This is the first of two posts I'll do this week. As I said last Friday, I'm just gonna go over some songs so I can get ahead on my writing and be ready to get back in full swing in October. Today I'm gonna have a look at a handful of videos that have …
A Quick Programming Note
I've been very spotty with my posts lately and I need a minute to reset and recharge a bit. Work has been especially brutal lately and my now middle-age body isn't responding to it well, I'm very far behind on stuff I need to get done, and September is always a super busy month with …
Album Of The Week – September 19, 2022
This week's pick is a notable album from 1993 that marked a major lineup change for a long-running group as well as a shift in sound from their standard thrash to a more fit for the times alternative metal approach. Anthrax – Sound Of White Noise Released May 25, 1993 via Elektra Records My Favorite …
Incantation – Deliverance Of Horrific Prophecies
Today's single is a relic, both of my collection of the death metal renaissance of the early 1990's. I originally purchased this record via mail order in 1992 or '93, not sure exactly. And it's in my collection today, though it spent a very long time not in the collection. It's a story I'll tell …

Tales From The Stage – White Zombie
Today I'm going into a now distant memory from a show I saw in 1995. It was the “great summer” between the time I graduated high school and went into the US Navy. It was a case of the openers outshining the headliner, and one opener being an act who'd stick with me for many …
Album Of The Week – September 12, 2022
This week it's a look at a 52 year old concert but one only released in full 2 years prior. It was an odd concert for a bad film and was also the second-to-last US performance of rock and roll's preeminent guitar legend. The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Live In Maui Material originally recorded July …
The Singles Series – Bad Brains
Today's single is a massive force from one of the most innovative and pioneering bands in the punk and hardcore scenes. Bad Brains wrote the book on fast, ferocious music and one of their signature songs is the feature of this single. Also I chose not to air the title of the song out in …
S-Tier Songs, Vol. 15
This is another edition of S-Tier songs. For the premise behind this exercise and the list of prior inductees, click here. Today I visit a song from 2000. Not a hotbed year of music, at least what I and many others who read this listen to. But this band and this song would rise up …
Leg Day
I'm calling this leg day because, just like leg day, I'm skipping some posts this week. I clearly didn't do an album of the week yesterday. The holiday weekend, and more specifically me working it, left me with less time than I was anticipating. I've had a ton of other stuff to take care of …
Upcoming Releases – Labor Daze
I've been up against it on posts lately, but the old reliable upcoming releases rises again. We are about to enter a holiday in the US, which I actually don't have off. I'll get paid handsomely for my time so it's all good. I might even buy records with my excess money. Or, with the …
