Dispatches from Powerviolence: Dillinger on Charlie Rose



I seriously had a fuckhard time deciding if this should be in the Dispatches category or an Important Moments In... Either way, it could totally be both, and it's powerviolence nonetheless. The best way i can sum this up is probably by what I said when I first saw it: "What the hellfuck? Since when did Charlie Rose take Jasta's spot on Headbanger's Ball?" .... Yeah, it was that kind of nutty... I really just wanna sit down with Rose's production people and figure out how this giant, glorious mindfuck happened... Shouldn't he be interviewing Angelina Jolie about buying foreign children, Johnny Depp about coming out of the closet, or that dude who owns Virgin Records about his plans for space travel affordable enough for the fuckin' middle class?? What intern of his (who, I'm assuming is secretly is like us, and has amazing taste in music) infiltrated the system, and told them to interview the mighty DEP?? Regardless, however it went down, I think I need to buy someone a drink... But chances are, that someone will be me.

My favorite part of this is how Charlie's gang describes the band on his website and youtube page: "The Dillinger Escape Plan {DEP} is a heavy metal rock band [whose] lyrics are nonstop dystopia. But the words hardly matter." ... I'm sure someone in a meeting totally said "Yeah! Say it like that! That'll scare the middle-Americans!" I feel like that sentence should be read by the movie trailer voice guy... Fo realz... Anyway, I'm rambling... Without further chatterboxing, just watch the damn video already:
