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
