Sunday Metal Song: Helmet, “In the Meantime”

Posted in Sunday Metalhead Minute with tags on Monday, January 5, 2009 by Ryan Buege

If you haven’t noticed from the lack of posting on the site lately, everyone at mind inversion seems to be enjoying their winter break far too much right now. Things should be picking up again here shortly; I’ll be covering several awesome metal shows in the area over the next few months featuring Meshuggah, Krisiun, Kreator, Exodus, and many more. In the meantime (pun intended), I’m here to satisfy your Sunday Metal Stoner craving with some riff-heavy rocking straight from the fretboard of Page Hamilton.

Helmet, “In the Meatime” (from Meantime, 1992)

Hello again boys and girls, it’s that time of the month again (no…not that time) for a nice little playlist to get you through these treacherous winter months here in the midwest. There’s no real flow to this thing, so it’s not a playlist as much as it is just tracks together in one spot that I’ve had on repeat lately. I suggest them all, of course, so if you’re bored or just looking for some new material to get into give these a peek. Hope you all enjoy! xoxo Erik

Kurtis Blow – “The Breaks”

It’s that time of year again, for a new year. And good thing too, I personally am beyond ready to put 2008 behind me, but what should I be looking forward too? Not sure really, resolutions? a “fresh” start? Obama? All of the above I suppose, but let’s face it, nobody sticks to their resolution (let me be the first to admit that I already ruined mine) and that whole “fresh” start thing is just lame.
2009 has started off pretty well for me (minus the whole resolution thing). I mean, the first two hours of the year was spent dancing to Hercules and Love Affair and then having a drink with the man himself. So maybe I should look forward to the new musical horizons. Yeah…there we go, music. And what better way to celebrate the first New Music Tuesday than with a stellar release from musical geniuses Animal Collective, their new release Merriweather Post Pavillion, which recently leaked, is shaping up to be one of their strongest releases to date.
So how about that, great music to jump start 2009 and hopefully pave the way for a year that’s much better, to me at leas,t than last year was. I’ll have a full review of Merriweather up as soon it hits shelves officially on the 6th, until then enjoy this new track. Happy New Year!
