I was going to wait ’til after midnight here in Cascadia to post this, but what the fuck. It’s already after midnight everywhere in the world except the Americas. So, on behalf of all your embarrassing friends at NCS, I want to wish everyone out there a Happy New Year. May 2012 be better for you than the year just ended. Take care of yourself, look after your friends, and don’t let the bastards get you down.
And yeah, I know what that photo looks like. We do like our massive ejaculations here in Seattle. If you’d prefer a less ejaculatory photo, I like the one after the jump, too. It has pretty colors. There are also three songs after the jump, including a brand new version of the New Year’s traditional featuring lead guitars by Jeff Loomis. Rock on.
First song:

It went up on SoundCloud a few hours ago and it’s pretty sick):

Third song (because this is how we should be walking into the new year — with horns to the fucking sky):

2 hours in the new year and enjoying it immensely!
HAPPY FUCKING NEW YEAR TO Y’ALL
Excellent! 2 hours in, and you’re still at least partially upright.
Good morning and Happy New Year!!!!
This time zone and international dateline shit maketh my head to hurt. It’s still 5 1/2 fucking hours until midnight here.
I’m from the future. All your base are belong to us.
You mean we have a future??? But it belongeth to you and your species? I must think about whether this is good news or very bad news.
Well, it’s not likely to be good news, is it?
our track record has things starting well, but it always ends in lubey tears and tentacles.
I am really drunk and I fucking love you guys.
I am drinking something called “Holy Water” (all I know is that it has vodka and rum in it) and throwing M-80s on a bonfire. Happy metal fucking New Year you fucking fuckers.
Goddamn, I wish I had some M-80s. And a bonfire. Maybe I’ll just set my home on fire. I’m just starting to hit the amber bead, as they call this shit in Scotland. I’m catching up with you guys fast. But it’s stil FUCKING 3 1/2 hours away from midnight here in Cascadia!!!
Wait! I get it now! It’s called Holy Water because after a couple drinks of it, you think you’re God!
15 minutes to go and I feel like my head is going to explode. Nyquil is my beverage of choice tonight
That sounds like the bad “my head is going to explode” instead of the good “my head is going to explode”. But if I’m wrong about that, I may need to experiment with a Nyquil chaser.
Is Old Man Windbreaker the only metalhead (loosely applied term) who didn’t get drunk on the night of New Year’s Eve, and decided to watch the stars instead, while listening to “Roka Has Radio” by Thy Catafalque? Probably.
But, is one the only one among the readers and writers here who didn’t get drunk? One wonders if that is either incredible, or just incredibly lame…
No sir. You are not the only one. I in fact, do not drink ever and just decided to play cards and general knowledge quizzes with my family… Yes, I am THAT fucking hardcore! 😛
I don’t drink either, so there. I spend New Year’s Eve having man and wife kind of fun, the best fucking fun there is 😉
Nothing is lame if you enjoy it!
I just enjoy not remembering anything once in a while.
