it's pretty short, being only four songs long (Five if you count the hidden track). There also a few guest singers on Sap as well, notably Chris Cornell and the singer from Heart. Unlike Alice in Chains' previous album, Facelift, Sap seemed to trade loud and fast electric guitar for slower rhythyms and more meaningful lyrics.

Sap's an great EP. The hidden track on it sure did piss off a bunch of people.

Yet another great Pearl Jam album.

Listen to Eddie Vedder scream himself hoarse on the song "Blood"

B-wing

A cool starfighter in Star Wars. Unfortunately, it only appears in a few short scenes in Return of the Jedi, but thankfully the novels and comics afterwards exploited the awesomeness of this ship. The B-Wing is a Rebel fighter designed by the Mon Calamari, which kind of explains why it looks so weird. Anyways, it was meant to replace the Y-Wing in the Rebel fleet, and it carried a large amount of weaponry, such as 3 laser cannons and two ion cannons. The cockpit was on a swivel, which allowed the rest of the craft to rotate around it. I don't know how helpful that would be, but it looks pretty cool.

The B-Wing is my favorite Star Wars ship
