so here's the first posting. i expect many comments on "the new metal", such as "how did lars from metallica end up marrying matt damon's old girlfriend?" some questions, i expect, may only be theoretical, because there's probably no answer to this vexing question.

please feel free to make comments, ask questions, make veiled threats, etc.
