Please Don’t Ask

I’m sitting here feeling a bit under the weather. Spinning some Genesis to help with the healing process. It seems the multitudes of viruses, bugs, and general disease that have made their way through my home the last three months that failed to make their mark on me have, indeed, finally made their mark. I […]

Utopia Is A Doomed Flight To Mars…

Man, I gotta say that I’m finding it harder and harder to read a paper, get on the old interweb, or basically just stick my head out of the front door. It seems everywhere I’m looking it’s nothing but bad news, bad behavior, and bad executive orders. Or worse. Acquaintances, friends, and family are espousing […]

King’s Filth and Other Love Songs

Le Matos. A French Canadian synth band from Montreal. I’m not sure how to describe their music other than to say it’s a boisterously uplifting kind of electronic. It’s techno, heavy synth, house, and just plain hard-driving music. It’s what you’d have playing as you’re cruising the digital world in your Tron light cycle. It’s […]

Before Construction

trans·fer·ence -the action of transferring something or the process of being transferred. -the redirection to a substitute, usually a therapist, of emotions that were originally felt in childhood (in a phase of analysis called transference neurosis ). For me, Spoon is a band that delivers every time they put out a record. They just […]

New Age Music For Androids

Tim Hecker is a name I’ve heard quite a bit over the last three or four years. Ever since I fell into the musical wormhole that is Oneohtrix Point Never I’ve taken quite a bit more notice of electronic artists. Hecker’s Virgins was an album I’d jumped into and found interesting but it never quite […]

The Puppet’s Dream

A few months back I sat on a gloomy Sunday afternoon, ate some tacos, and watched this little indie horror film called We Are Still Here. A good friend told me I should watch it, so I figured why not? It was Sunday, gloomy, and there were tacos to be eaten. Turns out the film […]

Long Arm of the Law

For a few weeks now I’ve been working on a new musical project. It’s a collaboration with one of my oldest friends. This friend is an amazing artist and illustrator. He’s created almost all of the album art for the Goodbyewave albums I’ve put out over the years. He’s also put me onto some amazing […]

Mondomania

This will be a short one, folks. I’ve got a nifty new 10 inch vinyl to spin from my friends(pushers) at Mondotees and Death Waltz. It’s a little project called Victims, and the record is called Form Hell. It’s two tracks of bubbly, delicious heavy synth and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Well, had it […]

Wanna Fight?

Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives has to be one of the most divisive films to come out in some time. It came out with a mountain of expectations crushing it, almost making certain there would be a mob of folks claiming its worthlessness. I mean, when you’re having to follow up a film like […]

Gone Girl Gone

I didn’t find myself a fan of Nine Inch Nails until around 2005. Before that I always felt that the nihilism and angst was too overwrought. I couldn’t get into Trent Reznor’s techno/industrial dirges, even when he had a line in a song like “I want to fuck you like an animal/I want to feel […]
