Red Fang – Hank Is Dead

Red Fang – Hank Is Dead

Wednesday, 01. February 2012

This fucking post took me an hour to write only because I kept on listening to this song, and then the album and then I watched the video again and then I made some more coffee, smoked a few cigarettes and listened to it again. Damn you Red Fang for ...

Mastodon – Dry Valley Bone Video

Mastodon – Dry Valley Bone Video

Tuesday, 31. January 2012

If you are Mastodon ( ha, right, anyway ) and bring out one of the best metal albums of all times, which they did, how do you top that? Well, you can get Tim Biskup to direct and animate a video for one of your better ( if that is ...

Dr. Timothy Leary, Ph.D. – Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out [1967]

Monday, 30. January 2012

In case you ever wondered what Freedom sounds like, fret no more. The infamous title of this post actually does come from a doctor, the famous Timothy Leary, and if you look past what the conservative establishment has turned this phrase into, well, you are in for a ride. Back ...

Documentary About Life, Happiness, Money and Tech Metal

Documentary About Life, Happiness, Money and Tech Metal

Wednesday, 25. January 2012

"Why You Do This" is a question I need not to ask anyone that has been or is a touring band - we all know. For those that don't, and for those that want to remember, this documentary is an excellent low tech insight into the mind frame of exactly ...

So What’cha Want Revisted

So What’cha Want Revisted

Wednesday, 04. January 2012

If you can't be down with the Beastie Boys then Fuck You. I found this on Mr. Friedman's blog, excellent as usual, and it's a hilarious short film honouring those 3 chaps that did so much for everyone in this bullshit industry. Just watch it, granted it makes a lot of sense ...

No Made Sense “New Season/New Blues”

No Made Sense “New Season/New Blues”

Monday, 02. January 2012

I have started this new music year off with an album I slept on for the second half of 2011 and boy, am I kicking myself in the nuts for not having picked up this album before hand- No Made Sense's 2nd album "New Season / New Blues" came out ...

“No One Knows” Alt. German Version

“No One Knows” Alt. German Version

Thursday, 15. December 2011

Back in 2005 my lady and I went to a gig by a spoof band called "Dick Brave and The Backbeats"- it's a spoof band because their lead singer, is in actual fact one of Germany's biggest boy band-ish dudes- he wanted to break out of all that so he ...

Black Metal In The 90s

Black Metal In The 90s

Thursday, 08. December 2011

Long before every self proclaimed youth culture expert agency jumped on every imaginable bandwagon with the only intention of selling it and you off to the highest bider, "scary" subcultures existed, like Black Metal. I know it is hard to imagine a world where "sub cultures" existed without them having been ...

Lamb Of God’s New Song Kicks Ass

Lamb Of God’s New Song Kicks Ass

Wednesday, 07. December 2011

Not liking Lamb Of God is in a way similar to saying you don't like the first 4 Metallica albums- it's any oxymoron. I think it has been over 3 years or nearly so since Lamb Of God have released any new material, and while that wait is long I ...

Botswana Jams

Botswana Jams

Tuesday, 06. December 2011

It is not very often that I come across something in the guitar world that genuinely  makes my jaw drop- all the noodling and folky crazy jams on guitars are great and all but really, there is hardly anything new. Even if, mostly it sounds like shit. Today, the opposite happened. Via ...

Little John & The Monks

Little John & The Monks

Tuesday, 29. November 2011

A nod to a long, long time ago, today's tune of the day comes from a unfortunately, unsuccessful band called Little John and The Monks. They were part of the early 60s Pacific Northwest Garage Scene and some of you might even remember the tune from an old website called Black Lodges, ...

Black Tusk – Set the Dial

Black Tusk – Set the Dial

Tuesday, 29. November 2011

You know, I was going to write this really good review of the new Black Tusk album, which by the way is fucking killer, and lo and behold, the guys over at Invisible Oranges wrapped up a 4 page article in my head in 4 excellent articles. Fuck. So, rather ...

Melvins Q&A

Melvins Q&A

Monday, 28. November 2011

Might as well start the week off right- by reading this most excellent interview with the all mighty Melvins over at Decibel Magazine. Read it.

Tune For The Day

Tune For The Day

Wednesday, 23. November 2011

Just a little something that came my way this morning and that has helped me get through a bit of a shitter of a day. Nothing serious, fun and a little pissed off folk punk with smart lyrics. Good shit. Andrew Jackson Jihad- Return of the Magi 2. Jam out here. ...

11.11.11

Wednesday, 09. November 2011

People are coming up with the craziest shit because of this date, which I agree, is kind of cool in a elementary school way but my eye will only be on one event that day. Black Sabbath, in the only line up I accept: Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill ...
