How To Play Death Metal [NSFW VIDEO]
This video shows John, a member of the Peterborough, Ontario band Super Quest, explaining how to play death metal on a guitar.

Back in August, Philip H. Anselmo and The Illegals made a tour stop here at The Intersection. It was most likely one of the most intense metal shows I have ever seen. Let's just say, Phil knows how to command a crowd. So of course, how could I not take this opportunity to interview this Metal Legend!
Dethklok, everybody's favorite animated metal band, are taking their music to new heights with the band's 'Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem A Klok Opera.' The epic event will air on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim on Oct. 27, but we've the exclusive premiere of an extra song, 'Blazing Star,' which will only be available on the opera's full-length soundtrack, which is set for an Oct. 29 release.
Last night in Detroit, Metalheads flocked to the the city to check out the rare occasion when the Swedish Death Metal group WATAIN hits the town for a bad ass show. Sadly I missed it, but my friends from MOSHPIT NATION checked it out. Also, it's not everyday where WATAIN checks in on WZZM 13's TAKE FIVE studios!
Check out Full Metal Jackie tonight as she is joined by Mark Osegueda of DEATH ANGEL!
Also music from Death Angel, Pantera, Gwar, and more!
Tonight at 10pm on 97.9 WGRD!
Man, do I love a good Mushroomhead show! I have seen them 10+ times, and each time gets better and better. It is really hard to believe that Mushroomhead has been on the scene for 20 years! They will be celebrating the 20 year existence with a huge tour, and one very big special suprise for all of the 'Shroomheads out there...
Join Full Metal Jackie tonight as she is joined by Dez Fafara of DEVILDRIVER!
Also music from Slayer, Norma Jean, Cascass, and more!
Starts tonight at 10pm on 97.9 WGRD!
A month or two ago, an amazing show that features Amon Amarth, Children of Bodom, Battlecross, and Huntress came to the Intersection. I started listening to Huntress and I knew I had to meet this band. Little did I know I was also going to do Jager shots and sing the NBA Jam theme song with them.
With the announcement of their upcoming album "Battle Maximus," it is only logical for the Scum Dogs to come from their planet to bring devastation and destruction. What better planet than earth? Especially when they pinpoint The Intersection in downtown Grand Rapids.
MoshPit Nation...a local grassroots groups letting you know what is going on in the world of heavy metal locally. Looking for a heavy metal show to check out? MoshPit Nation has the hook up for you. Last month, they put on a huge 2 day rock festival named "Hard Rock n' Metal Fest at Morelands." Now, MoshPit Nation brings another big festival specifically for METAL...BOOT CAMP!
This show has been booked for some time, but for you extreme heavy metalheads (like myself, might want to check out this show. Phil Anselmo recently released his album "Walk Through Exits Only" and it is some REALLY heavy stuff. If you want to check out Phil LIVE, your chance is on August 7th!
It's a big day for Five Finger Death Punch! Their BRAND NEW album named "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell" has hit the shelves and you can pick it up today! In support of this new album, I got to chat with guitarist Zoltan.

Animal health and welfare groups are closely following response and recovery efforts in Haiti to determine if and how they can participate with animal-rescue operations. "As always with disasters like this, the humanitarian rescue efforts will be the focus in Haiti for the first week or so. However, veterinarians are on standby to assist with the tragedy," the AVMA says on its Web site.

One of the reasons I have been in love with letterforms for so many years is that they collectively carry meaning. They give form and permanence to words. They transmit thoughts and ideas. So the purpose of letters is noble and essential, and that would be enough of a reason to revere them. But there is so much more to letterforms, something completely different that also fascinates me, they are real physical shapes each one a little work of art. And if you can use those little artworks those expressive shapes to convey an idea visually and intellectually that is expressive typography.
There is no single style of expressive typography. One designer who is most well known for his expressive use of typography is Herb Lubalin. You may have seen these classic images which use type itself and only type to convey a concept visually as well as verbally, a seamless connection that looks inevitable when you see it. In France the graphic designer Massin was also influential in his use of expressive typography. His best-known work in this country is his groundbreaking typographic treatment of the Eugene Ionesco play The Bald Soprano.
Massin used photographs of the actors in silhouette surrounded by bursts and cascades of their dialog in wildly varying sizes and styles of type. His goal was to create a theatrical experience on the printed page, it became a classic of expressive typography. Here are some examples I would like to show because the form of the typography amplifies the meaning of the text. And together they send one strong message. The head line chill factor is built from type meant to resemble blocks of ice a perfect complement to the topic and to the opposing imagery.
It's also turned on its side so that its height matches the image on the other side it's a cohesive hole. These great examples from wired are part of a series where the number three is customized to express the idea of the text. On the left the three is being sucked into quicksand, on the right at three is formed by a mass of forward projecting laser beams. My colleague Roberto De Vicq from the Type Directors club created this beautiful expressive book cover, the concept of descendants is expressed by his fanciful descenders flowing from the title.
Here you can see a simple but effective typographic treatment which conveys the concept of warfare and pairs up an active image with active type. Your message will always be most powerful when the words and the image are a perfect match. Give it a try. Expressive typography requires a little bit of inventiveness and a sense of play, maybe a little irreverence. Look at the letterforms think about the meaning you want to convey. Then think about how you might modify the shapes of the letters or arrange or customize them to bring additional meaning to the words.
You don't always need a lot of special effects and filters just a good idea, sometimes a simple solution is the most effective. Expressive typography has the power to say more than just the words themselves.

