Whoa.

I finally got around to tivoing the March 9th edition of Headbanger's Ball. Usually there's enough repeat videos that I've seen before, and enough songs turn me off in the first 30 seconds that I zip through the show pretty quickly. The very last video of the night started out with a simple riff and an unattractive clown. There's not much that turns me off quicker these days than guitar wanking, and this one almost did it. I'm glad I was patient.

Very rarely do I see a video that really captures the uncontrollable fury and mayhem of the heavy metal mosh pit. This one does: Blood and Thunder on Mastodon: Leviathan. (It's a 10MB download, but worth it if you're a metal fan.) I hope I like this as much in the morning as I do now.

Warning: clowns will eat you.
