Slayer

It’s no secret that Slayer are one of the most important thrash bands. They set metal on a course through evil that would be unrivaled until Euros started burning down churches and killing themselves and each other. And let’s face it, that whole scene is quite laughable now in 2009. On the other hand, Slayer’s classic album covers (and even some of the new ones) are as creepy today as they were when I was 13. And through it all is that Slayer wordmark. Easy to replicate and insidiously evil it is a perfect heavy metal logo. Check out this awesome blog: Satan Laughs As You Eternally Rot.

Emoticult

Matt and I have both been obsessed with the People’s Temple and Jim Jones in general ever since we saw the PBS documentary on the subject. A lot of google searches later and it’s apparent that Jim Jones is a renewed subject of interest amongst all types. He’s popping up in art, fashion, and hardcore. In the spirit of collectivism, I spent a few minutes sprucing up everyone’s favourite ‘cool guy’ emoticon. Two messenger-friendly options available: Positive Jim Jones (“to me death is not a fearful thing…”) and Negative Jim Jones (“… it’s the living that’s cursed”).
