Let The Bruise Blood Come Out

This is an interesting one for me. You see, it seems I discovered the wonderful world of anxiety attacks the summer of 2014. I’m not sure why they started coming on. My wife had gotten a new job that had her traveling quite a bit. That might have been a part of it, with me […]

Afterthought Part Three : White Hill’s ‘Walks For Motorists’

One of the albums that unfortunately fell through the cracks with me in 2015 was White Hills’ Walks For Motorists. It was one of those records I was extremely excited about as White Hills has been one of my favorite bands ever since I first discovered them courtesy of Joe over at 1537. I’ve even had […]

Favorite Music Videos of the Year(is that still a thing?)

“Favorite Videos of the Year”. That statement seems so antiquated nowadays. Do you remember back in the day when there was music television? You know, MTV and VH1? If you’re not familiar, they were these cable networks that used to play nothing but music videos made by artists to compliment the music they made and […]

Existential Fez

So as I’ve stated recently, I was never much of a video game guy(or gal for that matter.) That’s not to say I don’t appreciate what goes into a great video game. I appreciate the art and imagination that goes into creating a totally immersive alternate reality in a video game like I appreciate what […]

Lemmy

It shouldn’t be a surprise that Lemmy Kilmister has died. I mean, over the last few years his health has declined quite a bit. Even in the documentary Lemmy from back in 2010 he seemed more weathered than usual. I listened to his interview with Marc Maron just a couple months ago and he sounded […]

8-bit Memories

I’ve never been much of a video game player. Growing up in the late-70s and early-80s that statement seems nothing short of blasphemy, I know. But I could never really get lost in a video game, not like my friends could. My brother and I did have an NES and I got hooked on a […]

Christmas Time Is Here

Merry Christmas. It’s Christmas morning here in Indiana. I’m sure it’s Christmas wherever you’re reading this as well(unless you’re in Australia…or in the biodome on Tralfamadore.) It’s another great morning with the family. My wife and I have been celebrating Christmas together since December of 1991. If you do the math, that’s….a hell of a […]

Afterthought Part Two : Pinkish Black’s ‘Bottom of the Morning’

Pinkish Black’s Bottom of the Morning is one of those albums you need a few listens with before you can start to truly appreciate what they’ve created. I’m not familiar with their previous records, but this one is a full-on synth/drum goth album. Bottom of the Morning also includes vocals from keyboardist Daron Beck, which […]

Afterthought Part One : Zombi’s ‘Shape Shift’

Every year after completing my list of favorite albums I usually have that moment of “Damn! How could I forget that album?”, and it usually occurs about five seconds after I hit “Publish” on said favorites list. So for the next few days I’ll post about those records I forgot to give ample love to. […]

Ghost Story

I realize there’s been a lot of talk about horror soundtracks around here lately, but that’s just where I’m at right now. You dig? But listen, everything I’ve talked about up to this point is nothing compared to what I’m about to discuss. Yesterday I received in the mail what is easily the greatest horror […]
