[EMF] Effing Metal Friday 8.30.13: The End of Summer

Technically, September 1st is the meteorological end of summer, so we have that going for us, which is nice. The arrival of Autumn brings new life to me. The season typically signals the transition into dormancy, a time to harvest before resting. Not here at the Roboto Residence; Autumn is a welcome friend. So, fellow lovers of Fall, sit a spell and enjoy some good music. Some of these songs involve Summer or Autumn, some don’t – just roll with it.

“But when fall comes, kicking summer out on it’s treacherous ass as it always does one day sometime after the midpoint of September, it stays awhile like an old friend that you have missed.”

Yes, I post a ton of Baroness; go get some. I’m guilty of playing favorites and these guys are just a breath of fresh air to me. Baroness take chances, they care about the drummer and bassist working together, they care about melody, and it’s blatant that they care a great deal about guitars. Support this band. Please. They need to make a living and I need more of their amazing music. Sorry. Rant complete.

This one is for Old School Wade. Hope you got your Iron Maiden beer.

This video is missing an appearance from Conan the Barbarian and legal action from Stanley Kubrick. The band obviously stole this masterpiece from him. So cheesy and unaware that it moves to iconic in my book.

Good luck getting this out of your head.
