This isn't a pitch. Around the time of my last entry, I started thinking about what sort of research I'd have to do for this screenplay idea. And--I hope I'm not giving too much away here--I was wondering how to get my hands on a lot of heavy metal music without paying a ton. The idea of bumming metal off friends at CE kinda bummed me out, because I'm not expecting to like the stuff, I just need to listen to it.
Then I remembered I'm a subscriber to Emusic. Sure enough, I've got access to over three hundred artists and well over a thousand albums categorized as "Metal." I've got several stashed for download (oooh, and they've got "Love Comes in Spurts" by Richard Hell. I've always wanted to hear that.) (And, no, Emusic didn't characterize that as metal; something about look at all those band titles made me think of Richard Hell and the Voidoids.) and will get 'em when I get home tonight. I'd think every music critic in the world would have a sub to Emusic--it makes writing about stuff you barely know anything about so much easier.
