About this contributor

All you'll ever need to know about Brian Hastie, DJ of Countdown to Armageddon, in bulletpoint form:

• Though his heart definitely belongs to metal, he enjoys almost all other forms of music/muzac/cacophony
• Brian thinks that picking a favourite band is like picking a favourite breath during the course of a day so he usually abstains, though if forced to pick he'll go with Ozzy-era Black Sabbath, quickly followed up with Dio-era Sabbath
• Brian has seen the inside of a police paddy wagon more than once, and always against his will
• In Brian's mind, a Jawbreaker reunion is a definite probability. To not believe in this would force Brian to re-evaluate his life options
• Brian used to party so hard that he'd often end up without pants, but he has remedied that situation with the help of crazy glue and some nice friends
• For some really strange reason, Brian has seen Less Than Jake in a live setting 9 times, though he really can't recall a single moment of any of those concerts
• If he were trapped on a long submarine voyage and forced to socialize with someone famous, living or dead, he would pick Steve McQueen, because you know he'll bring the action. Either that or he'll race the sub straight into the side of a rock formation and imminent doom would be on the horizon
• Questions? Concerns? Wanna know his strategy to defeating a zombie horde? Drop him a line or two at weirdoradio@gmail.com

You can also read his ranting over at his own blog at http://amusicallyrelatedblog.blogspot.com. You know you wanna click.

The Wu-Tang Clan is a vast army of slang-slinging, an enterprising group of hustlers who have no lost love for each other. But brotherhood is brotherhood and as such, they've managed to put out collective albums that have lasted beyond the ages. Hell, even their last record wasn't that bad. But their vast wealth of solo material available continues to boggle the mind as all 9 members (even Ol' Dirty Bastard, from beyond the grave) continue...