At the hospital he was quickly fitted with drip but then he suddenly started breathing heavily and gave up the ghost.
Prior to his death,Information gathered revealed that he posted a message online pleading for N2 million urgently but he did not specify the reason for needing help so urgently.

Sandia has served for more than 50 years as one of the major
national defense R&D labs, starting in 1945 in Albuquerque,
New Mexico, as part of the Manhattan Project, which built the
first nuclear weapons. AT&T began managing Sandia in 1949
after President Harry Truman offered the company "an opportunity
to render an exceptional service in the national interest."
In 1993, Lockheed Martin (then Martin Marietta) assumed
management of the Labs.
Today Sandia has two primary facilities, one in Albuquerque and
one in Livermore, California. Sandia employs about 7,450 people
and manage about $1.4 billion of work per year.
Sandia is funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy to
design all of the non-nuclear components of the nation's nuclear
weapons. Sandia also works closely with many U.S. government and
industry groups to make contributions to preserve the nation's
security. We constantly explore new opportunities to team with
government, industry, and university partners in this mission.
Sandia pursues "science and engineering with the mission
in mind" finding solutions to the nation's most challenging

Starlin in back with THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN in June
The post-Guardians partnership between Marvel and Jim Starlin continues with the second original graphic novel in a proposed trilogy about Thanos the purple skinned Mad Titan created by Starlin. THANOS: THE INFINITY RELATIVITY OGN comes out in June. While standalone graphic novels were once rare at Marvel they've gotten into the pool with the Starlin books, and some introductory books aimed at beginning (as in not experts in Marvel continuity) readers. The first book in the trilogy, Thanos: The Infinity Revelation, made the NY Times bestseller list, so it probably did all right.

Marvel Month to Month Sales Charts: October 2014 Variations on Variant Themes
BY JASON ENRIGHT — Hello Sales Chart Analyzers! In October, there were a lot of books. So to start, let's break down the numbers a bit. An interesting trend to look at this month is how variant numbers affect the sales. Several titles benefitted from being included in one or more of Marvel's themed variant programs this month. In October, Marvel had 3 variant themes, the Anti-Bullying variants, Deadpool 75th anniversary variants and Hasbro toy variants. Many of these issues were in the middle of an arc and normally would have suffered standard attrition of -1 to -3%, but due to these variant programs they got a nice +3 to +5% sales boost. Variants are one of many incentive programs that companies use to boost sales. Recently Marvel and DC have been doing these themed variants across multiple books and they definitely seem to be working. Whether or not, they are actually good for comic sales in the long term is another question entirely. What do you think of variants? Let's discuss it in the comments below. For now let's dive into the numbers.
Marvel's February 2015 Solicitations: Star Wars is coming

February will be Harley Quinn Variant month—and here are all the covers
February's variant cover theme fro DC Comics will be HArley Quinn, and that should come as zero surprise. It worked for Marvel with Deadpool, a similarly anarchic fourth-wall busting character. In fact if Marvel and DC were to do a crossover, I think Deadpool vs Harley would be the Batman vs Spider-man of the day.
In addition, Harley's new, Suicide-Girls-inspired look has definitely caught on, supplanting the sturdily iconic Bruce Timm designed onesie. I don't know who did the deredisgn for the New 52, but I think it may have been the most successful of the bunch.

