I-bet-you-had-no-idea fact of the day

So, generally I do love rolling around in a lot of good indie music, and have for quite sometime. I mean hey, I've been listening to KEXP waaaaay before you, since I was like 13, when it was KCMU, and dan savage was hosting a creepy show on there (extra-hipster-I'm-cooler-than-you claim to fame fact).

But sometimes, when I'm feeling a little down, and I need a big brake from some songs that remind me of too many things, I move on to my next huge secret love. Ok, here it goes; I'm secretly a huge metalcore fan. What the hell is metal core? Think stuff like Botch, or Ministry (ok, maybe some of that gets a little industrial--which I will definitely never admit to listening to).

I'm pretty sure there are only like 2 people in the world that know this about me. And the rest, upon finding out, will probably be shocked and disgusted. But I have this secret collection of this crap music, that every once in a while, I like to bust out and turn up and drive really fast too. It always makes me want to smoke a cigarette and take a shot of whiskey (well, maybe not while I'm driving--I'm not that hardcore).

My lovely roomie let me borrow her souped up Honda (she accidentally bought it that way) this weekend, as my car pretty much no longer goes forward (though reverse works fantastically). It was great--I drove around really fast all day in this crazy rice-rocket thing with a huge spoiler--windows down playing Ministry really loud. It must have been quite the unfortunate sight. Maybe I should have picked up some Destiny's Child instead.
