Circumstances dictate that I've got Metallica on my mind. I loved their music when I was a teenager trying to "find myself." Now they seem somewhat anachronistic, if not totally irrelevant. They're holding on to something that's long dead. Irony.
I recently helped a friend box up the contents of his apartment in the course of his moving to a new place. He dialed up a custom Pandora channel on his laptop, thereby unleashing several old-school (or at least "older school") Metallica songs, including "Harvester of Sorrows" (language of the mad!) and "Four Horsemen." Oddly, the next day my e-mail inbox pointed me to this gem, which has since provided me with hours of clap-along joy. Today "Enter Sandman" seems vaguely memorable at best, but this version is better than the original ever was!
