I am a little weirded out wearing this around. Not ‘cause I’m worried about antifa, well not too much - wouldn’t take this shit to Slabtown, but like I say I know how to fight and I’ve seen those guys in their own shirts and not too intimidating I tell you what.

More cause I’m worried about getting called out by metalheads - I don’t actually like or really know that much about Burzum. I didn’t notice or care that I had a metal-shaped hole in my musical knowledge until I came to Portland but boy howdy.

I play pinball with people who grew up with Red Fang, with their merch guy. Played a game or two with the guys themselves, nice boys. Went to a show once, good crowd energy for the hometown heroes but for the life of me they sounded like mid-90s Metallica and that’s not an itch I was trying to scratch.

I mean if you look at my happy hardcore tag you can tell I’m not opposed to ridiculous power music from Northern Europe. I love Dragonforce, cause I’m an entry-level pleb. Ensiferum, too. If some of you scrubs I picked up through 'dwracu’s reblogs can give me some suggestions off that I’ll consider.
