The Metal Asylum: 8/8/12
Friday, August 24
12pm
Saturday was Backwards Day at the Metal Asylum! I have a slightly predictable habit of playing thrashy, punky, old-school metal towards the beginning of the show, then a little bit of death, ending with a transition to black metal or doom/sludge. Then, I typically leave the studio at 2 in a doom-y daze, blinded by sunlight as I exit Chicken Shack, gorge on Dynamo Donuts, and scoot home to take a nap. BO-RING! In the spirit of shaking things up, I reversed the typical playlist, and boy oh boy, I was PUMPED for the rest of the day.
Also. I have also re-fallen in love with Metallica. They’ve always been dear, but after their unforgettable spectacle at Outside Lands (8/11), I have been waking up every morning with a medley of Kill ‘Em All tunes whirling around in my head. My friend Andrea snapped this pic from the Snake Pit during the show. This is now my happy place.