Doc Scratch
Doc Scratch
A very mysterious gentleman whose goal is to bring about the end of the universe, thus summoning an omnipotent Eldritch Abomination. The First Guardian of Alternia and is thus extremely powerful and extremely intelligent. He was created by the trolls' Black Queen, using genetic code scribed unconsciously by the trolls as well as Vriska's magic cueball and a dimensionally displaced Lil' Cal.Communicates in [all white text, with perfect capitalization, punctuation, and grammar and rather formal diction, using no tags before his lines.]After the events of the Great Undoing, Doc Scratch dies and releases Lord English inside the Green Sun.He has his own page.
Lord English
Lord English/Caliborn
The enigmatic leader of The Felt. An omnipotent, time-traveling demon who appears at the end of the universe, who we are ultimately introduced to when he bursts from Doc Scratch's shattered corpse. However, given that he can travel through time and space, only showing up at the end of the universe is hardly an inconvenience; he is already here.His younger iteration, Caliborn, has his own separate character sheet.
The Handmaid/The Demoness
The Handmaid/The Demoness
Aradia's ancestor and the post-scratch iteration of Damara Megido. She is responsible for shaping Alternia into the Crapsack World it is.
Her Imperious Condescension
Her Imperious Condescension/The Condesce/Betty Crocker/B2 Queen of Derse
Also known as "the Baroness" and "the Batterwitch," the Condesce is Feferi's ancestor and Meenah's post-scratch iteration. In the original pre-scratch universe she was Colonel Sassacre's wife and the adoptive mother/grandmother of Grandpa Harley and Nanna Egbert. Although John says Sassacre was Nanna's grandfather, Nanna refers to Sassacre and Crocker as her parents. She disappeared under mysterious circumstances.In universe B2, she started a multi-global Mega Corp. empire that is designated to be inherited by her great-great-granddaughter Jane Crocker (the post-Scratch incarnation of Nanna). Although presumed to be deceased, she is in fact controlling humanity through subliminal messaging.She is eventually revealed the Troll Empress in the service of Lord English, not that everyone didn't know already. She briefly shaped events on pre-scratch Earth before disappearing in an unknown fashion and arriving on post-scratch Earth. It is known however that she has somehow entered the B2 Session and became the new queen of Derse. In the future of B2 Earth, she has also openly taken over and flooded the planet.
talks with lazy diction and grammar and doesnt use punctuation
appears to use feferis quirk when S)(OUTING FOR -EMP)(ASIS or capitalizing letters
presumably also uses a lot of fish puns and tiara and goggles emotes 38T
uses "gurl" a lot and sometimes speaks in large sparkly letters

As the Condesce
As Betty Crocker

Bogotá Markets: Fleas and All
As if Ciclovía weren't already enough to make Sundays in Bogotá magical, the second half of the weekend is a shopper's heaven in the capital. From north to south, there are tons of options for browsing antiques, handcrafts, jewelry, bags, leather, housewares and all those weird things that will probably never get sold.

Jazz Takes over Colombia
It's nearly impossible to go anywhere in Colombia without hearing music or seeing people dancing, but the second weekend of September kicks that rhythm into another gear, offering not one, but two world-class events for jazz lovers traveling to Colombia; from the Andean interior to the Caribbean coast.

Where to buy Lapis Lazuli in Chile
Lapis lazuli, a dark blue semi-precious stone, is a popular souvenir from Chile. Chile is one only a few countries in the world that mine the stone in quantity, with the other major source of lapis lazuli being Afghanistan. Lapis lazuli is naturally-occurring, and is considered more valuable the darker the stone, and the more golden (but fewer white) streaks and flecks it has. The golden flecks are pyrite, also called "fools' gold," and the white ones are calcite.
Traveling with Tots: A Guide to Lima
While Peru is a family-oriented country, many of the activities, including Machu Picchu and the Amazon, can be geared towards teenagers and adults. Still, that doesn't mean that little ones can't tag along on a Peruvian adventure of a lifetime. All it takes is a little patience and planning and children can get as much out of Peru as their parents.

