On the street light across the street from my apartment, there are flyers taped up for a Lääz Rockit show. No, seriously. I was shocked that they still exist in any form. They weren't even second-string thrash, like Testament or Helloween... they were like, if you would buy anything as long as the guitars were chonking, you might pick up their cassette if you stumbled upon it in a Turtle's Records or a Camelot Music. They did a cover of 'Holiday in Cambodia' and the title track to Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, and probably broke the surface for about five minutes. Their later albums aren't bad, at least by my decidedly uncritical assessment at the time, but their first album is terrible.

Anyway, they're playing in town somewhere... I'm trying to figure out who these flyers are directed to, exactly. My neighborhood is part Korean, part Indian, and anyway I honestly don't know where aging thrash metal fans go. Or why they'd step out of their grown-up lives to go see Lääz frigging Rockit, of all the old bands they could catch up with. It's just bizarre, like that bronze disc they dug up in Germany... who was it meant for, and what is it supposed to do?
