Soundtrack For A Panic Attack

So how often do you find yourself wondering what a panic attack would sound like as music? Would you think it would be something like Slayer’s “War Ensemble”, or Ministry’s “Psalm 69”? Or maybe something along the lines of eerie calliope music? Maybe Lou Reed’s “Metal Machine Music”? Before I’d ever heard The Haxan Cloak’s […]

Betrayed In The Octagon

I was trying to remember the first time I heard Oneohtrix Point Never. You see, that’s what I do in my spare time, people. I sit around and try and remember pointless drivel like “What year did ‘Paris, Texas’ come out?” and “What year did I drive 5 hours to Peoria, Illinois to see Rush […]

Blood In Blood Out

Roll The Dice. Now that’s an interesting band name. Really gives you plenty to go on, doesn’t it? So many connotations and directions you can head with a name like that. Now I didn’t pick up their album Until Silence because I thought their name was cool(which I did.) No sir, I picked it up […]

Thom’s Diner

Thom Yorke’s Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes seemed to have been greeted with a lot of “meh” and “whatever” back when it magically appeared online as a download last year with little to no fanfare. It rose from the ether of the internet and got a whole lot of flack, really. “Sounds like The Eraser”, “Boring”, “More […]

Struck With Deer Lungs

Now here’s an odd one. I discovered Huerco S. while perusing the Software label’s roster and I was immediately drawn to the bizarre face on the album cover. I figured “Hey, this is weird looking. I think I’ll like it.” Sure enough I did. In fact, it’s one of my favorite electronic music discoveries in […]

Thug Life

So who is Ryan McRyhew? Well, it’s hard to find much information on the guy. I do know he’s an electronic musician(as in he makes music using electronic boxes and keyboards ‘n such, not that he himself is electronic) from the Denver area. He’s played in a few different bands, such as The Devil Made the […]

The Space Jack Hummer

I’m not entirely sure what drew me to Ben Zimmerman’s The Baltika Years. It may have been the album cover, which was all white with what looked like confetti all over it. Maybe it was the fact that one of my new favorite record labels, Software, was putting it out. Or maybe it was the […]

Thom Yorke :: Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes

Out of the blue on what was thought to be just another normal Thursday afternoon Thom Yorke dropped a brand new solo album. No real warning, other than some random tweets of some mysterious white vinyl spinning. Thom and Radiohead are no strangers to the surprise release, with In Rainbows and The King of Limbs […]
