heavy metal friday: redefined

the record label i interned @ during college began a tradition of Heavy Metal Friday (HMF). it is unclear at this time how prevalent HMF is in other workplaces. i hear it involves guitar hero, jussayin.

Q: what happens if you listen to [insert your favorite non-metal artist] on HMF?

A:
HMF is more an attitude than a music choice. On Fridays you should let your guard down and understand that all your drama in the work place can go on hold. It will be waiting for you on Monday, I promise. It's a time to stop taking yourself so seriously. So grab a cold [beverage], put on some AC/DC and walk away from your computer. Take a long lunch... Read more, hit a happy hour, educate your younger co-workers on the genius of CC DeVille. Whatever you do for HMF, do it with a smile on your face using Van Halen as the soundtrack. Life could be a lot worse.

I'm not a fan of Slayer or anything, but AC/DC is so not heavy metal. Listening to music that is played on classic rock stations doesn't qualify as letting your guard down.

hey creep (next i'm going to find out you're on twitter, too),

i don't even listen to any HM bands. i think the point is just to listen to whatever you want... & be happy about it. hence "more of an attitude than a music choice."

I think the point is to go outside your comfort zone. Heavy metal people should listen to Dido or Chopin on HMF.

My Mao stalking will probably increase as exams get closer. I almost started a blog once, but I couldn't come up with a cool title.
