Black Mountain : Destroyer

I remember when I got my drivers license. I was a late bloomer and didn’t get mine till I was 17. After some shenanigans prior to being 16 and my uncle’s 1949 Chevy, I was banned from getting my license for a bit. But when I did finally get it, it was such a feeling […]

Black Mountain’s Gotta “License To Drive”

We’re a mere two weeks away from the release of Black Mountain’s newest opus Destroyer, an album I’ve been anticipating since the day it was announced. Black Mountain work a certain voodoo in their sound, one where the swirl of psychedelia, 70s prog, and 80s leather jacket heavy metal all coalesce into a massive shot […]

Black Mountain Want To Be Your “Boogie Lover”

We’re just a little over a month away from Black Mountain dropping their follow-up to the 2016 masterpiece IV. Destroyer, it seems, is gearing to be one of the band’s heaviest records yet. I’m excited about that. It’s also a little bittersweet given that this is the first album without founding members Amber Webber and […]

JHubner73 Presents: Favorite Albums of 2016 Top 10

You know, I never thought I could look forward to a year ending as much as I’m looking forward to 2016 ending. It’s been a pretty lousy year; political bullshittery, musical geniuses passing on before their time, so many tragedies worldwide(too many to name here), and just a general feeling of existential malaise that at […]

Ribbed and Veined

So yesterday was the big day. The dance with the doc. My one on one with a scalpel. My herniated disc was going to be dealt with surgically. I have to say, I was not looking forward to it. In fact I was kind of dreading it. I was wanting it taken care of. I […]

Black Mountain : IV

I’m on my third listen of Black Mountain’s newest opus, the labyrinthine IV. It should be no surprise that I will need a few more listens before I’ve covered all the nooks and crannies of this stately beast of an album, but I can say very confidently that everything they’ve done beforehand has been building […]

Sinoia Caves : Beyond The Black Rainbow Soundtrack

I love whims. They seem to reciprocate some of the best finds. On a whim, I picked up Breakfast of Champions at 15 years old and discovered one of the greatest writers in my time or any other time. On a whim I went on a blind date when I was 17 and found the […]
