Swedish man gets benefits for Black Sabbath addiction
Register – Jun 20, 2007
The lifestyle of 42-year-old dishwasher Roger Tullgren from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has been classified as a disability by the Swedish Employment Service which has agreed to pay part of Tullgren’s salary and his new boss has given him special dispensation to play loud music at work. According to Swedish online newspaper The Local Tullgren first developed an interest in heavy metal when his older brother bought a Black Sabbath album in 1971. Since then Tullgren is a classic (albeit softly spoken) heavy metal head with tattoos and skull and crossbones jewellery.

HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: CPC Gangbangs
Montreal Mirror – Jun 20, 2007
“I don’t think we will change people’s opinions and I really don’t care. You don’t start a band so 14-year-olds can talk about you on message boards. “But we’re one in a million black sheep of the Montreal music scene” continues De Polzac “There’s a million amazing metal bands for example that have come out in the past 10 years who all have a really big following and it’s not like they are going to get on the cover of the Mirror. While the band was bringing the chaos to the unwashed masses at U. basement shows and at local venues they caught the ear of the San Diego-based Swami label headed by indie idol John Reis and their new CD now bears the Swami imprint (the vinyl version is being handled by the local label Alien8). The band were indeed in good company as Reis is considered a legend in some circles due to practically inventing math-punk with Drive Like Jehu bringing swagger to indie rock with Rocket From the Crypt and then letting those two sounds collide in the highly influential Hot Snakes.

Top 198 hits chopping block in Idol’s music boot campUpdated Wed. 20 2007 12:39 AM ETEye on IdolMaking it to Toronto may have seemed like a big win for the competitors to arrive at Canadian Idol’s music bootcamp – until they realized just how many hurdles were left to make it through such a brutal week. The cross-country audition tour discovered 198 singers who were invited to Toronto for the next phase of the competition where singers would be eliminated every day a Top 22 chosen after four days of competition. As he packed his bags at home in Drumheller it was clear to Jaydee Bixby that the Toronto experience would be something totally new and clear to his parents that their son would have no problem handling it. “I’ve never been to Toronto before so I’m going to be pretty nervous” said the fresh-faced Bixby looking like a true Albertan in a sleeveless jean shirt. “He loves the people” noted his mother… Elimination was a quick process – the judges would separate each chorus line into two groups and one group would be cut. Dwight d’Eon impressed straight out of the gate with a resonating version of a Goo Goo Dolls song; Paul Fracassi – the artist formerly known as Johnny Nite – did a high-drama version of the Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun”; and pianist extraordinaire Geoffrey Stone tickled the ivories and the judges’ fancy with his obvious musical talent. Then came Dan Legrand the only metal-head left in the competition after Travis Thompson decided not to pursue the Idol dream after earning a gold ticket in Winnipeg. “I came here pretty trepidatiously” said Legrand whose song earned him a pass to the next day metal-voice and all. “I wasn’t sure if I’d fit in here. ” Shaggy-haired Tyler Mullendore convinced the judges he had the right voice and sunglasses for the job; baby-faced Joel Martin wowed with an acoustic arrangement of the Sir Mix-A-Lot classic “Baby Got Back;” Christine Hanlon’s booming jazz voice brought a new fantastic twist to Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody. ” The once-shy Morgan Donaldson had Werner pounding on the judges’ desk with primate-like excitement while Paul Clifford’s performance touched everyone in the room earning him a standing ovation and Flex’s obvious admiration.

We create spontaneous anti-art without rehearsing without lyrics without melody no harmony only emotions. It is proven that with music you can influence people. Black metal made people burn churches and kill people and terrorize in the name of intolerance. Music can cause chaos and fear. People into gothic ambient electro music have an overall depressed and dark state of mind. They are generally not averse to suicide they are into auto-mutilation. We consider this a good start but it is only a beginning.
