Noisy rock versions of songs written by John Zorn?  Count me in.  Zu's "Carboniferous" album blew my mind, and I'm really into Shine's "Blackjazz" disc (h/t to the late Leonard Pierce on that one).  Put a saxophonist in your metal band and I will check you out, for sure.

Hey Afghamistam, was that you I saw commenting on a Deadspin article recently?  It's weird to think that anyone here has a life outside the AVC.

Damn Sean, you brought your A game today.  Between this and the walrus article, I am impressed.  Seems the long weekend really recharged your batteries.
