Best of 2024 | This year we pulled in the best albums of the year. Some artists included are Darko The Super, illuminati hotties, The Real Blockhead, Phantogram, Myles Bullen, and many more.

As we edge closer to the end (of the year), it seems everything that happened was supposed to happen. Aside from the Luigi Mangione/Brian Thompson shooting/killing, there wasn’t anything we didn’t expect. Music and art are the only constant we have to figure within the unknown; both allow our em...

New Music | Friday Roll Out: This week we have a quick recap of The National live release and the new joint by King Ropes. The end of the year is near.

Never been too sure if there’s any real depth to stupid-stitions that revolve around Friday the 13th, although there was a close relative that would avoid going to work whenever there was one. The rest of the family would chalk that up to just being an idiot because that’s the way it always seem...

New Music | Friday Roll Out: Xeno & Oaklander release its new album Via Negativa [in the doorway light] (Dais Records).

Plans are sometimes cast to the wayside when you expect a week to move by quietly and unannounced but that monkey wrench, oooooh that monkey wrench. There wasn’t anything I planned to complete this week but, things change. Remembering something I was once told, and that was “Don’t let people k...

New Music | Friday Roll Out: This week we have The Body (Thrill Jockey Records) and Tactical Pagan (GIVE/TAKE | Avalanche Recordings).

TACTICAL PAGAN – S/T Industrial music has always seemed to take a backseat to other styles & genres. Ministry changed everyone’s outlook on it in the 90s but that was short-lived before it was sent back into the underground. But in darkness, there’s growth as well and industrial has shifted an...

New Music | Friday Roll Out: So much to unpack this week with releases by Mount Eerie, VOLUME, and a split single release by Hot Water Music & Quicksand (Equal Vision Records). Apparently, The Cure dropped an album and we just got word Psalm One did too!

So apparently, The Cure just released a new album. No, I haven’t listened to it but I did hear the first single, “A Fragile Thing” and it is good. I haven’t wrapped myself around it yet, probably because I don’t have any tears left. The song is what you might expect from Robert Smith; mela...

The Substance | Filmology Wiith Spoken Nerd

Just say no to these drugs. Summer was too long this year. For those of us who live in places like Tennessee, Summer is too long every year unless you moved here from California to complain about the freezing 71-degree cold fronts of September.
