Bring back
Annie Parisse! From the dead, I guess.

He IS? He's not in the video!!!

I'll forgive you for missing the new "Rhapsody of Fire"
because it came out so late in April. Luca and his Italian brothers-in-arms still got it, even without Christopher Lee.

was great in Robocop
but don't care for his music

No Jack Frost II?
Sequel to that sappy Michael Keaton movie was a B-grade horror flick about a killer snowman.

Score one for
religious bigotry!

Chocolate dipped Fritos with crushed red pepper
are a Christmas tradition at the Depardouchebags.

I'm not sure why Tyr gets grouped as Folk Metal either. But it might have something to do with singing most of their songs in a nearly-obsolete Viking language and wearing leather armor on stage.

I'm okay with Turisas, Tyr, Suidakra, etc. but Eluveitie has got something they haven't:

Eluveitie's February release? Anyone?
I know that epic/folk metal ain't the avclub's thang but they've got a chick playing the hurdy-gurdy. The freaking HURDY-GURDY. How can you not talk about the HURDY-GURDY?

Captain America #603
Captain America teams up with the ACLU to teach kids to recycle.

Disagree about Bridge to Terabithia
Solid coming of age story with great performances from the children. The scenes in Zooey Deschanel's music classroom are brilliant and Robert Patrick's tough love dad is perfect.

I just hope
that they get off the island for good.

I'm pretty sure that Rebellion in Dreamland would be awesome live. No fake orchestra. No chorus. Just plain epic.

Gamma Ray
ist meine Lieblingsgruppe!

Kazoo in place of sax = 10 kinds of awesome.

Thanks for not validating
that awful awful Careless Whisper cover on the radio. Seether? The Wham! version rocks harder than that crap.

Gold medals are only partially composed of
gold metal.

Does the set include
the disturbingly awesome cover of "Stairway to Heaven"?

Shattered Glass
Good call. Even coaxed a strong performance out of Anakin Skywalker.
