Lefsetz's take on it:

He was just an emerging metal deity talking to a bunch of local street kids and metal head military dudes that day. Headbangers Ball was back on MTV 2. I don't know if it is now, as MTV 2 is gone from the channel line-up here where I live. Of course, from what I saw of it it was pretty much all that Nu Metal shit. It still is I see: I remember when Kevin Seal and then, Adam Curry, hosted it.

Caganers: figurines of defecating world leaders in Catalan nativity scenes The 'caganer' (literally 'defecator') is a feature of Catalan nativity scenes. The figure is usually tucked away in a corner of the model, far away from the manger itself, for children to find. The caganer represents fertility and equality.

I suppose I was thinking of the metalhead comedy routine I saw him do once.

That Metal Show (VH1 Classic.com) You can watch whole episodes of this show online. It is hosted by Eddie Trunk, Jim Florentine, and Don Jamieson. I guess the format is borrowed from one of those ESPN sports shows. I wonder why they did not get Jim Breuer as a host. One of the episodes features Yngwie Malmsteen, who I met once, outside KNAC in Long Beach, CA., sometime in 1985.

All of their early cds needs re-mastered. The cd of Reckoning sounds like it was mastered off of a cassette tape or something.

Spectacle website Looks like there are clips, but not whole episodes. It could be that one could find whole episodes out there somewhere. The Sundance Channel should get their shit together and put whole episodes up there for people to watch.

The Pigpen tracks we talked about a while back were put up at bt.etree.org today.

Whiskeytown and Old 97's - you can find this episode on various BT sites. Wilco - you can find all of these on J Hamm's site.
