Ben Folds is just a freaking amazing musician. I’ve seen him live twice now and have tickets to see him again in May. One of the things he does is create songs on stage. He’s a very in-the-moment kind of artist. It should be no surprise then that Ben incorporated Chatroulette in a recent show. […]
If you’re familiar with how Nine Inch Nails works then the idea behind Pain should be easy to grasp. Hypocrisy frontman Peter Tägtgren is the sole member of Pain, similar to Trent Reznor and NIN. NIN is also a good comparison for sound, though Pain has a bit heavier metal sound. Pain is somewhere between […]
A few weeks back I decided I wouldn’t just blog about music I like, I’d blog about any music I come across. While that time it was clearly for an inside joke, this time I’m serious. I don’t really like O’Death but I’ve listened to a half-dozen tracks and figured someone else might like it. […]
Call it an oversight on my part that I’ve yet to mention the Sea Dogges here. For those of you who listen to RPG podcasts you might already be familiar with Springfrield’s own Capt’n Black’s Sea Dogges. Former podcasters, Chuck and Lonnie, of the Dragon’s Landing Inn are members and it was that connection that […]
I love rock opera. I love post-apocolyptic future settings. I love torn characters, tragic romance, deception, isolation,murder… ohhhh murder. I love gothic and punk fashions, cult films, and Paris Hilton… Ok, maybe not that last one. Repo! The Genetic Opera is not for everyone. Hell, its not even for the majority of people. Still, there […]
Have you ever wondered what Flogging Molly would sound like if Dave King was Romani instead of Irish? Neither had I, but since being introduced to Gogol Bordello I know. I had never heard the term Gypsy Punk but I guess if you can have Irish Punk then why the heck not? Below you’ll find […]
I thought about it and decided this column doesn’t need to be just about music I like. This week, I’m going to talk a bit about a song I despise. A song that represents everything that was wrong with disco. You should also know that Jared Sorensen loves Abba. You should go tell him how […]
I once read in an interview that She Wants Revenge said, “What could be better than having someone want to cry, fuck or get up and dance to your music?” If there is a single phrase that sums up their music it would have to be that one. Music aside their music videos are fantastic. […]
This marks the return of the Justice Files in a new, smaller, semi-regular format. Instead of ranting for pages about something I’m going to give a quick synopsis of what it is, where I found it, and why I like it. Link to a song or YouTube video then leave you to decide if you […]
Sweet cans of awesomesauce! When we last spoke with Nox Arcana frontman Joseph Vargo right before the release of the super awesome Blackthorn Manor, he had hinted that we’d see another Nox Arcana album before the end of the year, and I must have completely zoned out, because not only is it already available for […]
