I’ve been holding off on writing this article for awhile now. I discovered William Elliott Whitmore around the same time as O’Death – They both did 7″ splits with Murder by Death. The reason I waited was because I wasn’t sure at first if I liked Whitmore or not. After spending a week listening to […]
This stupid standing cat video has been seen all over the world (I bet your mom, who doesn’t even own a computer, has seen it), but dammit…you put that stupid cat in a hat, and play some mariachi music, and all of a sudden, it’s Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I’m hoping the sequel […]
Again with the old CDs I found, another band the turned up was Type O Negative. Unlike most bands I listen to, I remember how I discovered Type O. It was 1997 and I was a wee lad of thirteen. I bought a video game, Blood and on the CD there was a music video. […]
This week, I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Everyone knows who Queen is. I mean, according to The Guinness Book of World Records, Queen albums have spent a total of 27 years on UK album charts. In case you missed that: 27 years, that’s more time than any other musical act. Queen […]
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 […]
CUE: OCD Old Man Rant I’m not much on the all you can eat buffet. Sure, when I was 20 years old nothing excited me more than a pizza buffet. I remember once, when complaining to Mama at Mama’s Pizza that more pizza was needed on the hot table, she told me I’d had enough. […]
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 […]