A Day in the Vineyards with Mendoza Wine Camp
It's time to harvest the grapes in Argentina's winegrowing capital. Thanks to Mendoza's reputation as a world-class producer of Malbec – not to mention affordable prices and a stunning location at the base of the Andes – tourist numbers are up. But plenty of visitors arrive with the idea that they can go it alone, renting a car, exploring the country roads, stopping into tasting rooms on a whim. What they don't know – and what can end up being a terrible disappointment – is that most wineries require reservations that are strictly enforced at the gates by security guards with clipboards. Mendoza is, in short, one destination where you're better off leaving your plans to the professionals.
Colombia's Colonial Treasures: Barichara
Often mentioned as a frontrunner for the highly competitive title of Colombia's most beautiful colonial village, drowsy Barichara, in the Santander department, is a sun-drenched town of historic architecture and one of the country's highest per-capita concentration of artists and local artisans. It's slightly removed from the nearby Gringo Trail hotspot of San Gil, and tends to attract more Colombian than foreign tourists, especially on the busy weekends. The Colombian tourists know best, though – Barichara is one of the country's loveliest towns, and is a haven for artists and art-lovers alike, as well as those who are just enjoying a little warm weather while passing through. You can visit on a day trip from San Gil or stay overnight for a relaxing weekend – either way, there's plenty to see, even if you never leave the plaza.

Ecuador – Beyond the Traditional Tours
Ecuador in many minds is known mostly for its Galapagos Islands and within Ecuador, Quito and Guayaquil are typically associated as gateways to connect to the Galapagos. Two different cities – one in the heart of the Andean region – rich in Colonial art, history and architecture and one in the Pacific Coast – a tropical port city that has done so much to re-emerge as a modern and welcoming city. Both cities are known for their friendly people and are only 30 minutes apart by air.

How to Prepare Peruvian Ceviche
There are a few theories about the origin of ceviche and its name but it seems that it originated more than 2,000 years ago among the indigenous groups of northern Peru, where the Moche culture was situated (Chiclayo and Trujillo). Nowadays it is prepared in many Latin American countries in a multitude of ways. But if you want to know how it's served at the best cevicherias in Peru, get your pencil, paper and fish ready for a great recipe!

Great Spas of Ecuador
As if Ecuador did not have enough to see and do (Galapagos Islands, Andes Mountains, Amazon Jungle, haciendas, beaches, lodges, great food, colonial towns), people are beginning to come for another reason: their health.
Spas and Resorts have made a significant presence in the tourism circuit of Ecuador, from the Andes to the coast, with settings as magnificent as tropical rainforests to more stark, but beautiful high altitudes of the Andes. Many of them take advantage of Ecuador's natural geothermal hot springs.

Ecuador: A Birdseye Tour of Quito
Central Quito, comprised of about 1,000 acres of historical buildings, public spaces, and narrow streets and stairways, is a labyrinth that requires a certain spirit to discover it. But sometimes, even that is not enough. You still need access to some important places, something that not every tour in Quito can offer.
Meet Julio Rivas. Quito's one of a kind tour guide. A tour with Julio Rivas is unorthodox, mysterious, remarkable, and even suspenseful. Rivas takes his tours into the convents and the churches of El Centro, climbing the back stairs and maneuvering through restricted passageways, and it seems, always exiting onto the rooftops.

It's nearly impossible to predict what the Celtics roster is going to look like next season, but one name being tossed around is sixth man specialist Jamal Crawford. The C's are among the teams actively pursuing Crawford, according to CSNNW.com. The Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly showing interest in the 32-year-old swingman as well, while the Clippers and Suns have reportedly shown "diminutive interest." Crawford agreed to a two-year, $10 million contract with the Blazers in December that has an opt out option after the first year. The option's deadline has reportedly been extended to June 29 from...

NEW YORK -- With the holiday season underway, State Police continue their crack down on drinking and driving. From now until January, drivers can expect to see increased police presence on the roads, with DWI checkpoints scattered throughout the region. Despite a recent decline in alcohol related motor vehicle crashes statewide, police say they see a spike in alcohol related crashes this time of year, especially with the snowy weather.
"We want to make sure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday season, and that's why you'll see us in force out there, working throughout the holiday 24/7, to keep the roadways as safe as possible," said Trooper Michael Swarthout, NYSP Traffic Safety Officer.
Last year, more than 8,000 crashes statewide were alcohol-related.

