Industrial Death Metal Zits


    This is today's Zits comic strip.  I am familiar with Ulver, but the other two band names were new to me, and I wondered if they were made-up by the cartoonist.  So off to Google I went.

    It turns out they are real, and even have their own pages on Wikipedia.  They are indeed Industrial Death/Black Metal bands, but here's the curious part:

    All three bands are non-stereotypical for that genre, where the "norm" is pretending to be into satanism and ritual killing.  I need to camp out on YouTube and investigate them more deeply.

The problem with Classical Music


  True dis.  There have been times when I've wanted to find out who wrote some piece of classical music, and have had no idea how to Google that.  I end up making random guesses on YouTube hoping to luck into the tune.  One time it turned out to be Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.

Dinosaurs were made up by the CIA to discourage time travel

Something quick, as tonight was gym night. You might think the Google search shown above is fake, but it isn't. It's actually the name of a song by a group called Math The Band. Yeah, I've never heard of them either. You can buy the MP3 for 99 cents at Amazon. The link is here.
