So what now? I'm not a big interview guy, I've posted too much these past 2 days and I don't want to disappoint this community I love. Do I repeat bands? Do I try posting songs I don't even like, or do I just stop and let you take over?

Man, go with whats kinda metal.

I'm not a metal guy but most of my friends are. When I added the String Quartet Tribute To Tool to my mix my friends noticed.

When I went to a Dan Bern concert last year one of my metal friends said "Is that the Tiger Woods guy?"

Fuck labels. He was right, the weird 90s folk singer I added to our mixes did that song.

The elitism and people caring about sub-sub-sub-genres and debating what fits where is why I got out of the local metal scene.

I've grown to appreciate different genres, just exploring and finding crap I like, regardless of popularity or labels.

Musically speaking, I'm much happier with this practice than trying to fit in. But I've always been a loner even amongst other loners, lol.