Depending on the age and model of your car, several different issues could arise during the time you own it. Getting to know the parts that tend to need repair in a particular car can be a big help. Read this article for more ways to learn about auto repair.
When you run into car problems, you should first turn to the Internet to learn what the problem could be. You may find that it is an easy to repair problem that you can do on your own. This could save you hundreds of dollars in labor fees if you had to take it to a shop.
Pay attention to the gauges and trouble lights on your cars dash. Learn to recognize the warning signs of a car that is overheating, low on oil or not charging the battery. Knowing which of these indicators need immediate attention can prevent damage to your car and save you cash in the long run.
Do not make the mistake of having someone fix your vehicle just because the amount they charge is cheaper than everyone else. Many times the low prices make up for the lack in quality work. Doing research on the repair shop in question will help you decide if that is the case here. Continue reading

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need

Stuart Murdoch might hook more fans with this pastiche of bouncy pop-gone-by if Belle and Sebastian's reputation didn't precede him. When his Glasgow band broke big in the late '90s, Murdoch specialized in a timid, resentment-tinged melancholy that reflected both the hypersensitivity of aimless, romantic college grads and the alienation of underemployed Scottish youth (call him Holden MacCaulfield). But in 2003 Murdoch turned up and tuned in with Dear Catastrophe Waitress, which Pitchfork labeled "the Belle and Sebastian album for people who never really liked Belle and Sebastian." Ditto for this follow-up: Where once Murdoch spoke for entire classes of unhappy youth, now all he speaks for is his own taste in pop circa 1967-'72, a fascination with small-fry outsiders and a religiosity that seems more sympathetic to doubt than faith. Luckily, he has the rare smarts and talent to make these obsessions speak for him too. A couple of numbers merely ape Curtis Mayfield and Sly Stone, but he rides early Bowie, late Motown and classic T. Rex as if he invented them, with lyrics that belie the music's simple rush with their sharp portraits, framed by the confounding mysteries of life that hook us all in the end.

Trash Talk
With their first LP for Odd Future's label on the way, the Cali punks discuss their raging L.A. headquarters and how their tour van was used in an armed robbery.
By Jenn Pelly , July 30, 2012

