Whattya Listenin' to Wednesday - 1/5/11
Happy New Year to you all! Christ, another year gone and I'm happy to see much of it blow to the wind, honestly. New year, new perspective. Not sure why we all consciously make changes and resolutions at the new year instead of all year long, nor why it seems like a year change is cause for renewed optimism, but hey, whatever. A new vibe to 2011 and we'll see how it all plays out in the immediate months.
After getting drop-kicked by some wicked moonshine to ring in the new year, I'm strategizing everything in my life from top-to-bottom and now that the industry is back from break, things will rev up again at The Metal Minute and everything else I'm affiliated with. Right now, been flying pages on a new thriller-horror short story that I've left the chains off to see how excessive it intends to go. Every time I pull the document up and resume writing, I literally surrender to what comes out, so consider yourselves warned for the final output...
Been obsessing over film soundtracks this week as I've always had a daydream of being a music coordinator for movies. While writing my novel "Saved By Zero," I created my own "soundtrack" as I saw the story unraveling and it kept me to task accordingly. Being floored by Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy soundtrack, I'm literally submerging myself in various film scores and soundtracks while I write this current story and market "Saved By Zero." I daydreamed my entire teenage life about being a rock journalist and it came true, you know...
So expect my playlists to be heavy on the film tip for the upcoming weeks while I get myself limber (as in Rule # whatever in the hilarious Zombieland) for a hopefully productive year. As always, thanks for your patronage here at The Metal Minute. Let's rock this sucka...

Ray, nice pull with the Mudhoney s/t. That alone is going to inspire me to listen to Green River this week.
Mark, is that new Wino out yet or are you listening to a promo? I had the pleasure of talking with Wino a couple of times in the late '90s/early '00s - super nice guy and a helluva guitar player.
I've been out of the loop for awhile. How's it going?
1.Ween - All Request Live
2. Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall
3. Anthrax - Among the Living
4. Joanna Newsom - Have one on Me
5. Slough Feg - The Animal Spirits
Hey Fred... what's the deal with Joanna Newsom? Does she warrant all the hype she gets?
cjk 44-It's a promo.
Taotechuck- I really like her stuff, although it's not normally what I would listen too. The first time I heard her sing, I thought it was a child singing. Her voice is usually the make or break for most people.
I would recommend checking out the song Emily or Easy. You could probably figure out if you would like the rest of her stuff by listening to those songs.
Happy New Year=)
looking forward for great music releases =)
All the youth is such a big fan of this metal... Oh God.
Satan worshiping is getting more common then we could ever think of. i don't know where this will lead but all should know that the doom is near.
free masonry and Satan worshiping is the same. iron maiden is the band which can be best described as a satan worshiping band. i liked your post.
Looking forward for a wonderful musical year =)
Happy new year to all...I hope we get to hear some real cool heavy metal music this year!
