metal for librarians – the best idea I never had

Damn! A friend of mine who knows about my passion for metal as well as science-fiction pointed me to the website of a band called Bloodhaag that is playing “short songs with lyrics about science fiction and fantasy authors”. One of their aims is to educate the metal crowd about the books that influenced all their favorite bands. What the hell? Why didn`t I come up with this? Want a taste?

Philip K. Dick chorus: -Nothing’ s ever the way it looks!
The K is for kickin’ your ass with great books!
Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Genius! Paranoid lunatic!
Lies, Incorporated – Valis and Ubik
You got to stay the fuck back from Philip K. Dick!
Though he wrote some crap to pay the rent
Anyone could see his mind was bent
Everything is a lie. Reality is a sham.
Am I a Replicant? I don’t know who the fuck I am!
Repeat chorus!
And that`s just the beginning! The have a book out now accompanied by an audio CD and they list the American Library Association as one of their links. Nuff said. Too sad the book seems to be sold out. They have a really good reading list too! This has to be the official soundtrack for all my fellow library metalheads! All hail the fiends of the library!
