When I first heard the album “You’re Not Alone”, I was fairly new to sobriety and in the process of a divorce. Everything in my life was raw and fairly new. Most people who get sober don’t make it past the first year. Too many things bring them back to the drink. While working the […]
In 1999, Neurosis came out with the album “Times of Grace“. That album, apparently was done in parallel with a lesser known side project of theirs – Tribes of Neurot. I’ve heard the combination of these albums before (both albums playing at the same time). I wasn’t aware there was an entirely separate album though. […]
Remote management of WordPress sites is important to me. I manage a number of WordPress sites. I find myself, often, in the same situations doing the same things. Naturally, I wrote scripts to automate this. I made a software package out of these scripts and put them up in GitLab (you’re not still using GitHub […]
Over the last month I’ve been a vocal proponent of people coming together. I’ve called for humility in conversations. I’ve noted the false dichotomies that are prevalent in social media and news media cycles. Generally, I have asked a lot of you to be open minded about things you feel strongly about. I’m going to […]
Warbringer has been around for a while. I recall watching them live a few times back when I was pushing Florida Death Metal. They’re a throwback to the early days of Death Metal when the genre really hadn’t distinguished itself from Thrash Metal. The results are pretty awesome. I hope you’ll check them out.
When I was a 14 year old kid just getting into metal, Raped Ape was one of the local bands all the older metal heads use to talk about with respect and reverence. At the time, I wasn’t ready for that style of thrash and death metal. Around 1996 the band effectively disbanded. I hadn’t […]
Awesome Retrowave is a thing I’ve been on for a while now. I was happy to share about Perturbator yesterday. A few years back I was introduced to the Retrowave genre. Awesome hitters in the Retrowave genre include Perturbator, Daniel Deluxe, and Gost. Spotify suggested Master Boot Record and now I’m hooked. It’s awesome. I’ve […]
Perturbator is an amazing Retrowave Synth band (actually just one guy, though he tours with a band). The intro to this album is appropriate for the time and age we live in today. It’s clip from the dystopian film “The Network”. It’s worth a view by itself: Anyways, that’s the original clip that’s part of […]
I’ve recently called out Social Media and News outlets for the proliferation of online shaming to convey a message to it’s readers and consumers. I ask – no, I implore – anyone who reads this to evaluate the way in which you convey what’s important to you online in the same manner you would in […]
Well, here’s some more odd music. A friend of mine turned me on to these guys a couple of years ago. Sunn is easily one of the oddest bands around. Most of their music is better suited as background noise for intelligent tasks or doing drugs. I don’t do drugs, but I do listen to […]
