Back in our day, we didn’t have any of yer fancy iPods and ringtones and downloads. We didn’t have the luxury and convenience of your scrotum-rings and your World Wide Web logs. When we wanted to steal the new Uriah Heep album, we couldn’t just troll the Internets for it, we had to do it the old-fashioned way…

For non-metallers who have never ridden the lightning or reigned in blood, the world of heavy metal can seem impenetrable. Clearly, as we head into yet another big summer of metal festivals, some kind of idiot’s guide is needed, if only to help people distinguish shredding and cymbal chokes.

Twitter became a part of popular culture in less time then it takes to write a 140-character status update. According to the Pew Research Center, 11% of online American adults said they used a social networking service like Twitter last December. That’s up 2% from a few weeks earlier and almost double the 6% of Internet users in May 2008.

…when did it turn into April? Seriously. It feels like I missed January, February AND March somehow. And April is nearly halfway through.

On the plus side though, it’s nearly Star Trek time. 😀
