ITP V.011 UPDATE: LAST DAY OF 2011



...Sooooo, it's the last few hours of 2011. I have no words, just a career high in posts (over 1,300 some odd posts) and a huge and very successful blog with a life of it's own. Of course, ITP will stay ACTIVE, bruising egos, the truth sayer of metal and culture. ITP V.012 1/1/2012.

ITP SOCIAL JUSTICE: The irony of being a little off topic to metal, ITP is very proud that New York State has won the battle for marriage equality, gay marriages are LEGAL in New York State, keep fighting for justice. The West Memphis Three are FREE, (Jessie Misskelly, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin), and these little victories make 2011 a watershed year.

WE WON, HUGS ALL AROUND..

Thank YOU ARAB SPRING ( Tunisia, Egypt ect.) and OWS for righteous revolutions \m/ m/ we're with you. Thank YOU TUBE, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, MYSPACE, and of course BLOGSPOT/BLOGGER , we're on your side. THANK YOU ACLU, and EFF. Thank you "Duece" (entertainment attorney)..Thanks to family and friends, soup kitchens.

Extreme metal still rules, ITP will continue on, although I've had a cold for the last few months, as we're committed to keeping ya updated on metal news, reviews, tour dates ect.

Thanks to all extreme metal labels, however, big or small NUCLEAR BLAST,  PROFOUND LORE, METAL BLADE , promoters, festival organizers, booking agents, keep sending me your news.. And of course ITP READERS WORLD WIDE, THANK YOU, I SALUTE YOU.
I'm exhausted and stoked for 2012, reviews coming up today and tonight and metal news features.

Thanks to all for the help and moral support in a transitional year, to the fuck heads FUCK YOU for your denial of your own baggage, justice is coming. No thanks to perhaps the flu, bad weather, Tsunami's, EQ's, Hurricanes, wingnuts.
Last but not least, thank you to all of the musicians in the indie scene (extreme metal) whom perform and record their music for the passion and love of the art, not just for money, as this enhances our lives for the individualism of whom we are, a world wide evolving scene, up against the grain of commercialism, thanks for the great music, I look forward to more.

Thanks from ITP V.011 HAPPY NEW YEAR....If ya drink DON'T DRIVE, if ya drive DON'T DRINK..
