A review in Slate <\/a>of the new film Brideshead Revisited<\/strong> refers to its “vomitous stupidity.” This is almost like a recommendation, at least as a rental. How stupid does something have to be to achieve vomitousness?<\/p>\n

Then, in an instance of serendipity (and I just read that serendipity<\/strong> has been voted Favorite Word somewhere) I received a newsletter from Vice Magazine<\/a><\/strong> with some photos of a Black Metal band called Vomit<\/strong>. Dutifully following the vomit trail, I found a site<\/a> where I can buy a reissured copy Vomit’s important 2007 CD, “Still Rotting.”<\/p>\n

Here is the track list:<\/p>\n

01. Armies of Hell
\n02. Damnation Of Sin
\n03. Dark Abyss
\n04. Rotting Flesh
\n05. Demonoid
\n06. Tormentor
\n07. Armies Of Hell
\n08. Sadistic Mind
\n09. Rotting Flesh
\n10. Lord Of Death
\n11. Lust Of Terror
\n12. Damnation Of Sin
\n13. Dark Abyss
\n14. Demonoid
\n15. Intro\/Bloodshed
\n16. Sadistic Mind
\n17. Abr
\n18. Orgie Of Piss
\n19. Animal Bizarre
\n20. Boiling Puke<\/p>\n

But when I googled Vomit, I kept getting links to a Peruvian Black Metal band called Anal Vomit<\/a><\/strong>. They aren’t supposed to be very good, but their first demo was called “Pregnancy Rotten Masturbator.”<\/p>\n

This is why it must be fun to be in a Black Metal band. You get to string along all the words that make your parents mad, plus all the words that make people go “eeow!” You get to have silly names, like “Hellhammer.” If you’re in a notorious Norwegian band called Mayhem<\/a><\/strong>, you even get to kill yourself or some other band member.<\/p>\n

Back to Brideshead Revisited, I never did like the book, despite being a huge fan of Evelyn Waugh<\/strong><\/a>. I thought it was stilted and pretentious, quite different from his scathing comic novels. I guess it was kind of vomitous, now that I think about it.<\/p>\n

Since revenge is a dish I enjoy either hot OR cold, here is more proof of my exhibitionism, a photo from two years ago, called “Sister Wolf, Metalhead<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