California hardcore group Trash Talk have only subtly changed their template over the past seven years, but the band's profile has steadily risen, spiking last year with the excellent nine-minute Awake EP for True Panther Sounds. That release helped introduce the quartet to new audiences, a trend that's likely to continue with their next full-length, 119, to be released via their friends Odd Future's label on October 9; they're the first act signed to the Sony subsidiary separate of the OF collective itself.
Recorded to tape at a studio in L.A., where the Sacramento band relocated last year, 119 is "more expanded" compared to Awake, though "it's still definitely a hardcore record," according to drummer Sam Bosson. The band's staunchly no-frills approach is refreshing given the recent trend among hardcore acts to stretch out in the face of handsome record deals. We talked with frontman Lee Spielman, bassist Spencer Pollard, and Bosson about Trash Talk's warehouse headquarters, the organic origins of their Odd Future pairing, and the (nonexistent) impact of their ever-expanding fan base on 119.
"It's fucking boring to see bands stand still and rock
back and forth and expect it to be fucking entertaining."
Pitchfork: How did you first meet Odd Future?
Lee Spielman: We met them at SXSW in 2011. [Odd Future] came to our show that morning and saw what we were doing, and then we went to their show that afternoon. Hodgy jumped off the roof of the building and I was like, "What the fuck is going on?" It was cool because it's rap, but it has the same vibe and aesthetic as a hardcore punk show. We're like-minded people. I think a lot of artists don't really give 100% live-- it's fucking boring to see bands stand still and rock back and forth and expect it to be fucking entertaining and shit.
And we're all kind of in the same place as far as how we like to operate, too. Trash Talk Collective is something we built on our own; we take pride in that. And Odd Future Records is something they built on their own, and they take pride in it, too.
Watch Odd Future perform with Trash Talk at a recent Brooklyn show:
Pitchfork: Do those guys actually run Odd Future Records from start to finish? There's major label distribution and backing from Sony.
LS: Everything that's done with Odd Future Records and Trash Talk Collective comes through Odd Future Records and Trash Talk Collective. The only people that make decisions are us and them. There is no one saying, "We need you to write a Top 40 single," or fucking make a bedazzled T-shirt. If you have an idea and you want to do it, you get it done and execute it. There is no outside opinion on what people should do, at all. If Trash Talk signed to some other fucking label, we wouldn't be getting told what to do, but they would be hinting at what they thought we should do. But with this, you make your own lane.
Video portrait by Erik Sanchez
Pitchfork: Tell me about the title of the new album, 119.
Spencer Pollard: 119 is our address in Los Angeles. It's the warehouse space we turned into a creation space. We live there, wrote our record there, hang out there.
LS: It's Trash Talk Collective's headquarters. When we were on a tour a year and a half ago, we decided we all wanted to live together and build a space where we could be creative. So we rented a warehouse downtown and built a recording studio-- we built lofts and a mini ramp. It's a place where us and all our friends can come together and do cool shit, from making zines to painting the walls to skateboarding to writing music. We built our own little dream club house. We have parties all the time, fucking people come and rage.
"People are getting shot at on the fucking street corner
two blocks away from our warehouse. It's a fucked up
world, and now that shit's in our backyard."
Pitchfork: What kind of lyrical themes are you dealing with?
SP: There's a song that deals with police brutality and injustices associated with that. Our neighborhood has definitely been a big influence on the record-- seeing the street-level shit that's going on around us.
LS: Our area is pretty fucked up. It's south of downtown, kind of by USC. I could skate 10 minutes to the ghetto. Or I could skate 10 minutes to the Staples Center.
Pitchfork: What's been going on there that you've been writing about?
SP: There's like a ghetto burn-out everyday, at least one or two, usually three or four. People are getting shot at on the fucking street corner, two blocks away. Kids are fighting, smoking weed in the fucking alley, at, like, age 11. It's a fucked up world, and that's kind of what we've been writing about the whole time. But now that shit's in our backyard.
LS: There's streets by where we live where there's just a fucking mini tent city, where people just lay on the floor and do nothing. There's people diving in our dumpsters and fighting over our cans every day. A bunch of bullshit.
Trash Talk's Lee Spielman; photo by Erez Avissar
Pitchfork: Were there any particular events that pushed you to write about this?
LS: The ghetto hangs over our heads every day. You'll be sleeping at the warehouse alone and just hear gunshots; you kinda don't want to go out. Creepy people come up to our apartment, ask sketchy shit, people with fucking face tattoos. Someone got shot in the head a few weeks ago like two blocks away from the house. It was sad; the whole sidewalk was covered in candles. It was an eye-opener to the fact that where we live is pretty fucking sketchy.
But at the warehouse, there's a bunch of units. It's a cool artist-type compound. Our neighbor does pottery, another guy does lights. A guy a few houses down is an architect. We look after each other. If the warehouse was just in the middle of fucking nowhere and I didn't have my pottery homie next door to hang with, it might be sketchier.
Pitchfork: Have you personally had any trouble in the neighborhood in terms of crime or violence?
LS: The day we went to go record 119, we walked out to load our gear into our van, and our van was just gone. It got stolen from the front of our house. The entire time we were recording, we were trying to catch rides from friends and figure out how to get to the studio. And then, on the day we finished our record, the detective called to say they found the van. We got it back and the ignition was popped out, the locks were fucked up, the seats were gone. The police told us it was used in a robbery. I think they went to Mexico. They did a lot of dirt down there, while we were recording our album. They were out doing armed robberies and channeling us.
SP: And we were channeling them.
LS: You know how fucking crazy that is? We live in that van half the year. So much tight shit has happened in that van. So many blunts have been smoked. So much hanging out. So many jokes. Fun shit. I feel like vans are a chapter of our band. And a chapter of our book was torn out when they stole our van. And then it got sewn back in when they gave it back. It's missing a few pages, like seats and ignition.
Video portrait by Erik Sanchez
Pitchfork: Has the increased exposure affected how you operate as a band?
SP: I don't know if it's really a factor in anything. We're just a band doing what we know how to do: we play music, go on tour, write records. That's all we know. We are still pretty self-contained. We still tour in a fucking 15-passenger van. We're still fucking sitting on floors eating Chippy or fast food every night. Nothing's really changed except for the people we're playing in front of. And that's cool. We're a hardcore band, and if you're gonna come out and see us, that's tight. If you're a normal dude coming to see us, that's even tighter.
Pitchfork: Any other thoughts you'd like to share about the record?
SP: If you don't fuck with it, then you're probably trippin'.
LS: It's the 2012 Trash Talk yearbook!
SP: Listen to it high. Listen to it on acid.
LS: Listen to it however. Just fucking turn it up as high as you can. Make your neighbors pissed. Throw your TV out the window.
SP: Play it for your parents. Play it for your children. Play it for your classmates.
Sam Bosson: Listen to it while you skateboard.
LS: But sit down and think about it. And fuck Odd Future.

