Easily one of the most hilarious anime I've seen, and I'd guess that this community would enjoy it. Think of it like metalocolypse, except lots more consistently funny.

Essentially you have:

A guy whose into trendy magazines and swedish pop who also happens to be:

Emperor Krauser II, the reigning king of the Japanese Death Metal scene (or maybe black metal, I'm terrible with sub-genres). Hilarity ensues.

Anyway, they're 10-minute episodes, as opposed to the normal 20 minutes. Here's some downloads: http://www.cyber12.com/page-Detroit_Metal_City.html

Any fans of the series, by chance?

I've wanted to see it, but haven't been able to find a decent torrent yet. Gimme a few days. :P

...Sort of sounds...well...really random.
Like Fooly Cooly...?
Oh man.
Random anime astound me...but seeing as the episodes are only 10 minutes, I'll have to watch 'em.

Heh, it's not really random in the way you're thinking. The humor is structured around jokes that make sense, rather than FLCL's mind-numbingly awesome absurdity.

It is very fast-paced and high-intensity humor, like FLCL, though.

Yeah I've heard of this before, I haven't been able to find it until now, thanks for the links!

No problem.

Yeah, been a few weeks since I finished the series, and I still think it's great. A good sign that it wasn't just my initial impression that made me interested.

Detroit Metal City uses humor similar to that of Cromartie High School: surrealistic and illogical.

Fucking awesome show.

I have yet to see Cromartie (well... I think I saw episode 1 dubbed a while back), but it just jumped to the top of my plan-to-watch list.

Also, RapeRapeRapeRapeRapeRapeRapeRapeRapeRape. Damn, it takes me 2 and 1/2 seconds.
