The new ish of Strange Horizons in out, with an interview with Bloodhag, the
|
|
most metal of the all the science fiction metal bands.
|
|
|
|
Soon, the spotlight comes up again. The lead singer grabs the microphone.
|
|
"This is Frank Bellknap Long!" he yells, and, feverish, launches into a
|
|
lecture on Long's oeuvre. There can't be more than a handful of people on
|
|
this earth who could get a beer-sodden thrash crowd to listen to an English
|
|
Lit lecture. Thirty seconds later, the audience is sufficiently educated,
|
|
and the guys begin to wail. Jake the singer holds the microphone over his
|
|
head and belts out the song in a growling voice that's monster-movie low.
|
|
"No reason! No corners!" he shouts. Two minutes later, they're done with
|
|
the pulps and ready to move on to the New Wave. "Our next song is about
|
|
Harlan Ellison!" Jake bellows, and the geeks, the hipsters, the metalheads,
|
|
and the drunks let out a howl of mutual joy.
|
|
|
|
Blöödhag -- note the dual umlauts -- hails from Seattle. Describing
|
|
themselves as "edu-core," the band performs nothing but two-minute thrash
|
|
tributes to science fiction writers. Between songs, the band pelts the
|
|
audience with paperback books, quizzes them on book titles, and demands
|
|
that the audience show their library cards. Their motto: "The Faster You Go
|
|
Deaf, the More Time You Have to Read."
