25. our local university used to have a metal show back in the 80s~early90s

in fact, the college student who ran that show back then is the DJ on the big rock station here now who produces the Hard On Saturday Night and they play a lot of pretty good stuff - but only for 3 hours late at night. He is a very cool guy but I think he's hamstrung by the industry - he would play all good stuff all the time if they'd let him but the good stuff isn't always very radio friendly. But he gets what can get in that 3 hours and I appreciate it.

Morbid Angel is one of the headliners at the Maryland Death Fest this year. I'm pretty bummed I won't be going (I've gone the last 3 years) but not because of Morbid Angel - I've seen them a couple times - but I just found out that Morbid Saint is on the bill. I haven't heard if they are doing any other shows...Spectrum Of Death was their only album and I consider it to be the finest thrash album in history. They will be recording a couple new songs for the re-issue of SoD though so maybe there's hope...

Terrestrial radio is a fucking joke. Clear channel is probably playing more Nuge. Erose999 Apr 2012 #20
