I
Am Gambit
with
Mike Rapin
When the rantings and ravings of Mike Rapin
fill up among his small group of listeners, he turns to the digital pen
and paper. Expect nothing less than irrational cries about meaningless
anythings and possibly a logical idea here or there, but nonetheless hilarious
(for those with a real sense of humor).

stop reading now!
Metalocalypse
I f**king hate writing. Not like writing
for this column or for something actually interesting, but for school (college).
I f**king hate it.
But that is beside the point.
I want to come out here, right and now,
and say that Metalocalypse makes me love metal so much more. Adult Swim's
show pretty much kicks the ass of anything else I can think of. Sure, you
can come to me and say "Mike, you're a f**king moron" and I won't even
care. The show is utterly hilarious and I will not waiver from those words.
I know this is plain promotion for the
show, but I really would like to show my love for it.
The show focuses around a band called Dethklok--a
globally loved band whose actions mainly determine how things occur in
the world. One word: in-f**king-credible.
Each episode takes a small aspect of any
major metal band and plays hilarious antics on it. I love every minute
of each episode solely because the setup is repeated in each episode but
the plot is always new and unbelievably funny (for any real metal fan that
is). On top of all of the amazing story and such, you have actual music--and
good music at that.
I seriously have to give it up to Adult
Swim for assembling such an amazing team of musicians to create music for
this show. I listen to the available MP3s on the adult swim website near
daily and am amazed at the talent (I have attempted learning and it's damn
hard).
So here's to Adult Swim for giving some
awesome-ness to metal. Cheers.
PS. I'm kind of pissed that Dillinger Escape
Plan isn't in the Metal Archives...
