Heavy Metal Parking Lot (promo)

Heavy Metal Parking Lot documents heavy metal music fans tailgating in the parking lot outside the Capital Centre (since demolished) in Landover, Maryland on May 31, 1986 before a Judas Priest concert (with opening act Dokken).

There’s just too much to say. Too much.

Watching Heavy Metal Parking Lot.

How did I miss this?

The best part of watching this movie now is seeing all the over-the-top metal dudes (and girls but mostly the dudes) get all pumped-up and pop a metal boner over bad ass Rob Halford from Judas Priest. Who, we know now, is gay.

In the future all the kids are born from a motherboard. They all speak in Auto-Tune and broken T-Pain lyrics.

And they watch movies about the Ark of the Covenant, which is pretty much just Kanye West’s testicles hidden inside the Hadron Collider but instead of Nazis there are reanimated members of the Wu Tang guarding it. And you have to recite the long-forgotten lyrics to “Robocop” to unlock the key.

So, yeah. I think Girl Talk’s probably a little happy.

Rod Stewart // Young Turks // Tonight I’m Yours

“What up lil’ mama? It’s your boy youngin’. G5 dippin’, Louis Vutton luggage.”

All the kids learnin’ the classics from the Girl Talk samplin’. Apparently the future is a big ol’ mash-up of GET OFF MY LAWN. If only the kids in the apocalyptic future ever knew there were once lawns.

Beck - Girl

Once they go Scientology, I usually try not to promote, but this time, whatever, it’s catchy. It’s stuck in my head.

At the “Fist pounding on the vending machine” part…

It is very important you make a fist-pounding in the air motion when you hear this part of the song otherwise you have to start all over again because 10 MINUTES ‘TIL WAPNER.

Jad Fair & Teenage Fanclub - Near To You

The part of this song where Jad Fair says he “would let Frankenstein punch [him] in the stomach” in order to be near his love interest is the most romantic musical moment of all time. Prove me wrong.

The man works on our 1940’s piano for an hour. It sounds a lot better. When he is done, he calls me in to play it. I play it and ask a few questions. It’s old and makes some weird sounds that would require some extensive repair. Nothing major though.

After he asks me about my life. He eyes my saxophones and says, “Would you mind playing for me?”

So I get one out and play a few bars of Georgia on My Mind. I’m a classical musician mostly, but I can get around the changes for Georgia. He smiles.

After that we walk about my life and my fiancée. He packs up his gear and prepares to leave. I ask him for the total. He says, “I have been very blessed in my life. I am now in the business of giving back to people who are just starting. Your playing was a payment in return for my service.” Then, through my protests, he put on his shoes and left.

I wish I played better.

What a sweet story.

Guys, I am totally wearing my SPORTS! t-shirt in honor of the World Series American Sporting Event. Again.

I’m not sure what else I can do to tell you I am serious about this sports shit*.

*You’ll see this photo again around Super Bowl time. I’m telling you, the $3.99 spent on iron-on letters has been my best, evergreen investment ever.