Ball was a contract holdout earlier this year
San Diego Chargers: Center Jason Ball, who missed all of training camp and the first game of the season during a contract holdout, was released by the Chargers on Tuesday.
The Chargers also released wide receiver Micah Ross.
San Diego signed defensive back Jerrell Pippens from the practice squad and added free agent center-guard Bob Hallen.
Ball skipped all offseason workouts and training camp while demanding a long-term deal. He reported six days after the opener.
He played in the last three games, starting two in place of injured starter Nick Hardwick. Hardwick, a rookie, returned to the starting lineup last weekend.
Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars added much needed depth to their pass rush by reaching a one-year, $760,000 contract with former Steelers linebacker Jason Gildon.
Gildon, 32, was released by the Steelers in June in a salary cap-related move. The Jaguars have one of the thinnest defensive end positions in football. They cut Tony Brackens and Hugh Douglas before the season, then lost veterans Paul Spicer and Lionel Barnes to season-ending injuries.
For the remainder of the season, the Jaguars converted 244-pound Greg Favors to defensive end, and they could do some of the same with Gildon. Gildon has 77 career sacks and was used from a three-point stance during passing situations with the Steelers.
He's 6-4, 255 pounds. Gildon visited the Jaguars on Monday and reached an agreement Tuesday morning.
-- John Clayton, senior ESPN.com NFL writer
Carolina Panthers: The Panthers signed running back Brandon Bennett to replace DeShaun Foster, who was placed on injured reserve.
Bennett has played in 74 games in five seasons, all with the Cincinnati Bengals.
He played in all 16 games last year, and led the team's running backs with career highs of 25 catches and 176 yards receiving, with one touchdown. He ran for 173 yards on 56 carries.
Bennett played at South Carolina, where he became just the third player in school history to lead the Gamecocks in rushing four consecutive seasons.
Foster, who broke his collarbone on Oct. 10. led the Panthers with 255 yards and two touchdowns on 59 carries. He also missed all of his rookie season in 2002 with a knee injury.
Arizona Cardinals: It took Neil Rackers just 13 games with the Cardinals to earn an honor most NFL veterans will never see.
Rackers kicked field goals of 55, 55 and 50 yards on Sunday, helping the Cardinals beat Seattle 25-17, and was notified that the Pro Football Hall of Fame wants the shoes he wore while tying an NFL record. With three field goals of 50 yards-plus in a game, Rackers matched Morten Andersen, who did it in 1995 with Atlanta.
The Canton, Ohio-based hall contains artifacts from pro football history and collects more items as each season unfolds.
Rackers spent the final seven games of last season with the Cardinals after recovering from torn knee cartilage. Released by Cincinnati during his convalescence, Rackers filed what became a successful grievance against the Bengals because of an injury-related release. He signed with Arizona as a free agent on Nov. 11.
Former Giant Ingram sentenced to jail
Former wide receiver Mark Ingram, a key to the New York Giants' 1991 Super Bowl victory, has been sentenced to one year in jail for stealing a credit card at a Michigan golf course.
Ingram, 39, now being held in a federal prison on a parole violation, received the sentence in a deal after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor for stealing a credit card from Copper Ridge Golf Course in Genesee County's Davison Township in July 2003. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed a felony fraud charge and a charge that he stole a club at the course.
At Thursday's sentencing, District Judge John L. Conover said the jail term may run concurrent to Ingram's current federal sentence. Earlier this month, federal prosecutors charged Ingram with laundering drug money, dealing in stolen cars and cashing counterfeit checks.
In a federal indictment made public in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., authorities say Ingram cashed more than $300,000 in phony checks and laundered $200,000. He also was accused of laundering drug money and of committing other crimes in a criminal complaint unsealed Oct. 4 in New York.
Ingram already has served a six-month federal sentence for possessing counterfeit bills. He was being held at the federal detention center in Brooklyn on accusations of violating terms of his release on an earlier charge.
Green Bay Packers: Defensive tackle Larry Smith was waived by the Packers.
Coach Mike Sherman said the 6-foot-5, 292-pound Smith provided depth on the defensive line when Grady Jackson and James Lee were sidelined with injuries.
Smith played in all three games since being re-signed Oct. 7, recording four tackles, three of them solos.
New Orleans Saints: Saints owner Tom Benson will be married Friday in San Antonio.
Benson is to be wed to Gayle Marie LaJaunie Bird at the Immaculate Conception Memorial Chapel. A reception will follow at the University of Incarnate Word.
A pre-wedding party was to be held at the New Orleans Museum of Art on Wednesday.
More than 2,000 people are on the guest lists for the events.
"It really will be two parties, so everything from a planning perspective is double," Bird said in a news release from the Saints. "There will be many priests celebrating the mass, and marrying us."
Bird, the owner of an interior design company in New Orleans, said selecting the date for the wedding was easy.
"Our schedules are very complicated," she said. "So when I'm asked, 'Why Oct. 29?' It's simple: It's the Saints' bye week."
Benson's first wife, Grace, died of Parkinson's last November.
Benson and Bird met at St. Louis Cathedral. After being introduced, Benson asked her to attend a New Orleans VooDoo game. He also owns the Arena Football League team.

