Happy Zerday!

Zer. Today this blog is 1 year old. On anniversary dates, numbers, statistics and performance reports are always welcome, so here are a few:
- I am 1 year older too, the end is near. Zer.
- 1149 records uploaded (not all published on the blog yet).
- 490 posts about 470 or 480 bands, trying to gather as much of each band's discography as possible each time.
- a total of around 85,000 downloads. That could mean 85,000 visitors performing 1 download each, or only 1 visitor who ran 85k downloads. Blatant communism or hyper capitalism ? Zer.
- 0 advertisement here, fuck the "monetize" tab on the Blogger setup, I hate google ads and advertisement in general, well I hate a lot of things, but advertisement is a dear thing to hate with all my heart. I am a romantic hater. The advertisement industry must choke on its own vomit. Everybody painfully, slowly dies gasping for recycled air and 1 PM's meeting on the 23rd floor is canceled.

Oh, yesterday I watched the Anvil movie. I am an avid Anvil fan, I love the records and I looooved this film, yet it is rather sad (the movie, not their excellent-to-amazing discography) so prepare the tissues. Best drama of the year! ZERRRRRR !R !R !R R! If you've played in small bands for crowds of 12 people for the past 25 years, watch this... no love story or slumdog millionaire shit can move you like that. I was 15 and I sold my 5 years old stamp collection to buy a dozen records by Océan, Holocaust, Satan... and "hard'n'heavy", "metal on metal" and the then brand new, immense maszerpiece "forged in fire" ! Zer ! Great day ! Stamps had become really dull. Nostalgia über alles.
There was this big show in Montreal a few years ago with Piledriver, Exciter and Anvil. Anvil buried everyone on the bill easy! Ultimate zer live performance from Anvil. Anvil rock and zer!
Here is a stupid, lame review of the film, you might enjoy this review if you're not an Anvil fan like me...
Watching this movie right after the Iron Maiden "flight 666" thing is rather odd. Same generation, same music style, very different outcome... In comparison the Iron Maiden movie is boring, too repetitive and just obese. Maybe it is too long for what it has to show and say. Much less interesting than "Metal: a Headbanger's journey".
Other than that, happy zer day. One finds stimulating articles on Wikipedia after an Anvil screening, long live shared knowledge!