IDW Continues To Celebrate Transformers 30th Anniversary
The Celebratory Year Concludes With New Series!
San Diego, CA (November 25, 2014) – 2014 marks the 30th Anniversary of Hasbro's TRANSFORMERS, which has been celebrated thus far with a blockbuster film and critically acclaimed comic series' from IDW. But the party isn't quite over as IDW still has some TRANSFORMERS debuts this year!
The long-running TRANSFORMERS comic, which originally appeared in 1984, came to an epic conclusion as, TRANSFORMERS: Regeneration One by IDW reached its 100th issue! Original series' writer, Simon Furman and artist Andrew Wildman led the illustrious series to its closing chapter earlier this year.
But as one chapter closed, a new one began during the "Dawn of The Autobots." After the cataclysmic changes of "Dark Cybertron" the Autobots gained unexpected new allies, of whom the breakout star, WINDBLADE, the first ever fan voted character, ventured out on her own critically-acclaimed mini-series written by Mairghread Scott and stunningly illustrated by Sarah Stone.
The smash-hit new series TRANSFORMERS vs. G.I. JOE by Tom Scioli and John Barber made waves upon its Free Comic Book Day debut. With its stylized over-the-top approach, issue #1 sold out before the first issue even hit the shelves! The epic space-romp has not only been praised by the comic community, but has also struck a cord with fans.
"It's been an amazing year for TRANSFORMERS comics," said Barber, IDW Publishing's Senior Editor. "The fans seem to be digging what we're making, and it seems like there's more fans every day. It's been amazing seeing how fast people have come to love WINDBLADE—and especially gratifying to see kids inspired by her. Add to that the phenomenal response to TRANSFORMERS vs. G.I. JOE and the outstanding level of quality on the other ongoing series, and it's been a banner year. Wait'll everybody sees what we've got coming in 2015!"
Throughout the year variant homage covers have graced the ongoing series' More Than Meets The Eye by writer James Roberts and artist Alex Milne and Robots in Disguise by writer John Barber and artist Andrew Griffith. Celebrating the rich history of TRANSFORMERS, these covers highlighted monumental moments throughout the history of Transformers.
This year has also seen a number of premier TRANSFORMERS collections released from IDW; from the 30th Anniversary Collection, with highlights from the many iterations of TRANSFORMERS in comics, to TRANSFORMERS Legacy: The Art of TRANSFORMERS Packaging.
The Cybertronian War has been the explosive topic of the TRANSFORMERS series Autocracy and Monstrosity and the final chapter in this expansive storyline, Primacy debuted this fall! Written by Chris Metzen and Flint Dille with art by Livio Ramondeli this epic conclusion can't be missed!
DRIFT, who made his debut in the pages of IDW comics was featured in the blockbuster hit film TRANSFORMERS: Age of Extinction, and this month he returns to his comic roots in the new mini-series from creators Shane McCarthy and Guido Guidi! Drift—Empire of Stone sees the fan-favorite character take on a mission to clean up the darkest depths of the galaxy.
As IDW comes up on its tenth year with TRANSFORMERS, it embarks on the wildest and most unexpected of crossovers with ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS. Written by John Barber the mini-series will be drawn by Marcelo Ferreira, and debuts tomorrow!
It's been a huge year for TRANSFORMERS in the anniversary year, and IDW is honored to be involved in the celebrations!

BigBadToyStore.com wrote:Hi - We wanted to update you about a new development in regards to your preorder of the Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust figure from Takara. We were just contacted by a law firm on behalf of Marlboro & Phillip Morris USA. They informed us that the MP-23 Exhaust figure infringes on their trademark and trade dress for products marketed and sold in the USA.
The mark in question is generally shaped like this:
| |
This mark is found on the hood/roof of the MP-23 car in red, and also in smaller green shapes on the left and right fenders. They are concerned because these marks cannot be used on products that could be intended for children as dictated by the Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobacco_Ma ... _Agreement).
We must comply with the requests they have made in order to avoid legal action with Phillip Morris. We have removed the MP-23 listing from our website. Your preorders have been transferred to a generic unpublished listing in case the product is changed or modified before release and would no longer be infringing. If the product is not changed, we will cancel all preorders and we will not be able to sell this product.
We apologize for the trouble on this item.
